We still thrill to the story of the Trojan War, but the epic battles of the Irish Tain Bo Cuailgne are known only to a few. In this book, for the first time, Philip Freeman brings together the best stories of Celtic mythology. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Most people have heard of the Celts-the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. “Wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty….A Valentine from hell.” The Woman In Black is both a brilliant exercise in atmosphere and controlled horror and a delicious spine-tingler-proof positive that this neglected genre, the ghost story, isn't dead after all. The routine formalities he anticipates give way to a tumble of events and secrets more sinister and terrifying than any nightmare: the rocking chair in the deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child's scream in the fog, and most dreadfully-and for Kipps most tragically- The Woman In Black. Set on the obligatory English moor, on an isolated causeway, the story has as its hero Arthur Kipps, an up-and-coming young solicitor who has come north from London to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of Mrs. What real reader does not yearn, somewhere in the recesses of his or her heart, for a really literate, first-class thriller-one that chills the body, but warms the soul with plot, perception, and language at once astute and vivid?

The Mothers meets An American Marriage in this dazzling debut novel about mothers and daughters, identity and family, and how the relationships that sustain you can also be the ones that consume you. A great, dense, disturbing story, wonderfully told." - Cosmopolitan "The great pleasure of the novel is the wonderful complexity and the remarkable skill with which this first novelist spins the tale. The Secret History is a wonderfully beguiling book, a journey backward to the fierce and heady friendships of our school days, when all of us believed in our power to conjure up divinity and to be forgiven any sin." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "A long tale of friendship, arrogance, and murder knit together with the finesse that many writers will never have. Her beautiful language, intricate plotting, fascinating characters, and intellectual energy make her debut by far the most interesting work yet from her generation." - The Boston Globe "Tartt's voice is unlike that of any of her contemporaries. As stony and chilling as any Greek tragedian ever plumbed." - New York Newsday The Secret History combines a bit of both-the unmistakable whiff of evil from William Golding's classic and the mad recklessness of priviledged youth from Bret Easton Ellis's novel of the '80s.

Because, when you truly think about it, the idea of a superman in real life is horrifying. Like these disasters, literature cannot ignore the destruction and death caused just off-page when superheroes and supervillains clash. Terrorist attacks, never ending school shootings, and plagues were out childhood. There are generations of people today-like millennials and gen Z-who have been raised on tragedy and destruction. We need creators to consider the people in those buildings. Readers and consumers of superhero fiction are not content with just watching Superman demolish buildings in order to stop the latest villain’s world-ending plot. We have seen this trend in both comic books and film, where a certain practicality has been applied to thinking about superheroes and their effects on the world. A literary and creative time period where superheroes cannot be taken at face value anymore, where the implications of people with extraordinary powers must be considered and no longer ignored. In the world of comic books, and superheroes in particular, we currently find ourselves the Modern Age. We are long passed the silver and bronze ages as well. This is no longer the Golden Age of Superheroes. |
