This gorgeous hardcover edition of Our Strange Duet features stunning sprayed edges, custom character endpapers, a foil-stamped case, and a ribbon!

She was never just the voice he shaped . . .

A rising soprano with a gift she is only just learning to embrace, Christine Daaé has moved through the glittering world of the Opera Populaire longing to find her purpose. Instead, she finds herself caught between two men who refuse to let her slip quietly into the chorus.

One is Raoul, her childhood friend turned devoted admirer, offering her a future filled with warmth, safety, and a love that feels like sunlight. The other is a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Opera House: The Phantom. His brilliance, obsession, and dangerous devotion to nurturing Christine’s talents ignites a dark and complicated passion in her heart.

As Christine’s star ascends, so does the tension between Raoul and the Phantom. She must decide who she is when the curtain falls—and what she’s willing to risk for the life she wants.

Set against the sweeping, romantic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, Our Strange Duet allows Christine Daaé to take center stage to tell her own story: fierce, emotional, and unforgettable.

Deluxe Edition

By Alice Hoffman
Publisher: Scribner
Release Date: September 8, 2026

From the Publisher: The brand-new series from the bestselling author of Practical Magic, following two brilliant young women in 1950s Cambridge, Massachusetts, as they become immersed in a mysterious secret group of witches at Radcliffe known as the Lilith Society.

Once upon a time, women were drowned in the river and the only witnesses were the crows in the trees. The Puritans blamed Eve for the sins of the world. That was when we began to meet in the name of Lilith, Adam’s first wife—banished for refusing to do as she was told.

We Fly Together…

By the 1950s, Cambridge, Massachusetts feels far removed from the legendary witch trials that marked its early days as a colony. Ava, a bright young woman from a small town in Maine, arrives for her first year at Radcliffe College. There, she meets Lauren, her opposite in every way—the wild and brazen daughter of a wealthy and well-established Cambridge family. But the two have more in common than they think. Both are recruited by the Lilith Society, a secret organization of witches at Radcliffe dating back to colonial times. As they learn more about their legacy, Ava and Lauren form a close bond that is put to the test as they learn to navigate their new power, friendship, and love.

While Radcliffe seems like a safe haven, the shadow of McCarthyism looms large, an ever-present threat to the flourishing creative and intellectual life in Cambridge. And as girls from the Lilith Society begin to go missing, Ava and Lauren realize the witch trials of the past may not be as deeply buried as they once believed.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion
Tie-in Novel
Hardcover | Kindle Edition | Audiobook
Written by T. Kingfisher; Audiobook narrator: Neil Newbon
Publisher: Random House Worlds; Random House Audio (Audiobook)
Release Date: September 29, 2026

From the Publisher: The roguish charlatan Astarion will free himself from a centuries-long fate of servitude or die (a second time) trying—in this decadently dark fantasy adventure by award-winning author T. Kingfisher.

You’re too pretty to die.

Astarion Ancunin was supposed to be a magistrate, not a vampire spawn. He was supposed to serve the law, not the vicious vampire lord Cazador Szarr. And he was supposed to drink fine wine, not rat blood. Alas—the city of Baldur’s Gate cares little for what’s supposed to happen.

Though he has been powerless to resist his master’s bidding, haunting the nighttime streets to fetch warm blood, Astarion has never surrendered his hope. One day, this nightmare must end. He just has to find out how.

When the vampire lord announces a twisted competition for his favor, an opportunity presents itself in the form of a rare prize . . . and an unlikely alliance. The blood of a dead god is buried deep beneath Baldur’s Gate, and, to get it, Astarion will need the help of a handsome Aasimar paladin named Hahn den Suriel.

There are just a few problems. Astarion is not supposed to trust his fellow spawn. He’s not supposed to go out into the city for his own ends rather than the vampire lord’s. And he’s certainly not supposed to strike a deal with a stranger whose golden eyes can snare even a blackened, undead heart.

But the city of Baldur’s Gate cares little for what’s supposed to happen.

