It’s Voter Registration Day, and we’re ready to celebrate our right to vote and our participation in the democratic process! If you haven’t yet registered to vote – or you’re unsure of your registration status – head over to vote.org for more information. But if you’re already registered and are excited about your voting plan, look no further than the Quirk Books catalog for some geeky political books to get you through to Election Day.

Dogs can be cute and cuddly. They can also be 6 feet tall and have blood red eyes. Well, the hellhounds from the underworld do. But hellhounds need love too! Here’s a pack of hounds who deserve some hugs.

There are many different types of punches in existence. The jab, the straight, the cross and the uppercut all of these are parts of the repertoires of the best pugilists in the world. Yet even all of those different punches don’t even scratch the surface of all of the punches in the world. To celebrate National Punch Day, we at Quirk decided to take a look at some of the greatest popular culture punches.

An urban legend spun around the campfire…a ‘70s low-budget drive-in shlocker…its ‘90s meta-remake…then a true crime podcast from 2016 that brings it all back to its bloody roots…

These are the raw materials for The Remaking, each medium coming together to help tell the true(ish) story of accused witch Ella Louise Ford and her 9-year-old daughter, Jessica—hereunto known as The Little Witch Girl of Pilot’s Creek—as their ghost story seeps through the century.

Now the narrative nested doll goes even deeper with the release of The Remaking in paperback! Quirk offered me an opportunity to talk about my personal faves from each medium and speak to the inspiration behind the novel itself. Here goes!

Are you looking for a good old-fashion whodunit to make you laugh? Or a noir crime trilogy that asks the hard questions via an apocalyptic twist? Maybe you're not sure what you're in the mood for and want to dive into an anthology of short stories by the Mystery Writers of America. Whatever mystery genre you prefer, check out our latest e-book deals to satisfy your personal mystery craving.

The good news? It’s only a movie. The bad news? It was inspired by a real-life cursed object. And don’t think you’re safe just because you don’t watch horror movies. Cursed objects appear in every film genre—adventure, fantasy, comedy, romance, drama. From Indiana Jones to Pirates of the Caribbean, Jumanji to The Mask to Harry Potter. And while most of the time, you can lay your head down at night restful in the idea that the cursed object in that movie you watched was the fanciful notion of an undercredited screenwriter, it’s not always the case.
