Whistle-blower investigative journalist George Maynard has been killed in his St. Augustine home, his body so badly burned the morgue is needed to verify his identity. Paranormal investigator Shelly Mahoney has been transferred to a special unit to help law enforcement. Off the books, the unit is called the Krewe of Hunters and deals with "strange" cases. At the murder scene with federal agent Grant Markham, Shelly makes an odd discovery: a stone etched with what appears to be a curse that invokes flames. If Shelly can use her ability to summon the dead providing they have remained behind she may unearth what happened. Grant, too, has an unique ability. By holding the hand of the recently deceased, he can see what has happened to them. Yet in this case, neither of their gifts is of any help. As they set out to question those who might have had a motive, they also study ancient "curse tablets" often used in the Greco-Roman world to cause death or warfare. What ensues is a shocking discovery by the medical examiner and a search that takes the team to Italy where a similar murder may reveal the creators of the mystical tablets made deadly with a little human assistance. But soon, the danger is closer than ever because the target is Shelly.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1822676</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1822676</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Graham, Heather]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1822676037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fossil Feud]]></title><description><![CDATA[The hunt for fossils--and love--is on in this steamy, STEMinist romance about two opposing paleontologists who join forces to prevent a fraudulent dinosaur discovery, but accidentally dig up feelings for each other along the way.Renegade paleontologist Ripley Adams is this close to digging up a fossil treasure and vindication.

At Igor’s suggestion, the three pairs come to an uneasy agreement to cohabitate in Ravenwald, lest they attract the suspicion of the nearby village.

Till now he's awoken in a singular body: but this time he finds himself split into six different incarnations, each with a unique look and ability. Recognizing this for the disaster that it is, one of the incarnations tasks Tesla a joker with ace powers to gather the remaining five versions before sleep claims them again and leaves Croyd permanently fractured. What follows is a journey through Croyd's long and colourful life, through the lens of some who have encountered the world's most unusual Wild Carder.

It captures the first image of a strange new animal. Low to the ground, about the size of a badger, flat face, long trunk-like nose. Suddenly these 'mimmoths' are as common as foxes or dogs. And no one knows where they've come from. As Alderman negotiates the territory of grief a place with its own logic and rhythms the mimmoths spread. From the UK east and west, to the United States, to Russia, to India. They seem harmless, but oddly intelligent. They cannot be captured, they will not take food from humans, they have their own purposes. Alderman cannot shake the feeling that she has a particular connection to the creatures. Or is she just succumbing to 'mimmoth psychosis'? As the impact of the mimmoths increases, she is pulled into the cross currents of conspiracy theories and global power struggles. Have her deeply personal forms of mourning lent recent events a surreal air, or is our reality changing drastically and irrevocably?]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1833156</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1833156</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alderman, Naomi, 1974-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1833156037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ant-man: Ant-ihversary]]></title><description><![CDATA[Collects Ant-Man (2022) #1-4 and material from Tales To Astonish (1959) #37 and #43.

When a desperate mother asks for help locating her artist daughter, Louise initially refuses to keep her hard-won but fragile peace intact. But the woman comes with a letter of introduction from an old friend in Harlem, and Louise realizes she has no choice but to do what she can to find the missing young woman. The woman’s daughter, Iris Wright, is part of an elite social circle. Louise soon finds herself drawn into a world of privilege and ice-cold ambition—a young group of artists who will do anything to get ahead—but would they murder one of their own? With the help of some friends from home, Louise must untangle a web of lies, jealousy, and betrayal to find out what really happened to Iris while fighting to keep her new life from crashing down around her.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1845600</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1845600</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Afia, Nekesa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1845600037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Canticle for Leibowitz]]></title><description><![CDATA[In a nightmarish, ruined world, slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in darkness, the infantile rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From here the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836964</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836964</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Miller, Walter M., 1923-1996]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1960 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1836964037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Two of Us at the End of the World]]></title><description><![CDATA[What if one person was your whole world? In the overgrown ruins of a world almost empty of people, the only person Mouse has ever known is Cat, the brave girl who carried him inland, away from the sickness that came from the sea. When strangers arrive with a choice to be made, nothing will ever be the same. Almost two hundred years earlier, a couple are falling in love as the world is dying out. When they discover they are two of the few people still able to have a child, so do the authorities. They may be separated from Mouse and Cat by an insurmountable gulf of time, but some truths remain: family comes in all shapes and sizes, so does love. And even at the end of the world, hope dies last.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1830002</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1830002</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fletcher, Charlie, 1960-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1830002037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Jewel and the Comet]]></title><description><![CDATA[Glenn is a normal graduate student (aside from his kinks and genderfluidity), living a normal life with his normal girlfriend, Vivy (a spy for an interdimensional agency with her own kinks). When Vivy is called away on a scouting trip to stop a rogue comet, Glenn finds himself pulled from his normal life into an adventure of his own, navigating the multiverse with only a snarky starship as his guide.
