Listen to your sister : a novel / by Viel, Neena,author.;
"For fans of Jordan Peele's films, Stranger Things, and The Other Black Girl, Listen To Your Sister is a laugh-out-loud, deeply terrifying, and big-hearted speculative horror novel from electrifying debut talent Neena Viel. Twenty-five year old Calla Williams is struggling since becoming guardian to her brother, Jamie. Calla is overwhelmed and tired of being the one who makes sacrifices to keep the family together. Jamie, full of good-natured sixteen-year-old recklessness, is usually off fighting for what matters to him or getting into mischief, often at the same time. Dre, their brother, promised he would help raise Jamie -- but now the ink is dry on the paperwork and in classic middle-child fashion, he's off doing his own thing. And through it all, The Nightmare never stops haunting Calla: recurring images of her brothers dying that she is powerless to stop. When Jamie's actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run. Taking refuge in a remote cabin that looks like it belongs on a slasher movie poster rather than an AirBNB, the siblings now face a new threat where their lives -- and reality -- hang in the balance. Their sister always warned them about her nightmares. They really should have listened."--

What feasts at night / by Kingfisher, T.,author.;
"The follow-up to T. Kingfisher's bestselling gothic novella, What Moves the Dead. Retired soldier, Alex Easton, returns in a horrifying new adventure. After their terrifying ordeal at the Usher manor, Alex Easton feels as if they just survived another war.

In theory, one can find relaxation in even the coldest and dampest of Gallacian autumns, but when Easton arrives, they find the caretaker dead, the lodge in disarray, and the grounds troubled by a strange, uncanny silence. The villagers whisper that a breath-stealing monster from folklore has taken up residence in Easton's home. Easton knows better than to put too much stock in local superstitions, but they can tell that something is not quite right in their home ... or in their dreams"--

The making of the October Crisis : Canada's long nightmare of terrorism at the hands of the FLQ / by Jenish, D'Arcy,1952-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The first bombs exploded in Montreal in the spring of 1963, and over the next seven years there were hundreds more. There were dozens of bank robberies, six murders and, in October 1970, came the kidnappings of a British diplomat and a Quebec cabinet minister. The perpetrators were members of the Front de Liberation du Quebec, dedicated to establishing a sovereign and socialist Quebec. Half a century on, we should have reached some clear understanding of what led to the October Crisis. But no--too much attention has been paid to the Crisis and not enough to the years preceding it. And most of those who have written about the FLQ have been nationalists, sovereigntists or former terrorists. They tell us that the authorities should have negotiated with the kidnappers. They contend that Jean Drapeau's administration and the governments of Robert Bourassa and Pierre Trudeau created the October Crisis, by invoking the War Measures Act and by putting soldiers on the streets and allowing the police to detain nearly 500 people without warrants. Using new research and interviews, D'Arcy Jenish tells for the first time the complete story--starting from the spring of 1963. This gripping narrative by a veteran journalist and master storyteller will change forever the way we view this dark chapter in Canadian history."--

Where they wait : a novel / by Carson, Scott,1982-author.;
"Recently laid-off from his newspaper and desperate for work, war correspondent Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity. It's easy money, and a chance to return to his hometown for his first visit in years. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas--relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the "Sleep Songs." A woman's hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing--it's disturbing, really, more of a warning than a relaxation--but it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows. So do nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance--or are they threats? And soon her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him"--
