"The Eaton" is the debut novel of John K. Addis. Spanning over 100 years of mid-Michigan history, but written in the gruesome style of '80s horror classics, "The Eaton" tells the story of Sam Spicer, who purchases the dilapidated Michigan Central Railroad Depot in Eaton Rapids with the dream of opening a hot new martini bar. But when he and his friends discover an abandoned underground hotel directly beneath the property, they must discover what happened to the original guests-before their own time runs out. Early Reviews: "***** (5 Stars) - Reading John K. Addis was like reading an eighties horror movie. It's fast paced, macabre and full of gritty atmospheric settings, along with a relentlessly chilling plot from an author who's mastered the genre " - "Catherine Rose Putsche, Top #40 Regional Goodreads Reviewer, Author of "The Surgeon's Son"" "***** (5 Stars) - The Eaton is the best kind of horror. Some of the images are so vivid that I had to put The Eaton down for a few minutes, let myself relax, take a few breaths, and then I could continue. This book is so well plotted, and the characters feel so real, that you will be as terrorized as they are. You will have to keep reading to see what happens next, even if you are afraid to find out." - "Bill Mackela, Bill's Book Reviews" "***** (5 Stars) - Amazing debut by a really talented author. As the action unfolds, and we start jumping back and forth in time, the narrative becomes irresistible. This is one of those books that will stick with you after you read it-Addis does a great job of putting you in the action." - "Alec Drachman, Goodreads" "***** (5 Stars) - I would recommend The Eaton to anyone who loves a good horror story with rich, well-developed characters who all have their secrets they would like to keep hidden, but are faced with a horror they've never met. If you ever hoped to find tunnels under the floorboards of an old house, or imagined you were on some sort of expedition to discover secrets that have been buried for years, you might want to try The Eaton." - "Melanie Marsh, FangFreakinTasticReviews.com"

Excerpt from The Eaton Readers: Second Reader The Second of the Eaton Readers is designed to furnish the child with reading matter adapted to the different seasons of the year and the holidays. A marked feature is the number of lessons referring to Special Days. The great festivals of the year, the days set apart for the promotion of patriotism and the birthdays of our country's most noted men are emphasized by stories, descriptions and poems. Stories, both old and new, furnish variety and awaken interest. The pleasures and experiences of the four children with whom the little readers of the First Reader have become acquainted appeal to the universal interest in a continued narrative. These stories of happy child life suggest amusements and games for the home and present in a natural manner the ethical ideas of kindness and unselfish giving. This book, like the first book of the same series, is written in accordance with the belief that a child's reading should increase his observation and love of nature as well as awaken a love for books. Both directly and indirectly many of the lessons supplement nature study and suggest appropriate language exercises.

Set in the final days before a shocking tragedy forces an elite boarding school to shut its doors for good, Ellie Eaton's The Divines is a razor-sharp debut that asks the question: were you really as good as you remember? I am Divine. My mother was Divine and her mother before that, which isn't uncommon. Although that was at a time when being Divine meant something . . . The girls of elite English boarding school, St. John the Divine, were notorious for flipping their hair, harassing teachers, chasing boys and chain-smoking cigarettes. They were fiercely loyal, sharp-tongued, and cutting in the way that only teenage girls can be. But for Josephine, now in her thirties, her time at St. John feels like a lifetime ago. She hasn't spoken to another Divine in fifteen years, not since the day the school shut its doors in disgrace . . . But an impromptu visit reawakens blurry recollections of those doomed final weeks that rocked the community. With each memory that resurfaces, she circles closer to the ugly secret at the heart of the school's scandal. But the more Josephine recalls, the further her life unravels, derailing not just her marriage and career, but her entire sense of self. With the emotional power of My Dark Vanessa and the reflective haze of The Girls, The Divines is a compulsive debut exploring the intoxicating, destructive relationships between teenage girls.

Symphony No. 3 follows the life of renowned French composer Camille Saint-Saëns as he ascends from child prodigy to worldwide fame. As his acclaim grows in Paris, the musical world around him clamours with competitors, dilettantes, turncoats and revenge seekers. At the height of his success, Camille leaves everything behind to embark on a Dantean quest for his dead lover, Henri. At the end of this adventure, still haunted by the holes in his past, he takes up an invitation to journey by ocean-liner to the New World. Finely crafted in its own unique rhythmic language, Symphony No. 3 is cast in four sections to mirror Saint-Saëns's famous work, popularly known as the Organ Symphony. Written and performed in London England in the infamous late 1880s, this was the composition he hoped would finally destroy Beethoven's stranglehold on the industry and reinvent the form. Though set in the decades surrounding the fin de siècle, Symphony No. 3 speaks directly to our present moment and the rise of political violence. Praise for Symphony No. 3: Symphony No. 3 is not only a vibrant dramatization of the life of Camille Saint-Saëns, but also a profound meditation on the place of music in culture, and of the tension between art and life. Eaton's language is orchestral in range, and there are wise epigrams worthy of Wilde (people who believe too much know nothing; people who know too much believe nothing). The novel is rich in period detail, along with some imaginative departures from the historical record. Like the organ work for which it is named, Symphony No. 3 is a sumptuous achievement. --Steven Moore, author of The Novel: An Alternative History
