The House Where Death Lives

release date: Aug 06, 2024
The House Where Death Lives
A dance to the death. A girl who’s just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that’s constantly changing—and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place—within the frame of a particular house that isn’t bound by the laws of time and space. Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies like His Hideous Heart and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflix’s ground-breaking adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House, this YA speculative fiction anthology explores how the permanence of a home can become a space of transition and change for both the inhabitants and the creatures who haunt them. Each story in the anthology will focus on a different room in the house and feature unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether it’s a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, there’s bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.

Violet Made of Thorns
"Beautifully vicious. Perfect for the fairytale reader who has always wanted the heroine to grow sharp teeth and bite Prince Charming."—Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights A darkly enchanting fantasy debut about a morally gray witch, a cursed prince, and a prophecy that ignites their fate-twisted destinies—perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Serpent & Dove. Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased—and not always true—divinations. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so-not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he’s crowned at the end of the summer—unless Violet does something about it. But when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus''s love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom—all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride. Violet faces her own choice: Seize an opportunity to gain control of her own destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that’s growing between her and Cyrus. Violet’s wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can''t change her fate. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom—or doom them all.

Violeta es una profeta y una mentirosa con una enorme influencia en la corte real de Auveny. Mientras que el no tan encantador príncipe Cyrus es todo rectitud, Violeta no teme aprovechar las situaciones a su favor. Por eso, Cyrus planea despojarla de su puesto oficial como Vidente una vez que sea coronado al final del verano. La vida de Cyrus peligra debido a una maldición que le fue profetizada hace siete años: su salvación y la del reino dependerá de la esposa que elija. Ante la indecisión del príncipe, Violeta miente sobre la historia de amor de Cyrus por petición del rey Emilius, pero el tiempo se acaba y los Dioses del Destino no tienen intenciones de cambiar sus deseos. El ingenio de Violeta puede protegerla en la despiadada corte, pero no puede cambiar el destino. Conforme la frontera entre el odio y el amor se difumina, Violeta debe desenmarañar una perversa red de engaños para salvar al reino y a ella misma, o condenarlos a todos.

Violet Made of Thorns – Dem Schicksal zu trotzen hat seinen Preis
Violet ist Prophetin und Lügnerin, die den königlichen Hof mit ihren raffiniert formulierten – und nicht immer zutreffenden – Weissagungen beeinflusst. Ehrlichkeit ist für Verlierer, wie den gar nicht so märchenhaften Prinzen Cyrus, der Violet ihres offiziellen Postens berauben will, sobald er am Ende des Sommers den Thron besteigt – außer Violet unternimmt etwas dagegen. Doch als der König sie bittet, für einen bevorstehenden Ball Prophezeiungen bezüglich Cyrus'' Liebesleben zu fälschen, erweckt Violet einen gefürchteten Fluch zum Leben, der das Königreich entweder verdammen oder erlösen wird – je nachdem, für welche Braut sich der Prinz entscheidet. Auch Violet steht vor einer Wahl: entweder die Gelegenheit nutzen, ihr Schicksal in die eigene Hand zu nehmen, egal was es kostet, oder der wachsenden Anziehung zwischen ihr und Cyrus nachgeben. Violets scharfer Verstand mag sie bisher am intriganten Hof geschützt haben, doch auch er kann ihr Schicksal nicht ändern. Und während die Grenze zwischen Hass und Liebe bei Cyrus und ihr immer weiter verschwimmt, muss Violet ein teuflisches Netz der Täuschung entwirren, um sich selbst und das Königreich zu retten – oder für immer zu verdammen.

Violet, vervloekt & verwoest
Een duister en betoverend fantasydebuut. Violet is een ziener en een leugenaar. Met haar slim geformuleerde voorspellingen drukt ze haar stempel op het koninklijke hof. Eerlijkheid is voor zwakkelingen, vindt ze, zoals de o zo niet-charmante prins Cyrus, die van plan is om Violet direct uit haar officiele rol te zetten zodra hij aan het einde van de zomer tot koning gekroond is. Maar wanneer de koning Violet vraagt een vals liefdesverhaal voor Cyrus te voorspellen, wekt ze een gevreesde vloek op die de ondergang of de redding van het koninkrijk zal betekenen. Violet staat voor een keuze: haar eigen lot in handen nemen, ongeacht de gevolgen, of toegeven aan de aantrekkingskracht tussen haar en Cyrus. Terwijl Violet en Cyrus dichter naar elkaar toe groeien, moet ze het opnemen tegen een mysterieus kwaad om zichzelf en het koninkrijk te redden – of alles en iedereen te verdoemen... - Spanning, romantiek, magie en intrige - Een boek dat leest als een duister sprookje dat je niet zal loslaten - Een enemies-to-lovers romance om van te smullen! - Het eerste deel van een duologie - Voor de fans van Ashley Poston, Holly Black en Shelby Mahurin

Implied Assumptions for Some Proposed Robust Estimators

Implied Assumptions for Some Proposed Robust Estimators
Assumptions which could motivate various L-estimators M-estimators are discussed. In particular, for samples of size ten a distribution in the contaminated expontential power family is found whose posterior mean approximates each of a number of proposed L-estimators. Also distributions in this family are found whose posterior modes approximate suggested M-estimators. (Author).

A Study of Real Data

A Study of Real Data
Nine sets of real data are analyzed. The distributions within the contaminated exponential power family which best describe these data sets are obtained by maximum likelihood. It appears that heavy tailed distributions are often produced by secular inhomogeneity in mean and variance. A specific robust estimator would behave well if, in the real world, data occurred of the kind which favored it. In this paper more classical sets of data are considered and their characteristics are studied in relation to proposed robust estimators.

Further Study of Robustification Via a Bayesian Approach

Further Study of Robustification Via a Bayesian Approach
A Bayesian model has been proposed which describes the generation of an observation by a process whereby with prior probability 1-alpha the usually assumed statistical structure is correct but with small probability alpha it is incorrect (for example, the observation has a very large variance). For a simple location estimate the nature of the down weighting of outlying observations produced by this model is studied and is compared with that of the presently popular M-estimators.
