Huis van gruwels is die skokverhaal van die sogenaamde “Springs-monster” wat op die wreedste manier denkbaar alles van sy gesin weggeneem het, maar ook ’n storie van hoop oor hoe ’n dapper jong vrou uiteindelik geluk en genesing vind.

Story
Kamphoer is die ware verhaal van ’n vrou wat gedurende die Anglo-Boereoorlog wreedaardig verkrag en vir die aasvoëls gegooi is. Met die hulp van ’n reeks weldoeners ontsnap sy aan die kloue van die dood en wy sy uiteindelik haar lewe aan die genesing van presies die soort trauma waaraan sy onderworpe was. En in die proses word sy teruggestamp in ’n bomkrater wat sy geglo het lank reeds toegegroei het en veilig bedek was. In Kamphoer word die weerbarstigheid van die menslike gees opgeweeg teen die ewe blywende invloed van trauma.

In die wilde nagte of bedags as die son bloed uit ’n klip wil trek en ’n mens se gedagtes koorsig maal - dan loop waarheid en verdigsel, geskiedenis en toekoms, lewe en dood deurmekaar op Toorberg, erfgrond van die Moolmans. Hiermee moet die magistraat rekening hou wanneer hy die dood kom ondersoek van klein Noag, ’n kind van die weemoed, wat nie heeltemal van dié aarde was nie.

’n Moord by die Kaapse Waterfront. Wat dalk skakel met geheimsinnige briewe wat geskorste luitenante Bennie Griessel en Vaughn Cupido ontvang het. Maar eers moet Bennie-hulle op Stellenbosch soek na ’n verdwene student, en die spoor vat van die eiendomsagent wat die kooptransaksie van Donkerdrif, korporatiewe swendelaar Jasper Boonstra se peperduur wynplaas, behartig het. En al hul ondersoeke het ’n gemene deler: die donkerste drif, gierigheid.

Mirre weet Marilyn is reg, maar ʼn Dreyer skei nie. En as sy hom aankla van huishoudelike geweld, sal hy nooit weer sy beroep as befaamde huweliksberader kan volg nie. Sy reputasie sal vernietig wees. En dít sal hy haar nooit vergewe nie. Buitendien, sy verstaan waar die ‘beast’ in haar andersins sjarmante man vandaan kom. Maar sy weet ook dat sy volgende keer dalk nie ʼn aanranding sal oorleef nie. Mirre gaan skuil by haar vriendin Corali op Vywerbaai, waar Boeta Naudé met sy vrou en drie seuns ook woon.

Tog het sy geglo sy sal iets kan uitwerk wat waarde toevoeg tot Frank en Debbie se lewe. Dit is egter die een upcycling-projek waarin sy jammerlik misluk het. Sy beland op Vywerbaai waar sy ʼn winkeltjie vir haar upcycle-produkte wil oopmaak. Die finansiële risiko's wat sy neem is enorm en teenspoed bly nie uit nie, maar sy bly vasberade - upcycle gaan sy haar lewe upcycle.

Teen die agtergrond van soutmyne en granietkoppe vertel Droomdelwers die verhaal van twee klein gemeenskappe aan die Weskus - Soutmansvlei en Vlaktevlei. Hier word die lewens van armes en rykes, van wit en bruin, ten nouste verweef. Hier loop uiteenlopende karakters rond, elk met sy eie storie. Soos oom Kêppies sê: “ Hy’s soesie see, soes ’n branner. Voorlat jy hom kan vasvat, sien jy net sy skymstriep oppie sand lê.”

Dit is Simone se annus horribilis. Op vier en veertig stap sy vir die tweede keer uit n huwelik, bankrot, werkloos, moedeloos, verbrysel. Al wat sy het om van vier en veertig jaar te wys, is n bedenklike verlede, n tienerseun wat skaars met haar praat, en die besef van mislukking en ontoereikendheid wat soos n meulsteen om haar nek hang. Al waarheen sy het om te gaan, is die kleinburgerlike dorp op die Oos-Vrystaatse platteland waar sy grootgeword het, waar haar konserwatiewe ma en konvensionele suster haar gedurig aan haar tekortkominge kan herinner. Rock bottom, dis waar sy is.

Niemand sal begryp dat Pauli verlief is op die verkeerde man nie. Veral aangesien sy so ’n verstandige man aan haar sy het. Niemand sal ooit weet hoe broos Teresa is nie. Want sy is hierdie hardekwas advokaat wat geen man nodig het nie.

Publisher's summary
Elf wrede moorde oor ’n tydperk van vier jaar ruk die gemeenskap van Krugersdorp en haal landwyd nuusopskrifte. Eindelik word al hierdie moorde verbind met Cecilia Steyn en haar kultusgroep, Electus per Deus (uitverkies deur God). Lede van die groep aanbid die grond waarop Cecilia loop en sal selfs vir haar moord pleeg. Die moordenaars is slim, gewone mense - ’n onderwyseres, ’n finansiële makelaar, ’n kind wat tussen die moorde deur steeds ses onderskeidings in matriek behaal en boonop keuring kry om medies te gaan studeer. Hul slagoffers het bloot ’n sake- afspraak nagekom, min wetend dat dít ’n afspraak met die dood was. Met behulp van onderhoude uit diegene in die binnekring, hofgetuienis en polisiedossiere oor ’n tydperk van vier jaar poog Marx om die publiek se vrae te antwoord en ’n blik te gee op die binnewerkinge van só ’n kultus.
Voorgelees deur Bouwer Bosch. Vervaardig deur Bouwer Bosch, Deon Meiring en Peach van Pletzen.

Story
In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

It became one of the oldest cold cases in Scottish history. Sandra lived just around the corner from Moira. She grew up hearing about the missing girl, whose memory haunted the town. But she never imagined that, one day, she would be the one trying to uncover what happened. Or that her search for answers would reveal secrets and lies so close to home.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Story
Fifteen million Americans a year are plagued with alcoholism. Five million of them are women. Many of them, like Caroline Knapp, started in their early teens and began to use alcohol as "liquid armor", a way to protect themselves against the difficult realities of life. In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
