X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>About the author:</em></p>\n<p><strong
 >Kirsten Bakis</strong>&nbsp\;teaches at the Yale Writers&rsquo\; Workshop
 . Her previous novel\,&nbsp\;<em>Lives of the Monster Dogs</em>\, was a&nb
 sp\;New York Times&nbsp\;Notable Book of the Year\, winner of the Bram Sto
 ker Award for best first novel\, and was shortlisted for the international
  Women&rsquo\;s Prize for Fiction. She lives in New York's lower Hudson Va
 lley.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A contemporary feminist tale with a dreamlike\, got
 hic setting\,&nbsp\;<em><strong>King Nyx</strong></em>&nbsp\;reintroduces 
 readers\, twenty-five years after her acclaimed debut\, to one of our most
  astonishingly imaginative storytellers.</p>\n<p>Anna Fort wants to be a s
 upportive wife\, even if that means accompanying her husband for the winte
 r of 1918 to a remote\, frozen island estate so he can finish his book as 
 the guest of an eccentric millionaire. When she learns three girls are mis
 sing from a school run by their host\, Anna realizes finding them is up to
  her&mdash\;even if that means risking her husband&rsquo\;s career\, and p
 ossibly her life.</p>\n<p>Her husband&rsquo\;s masterpiece-in-progress fea
 tures strange meteorological anomalies along with wild speculations about 
 &ldquo\;facts&rdquo\; he believes scientists hide from the public. Most pe
 ople think Charles Fort is a crackpot. That&rsquo\;s about to change now t
 hat wealthy Claude Arkel is his patron.</p>\n<p>Yet Anna is sure something
 &rsquo\;s not right on Prosper Island\, though the alarming return of her 
 &ldquo\;troubles&rdquo\; makes her question her own sanity. Is the figure 
 in the woods really the ghost of her long-lost friend Mary\, or a product 
 of her disturbed imagination? Accompanied reluctantly by a fellow guest\, 
 the elegant and troubled Stella Bixby\, Anna embarks on a dangerous quest 
 to find the missing girls before Arkel finds her&mdash\;or her own mind un
 ravels.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong><em>Books will be available for purchase
