>Cathedral of Necrophiliacs
The year is 1121. A newly appointed priest of a heretical Christian sect is shocked when he accidentally walks in on an obscene secret ritual performed in the crumbling catacombs under the cathedral—leading him, his spunky redheaded nymphet-turned-amatuer-Nancy Drew, and an aged female housekeeper down a globetrotting rabbit hole of ancient conspiracies, rituals, and secret societies.

>>18801171
>The Shape of Books to Come
In his first ever non-fiction book, legendary MacArthur Fellow and prize-winning author of The Road and Blood Meridian Cormac McCarthy explains his theory of 'recursive influence'—how authors build on the universal conversation of literature that has been going on for thousands of years, and why some authors (like James and Proust) don't deserve to join that conversation.

> I know how out of place the title sounds - but imagine how inappropriate it feels! There's no quite a niche for a widowed white male, no mould to fill, no archetype to follow or betray. I'm too young for the grampa type, too heartless for the mourner, don't care enough to be the unstoppable prowler. Perhaps I should just erase Sandy from the collective memory.
