The Dark Place
With the nightmare of their beloved friend Amanda's stalker behind them, Molly and Rusty Sieber look forward to raising their son in the Ozark Mountains of rural Arkansas. Now, in The Dark Place, Molly and Rusty find themselves in a frantic search for two-year-old, Eddie, who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy, and whose very life depends on daily medication. This seemed like the perfect place to raise a boy, but right now it is the worst place possible to lose a precious son. Who is their chatty, unpredictable neighbor? Or the homeless woman who often disappears down the street? What about missing parolee, Samuel Lee Yates, who threatened to get even with Molly? Could they have anything to do with Eddie's disappearance, or is he just playing his favorite game...hide-and-seek? With the ringing telephone, the real nightmare begins, and the race is on to find Eddie before it's too late. The Dark Place will keep you on the edge of your seat until the surprising end.

What is the essence of story? How does the storyteller convey meaning? Leading scholar Harold Scheub tackles these questions and more, demonstrating that the power of story lies in emotion. While others have focused on the importance of structure in the art of story, Scheub emphasizes emotion. He shows how an expert storyteller uses structural elements—image, rhythm, and narrative—to shape a story's fundamental emotional content. The storyteller uses traditional images, repetition, and linear narrative to move the audience past the story’s surface of morals and ideas, and make connections to their past, present, and future. To guide the audience on this emotional journey is the storyteller’s art. The traditional stories from South African, Xhosa, and San cultures included in the book lend persuasive support to Scheub’s. These stories speak for themselves, demonstrating that a skilled performer can stir emotions despite the obstacles of space, time, and culture.
Dark Places
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • NOW IN DEVELOPMENT AS AN HBO LIMITED SERIES From the acclaimed author of Gone Girl, “a riveting tale of true horror by a writer who has all the gifts to pull it off” (Chicago Tribune) “Sensuous and chilling . . . a propulsive and twisty mystery.”—Entertainment Weekly Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in “The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas.” She survived—and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, the Kill Club—a secret society obsessed with notorious crimes—locates Libby and pumps her for details. They hope to discover proof that may free Ben. Libby hopes to turn a profit off her tragic history: She’ll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club—for a fee. As Libby’s search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started—on the run from a killer.
