OVERALL BESTSELLER
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

PAPERBACK FICTION
The Anomaly
by Hervé Le Tellier, translated from the French by Adriana Hunter
A fast, fun, and brain-tickling tale of a metaphysical event shared by a cast of relatable and compelling characters. Like LOST meets The Leftovers with a healthy dose of French existentialism.
