ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR SO FAR!

"Ordinary Monsters is a towering achievement: a dazzling mountain of wild invention, Dickensian eccentrics, supernatural horrors, and gripping suspense. Be warned... once you step into this penny dreadful to end all penny dreadfuls, you'll never want to leave." —Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman and Heart-Shaped Box
Charlie Ovid, despite surviving a brutal childhood in Mississippi, doesn't have a scar on him. His body heals itself, whether he wants it to or not. Marlowe, a foundling from a railway freight car, shines with a strange bluish light. He can melt or mend flesh. When Alice Quicke, a jaded detective with her own troubled past, is recruited to escort them to safety, all three begin a journey into the nature of difference and belonging, and the shadowy edges of the monstrous. What follows is a story of wonder and betrayal, from the gaslit streets of London, and the wooden theaters of Meiji-era Tokyo, to an eerie estate outside Edinburgh where other children with gifts—like Komako, a witch-child and twister of dust, and Ribs, a girl who cloaks herself in invisibility—are forced to combat the forces that threaten their safety. There, the world of the dead and the world of the living threaten to collide. With this new found family, Komako, Marlowe, Charlie, Ribs, and the rest of the Talents discover the truth about their abilities. And as secrets within the Institute unfurl, a new question arises: What truly defines a monster? Riveting in its scope, exquisitely written, Ordinary Monsters presents a catastrophic vision of the Victorian world—and of the gifted, broken children who must save it. |

Even as we move out of the busy holiday shopping season, and slow down a bit, we are, as a matter of survival, still operated by a single staff member. If you try calling during the hours above, but no one answers, we're simply working with someone who's in the store or on the other line. Please wait ten minutes and try again. We strive to give experienced and personal attention to everyone who visits us.
Thank you, so much, for your ongoing support and patience!

Looking for a quiet, comfortable meeting space for your book club? There might be distractions at home, but there aren't any in this room! Let us do the work so you can enjoy your time together. Order and purchase your selections through our store and use our Reading Room, with our compliments! We'll keep things organized so your members can pick up the following month's books at the current month's meeting, and save you a special trip to pick it up later in the month!

Looking for an inexpensive night out of the house? Meet a couple friends at The Printed Garden for a friendly (or not-so-friendly) board game, and enjoy one of our complimentary hot beverages. We also have chess, checkers, Monopoly, Jenga, and a couple decks of cards - or feel free to pack your own game in if you'd like! If you've come by yourself to study, just let us know and we'll turn the music down or off
