Coming Winter 2026-2027:
Horror welcomes its next great King with the debut novel from King Donovan: DECEIVED (Book One of THE DISPOSSESSED). The gruesome death of a child shatters the resilient folks of a rugged, isolated community deep in the Arkansas Ozarks. Is this just another backwoods tragedy... or the onslaught of a supernatural evil that can inhabit even your most cherished loved ones? Can prodigal local son Adam Stewart save the people and the place he once abandoned now that he knows how much it means to him? King Donovan's spectacular debut DECEIVED is Southern Gothic horror rendered with raw emotional realism and cinematic flair.
At South Bank High, nobody gets through adolescence without a little drama. Anna Penn's hot new YA series resets the classic plays of William Shakespeare at a modern American high school, with a twist: now the bit players take center stage. Coming in September 2026: SOUTH BANK HIGH: HIGH DRAMA (inspired by A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM). The put upon Drama Club freshman (formerly the lowly Mechanicals) revolt against the heirarchy and steal the spotlight at South Bank High's annual Forest Fest as the study body eagerly anticipates B.M.O.C. Theo's 'promposal' to "Most Popular" Polly.
Susannah Logan's COLUMBIA RISING series follows timid, newly-orphaned 14-year-old Carolina Columbia Miller from her loyalist uncle's home in 1765 Boston, to a battle-scarred, self-reliant woman of 29 at the series’ conclusion. Against a backdrop of rebellion, espionage, and romance, Columbia joins the fight for American independence from British Rule, risking her only remaining family, her one true love, and even her life for the good the cause. Read the epic story that advance readers are comparing to the books Kristin Hannah and Margaret Mitchell.
