Book Description
The Absence of Light is a dark prose novel written by 25-year-old J. Daniel Stone. The story involves two groups of friends--one group a metal band and the other a clan of ghost hunters--who clash after a night of rocking out in a seedy downtown club in NYC. With his fascinating ability for mapping out interesting characters, and a natural ability at setting a gloomy mood, Stone successfully takes his readers through the problems that everyday people face within the boondocks via a small Pennsylvania mining town dusted in anthracite, to the frightening throes of the ever-changing face of New York City with an authenticity that is rarely found in first novels. His words will resonate like a hangover long after you read them.

Book Description
A poignant memoir of loss, and an inspirational guide to healing after a loved one’s sudden death or suicide. When a loved one dies suddenly, at a young age, or by suicide, families and friends are often left in shock-riddled grief. This shock—and the stigmatized feelings that sometimes accompany such tragedies—can isolate the bereaved and stall their healing, even as they yearn to connect with others. Abiding Light is a four-generation testimony-rich resource for those grieving this kind of loss and for the communities that support them. It can be read alone or in a group, as it serves as a companion and fosters compassionate care and conversation through deep grief. Simply through reading the personal stories within Abiding Light, empathy and sympathy—given space and time—can seed courage and deeper connection through patience and conversation.

Book Description
An immediate and critically acclaimed bestseller in France, This Blinding Absence of Light is the latest work by internationally renowned author Tahar Ben Jelloun, the first North African winner of the Prix Goncourt and winner of the Prix Mahgreb. Crafting real life events into narrative fiction, Ben Jelloun reveals the horrific story of the desert concentration camps in which King Hassan II of Morocco held his political enemies in underground cells with no light and only enough food and water to keep them lingering on the edge of death. Working closely with one of the survivors, Ben Jelloun narrates the story in the simplest of language and delivers a shocking novel that explores both the limitlessness of inhumanity and the impossible endurance of the human will.

Book Description
“A multilayered thriller that races to an explosive conclusion.”—People Captain Marcus Graver, working out of the Houston P.D.’s Criminal Intelligence Division, has made a career of collecting other people’s secrets. But it takes a bullet to the brain of one of his own investigators to reveal the darkest secrets of all. Officially the death of Arthur Tisler is a suicide. But Graver’s seen the files of Tisler’s last case and he refuses to bury his questions with the corpse. His instincts tell him that Tisler was onto something big—big enough to cost the investigator his life. And the more Graver digs, the more he’s convinced that the trail of corruption leads back to his own command. Now he must do the most dangerous thing any cop can do: go outside the department. He must enter a shadowy labyrinth of lies and deception where he can trust no one, not even his closest friends and colleagues. And waiting at the center of the maze is a mysterious, sadistic genius, a pair of beautiful assassins, and a thread of clues that will lead to a dark rendezvous with the truth—and death. “Relentlessly paced and adroitly imagined . . . sure to win [David] Lindsey numerous new fans—and thoroughly satisfy his current ones.”—Publishers Weekly
