 Welcome to Burden Hill - a picturesque little town adorned with white picket fences and green, green grass, home to a unique team of paranormal investigators. Beneath this shiny exterior, Burden Hill harbors dark and sinister secrets, and it's up to a heroic gang of dogs - and one cat - to protect the town from the evil forces at work. These are the Beasts of Burden Hill - Pugs, Ace, Jack, Whitey, Red and the Orphan - whose early experiences with the paranormal (including a haunted doghouse, a witches' coven, and a pack of canine zombies) have led them to become members of the Wise Dog Society, official animal agents sworn to protect their town from evil. This turns out to be no easy task, as they soon encounter demonic cannibal frogs, tortured spirits, a secret rat society, and a bizarre and deadly resurrection in the Burden Hill cemetery-events which lead to fear and heartbreak as our four-legged heroes discover that the evil within Burden Hill is growing and on the move. Can our heroes overcome these supernatural menaces? Can evil be bested by a paranormal team that doesn't have hands? And even more importantly, will Pugs ever shut the hell up?

 There is simply no more beloved fable in the Grimm Brothers' canon than the story of "Snow White" - and no fresher retelling than this sublimely illustrated new version from Camille Rose Garcia, the innovative artist whose unique, edgy vision enlivened the "New York Times" bestseller "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Garcia lets her imagination fly once again with this iconic tale of an evil queen, a charming prince, and a runaway princess seeking shelter and safety with seven little men. With not one but two new Hollywood versions of the treasured fairy tale in the offing - the first starring Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer, and Lily Collins, and a second, "Snow White and the Huntsman", featuring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Nathan Lane - the timing could not be more perfect for a new literary Snow White to arise, awakened from an ageless sleep to live happily ever after once again.

 Throughout his 25-year career, cartoonist and screenwriter Dan Clowes has always been ahead of the artistic and cultural movements. In the late 1980s, his groundbreaking comic book Eghtball defined indie culture. With wit, venom and even a little sympathy, Clowes voiced the worries of slacker culture even while he comically lacerated its values. For his graphic novels he has received a slew of awards and his screenplay for Ghost World, based on his graphic novel, was nominated for an Oscar. His comics appear in the New York Times and on the covers of the New Yorker. Clowes even appeared as himself on an episode of The Simpsons in 2007 (alongside creators Art Spiegeknan and Alan Moore). The Art of Dan C/owes: Modern Cartoonist is the first monograph on this acclaimed artist and will be created with unprecedented and fully co-operative access to his personal archives. The book will be heavily illustrated with work spanning his entire career and the text, a collection of essays about the various facets of Clowes's oeuvre. The book will include his most important and well know images, characters and creations as well as rare sketchbook selections, previously unpublished comic and illustrations and ephemera from his personal collection.
