As the heavenly court wraps up its investigation of Xuan Ji, the Ghost Bride, Xie Lian starts a search for the bandaged boy bearing the scars of the plague that destroyed his kingdom eight hundred years ago. But with the trail gone cold, he’s forced to turn his attention to more pressing matters: He’s a god without a temple or worshipers, and he seems to have caught the attention of a powerful ghost king who is one of the infamous Four Calamities.
When Xie Lian returns to the Mortal Realm to establish a shrine, he meets a red-clad young man with strange knowledge of all the gods and ghosts – including Xie Lian himself, the long-forgotten Crown Prince Who Pleased the Gods.
Volume 2 includes episodes 15–27 of the original webcomic based on the webnovel Tian Guan Ci Fu published on JJWXC.
Průvodce psychonauta
James Fadiman, považovaný za „nejmoudřejšího a nejuznávanějšího amerického odborníka na psychedelika a jejich užívání“, se věnuje výzkumu psychedelik již od 60. let 20. století. V tomto průvodci popisuje osvědčené postupy pro bezpečné, terapeutické a posvátné psychedelické cesty, které se naučil během své více než čtyřicetileté praxe. Poukazuje na okamžité i dlouhodobé účinky užívání psychedelik pro účely spirituální (vysoké dávky), terapeutické (střední dávky) a pro řešení problémů (mikrodávky). Neopomíjí přitom zásady kvalitního setu a settingu, ani připraveného vlastního záměru před samotným psychedelickým sezením.
Fadiman podává přehled opomíjených psychoterapeutických výzkumů ohledně užívání psychedelik pro zlepšení zdraví, jak psychického, tak fyzického, např. mezi stovkami studentů. Odhaluje i nová využití LSD a dalších psychedelik, včetně mikrodávkování, pro zlepšení kognitivních funkcí a emoční rovnováhy. Upozorňuje dále, že psychedelika nejsou pro každého, a vyvrací mýty a mylné představy kolující v učebnicích, na psychedelických klinikách i na internetu. Fadiman ukazuje na životních příbězích průkopníků tohoto bádání, jako byli např. Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Huston Smith, stejně jako Francis Crick a Steve Jobs, jak mohou psychedelika, užívaná s rozumem, vést k vědeckým průlomům či duchovnímu prozření.
Dialogy o DMT
Tato kniha je záznamem setkání několika desítek předních vědců z celého světa věnujících se zkoumání sloučeniny DMT. Spolu s celou řadou dalších znalců a odborníků vedli intenzivní a otevřenou debatu o významu psychoaktivních rostlin i o látce DMT. Z neotřelých a odvážných pohledů se zrodily teorie ústící v neobvyklé, mnohdy až provokující závěry od simulační hypotézy, existence paralelních vesmírů až po názor, že DMT může být mimozemského původu.
Stále více vědeckých disciplín, od kvantové fyziky až po neurovědy, se v současné době přibližuje k základní pravdě a mystické vizi Philosophia perennis, podle které náboženské a filozofické tradice lidstva vycházejí z jednoho univerzálního zdroje a naše vědomí může ve vztahu k hmotě zaujímat primární, a nikoli sekundární postavení. I proto je nejvyšší čas prozkoumat vliv látek, jako je právě DMT, na lidské vědomí a duchovní život.
Může se snad nadcházející změna v nahlížení na lidské vědomí stát klíčovým obratem takřka koperníkovského významu, který pomůže lidstvu odhalit jeho skutečné poslání ve vesmíru? Pomůže nám učinit potřebné kroky k nalezení harmonie a souladu mezi lidským životem ve všech jeho oblastech, včetně sféry politické a ekonomické, a potřebami naší planety a ochrany přírody? A mohlo by se naše pochopení poznání a poselství, jež nám DMT přináší, stát klíčem k odemčení tajemství samotné podstaty vesmíru?
Phyllis Dalton: A Career in Costume
The extraordinary story of costume designer Phyllis Dalton, filled with insights, recollections, and revelations from a life spent on the great film locations of the twentieth century In conversation with film historian Alexander Ballinger, Phyllis Dalton (1925–2025) reveals how she created some of the silver screen’s most unforgettable and iconic costumes, working with such legendary directors as Alfred Hitchcock and David Lean, a woman in a man’s world. The book spans Dalton’s extraordinary fifty-year career in the film industry, from sewing in Soho workrooms on Laurence Olivier’s Henry V via intelligence work at Bletchley Park; apprenticeship at Gainsborough Studios to designing costumes on The Man Who Knew Too Much; the epic undertakings of costuming Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago (Oscar, Best Costume Design), and Oliver!; through to cult classics A Private Function and The Princess Bride to her successful late collaboration with a young Kenneth Branagh on Henry V (Oscar, Best Costume Design), Dead Again, and Much Ado About Nothing. Many of the book’s illustrations, sourced from Dalton’s personal archive, showcase unique ephemera, fabric swatches, production stills, large format pencil-and-watercolour sketches, and production notebooks from six decades of filmmaking. Many of these stunning images, including Dalton’s personal on-location photographs from the Lawrence of Arabia shoot, have never been published before. Distributed for Clapperboard Books

