Dante's Inferno
A faithful yet totally original contemporary spin on a classic, Dante's Inferno as interpreted by acclaimed artist Sandow Birk and writer Marcus Sanders is a journey through a Hell that bears an eerie semblance to our own world. Birk, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as one of "realism's edgier, more visionary painters," offers extraordinarily nuanced and vivid illustrations inspired by Gustave Dore's famous engravings. This modern interpretation depicts an infernal landscape infested with mini-malls, fast food restaurants, ATMs, and other urban fixtures, and a text that cleverly incorporates urban slang and references to modern events and people (as Dante did in his own time). Previously published in a deluxe, fine-press edition to wide praise, and accompanied by national exhibitions, this striking paperback edition of Dante's Inferno is a genuinely provocative and insightful adaptation for a new generation of readers.

Lord of the Flies
by William Golding
Golding’s iconic 1954 novel, now with a new foreword by Lois Lowry, remains one of the greatest books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of any age. This edition includes a new Suggestions for Further Reading by Jennifer Buehler. At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.

Kolak of the Werebeasts
by Adam Pfeffer
"The attendants looked down and could see his face thicken, broaden to a wide oval, then almost melt away before their eyes. They watched the continual swift distortions with rapt trepidation, and then noticed his clothes were stretching, bulging at the seams and then splitting into ragged shreds of cloth. His eyes, meanwhile, had turned a glistening yellow, and fangs began to emerge from the corners of his mouth." The terror that grips Roger Kolak is only part of this bone-chilling tale that is both centuries old and eternally new. The nightmarish world of the werebeast is one of unspoken horrors and shocking transformations. A frightening story of good and evil and the fear that man's true bestial nature lurks within his soul, Kolak of the Werebeasts is a story of our time that reaches out to the imagination of centuries past.
