Mexican Gothic
The acclaimed author of Gods of Jade and Shadow returns with a mesmerising feminist re-imagining of Gothic fantasy, in which a young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico.
He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemi. You have to save me.
When glamorous socialite Noemi Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.
Noemi's more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing, but she heads immediately to High Place, a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside, determined to discover what is so affecting her cousin. She's tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who is fascinated by Noemi; and not of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom.
Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he wants to help - but he might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And Noemi, mesmerised by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to leave this enigmatic house behind . .

In June of 2012, the creators of Welcome to Night Vale began airing twice-monthly podcasts, hoping to be heard by anyone outside their close circles. They never had any idea just how much the podcast would take off, and by the anniversary show a year later, the fanbase had wildly exploded, vaulting the podcast into the #1 spot on iTunes. Since then, its popularity has grown by epic proportions, hitting more than 100 million downloads, and Night Vale has expanded to a successful live multi-cast international touring stage show and two New York Times bestselling novels (Welcome to Night Vale and It Devours!), and a new podcast network Night Vale Presents. Now the second two seasons are available as books, offering a valuable reference guide to past episodes.
The Buying of Lot 37 brings Season Three of the podcast to book form. With foreword by recording artist and author Dessa, introductions by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, insightful behind-the-scenes commentary by cast members and supporters, and beautiful illustrations by series artist Jessica Hayworth accompanying each episode, this book is both an entertaining reading experience and an absolute must-have for any fan of the podcast.

Because being successful professionally as well as privately, fulfilling one's own wishes, having more money and securing one's prosperity in the long term, who would not like that? The way there leads over the correct attitude, evenly the success Mindset. It's not for nothing that Alibaba founder Jack Ma once said "If you want to change the world, you should start with yourself". And this is what needs to be learned, starting with a confident appearance in business and salary negotiations, through assertiveness in important decisions, to financial background knowledge for investing on the stock market. With the right mindset, the dream of financial freedom and passive income can definitely become a reality. But unfortunately, very few people are really familiar with the subject of investing money and opinions about proper financial planning are as many as experts. It is therefore necessary not to lose the overview in the jungle of financial products. Therefore, it makes sense to deal with one's own asset planning in more detail, after all, savings and thus retirement provisions, which are important for retirement, are only destroyed by inflation.

Love on the Brain
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis - with explosive results.
Bee Koenigswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.
But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Koenigswasser do?
Hello Human: A History of Visual Communication
A kaleidoscopic journey tracing the methods and means of visual communication from the cave paintings of the earliest humans to the 'photograph' of a black hole in deep space.
Since the beginning of our time as humans, we have never stopped making images and inventing channels for visual communication. From the cave dweller creating paintings on a wall at the dawn of civilized time to Instagram influencers today, technology may keep changing, but our need to reach one another, to move one another, to persuade, inform and entertain, has never been so vital.
Hello Human traverses the entire landscape of our diverse, expansive and yet familiar means of visual communication. From the use of the human hand as a symbol, the power and use of gestures and the genesis of the printed book, to the movement between dimensions of reality and the digital realm, pixilation, optics and the understanding of light, Horsham takes his readers on a journey full of unexpected twists and turns, laying out a temporal narrative in the form of an intricate map of objects, events and people tied together by a common purpose - to communicate.

Árnyak könyve
"Ha a sötétség megtalál minket és csontunkig hatoló fájdalmat kapunk tőle, akkor azt el kell fogadnunk, mint egy ajándékot. Nem szabad menekülni előle, át kell élni a lehető legmélyebben. Magunkba kell, hogy öleljük és eggyé kell vele válnunk, mígnem teljesen a részünkké nem lesz. Aztán meg kell fordítani ezt a hatalmas energiát, és felhasználva azt tovább kell menni az úton, mely tisztábbá válik az élmény által. A sötétség és a fájdalom a barátaink kell, hogy legyenek."
Az alkoholista Harry Bradford az öngyilkosság gondolatával játszik, miután nem tudja túltenni magát felesége halálán. Amikor azonban betér egy antikváriumba, céltalan élete új értelmet nyer. Anne és Jim Dalton boldog házasságban élnek kisfiukkal, Adammel együtt. Az idillnek akkor szakad vége, mikor egy nap Adam nem jön haza az iskolából. Másnap a rendőrség egy elhagyatott házban találja meg a fiú megcsonkított holttestét, aki kegyetlen rituális gyilkosság áldozata lett. Miután a házaspár és Harry útjai egy ősi kötet, az Árnyak könyve által keresztezik egymást, Anne és Jim előtt egy addig ismeretlen világ tárul fel, felcsillan a remény, hogy újra magukhoz ölelhetik imádott gyermeküket. De az út, amire ráléptek, fájdalommal, vérrel és halállal van kikövezve. Végén talán emberségük utolsó morzsáját is fel kell adniuk.