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”

Sense and Sensibility
Movie Tie-In Edition (Movie Poster)
Paperback
By Jane Austen
Publisher: Penguin Books
Release Date: September 29, 2026
Movie Release Date: October 16, 2026

From the Publisher: Jane Austen’s timeless tale of sisters navigating love and loss—the inspiration for the new major motion picture starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles.

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor’s warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. Austen’s classic wit and timeless themes that have enamored generations of readers will once again make their way to the big screen in a fresh film adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People, Where the Crawdads Sing) and Esmé Creed-Miles.

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape. One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic…

East Of Eden
Netflix Miniseries Tie-In Edition
Netflix Tie-In Paperback | Paperback (Penguin Classics Edition) | Kindle Edition | Audiobook
By John Steinbeck
Publisher: Penguin Books
Release date: September 15, 2026 (Netflix Tie-In Edition)
Miniseries Release Date: Fall 2026 on Netflix

From the Publisher: The masterpiece of Steinbeck’s later years—at once a family saga and a modern retelling of the Book of Genesis—now a Netflix limited series, written and executive produced by Zoe Kazan, starring Florence Pugh

In his journal, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck called East of Eden “the first book,” and indeed it has the primordial power and simplicity of myth. Set in the rich farmland of California’s Salinas Valley, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families—the Trasks and the Hamiltons—whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here is a work in which Steinbeck created his most mesmerizing characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity, the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love’s absence. Adapted for the 1955 film directed by Elia Kazan introducing James Dean and read by thousands as the book that brought Oprah’s Book Club back, East of Eden has remained a touchstone of American literature for over half a century and will soon be adapted into a Netflix limited series, written and executive produced by Zoe Kazan, starring Florence Pugh.

Within the pages you’ll visit the village’s graveyard where Irving himself is buried and explore all the present-day spookiness of one of the strangest towns in the country.

Blending cultural criticism and behind-the-scenes reporting, Ocker uncovers the tensions between tourism and tradition, profit and preservation, fiction and fact.

A must-read for anyone who loves ghost stories, Halloween, or small-town drama, Ocker’s new book does for Sleepy Hollow, New York, what his A Season with the Witch did for Salem, Massachusetts.

Star Trek: The Original Voyages: A Visual History
Official Star Trek Licensed
Hardcover | Kindle Edition
By Kyle Newman and Jeff Bond; Foreword by William Shatner
Publisher: Ten Speed Press
Release Date: November 10, 2026

From the Publisher: Boldly celebrate 60 years of Star Trek™ with this official visual history of the original series, documenting how its iconic characters and storylines reshaped the science fiction genre.

It began as a “five-year mission,” but for sixty years Star Trek has captivated the world. When the original Star Trek series burst onto the screen in 1966, few could have anticipated the enduring legacy it would create. Although it lasted just three seasons and 79 episodes, Star Trek left an indelible mark on popular culture, and it soon spawned an animated television series, a blockbuster major motion picture franchise, and for its most dedicated fans, a way of life.

The story of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew—James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan), Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig), and Hikaru Sulu (George Takei)—as well as the behind-the-scenes story of its creators, The Great Bird of the Galaxy Gene Roddenberry and his many collaborators, is extraordinary.

The story of the brand itself is every bit as remarkable and, in many ways, even stranger than the fiction. Featuring hundreds of quintessential and rarely seen images, Star Trek: The Original Voyages: A Visual History is a cultural history of and tribute to the brand’s sixty-year journey through television, film, novels, comic books, video games, merchandise, and more.

Timed for Star Trek’s 60-year anniversary, Star Trek: The Original Voyages: A Visual History will be a must-have for every fan: a document of its impact on pop culture and commemoration of how Star Trek’s original cast have touched our lives and changed our culture. New fans will discover a comprehensive history of original-cast Star Trek (from 1966 through 1991), and longtime fans will cherish fresh insights from original interviews and previously unpublished images.
