Secret Attic


“Haunting and atmospheric.” —Nalini Singh, New York Times bestselling author, for The FarmhouseThe past isn’t just haunting her—it’s hunting her.Addison Lowe knew her mother-in-law despised her, but inheriting Barb’s massive estate after her death feels less like closure and more like a trap. Barb’s hoarded rooms aren’t just filled with clutter—they’re filled with secrets. And it’s Addison’s job to unearth them while Luke grieves the loss of the mother he could never let go of.But Luke grows stranger with every box they open—restless, secretive, cruel in ways Addison has never seen. And the house itself seems to breathe with Barb’s presence. Ivy claws through the windows. A murder of crows drops trinkets at her feet. Dolls stare from the shadows, labeled with names Addison doesn’t recognize—until she does. One doll bears the name Cassidy Warren, a girl who vanished years ago. And the more Addison uncovers, the more Barb’s legacy seems tied to the streak of “bad luck” that has haunted Rockside Bay for decades.The deeper Addison digs, the clearer it becomes: some secrets were meant to stay buried. And the husband she thought she knew may be hiding the darkest one of all…Praise for The Farmhouse:“Unputdownable… A smart, chilling, ferociously feminist thriller.” —Kristen Simmons, Bram Stoker Award Nominee“A thought-provoking, action-packed thriller… A must-read.” —Lisa M. Matlin, author of The Stranger Upstairs

Dobro a zlo 21. století


Co je dobré a co zlé? Dokážeme být dobří ve špatné době? Nebo v nás zlo probouzí temnotu? A kde hledáme útěchu v těžkých časech? Marek Orko Vácha se zamýšlí nad tím, jak se chováme v krizových situacích, zda umíme pomáhat, pokud jsme postavení tváří tvář katastrofám, jak dobře se spí vůdcům, kteří vyvolávají války, nebo co může udělat každý člověk pro to, aby byl svět lepším místem pro život. V sedmi částech knihy se postupně věnuje otázkám spojeným s altruismem, vírou a jejím postavením v současném světě, poslání lékařů nebo kvalitě každodenního soužití lidí různých národností i vyznání v době, která není pro nikoho jednoduchá. Když rozebírá vlastnosti dobra a zla, konstatuje: „Zlo bere samo sebe velmi vážně. Diktátoři nejsou vtipní, nemají smysl pro sebeironii, mají svoje velké myšlenky, pro které neváhají nechat zemřít miliony lidí. To naopak dobro je jiskřivé, kreativní, roztančené, citlivé.“

So when she catches the eye of the goddess Athena, who invites her to train as an esteemed priestess in her temple, Meddy leaps at the chance to see the world beyond her home. In Athens' colourful market streets and the clandestine chambers of the temple, Meddy flourishes in her role as Athena's favoured acolyte, getting her first tastes of purpose and power. But when she is noticed by another Olympian, Poseidon, a drunken night between girl and god ends in violence, and the course of Meddy's promising future is suddenly and irrevocably altered. Her locs transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she did not commit, Medusa must embrace a new identity-not as a victim, but as a vigilante-and with it, the chance to write her own story as mortal, martyr, and myth. Exploding with rage, heartbreak, and love, I, Medusa portrays a young woman caught in the cross currents between her heart's deepest desires and the cruel, careless games the Olympian gods play.

Murder on Iona


The naked and frozen body of Norah Fornario (33) was discovered lying on a roughly hewn cross on the ground, far from her London home, in the wilds of the remote Hebridean island of Iona in November 1929. The doctor declared she had simply died of exposure, officially, no regard was paid to the strange circumstances under which she had been found, no post-mortem was carried out, no inquest was ordered and there was no major police investigation.Award-winning historian Neil Storey investigates the case and throws new light on the life and mysterious death of Norah Fornario in a gripping story akin to the plot of an Agatha Christie murder mystery novel blended with one of the darkest stories of the occult by Dennis Wheatley. A story that involves the notorious occultist Aleister Crowley, ''The Wickedest Man in the World,'' elite secret societies in London, an ''occult college'' in the Home Counties, mystical Glastonbury, vampires, demons, fairy folk, and curses set against the backdrop of the roaring 1920s. A story that culminates on a remote Scottish island where folklore and superstition were still believed and feared, and an apparent case of murder by black magic … or was it?
