A moment is the instant between a glance and a memory. Life is filled with ups and downs. It's like a roller coaster ride through the ectoplasm of time and space. Every now and then, a rider falls off into the uncertainty of the abyss. These unlucky souls are given a destiny of never-ending turmoil and illusion. This accelerating fall only slows enough for them to realize their fate, then speeds again. The following poems, stories and lyrics are their diaries.

There is no crueler cage than the confines of the human mind in this riveting sequel to Menagerie from the New York Times–bestselling author. When their coup of Metzger’s Menagerie is discovered, Delilah Marlow and her fellow cryptids find their newly won freedom brutally stripped away as they are sold into The Savage Spectacle, a private collection of “exotic wildlife.” Specializing in ruthless cryptid cage matches, safari-style creature hunts and living party favors, the Spectacle’s owner, Willem Vandekamp, caters to the forbidden fetishes of the wealthy and powerful. At the Spectacle, any wish can be granted—for the right price. But Vandekamp’s closely guarded client list isn’t the only secret being kept at the Spectacle. Beneath the beauty and brutality of life in the collection lie much darker truths, and no one is more determined than Delilah to strip the masks from the human monsters and drag all dark things into the light. “Oh what a disturbingly dark, and haunting world Rachel Vincent has crafted! Spectacle is definitely not for the fainthearted. However, it is the characters who are the heart and soul of Spectacle. The world they live in is harsh and brutal but it is the strength, love, and loyalty we see emerging out of the darkness that makes Spectacle so significant. I can’t wait to see what unfolds in the third book of the Menagerie series!” —Fresh Fiction “A bravura example of fantasy series-building.” —Publishers Weekly

The Environmental Gaze: Reading Sartre through Guido van Helten’s No Exit Murals offers an environmental reading of Sartre’s theory of the gaze. Challenging the common association of his work with Western anthropocentrism, Balay argues that the Sartrean gaze involves an inter-human-natural mode of perception: the environmental gaze.
