A na ve mermaid, a necklace storing the last of her lifeforce, and a ghoul willing to kill for her secrets. Mermaids are forever young and beautiful - until they run out of lifeforce. To survive, they must kill. Every. Single. Year. They're not gentle Creatures of legend. They're both deadly and vulnerable. And they were once human, too. Grace Harpeden, the youngest of all mermaids, has less than a day to live unless she can find a new victim to drown, and it tears at her soul. Despite the risks to her own life, Grace balks while trying to drown a young boy. In doing so, she loses her most precious item - the necklace storing the last of her lifeforce. If she can't get it back and soon, she'll die at sunset. After discovering the human who found it, Grace makes a deal to get it back - drawing the attention of a power-hungry ghoul who covets Grace's ability to store lifeforce. It's an ability almost any Creature would kill for. Grace isn't just fighting for her own life, but for everyone she cares about, human and mermaid alike. If she fails to bury her secret, mermaids will face persecution, slavery, and a war without end. That's not something Grace will tolerate. And she'll risk her own life to prevent it. If you love fast-paced action-packed urban fantasy full of twists and turns, Epicentre has everything you need to begin your new adventure. Discover just how far Grace will go to protect the people she cares about, and just how deadly a threatened mermaid can be.

To master story you have to master both character and structure. Illustrated with examples from successful stories across a range of genres and decades, Character & Structure: An Unholy Alliance helps you find and build your story ideas into the engaging narrative your audience expects.

Since the publication of The Savage Detectives in 2007, the work of Roberto Bolano (1953-2003) has achieved an acclaim rarely enjoyed by literature in translation. Chris Andrews, a leading translator of Bolano's work into English, explores the singular achievements of the author's oeuvre, engaging with its distinct style and key thematic concerns, incorporating his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction. Andrews provides new readings and interpretations of Bolano's novels, including 2666, The Savage Detectives, and By Night in Chile, while at the same time examining the ideas and narrative strategies that unify his work. He begins with a consideration of the reception of Bolano's fiction in English translation, examining the reasons behind its popularity. Subsequent chapters explore aspects of Bolano's fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. Bolano emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective "fiction-making system," a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness. Written in a clear and engaging style, Roberto Bolano's Fiction offers an invaluable understanding of one of the most important authors of the last thirty years.
