Před deseti lety byly Vraždy a housle přelomovým dílem. Dnes je to klasika. Vypravěč příběhu vzpomíná na to, jak se v dětství setkal se starým osteopatem, někdejším léčitelem Ala Caponeho. A pak poznenáhlu Anglie šedesátých let začíná splývat s Chicagem let dvacátých v úchvatně nakresleném příběhu o paměti a zlu.

Každý cintorín je plný preludov a duchov mŕtvych. Živí aj mŕtvi majú svoj svet. Tieto svety by sa nemali prelínať. V jednu noc sa však hranica medzi nimi poruší. Z domu, kde vrah zanechá tri mŕtve telá, štvornožky vyjde malé dieťa a vedené inštinktom sa v polnočnej tme vyberie hľadať útočisko na starodávnom cintoríne. Tam si nájde nových rodičov – múdreho pestúna Silasa a prísnu učiteľku Lupescovú – a začne žiť nový život, preniká do tajomstiev tajuplného prostredia a jeho obyvateľov, až napokon odhalí aj vraha svojich rodičov. Majster slova Neil Gaiman prináša čitateľom magický príbeh o živote a smrti, o láske a dospievaní, o nájdení novej rodiny na tom najzáhadnejšom mieste. Mrazivý príbeh plný mágie a tajomnej atmosféry cintorína, kde ticho okrem vo vetre šumiaceho lístia a lepkavej tmy zachádzajúcej pod nechty narúša aj život jeho právoplatných obyvateľov...

Best known for his collaborations with Neil Gaiman, McKean defied expectations with his stunning debut as writer and artist in Cages, winner of multiple awards for Best Graphic Album. Filled with complex characters, intriguing flights of fancy, and all the beautiful visuals you'd expect from the director ofMirrorMask, Cages is McKean's magnum opus. It chronicles the intersecting lives of a painter, a writer, and a musician living in the same apartment building, and is a profound rumination on art, God, cats, and the cages we build for ourselves.

A dark, powerful and moving short story from the internationally acclaimed author of Skellig. Joe Quinn tells everyone about the poltergeist in his house, but no one believes him. No one that is, except for Davey. He's felt the inexplicable presence in the rooms, he's seen random objects fly through the air. And there's something else ... a memory of his beloved sister, and a feeling deep down that somehow it might be possible for ghosts to exist.

Dark Horse proudly presents a new, second edition, of the graphic novel by legendary artist Dave McKean, based on the life of Paul Nash, a surrealist painter during World War 1.

The second edition of Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash features a new cover by Dave McKean, along with 15 pages of new bonus material examining the creation of the book.

Před tím, než stvořil Sandmana, napsal Neil Gaiman příběh Černé orchideje. Druhořadé superhrdinky, která se postaví zlu a... umře.

Na cestě za tajemstvím vlastní lidskosti (a pomstou) musí rozmotat pavučiny lží a tajemství. Začíná na chladných ulicích velkoměst a končí v srdci amazonského deštného pralesa.Černá orchidej je mistrovské dílo, které vzešlo ze spolupráce jednoho z nejlepších komiksových scenáristů a jednoho z nejvýraznějších kreslířů, geniálního Davea McKeana (Arkham: Pochmurný dům v pochmurném světě).
