Is there a God? Do we have free will? Are there objective values? What distinguishes right actions from wrong actions? The text clearly explains the most important arguments about these things, and it does so a lot less boringly than most books written by professors.

Life doesn’t always give us easy answers. It gives us questions, doubts, setbacks, and moments that shake us awake. We fall. We get hurt. We search for meaning in the small places—conversations, memories, storms, quiet mornings, and the people we’ve loved and lost. The Nature Within Us is a book about those moments. Albert Alarcon writes with the voice of someone who isn’t pretending to have everything figured out.

For Moon Boy, adulthood is coming no matter what. Even if he spends most nights drinking forties in the cemetery with his band, even if he drops out of community college to pursue multiple women for different reasons, and even if he can still see the ghost house rise from the quarry at midnight, he can’t stop the inevitable. When his sister goes missing on opening night at Kip Creeker’s Trail of Terror, Moon Boy’s already overcomplicated life takes a frightening turn, and his grasp on reality starts to slip.

Eden Among Us is an intimate and soul-stirring tale of two spirits—Asai and Adham—whose connection was forged long before the world knew their names. Woven together in the celestial Hall of Becoming, their souls danced in mirrored rhythm upon the Loom, destined to one day find each other in the natural realm. But destiny does not unfold without testing. Love, to be remembered, must first be longed for.

Take a meander from places labeled normal to a world that clatters, slinks, and drips. Looks aren't everything and nothing is as it seems.

The Dark Reflections series is a shared world based on the art by Jeff Lee Johnson in which each author has contributed a single character to the telling of the tale behind the images.

In the ancient Albanian town of Sarandë, where sea winds carry secrets and old bunkers echo with forgotten wars, two unlikely heroes rise.

When a boy volunteers for a government experiment, he returns transformed: body accelerated, mind saturated with lifetimes of knowledge. On Earth, wolves terrorize neighborhoods, machines fuse with flesh, and the state whispers promises of immortality. In the vein of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, Boy in Space is a chilling dystopian vision — a story of innocence stripped away, of control disguised as progress, and of what happens when humanity itself becomes the experiment.
