"A new psychological thriller from suspense powerhouse S. F. Kosa featuring a decades-old secret, a mysterious cult fire, and a woman looking to outrun the ashes of her past . . . until they come roaring back once more.
Dora is always aware of the line between fact and fiction. As a fact checker at an online magazine, her job depends on it. And as a woman outrunning her secrets, so does her life. But when a colleague decides to pursue a story about a murder in her hometown, one linked to a deadly fire at a cult compound twenty years prior, suddenly all of Dora's carefully spun deceptions are at risk.
And if she can't stop the story, her entire life is on the line.
As Dora works with her colleague, altering facts to hide her past along the way, she's thrown back into a world she tried desperately to leave behind. One of ritual and belonging, of danger and darkness. A world where two girls promised to help each other through . . . until it all went up in flames.
As her lies pile up, so do the murders. Until Dora realizes she won't be lucky enough to escape twice."
"A terrifying new novel from bestselling #HorrorBookTok sensation Ania Ahlborn—the acclaimed author of the modern classic Brother.
Hailed as a writer of "some of the most promising horror I've encountered in years" (Seanan McGuire, author of the Ghost Roads series), Ania Ahlborn delivers a novel that pushes the boundaries of horror into a new realm.
Isla Hansen, a mother reeling from a devastating loss, is beside herself when a mysteriously orphaned child appears on the outskirts of the Hansens' secluded Colorado property. Although strange and unexplainable, the child's presence breathes new life into Isla. But as the child settles in, Isla's husband, Luke, and their five children notice peculiarities that hint at something far beyond the ordinary—anomalies that challenge the very fabric of reality itself. The tension within the Hansen household grows, and with it, the sense that there is something very wrong with the new kid in the house.
The Unseen is a haunting tale that walks the line between the familiar and the unknown, drawing us into a chilling narrative where reality itself feels just out of reach."
"Death doesn't lie, but demons do.
In the shadows of Salem's historic streets, ancient powers are stirring. Crystallized energy pulses beneath sacred ground. And the veil between worlds grows dangerously thin.
Valerie KuriaKen has faced down occultists, rogue witches, and supernatural threats, but nothing has prepared her for this. The Ascendents are attempting their most audacious plot yet—merging our world with a nightmare realm where they'll reign supreme.
Partnered with FBI Agent Ben Carter, whose analytical mind balances her destructive magic, Valerie infiltrates an underground lair in Salem.
When a demon prince possesses a woman and guards power that tastes like lightning and smells of storm winds, Valerie faces an impossible choice: follow the ancient laws of witchcraft that forbid killing her own kind, or watch reality itself fracture into chaos.
As the longest day of the year approaches, Valerie must embrace both her duty as a Sheva witch and her growing feelings for Ben.
Can Valerie prevent the merging of worlds before the summer solstice sets our reality ablaze? Or will her growing connection to Ben blind her to the sacrifices required to save everything she holds dear?"

She must navigate a treacherous path between two worlds. Her coven questions her modern methods, sending watchdogs to evaluate her worth. Her growing feelings for FBI Agent Ben Carter only complicate matters further.
But Valerie has bigger problems.
The Ascendents are plotting something massive beneath the streets of Rome and Venice—something involving stolen body parts, demonic rituals, and a mysterious artifact called the Nexus Stone.
With her loyalty to the coven under scrutiny and time running out, Valerie must unravel the Ascendents' plot while proving her methods aren't just effective—they're essential. Because if she fails, the Ascendents won't just win. They'll remake the world in their image.
Will Valerie save humanity and find a way to bridge the divide between tradition and progress? Or will the pressure of serving two masters finally break her?"

"In Hack to the Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers, veteran information security professional Emily Crose delivers a deep dive into the history of the United States government's nuanced relationship with hacker culture and the role the latter has played in the former's domestic policy and geopolitics. In the book, you'll learn about significant events that have changed the way the hacking community has been perceived by the public, the state, and other hackers.
The author explains how the US government managed to weaponize a subculture widely seen as misanthropic and awkward into a lever of geopolitical power. You'll also discover how the release of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus changed the way hackers were seen and treated in the United States; how different government agencies, including the National Security Agency and NASA, treated—and were treated by—domestic hackers; and how hacking went from being an exclusive hobby for socially awkward nerds to a substantial lever of geopolitical power in just a few decades.
Perfect for anyone with an interest in hacking, tech, infosec, and geopolitics, Hack to the Future is a must-listen for those who seek to better their understanding of the history of hacking culture and how we got to where we are today."
