1st printing. Story and art by Nate Powell. High in the Ozarks, a lovers dream becomes a parents nightmare in this gripping graphic novel from Nate Powell, the National Book Award–winning artist of the March trilogy. In this fresh paperback edition featuring a new cover and updated back matter, #1 New York Times bestselling cartoonist Nate Powell presents a haunting tale of intimacy, guilt, and collective amnesia. This work serves as the origin point for his multiple Eisner Award–nominated shared fictional universe, also featured in Fall Through and Diana. Available together for the first time, these three books retroactively redefine the course of this Ozark fairy tale. As the sun sets on the 1970s, the spirit of the Love Generation still lingers in one intentional community nestled deep in the Ozark Mountains. And after years without personal space or secrets of her own, single mother Haluska feels like shes losing her identity…When Haluska stumbles across a cave hidden away from the eyes of the commune, she and her best friends husband escape the impossible scrutiny by entangling themselves in an affair. When they're together, the whispers, rumors, and idealistic posturing that make up the fabric of their daily life melts away, and the two of them can be just themselves for a few stolen moments. But their convenient love nest hides a much deeper secret, and when their young sons Jacob and Shane stumble across their hiding place, they uncover something far more sinister than a forbidden tryst . . Haluska will need to confront both herself and the terrifying indifference of her own community to save the boys from a long-slumbering evil that has been calling to her from the beginning. Softcover, 288 pages, full color. Teen+ Cover price $19.99.

1st printing. Written by Shigeru Kayama. Translated with an Afterword by Jeffrey Angles. Godzilla emerged from the sea to devastate Tokyo in the now-classic 1954 film, produced by Toho Studios and directed by Ishiro Honda, creating a global sensation and launching one of the world's most successful movie and media franchises. Awakened and transformed by nuclear weapons testing, Godzilla serves as a terrifying metaphor for humanity's shortsighted destructiveness: this was the intent of Shigeru Kayama, the science fiction writer who drafted the 1954 original film and its first sequel and, in 1955, published these novellas. Kayama's two Godzilla novellas, both classics of Japanese young-adult science fiction, have never been available in English. This book finally provides English-speaking fans and critics the original texts with these first-ever English-language translations of GODZILLA and GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN.

By Michel Houellebecq. Introduction by Stephen King.

Best-selling French novelist Michel Houellebecq pays tribute to the master of horror, H. P. Lovecraft. Part biographical sketch, part pronouncement on existence and literature, the best-selling French novelist Michel Houellebecq's H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life, was published in France in 1991 and is the first non-fiction text ever published by the author.

Here, France's most famous contemporary author praises his prewar American alter ego's style, which couldn't be less like his own. With a foreword by Lovecraft admirer Stephen King, this eloquently translated edition is an insightful introduction to both Lovecraft's dark mythology and Houellebecq's deadpan prose.

Story and art by Jim Toomey.

Shermans Lagoon is an imaginary lagoon somewhere in the tropics, inhabited by a cast of sea creatures whose lives are curiously similar to our own. Through his comic strip, cartoonist Jim Toomey explores many of the issues that we face daily in our world on dry land. By putting them in a different context, he helps us laugh at ourselves. His characters attempt new business ventures, go on disastrous dates, try fad diets and read the latest best-selling books. But, they also have problems that are unique to fish. Should you bring shrimp to the holiday party? Will shrimp be there? Sherman, the main character, is a great white shark who is completely unaware of how intimidating his species can be. He gets pushed around by the other characters, namely: Hawthorne the hermit crab, Fillmore the sea turtle, and his wife, Megan, who is another great white shark, of course.
