#1 bestselling science writer for kids Chris Ferrie is back with the bullsh*t…but this time instead of taking down all the pseudoscience related to quantum physics, he’s examining today’s more suspect mind/body/spirit fads, including astrology, cosmic energy, aliens, young earth theories, and other “space” themes.

Another sweary science book from Chris Ferrie combines two popular trends in books and debunks the junk “science” that has permeated our society in the form of astrology and other fads. Truly hilarious and witty content elevates this book from merely a joke or gift item to a truly useful and enjoyable book to keep on your shelf long-term.

For as long as Adam can remember, the legends passed down from his world-traveling grandfather have called him to a crumbling manor in the Highlands. His closest friend Nicola longs for the same adventure, as well as for Adam himself. She’ll follow him just about anywhere – even to the remote wilds of Scotland – if it pushes the pair to surrender to their shared attraction.

But when a storm strikes and strands them unexpectedly, Adam and Nicola find themselves at the mercy of the eccentric owner of the infamous house, Eileen, as well as her brooding groundskeeper, Finley.

Trapped by the weather, and bound by ancient faery magic, Nicola and Adam get more than they bargained for as they become entangled in Eileen and Finley’s world of mind games, deceit and forbidden desire. As ancestral sins are unearthed, Adam and Nicola will have to reckon with the spell Eileen and Finley have cast over them – and whether or not they even want to be free.

S.T. Gibson is the British Fantasy Award-nominated and Goodreads Choice-nominated author of the USA Today bestseller Evocation and Sunday Times bestseller A Dowry Of Blood and She holds a Bachelor’s in Creative Writing from UNC and Masters of Theological Studies from Princeton Seminary.

You used to be a person. A real one—with hobbies, expendable income, and sex that was at least semi-annual. But then you had kids, and the more you became a parent, the less you became yourself. You love your children deeply, but most days you feel like nothing more than their service animal. That ends today (. . . just the second part. You can still love your kids.)

WOW, YOU LOOK TERRIBLE! is a beacon of hope to beleaguered parents across the globe. The revolutionary child-rearing techniques within will teach you how to:

• Save money on soccer by having your child join a cult
• Throw your kid’s entire birthday party in 17 minutes flat
• Get shredded abs while pulling your toddler out of a bounce house
• Rid your life of the Easter Bunny once and for all
• And much, much more

With illustrations, personal stories from the author, and a foreword by four-time father and beloved late night scamp Jimmy Kimmel, this book will take you down the righteous path of parenting less and living more.

Danny Ricker is a father, husband, author, and Emmy-nominated writer-producer from Burbank, California. He has written for the Oscars, the Primetime Emmys, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and currently serves as co-head writer and co-executive producer at Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he has worked since he was a small baby.
