Duck Island / by Weiner, Steve,author.;
Duck Island updates the story of the prodigal son, returning, in the aftermath of the Vietnam war, to the midwestern American town where he grew up. In Steve Weiner's retelling, the father is no longer alive, and his ghost is unforgiving. After failing to rekindle an old flame, Cal Bedrick meets a nice young woman from a good family who falls hard for him. Their whirlwind courtship and precipitous marriage fill all around them with doubt. Cal and Frannie's ill-starred romance is set in a fictionalized Wausau, Wisconsin, struggling with the fallout of the recently concluded war. Reminiscent of a David Lynch film, Duck Island vividly contrasts a society whose liberal surface struggles to conceal a deeply troubled psyche.

Island witch / by Jayatissa, Amanda,author.;
"Being the daughter of the village Capuwa, or demon-priest, Amara is used to keeping mostly to herself. Influenced by the new religious practices brought in by the British Colonizers, the villagers who once respected her father's craft have turned on the family. Yet, they all still seem to call on him whenever supernatural disturbances arise. Now someone-or something-is viciously seizing upon men in the jungle. But instead of enlisting Amara's father's help, the villages have accused him of carrying out the attacks himself. As she tries to clear her father's name, Amara finds herself haunted by dreams that eerily predict the dark forces on her island. And she can't shake the feeling that it's all connected to the night she was recovering from a strange illness, and woke up, scared and confused, to hear her mother's frantic cries: No one can find out what happened. Lush, otherworldly, and recalling horror classics like Carrie and The Exorcist, Island Witch is a deliciously creepy and darkly feminist tale about the horrors of moral panic, the violent space between girlhood and adulthood, and what happens when female rage is finally unleashed."--
