Nox’s pick of the week at The Quill & Candle Bookshop!

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo 🕷️

From the 1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo comes a spellbinding novel set in the Spanish Golden Age.

In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to improve the family’s social position.

What begins as simple amusement for the nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain’s king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England’s heretic queen and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king’s favor.

Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the lines between magic, science, and fraud are never certain. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition’s wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive, even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santángel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.

The Quill & Candle Bookshop Presents: A Book Signing Event featuring Ken Hastings!

Ken Hastings

Join us Saturday OCT. 17th to meet Ken and get a personalized signed copy of his novel All The Houses Went Dark ✒️

This is a slasher/thriller set in Florida circa 2005.

Dani Butler is a drug-addled drifter who, at thirty years old, is still targeting Jim, her Vietnam-vet father, stealing and pawning right under his nose to feed her chemical appetite. When Jim is admitted to a VA hospital in the final stages of lung cancer, Dani sees an irresistible opportunity-swipe his keys and ride out the incoming hurricane in the comfort of his abandoned house in Holy Hell, Florida. And maybe ransack the place for opioids while she’s at it.

Venturing out during the eye, Dani unwittingly rescues a serial killer’s captive from a rundown home on the outskirts of the neighborhood. The next twelve hours tell a story she’d never heard. What really happened in Jim’s final days in Vietnam that left a madman on a decades-long journey to settle a score.

About Author:
Born and raised in New Jersey. Molded and shaped in Florida. Married and fine-tuned in California. Ken is a twice-produced screenwriter and a retired disc jockey and pub trivia host, who recently decided to convert his dusty old spec scripts into novels. He now lives in Colorado with his wife, two sons, two Bengal cats and one uh-mazing mutt.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🔪🩸

Birdie’s pick of the week at The Quill & Candle Bookshop!

Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung 🐇 Translated by Anton Hur

A wildly original novel from a rising star of Korean literature—surreal, chilling fables that take on the patriarchy, capitalism, and the reign of big tech with absurdist humor and a (sometimes literal) bite.

From an author never before published in the United States, Cursed Bunny is unique and imaginative, blending horror, sci-fi, fairy tales, and speculative fiction into stories that defy categorization. By turns thought-provoking and stomach-turning, here monsters take the shapes of furry woodland creatures and danger lurks in unexpected corners of everyday apartment buildings. But in this unforgettable collection, translated by the acclaimed Anton Hur, Chung’s absurd, haunting universe could be our own.

“The Head” follows a woman haunted by her own bodily waste. “The Embodiment” takes us into a dystopian gynecology office where a pregnant woman is told that she must find a father for her baby or face horrific consequences. Another story follows a young monster, forced into underground fight rings without knowing his own power. The titular fable centers on a cursed lamp in the shape of a rabbit, fit for a child’s bedroom but for its sinister capabilities.

No two stories are alike, and readers will be torn whether to race through them or savor Chung’s wit and frenetic energy on every page. Cursed Bunny is a book that screams to be read late into the night and passed on to the nearest set of hands the very next day.

About Author:
Bora Chung has written three novels and three collections of short stories. She has an MA in Russian and East European area studies from Yale University and a PhD in Slavic literature from Indiana University. She currently teaches Russian language and literatuMore.
Cursed Bunny was shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize.
