Rise of the wrecking crew

£7.99

Facing old friends and new foes, Malika ‘Boog’ Wilson and the Squad take their final stand against the undead. San Antonio is on lockdown, taken over by the new hive. No one can deny that vampires are back now, but the Vanquishers come to their own painful realisation when they learn that an old friend is behind the vampire attacks. As the Squad hide out at an abandoned combat training facility, honing their vampire-vanquishing skills, they begin to suspect that they’re not alone. And when when a vial of Dracula’s blood is stolen from the bunker, the Vanquishers race to recover it before it falls into the wrong hands. The Vanquishers have always been Boog’s family, the ones she trusts the most. But what does it mean when a former Vanquisher, one of her heroes, is now hunting them?

Fantasy, history, memoir - it is easy to find books that fit a genre. But what if you want to go deeper? Who do you turn to for the niche, the unique, the inexplicably specific? We asked our booksellers what they would identify as their special interest genres, and to give a couple of examples!

The Global Stories Book Club!🌍

We're excited to announce the first book of our Global Stories Book Club - The Jamaica Road by Lisa Smith. 📚

limited spaces to ensure intimate conversation! ✨

About the Book:

A transformative love story about two best friends who fall for each other, fall apart, and try to find their way back together in their tight-knit British-Jamaican community.

South London, 1981: Daphne is the only Black girl in her class. All she wants is to keep her head down, preferably in a book. The easiest way to survive is to go unnoticed. 

Daphne’s attempts at invisibility are upended when a boy named Connie Small arrives from Jamaica. Connie is the opposite of small in every lanky, outgoing, and unapologetically himself. Daphne tries to keep her distance, but Connie is magnetic, and they form an intense bond. As they navigate growing up in a volatile, rapidly changing city, their families become close, and their friendship begins to shift into something more complicated. When Connie reveals that he and his mother “nuh land”—meaning they’re in England illegally—Daphne realizes that she is dangerously entangled in Connie’s fragile home life. Soon, long-buried secrets in both families threaten to tear them apart permanently.

Spanning one tumultuous decade, from the industrial docklands of the Thames to the sandy beaches of Calabash Bay, Jamaica Road is a deftly plotted and emotionally expansive debut novel about race and class, the family you’re born with and the family you choose, and the limits of what true love can really conquer.

Wednesday 2nd September | 6pm - 7pm