The Room in the Ground
In a tense return to the Bloodstorm series, past choices come back to haunt those who were wronged—and the ever-blurring lines between good and evil make them question what is right. Kim Ribbing is a peculiar man—a skilled hacker, but otherwise reticent and fiercely private. Crime writer Julia Malmros never expected more than a working relationship with him, but all that changed the moment they locked eyes. Now there’s something between them just as thrilling as the mysteries they investigate together. And just as dangerous too. Because Kim has secrets. Enemies. A murky past. And it’s all coming to a head in the confines of his basement. When Julia and fourteen-year-old Astrid—orphaned in a childhood friend’s murder that Julia and Kim investigated—venture downstairs, they’re pulled into the darkest corners of Kim’s life. And they resolve to help him finally get out. As deep as they go, they still can’t escape Jonny, Julia’s detective ex-husband who’s got an axe to grind with Kim. When a new case lands on his desk, confirming his suspicions, he knows just where to look. But some people always know just how to hide.
Klub odsouzených
Mnoho lidí má problematické rodiče. Ovšem otec Nicoly Fischerové byl právě odsouzen za vraždu pěti mladých žen – včetně její nejlepší kamarádky. Nicola přišla o práci, pronásledují ji novináři a čas tráví bezcílným scrollováním a nočními opileckými telefonáty Greer Woodsové, moderátorce úspěšného true crime pořadu. Právě ona tento případ rozlouskla, a obrátila tak Nicolin život naruby – než na čas beze stopy zmizela. Když Nicole konečně od Greer přijde e-mail, není v něm žádná omluva ani vysvětlení, jen zvláštní pozvánka na každoroční víkendový pobyt pro potomky sériových vrahů od podivného klubu, jehož se Nicola nedobrovolně stala nejnovější členkou. Ve snaze na chvíli uniknout svému životu nabídku přijme a postupně se poznává s ostatními účastníky, kteří působí sympaticky i lehce znepokojivě. A když se zde později objeví nezvaný host, atmosféra okamžitě houstne. Jenže následující ráno se paranoia změní ve strach: Jeden z nich je nalezen mrtvý. A všem ostatním se hlavou honí jediná otázka: Kdo zdědil víc než jen jméno?

Counterintuitive
Most people spend their lives solving small problems-following rules they never question, chasing goals they didn't choose, and accepting limits that don't actually exist.
If you've ever felt you were meant to play a bigger game, this book shows you how.
In Counterintuitive, Naveen Jain-serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of multiple billion-dollar companies-reveals the way of thinking that allowed him to consistently do what others believed was impossible. Jain shares that his success did not come from being smarter, luckier, or more connected. Instead, it came from asking better questions and challenging the conventional.
Breakthrough success doesn't come from working harder within the system. It comes from stepping outside it entirely. It's thinking so big that problems become simpler. It's using imagination as a discipline, not a daydream. And it's choosing bold optimism when the world insists on cautious realism.
This is not a book of tactics. It's a blueprint for a mindset shift.
Inside, you'll discover:
Why thinking bigger is often easier than thinking small-and why the world's most complex problems are the most solvable
How to unlearn the invisible rules that limit ambition, creativity, and impact
How to train your imagination to see opportunities where others see constraints
The counterintuitive principles Jain used to build billion-dollar companies, shape industries, and tackle global challenges
Blending personal stories, hard-won lessons, and unconventional insights, Counterintuitive challenges you to stop settling for what you're told is realistic and start reaching for what's truly possible.

You Weren´t Meant to be Human
This grotesque adult horror explores unwanted pregnancy through the parasitic terror of Leech and Brainwyrms, screaming with trans rage as queer and reproductive rights erode. Festering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. A fresh start. It’s an offer that none refuse. Crane is grateful. Among his hive’s followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won’t destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant—and the hive demands the child’s birth, no matter the cost—Crane’s desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood. You Weren’t Meant to Be Human is a deeply personal horror; a visceral statement about the lives of marginalized people in a hostile world, echoing the works of Stephen Graham Jones and Eric LaRocca.
