A dance to the death. A girl who's just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that's constantly changing--and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place--within the frame of a particular house that isn't bound by the laws of time and space.
Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies like His Hideous Heart and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflix's ground-breaking adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House, this YA speculative fiction anthology explores how the permanence of a home can become a space of transition and change for both the inhabitants and the creatures who haunt them. Each story in the anthology will focus on a different room in the house and feature unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether it's a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, there's bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.
Quinn Marcelo wouldn't necessarily win the award for Most Popular Person at her school, but unbeknownst to her peers, Quinn entertains them at every football, basketball, and baseball game--as Peaches the Parrot, her high school's God-like mascot.
When someone sabotages the legendary Peaches costume at the Homecoming Game, Quinn's left unmasked and humiliated. After all, Peaches' identity was a closely guarded secret and a point of pride for nearly everyone at Olivia Newton-John High. As if that wasn't enough, Little Peaches, a new, real parrot that the PTA got to enhance the Peaches Experience, is kidnapped right after Quinn's unmasking. Determined to uncover the culprit, Quinn publicly unravels the lives of everyone in her path--including Tessa Banks, the most popular girl in school--in a no-holds-barred conspiracy-fueled investigation. But when a killer starts going after the people implicated in Quinn's mascot disaster, she must race to uncover the truth behind her feathery faux-pas--before the truth kills her, too.
Step aboard Tomorrow's Train, an evocative novella by Alex Brown that explores profound questions of existence: What happens after we die? How do our choices shape our eternity? Blending speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy, this thought-provoking tale takes readers on a journey beyond life's veil into a mysterious afterlife.
Maddison Mackenzie awakens in a sterile realm, surrounded by recently departed souls. They are confronted by an enigmatic figure offering a choice that will define their eternal fate. Each soul can choose to work as an unseen guardian angel, retire to relive their best or worst memories, or try to purchase a ticket on tomorrow's train-a mysterious ride to an unknown destination.
As Maddison reflects on her life's joys and regrets, she realizes that securing a ticket for the train isn't simple. It requires more than the desire to move on-it demands a life of redemption and service. But does she qualify? And what lies ahead for those who board the train?
With richly imagined settings and intriguing characters, Tomorrow's Train delves into themes of morality, redemption, and the choices we make in life and beyond. Readers join Maddison as she encounters souls sharing stories of loss, hope, and longing, while navigating the blurred lines between duty, destiny, and the unknown.
Perfect for fans of speculative fiction and philosophical novels, Tomorrow's Train offers a poignant exploration of the afterlife and the legacies we leave behind. This novella will captivate readers with its introspective storytelling and complex moral dilemmas. Whether you're a seasoned science fiction reader or new to the genre, Alex Brown's novella offers a fresh and immersive narrative that is as reflective as it is imaginative.

Hate speech law can be found throughout the world. But it is also the subject of numerous principled arguments, both for and against. These principles invoke a host of morally relevant features (e.g., liberty, health, autonomy, security, non-subordination, the absence of oppression, human dignity, the discovery of truth, the acquisition of knowledge, self-realization, human excellence, civic dignity, cultural diversity and choice, recognition of cultural identity, intercultural dialogue, participation in democratic self-government, being subject only to legitimate rule) and practical considerations (e.g., efficacy, the least restrictive alternative, chilling effects). The book develops and then critically examines these various principled arguments. It also attempts to de-homogenize hate speech law into different clusters of laws/regulations/codes that constrain uses of hate speech, so as to facilitate a more nuanced examination of the principled arguments. Finally, it argues that it is morally fitting for judicial and legislative judgments about the overall warrant of hate speech law to reflect principled compromise. Principled compromise is characterized not merely by compromise over matters of principled concern but also by compromise which is itself governed by ideals of moral duty or civic virtue (e.g., reciprocity, equality, and mutual respect).
