The Crimson Moth
Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.
On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.
Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can't help but find herself falling for.
Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?
Kristen Ciccarelli’s The Crimson Moth is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch…is falling in love.

A Botanical Daughter
Mexican Gothic meets The Lie Tree by way of Oscar Wilde and Mary Shelley in this delightfully witty horror debut. A captivating tale of two Victorian gentlemen hiding their relationship away in a botanical garden who embark on a Frankenstein-style experiment with unexpected consequences.
It is an unusual thing, to live in a botanical garden. But Simon and Gregor are an unusual pair of gentlemen. Hidden away in their glass sanctuary from the disapproving tattle of Victorian London, they are free to follow their own interests without interference. For Simon, this means long hours in the dark basement workshop, working his taxidermical art. Gregor’s business is exotic plants – lucrative, but harmless enough. Until his latest acquisition, a strange fungus which shows signs of intellect beyond any plant he’s seen, inspires him to attempt a masterwork: true intelligent life from plant matter.
Driven by the glory he’ll earn from the Royal Horticultural Society for such an achievement, Gregor ignores the flaws in his plan: that intelligence cannot be controlled; that plants cannot be reasoned with; and that the only way his plant-beast will flourish is if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate.
The experiment – or Chloe, as she is named – outstrips even Gregor’s expectations, entangling their strange household. But as Gregor’s experiment flourishes, he wilts under the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes. The mycelium grows apace in this sultry greenhouse. But who is cultivating whom?
Told with wit and warmth, this is an extraordinary tale of family, fungus and more than a dash of bloody revenge from an exciting new voice in queer horror.

A Sorel-ház
Salamon Pál világsikerű, négy magyar kiadást megélt önéletrajzi ihletésű családregénye három generáció, a Sorel "dinasztia" történetét meséli el. Földközeli prózaiságával bevezeti az olvasót a 20. század magyar történelmébe, legendás-misztikus elemivel, az emberi méltóságot hirdető filozófiájával pedig tartást ad, és mint az igazán fontos művek: élni segít. A Monarchia legnagyobb különce, a Kárpátok varázslatos vidékén született, nagy erejű ácsmester, Sorel József az élet alapvető kérdésein szokott töprengeni, s miközben tető alá hozza egyedi házait, megvédi az elesetteket és falja a könyveket, arra a következtetésre jut, hogy a világ végveszélyben van, így még több segítségre szorul. Megalapítja hát otthonában az Atlantis Királyság Követségét... Fiának, a fizikai, lelki és szellemi erőt magában egyesítő Sorel Mihálynak, majd a svéd Sorel unokának mi tagadás nehéz és nemes örökség jutott osztályrészül: háborúkon, üldöztetéseken, diktatúrákon keresztül, és természetesen a szerelem útvesztőjén át kell továbbvinniük a hagyományt.

Hupota hihetetlen kalandjai erdőn-mezőn
"Üres volt már néhány megszokott hely, amikor hangos köszönéssel egyre közelebb és közelebb jött valaki. Ki tudja a reggeli munkaértekezlet vagy valami más teendő foglalta le az összes munkást, de pillanatnyilag a csarnok visszhangzott az érkező köszönésétől. -Jó napot! - Jó reggelt! - Halló, van itt valaki? - Kérem, válaszoljon! Talán megelégelte saját hangját, mert csendben folytatta felderítő útját. Sorra elhaladt a bent maradt traktorok közt. Továbbra sem tartóztatta fel senki és semmi a nézelődésben. Akadálytalan útja során mindent megnézett, így jutott el kistraktorhoz, aki mi tagadás, öregesen szunyókált. Éppen ezért fogalma sem volt a látogatóról. Szeretetteljes érintés az egyik sárhányón, egy másik a lámpáján, ismerősnek vélt lapogatás a kormányán. -Most már aztán megnézem magamnak ki az, aki ilyen korai órán engem kényeztet - gondolta kistraktor. Így is tett, óvatosan kipislogott, aztán már ragyogott az arca, sutba dobta minden megfontoltságát. Géplelke újra élt!"

Önmaga tükrében idegenként
"Julia Kristeva az együttélés formáinak és az azokat jellemző korlátoknak a felismerésére, újragondolására invitálja az olvasót. A szerző az európai civilizációban mindig is jelenlévő idegen sorsát rekonstruálja a történelem, az irodalom és a filozófia talapzatán állva: hogyan érkezhetett el az európai ember az antikvitás barbárjától a Szent Pál hirdette kozmopolita eszmékig? Rabelais, Morus Tamás és Erasmus miként festették meg a távoli országok lakóinak életét és különös szokásaikat? Hogyan lehetséges, hogy a nagy Forradalom, amely eleinte minden harcost szívesen látott, később terrorral sújtotta a "betolakodókat"? Hogyan torzulhatott el a romantika nemzetfelfogása és válhatott a totalitarizmus alapjává? A távolról érkező idegen, Freud "kísérteties" fantomja egy egészen új etikát mutat fel az új évezred emberének: nem a hasonulás és beolvasztás folyamatain belül kell ezentúl ráismernünk. Tiszteletet kell mutatnunk a másként létező élni akarásával szemben - tiszteletet, amit az emberi jogok és kötelességek végső következményének kell tekintenünk.

Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life & Death of Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people.
But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play.
Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways - and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock.
And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death.
Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon.
Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth, has drawn upon his own interviews and extensive research to produce an inimitable, novelistic telling of this tale - the definitive portrait of the Guitar God at whose altar other guitar gods worship.
Jimi Hendrix's is a story that has been told many times before - but never quite like this.

Massive, Expressive, Sculptural
Buildings designated brutalist in style were largely built in the 1960s and 1970s, exuding an aura of daring, uncompromising design today. It is the French term "brut," meaning raw or unrefined, that lent its name to this particular architectural phenomenon. Vilified for decades as the step-child of modernism, brutalist architecture is now enjoying an astonishing comeback as the latest discovery among digital trendsetters. As well as fascinating users across social networks, brutalism is also inspiring contemporary architecture. Large-scale sculptural forms, coarsely finished materials and floor plans that defy convention merge with contemporary design to generate enthralling new creations. This book offers a sophisticated overview of post-war and contemporary brutalist buildings and of the relationship - in appearance and design, in the grand concepts and the smallest details - between brutalism today and its ancestors.

Anatomy of Violence
Adrian Raine is one of the world's leading authorities on the minds of the violent, the criminal, the dangerous, the unstable. "An Anatomy of Violence" is the culmination of his life's work so far, offering the latest answers to some of the most difficult questions: what are the causes of violence? Can it be treated? And might it one day be stopped? Are some criminals born, not made? What causes violence and how can we treat it? "An Anatomy of Violence" introduces readers to new ways of looking at these age-old questions. Drawing on the latest scientific research, Adrian Raine explains what it reveals about the brains of murderers, psychopaths and serial killers. While once it was thought upbringing explained all, and subsequently explanations shifted to genetics, Raine goes to great pains to explain that anti-social behaviour is complex, and based on the interaction between genetics and the biological and social environment in which a person is raised. But the latest statistical evidence between certain types of biological and early behavioural warning signs is also very strong. Through a series of case studies of famous criminals, Raine shows how their criminal behaviour might be explained on the basis of these new scientific discoveries. But the conclusions point to a host of philosophical and moral issues. What are the implications for our criminal justice system? Should we condemn and punish individuals who have little or no control over their behaviour? Should we act preemptively with people who exhibit strong biological predispositions to becoming dangerous criminals? These are among the thorny issues we can no longer ignore as our understanding of criminal behaviour grows. Praise for Adrian Raine's "The Psychopathology of Crime": "An extremely informative, thoughtful and illuminating book ...a tour de force". (David P Farrington, Psychological Medicine). Adrian Raine is the Richard Perry University Professor in the Departments of Criminology, Psychiatry, and Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. For the past 35 years, his research has focused on the neurobiological and biosocial bases of antisocial and violent behavior, and ways to both prevent and treat it in both children and adults.

Karády - 100
Ha háromszor ír meg valamit az ember, annak különös oka lehet. Van is. Ennek az életrajzi kötetnek a főszereplője is legalább háromszor kelt életre, és győzött filmvásznon, hanglemezeken, sikereit fölelevenítő utókori slágerbajnokok föllépésein. Karády Katalin legenda és mítosz lett. Ha ma élne, firkászok siserehada futna a nyomában, kereskedelmi tévék kamerái vennék üldözőbe, hetente jelenne meg róla valamilyen álhír. Neki valóban nemcsak ötperces halhatatlanság jutott osztályrészéül. A Rákosi-korszak emigrációba, a Kádár-korszak kényszerű Csipkerózsika álomba kényszerítette, de ő még életében feltámadt: hangja és filmjei a tiltottból a tűrt kategóriába emelkedtek. Haza ugyan nem tért sohasem, bármit is fantáziáltak szenzációéhes zsurnaliszták, de figurája mélyen ágyazódott bele az utókor tudatalattijába. Kelecsényi László filmtörténész, aki korábban két kiadásban is napvilágot látott társadalomtörténeti esszéjében foglalkozott a halhatatlan dívával, most egykori önmagával vitatkozva, palimpszesztként írta újra hajdani kéziratát. A kötetet Karády szerepeinek minden eddiginél részletesebb felsorolása és egy bőséges irodalomjegyzék egészíti ki.

Detective Club The Grell Mystery
The latest in a new series of classic detective stories from the vaults of HarperCollins involves the murder of a notorious criminal in the home of a famous millionaire. But there are no clues, no evidence. The police are convinced that someone may have just committed the perfect crime. "The Detective Story Club", launched by Collins in 1929, was a clearing house for the best and most ingenious crime stories of the age, chosen by a select committee of experts. Now, almost 90 years later, these books are the classics of the Golden Age, republished at last with the same popular cover designs that appealed to their original readers. The Grell Mystery was first published in 1913 and selected as one of the launch titles for the Detective Club in 1929. It was written by former Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Frank Froest, who had turned in retirement to writing successful and authentic crime novels. "If you like a thriller with plenty of exciting incident and a clever plot you will like this first-rate detective novel by Frank Froest. Chief Inspector Foyle was confronted with the most bewildering case of his career when Goldenburg, the crook, was found foully murdered in the flat of Robert Grell, millionaire. Here was what appeared to be a perfect crime without a clue that led anywhere. But Foyle was more than a match for the arch-criminal and his masterly deduction and determination brought him a splendid triumph."
