Peculiarly Yours is an adventurous, humorous history, punctuated with the dynamics of family relationships, school experiences, vacations and entry into early adulthood, employment and marriage. Placed in the setting of a small upper Midwestern town, the author's life is touched both by elements of sweeping proportion-the Great Depression and World II-as well as family, faith, and the challenges of childhood and adolescence in a religiously strict home environment. Peculiarly Yours will invite you into some of the innermost rooms of the soul as the author writes of internal conflicts, loss, and faith in the midst of troubling times and parental efforts to shape identity and character. This is a fast-paced personal history of life, death, comical mishaps, romance and maturation sketched against the backdrop of the 1930s and 1940s on the northern plains.

A Peculiar Peril is a head-spinning epic about three friends on a quest to protect the world from a threat as unknowable as it is terrifying, from the Nebula Award–winning and New York Times bestselling author of Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer. Jonathan Lambshead stands to inherit his deceased grandfather’s overstuffed mansion—a veritable cabinet of curiosities—once he and two schoolmates catalog its contents. But the three soon discover that the house is filled with far more than just oddities: It holds clues linking to an alt-Earth called Aurora, where the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley has stormed back to life on a magic-fueled rampage across a surreal, through-the-looking-glass version of Europe replete with talking animals (and vegetables). Swept into encounters with allies more unpredictable than enemies, Jonathan pieces together his destiny as a member of a secret society devoted to keeping our world separate from Aurora. But as the ground shifts and allegiances change with every step, he and his friends sink ever deeper into a deadly pursuit of the profound evil that is also chasing after them.
