“Wholly original . . . the work of the newest major talent in fantasy.”—The Wall Street Journal “Freakishly compelling . . . through heart-thumping acts of violence and laugh-out-loud moments, this book practically dares you to keep reading.”—Atlanta Magazine A missing God. A library with the secrets to the universe. A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away. Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father. In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own. But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy. Praise for The Library at Mount Char An engrossing fantasy world full of supernatural beings and gruesome consequences."—Boston Globe "Vivid . . . the dialogue sings . . . you'll spend equal time shuddering and chortling."—Dallas Morning News"

Carolyn était une jeune Américaine comme les autres. Mais ça, c'était avant. Avant la mort de ses parents. Avant qu'un mystérieux personnage, Père, ne la prenne sous son aile avec d'autres orphelins. Depuis, Carolyn n'a pas eu tant d'occasions de sortir. Elle et sa fratrie d'adoption ont été élevés suivant les coutumes anciennes de Père. Ils ont étudié les livres de sa Bibliothèque et appris quelques-uns des secrets de sa puissance. Mais Père a disparu et il n'y a maintenant plus personne pour protéger la Bibliothèque des féroces combattants qui cherchent à s'en emparer. Carolyn se prépare pour la bataille qui s'annonce. Le destin de l'univers est en jeu, mais Carolyn a un plan. Le seul problème, c'est qu'en le menant à bien, elle a oublié de préserver ce qui faisait d'elle un être humain. Avec une galerie de personnages mémorables, La Bibliothèque de Mount Char est à la fois terrifiant et hilarant, visionnaire et captivant.
