(Takes place in the same universe as Legend of Exorcism.)Once, ancient China was brimming with magic...but three hundred years ago, the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth dried up in the Silence of All Magic.

A deliciously thrilling new novel about a mysterious threat that puts targets on the backs of a group of roommates, from the author behind the "darkly funny, hilariously twisty, and completely charming" (Jennifer Close, New York Times bestselling author) Swiped. Kirby Cornell needs a break--particularly from her crumbling apartment in a sleepy town that is only known for serial killer in the '90s, her dead-end job, her sleazy landlord, her sloppy housemates, and, most of all, the terrible thing they all did. Luckily, that hasn't caught up with her just yet. Until a new message in their old group chat pops up from ex-roommate Esme: "Everyone in the group chat will die." The threat isn't the most disconcerting part of this--it's the fact that Esme died a year ago. With his signature "plot twists and wicked" (Margarita Montimore, USA TODAY bestselling author) prose, L.M. Chilton proves that he is a wickedly entertaining author to look out for.

In Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Daredevil: Born Again, the comic’s titular hero has his life destroyed after his most menacing enemy learns his real identity. His attempts to rebuild his life and sanity result in one of the most gripping and impactful super hero storylines of all time. Released in 1986, the storyline is an extraordinary exploration of what happens when a hero’s identity is revealed, and his personal life completely annihilated. We see Daredevil reduced to the lowest depths in the character’s history, but we also follow his painstaking path toward redemption.This entry in MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Daredevil: Born Again’s gorgeous and unique artwork, the lasting impact of its story and art, and how it forever changed the ways super hero characters and their secret identities have functioned.

The Avengers was the comic book of the 1970s. From Civil Rights to Women’s Lib, battles for the soul of America became battles between super heroes. Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the all-star group of six super heroes in September 1963. From there, just three main writers chronicled Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in that most turbulent of decades: Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Jim Shooter, each with differing approaches. The Avengers quickly became the pivot around which the Marvel Universe turned. To look back through its issues is to get a crash course in ’70s pop culture. Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary run, Paul Cornell’s entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS series explores how the Mighty Avengers became icons during a time of immense change and upheaval.

I know because my fingers and toes, my ears, my mouth and nose, all tell me so.Neveah is blind, but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy each of the four wondrous seasons of the year.She knows it's winter when her boots go scruuunch in the snow and cold flakes land softly on her tongue.She knows spring has come by the smell of hyacinths, the bzzzz of a bee in her ear.Summer is a trip to the beach, where she can hear the crash of ocean waves and the keowww of seagulls overhead.

Soon the cycle of seasons will begin anew.In this poetic story with art by a two-time Caldecott Medalist, join Neveah as she uses her senses of touch, taste, hearing, and smell to vividly describe the changing seasons and the unique delig

Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five "breakthroughs" in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI systems can achieve--indeed, human brains still easily perform intellectual feats that we can't replicate in AI systems. How is it possible that AI can beat a grandmaster at chess but can't effectively load a dishwasher? As AI entrepreneur Max Bennett compellingly argues, finding the answer requires diving into the billion-yea

Discover how Mount Tambora's catastrophic eruption plunged the world into darkness, altering the global climate and inspiring the likes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This remarkable story of disaster and survival is brought to life in a thrilling new illustrated novel from the award-winning author of The Mona Lisa Vanishes. The world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock. When Mount Tambora, a volcano on the edge of the Indonesian archipelago, erupted in April 1815, it was the largest explosion in recorded history. The land around Indonesia was a hellscape of fire and smoke. In the months and years that followed, the fallout--a cloud of impossibly fine ash-- spread through the atmosphere. It killed harvests on the other side of the world. It turned farmers into beggars and their children into orphans. It turned sunsets into molten nightmares. That same year, eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley fled England with poet Percy Shelley. While sheltering from the
