The Cassandra Complex
Cassandra Penelope Dankworth is a creature of habit.
She likes what she likes (museums, jumpsuits, her boyfriend Will) and strongly dislikes what she doesn't (mess, change, her boss drinking out of her mug). Her life runs in a pleasing, predictable order. Until now.
She's just been dumped.
She's just been fired.
Her local cafe has run out of banana muffins.
Then, something truly unexpected happens: Cassie discovers she can go back and change the past. Now, Cassie should be able to find a way to fix the life she accidentally obliterated. And with time on her side, how hard can it be...? The hotly anticipated adult novel from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of Geek Girl, Holly Smale.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein, is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein", despite this being the name of the scientist. Frankenstein is a novel infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully realized science fiction novel.

Frankenstein (EN)
The gothic tale of Frankenstein and his construction of a human being who runs amok has, with the help of numerous films, become one of the most vivid of horror stories. But Mary Shelley’s original novel, written in 1816, dealt more sympathetically with ‘the daemon’, showing how an initially beneficent creature is hammered into a daemon by the way he is treated.

Képtelen Kréta
„R. ?Kelényi Angelika bármilyen témához is nyúl, egy igazi mestermű kerül ki a kezéből.” – Kitablar
A szépség ára a halál…Caroline Wood és szerelme, Ádám párterápiás célzattal Krétára repül nyaralni. A lány reméli, hogy a kettesben töltött néhány nap ismét fellobbantja az épp csak pislákoló lángot közöttük, ezért megpróbálja minden figyelmét a párjára fordítani.
Néhány meghitten unalmas nap után az egyedi hangulatú, romantikus kis szállodába egy nyolcfős amatőr alkotócsapat érkezik, hogy a táj és egy Eloise nevű, különösen bájos lány szépségét vászonra vigye. Eloise egy bormámoros, vidám estén lezuhan egy szikláról, és szörnyethal. A rendőrség balesetet állapít meg, Caroline azonban gyilkosságra gyanakszik, nem minden alap nélkül, hiszen a csoport szinte valamennyi tagjának lett volna oka meglökni Eloise-t. Bár Caro nem akar zűrbe keveredni, azt teszi, amit mindig: beszélget, kérdez, hallgatózik, kutakodik.
Szerelmi háromszög, zsarolás, vágyakozás, csalás, megcsalás…
Caroline feltevéseit mindaddig senki sem nem veszi komolyan, amíg fel nem bukkan egy újabb hulla. Olyan gyorsan fogy a festőkör létszáma, hogy a lány tudja, tennie kell valamit, különösen, hogy egy levélke szerint ő lesz a következő, ha nem hagyja abba a szaglászást.
R. Kelényi Angelika legújabb Caroline Wood-regénye a festői Krétára repíti az olvasókat, ahol kiderül, hogy a szerelem néha gyilkos indulatokat szül, a szív és az ész a legritkább esetben találja a közös hangot, az pedig, ha beleavatkozol mások dolgába, bizonyos helyzetekben halálos veszéllyel jár.
„Caro olyan, mint eső után a napsugár… felderít mindent és mindenkit.” – DoktORINA Blogja

Too Famous
TOO FAMOUS collects pieces Michael Wolff has written as a columnist for New York, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, GQ and The Hollywood Reporter, and adds several new ones. Written over a 20-year period, the book spans that moment in popular culture when personal attention became one of the world's most valuable commodities, and ending with Donald Trump, fame's most hyperbolic exponent.
Some of these pieces exist in the amber of a particular news moment, some as character portraits - as colourful now as when they were written - and some as lasting observations about human nature and folly. The common ground all of these thrilling stories share is that everyone in this book is a creature of, or creation of, the media. They don't exist as who we see them as, and who they want to be, without the media.
When the World Screamed
Professor Challenger drills into the earth until he reaches the mantle, convinced that it is a sentient being and that by doing so he will be the first person to alert it to mankind's presence. He awakens the giant creature, which then proceeds to destroy his machine.

Dracula
'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'
Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.
