Novelization of the Film TEN
Ten women find themselves in a vacant mansion on Spektor Island in December, 1972. Each believes she’s traveled to the house on business, but they all agree that something seems strange. For one thing, the entire house is full of pictures and statues of pigs.
The Spark Singer
Jade Sylvan’s poems are ornaments to holidays that don’t exist yet. Something with candles. Our first instinct is to treat them with extreme care, but not out of fragility, just the understanding that the sacred has occurred. Magic. Too much of the world fit into this small ritual.” — Brian Ellis, author of Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom
Backstage at the Caribou
This is the story of Michelle, a twenty-three-year-old failed ballerina-cum-stripper, and Samantha, the magnetic vampiric woman who draws her into the bizarre world of The Caribou, where appearance is everything and no one is who they appear to be.
