Bohobijec
Samuel Drops má za sebou pekelné dobrodružství. Zabil pár ohavných zrůd, zlikvidoval živoucího boha a zachránil Celsior i s jeho obyvateli. Na závěr pak ještě stanul proti samotnému Chaosu, bohyni stvořené z pozůstatků tříštících se sil starého světa. Nyní ho žene kupředu slib učiněný před odjezdem – má pomoci osvobodit Vary od tyranie bohů. Podle všeho by se totiž právě tam mohl střetnout se svým dávným úhlavním nepřítelem. Na cestě k jeho cíli nicméně leží nejedna překážka a nejhorší z nich představuje Prágl, město postavené na kostech dávné civilizace. Místo, kde lidé, bohové a jejich monstra žijí pohromadě, skrývajíce vzájemnou nenávist za masku nulové diskriminace. Volné pokračování románu Likvidátor.

Klub smutných duší
„Vím naprosto přesně, jak to myslíš.“ Šest obyčejných slov, která někdy potřebuje slyšet každý z nás.
Tohle je příběh jednoho z těch dnů – dnů tak špatných, že sotva vstanete z postele, kdy máte problém vyjít z domu, a když se vám to podaří, litujete, že jste to udělali. Ale i ty nejhorší dny vás mohou překvapit. Když na party jedna osamělá smutná duše zahlédne na druhé straně místnosti jinou smutnou duši, rozhodnou se odejít společně. To, co se stane potom, všechno změní. Protože té noci založí Klub smutných duší – tajný spolek pro úzkostné a osamělé, klub pro ty, kteří si myslí, že nikam nepatří.
Holiday Romance - Karácsonyi románc - Fitzpatrick Christmas 1.
Molly és Andrew Írországba repülne haza az ünnepekre, amikor egy különös hóvihar keresztülhúzza a számításaikat.
Kettejük között soha semmi romantikus nem történt: barátok, és ez minden. Már tíz éve évente egyszer hét órát és tizenöt percet együtt töltenek a karácsony előtti utolsó járaton, ami Chicagóból Dublinba tart. Az úton általában borzalmas bort kortyolgatnak, és beszámolnak egymásnak arról, hogyan alakult az életük a legutóbbi találkozásuk óta. Nagyon különböznek egymástól, és ez az ünnepi hagyományokról kialakult véleményükben is megnyilvánul.
Molly nincs túlzottan oda a karácsonyért, ezzel szemben Andrew fanatikusan rajong érte. Neki sokat jelent, hogy az ünnepeket Írországban tölthesse a családjával, és ezt Molly jól tudja. Ahelyett, hogy a józan észt követnék, és Amerikában maradnának, belevágnak egy őrült kalandba. Molly megígéri Andrew-nak, hogy mindenáron hazajuttatja édesanyja híres karácsonyi vacsorájára.
Az óra ketyeg, lassan kifutnak az időből. De Mollynak mindig van újabb terve. És amíg a taxik, repülők, hajók és vonatok menetrendjét zseniálisan össze lehet hangolni, addig semmi baj nem lehet.
Amivel egyikük sem számol, hogy amíg szakad a hó a város és a két jó barát feje fölött, az univerzumnak velük van terve, mégpedig az, hogy összeboronálja őket - annak ellenére is, hogy meg vannak győződve arról, hogy nem egymásnak teremtették őket.
Tökéletes olvasmány Sophie Kinsella és Christina Lauren, valamint. A szerelem hullámhosszán rajongói számára.
Add át magad a karácsonyi romantika varázsának!

The Shapeshifter's Daughter
Nothing, on earth or below it, freezes faster than the worthless heart.Before she was a hideous monster, the queen of the underworld was simply Hel. But cast as a girl out of lofty Asgard, realm of the gods, by Odin the Allfather, Hel''s fate as the terrible goddess of death is sealed. Half beauty, half crone, she has reigned for aeons in the starless darkness of Niflheim, grimly welcoming the most pitiful of death''s travellers to her ice-locked prison. Until one day a memory shifts, and she is forced to seek out the sun in Midgard, where humans have made their home. Faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Helen Firth makes the impulsive decision to return to Orkney after forty years to make peace with her past. Under the wintering solstice sun, she reconnects with the ungainly but affable Thorfinn Coffin, who helps her address the real reason she has returned to the islands: to die. As Helen draws closer to death and ever closer to Thorfinn, Hel in turn is intrigued by Helen. She, too, has a past to confront and a lesson to learn: that perhaps who she thinks she is isn''t who she is really meant to be.A powerful reimagining of the Norse myth of Hel, The Shapeshifter''s Daughter celebrates the joy of reclaiming our stories.

The Silver Book
‘It is dangerous to want someone this much. He has always known it, from the very first night.’It is September 1974. Two men meet by chance in Venice. One is a young English artist, in panicked flight from London. The other is Danilo Donati, the magician of Italian cinema, the designer responsible for realising the spectacular visions of Fellini and Pasolini. Donati is in Venice to produce sketches for Fellini’s Casanova. A young – and beautiful – apprentice is just what he needs.He sweeps Nicholas to Rome, into the looking-glass world of Cinecitta, the studio where Casanova’s Venice will be ingeniously assembled. Then in the spring, the lovers move together to the set of Salo, Pasolini’s horrifying fable of fascism.But Nicholas has a secret and in this world of constant illusion, his real nature passes unseen. Amidst the rising tensions of Italy’s ‘Years of Lead’, he acts as an accelerant, setting in motion a tragedy he didn’t intend.The Silver Book is at once a queer love story and a noirish thriller, set in the dream factory of cinema. It’s a fictional account of real things, and an investigation into the difficult relationship between artifice and truth, illusion and reality, love and power.
Things That Disappear
From the 2024 winner of the International Booker Prize, a collection of short essays on the places, people, rituals and objects that slip into the realm of memory. The Palace of the Republic, that once housed the East German parliament, is demolished. A grandmother's laughter passes from life into memory. Furniture that once made a home is taken to the tip. A friendship drops into silence. Old ways are erased by the new. In this fascinating collection of essays, most of them written for her column in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Jenny Erpenbeck meditates, with a sense of both deep melancholy and wry humour, on the disappearance and impermanence of things. Whether recalling the shop that used to darn tights in the days before you could just buy a new pair, reflecting on changing social attitudes, or considering the mysterious vanishing of a piece of cheese from her fridge, Jenny Erpenbeck's sharp intelligence, eye for telling detail, and her nuanced perspective on her country's past and present imbue these brief pieces with lasting power.
Unriddling the World
Stories are living things. They are viral. They enter us through our eyes and our ears and they take up residence inside us. Unriddling the World is a collection of fifty traditional narratives – stories from the winding track that leads from nursery rhyme to the great tales of creation and redemption, by way of ballads, riddles, folk tales, legends, epics and myths. They’ve been shaped by countless voices and they’ve stood the test of time. They are concentrations of human experience and they speak in the enigmatic picture-language of dreams. These Fifty Wonder Tales form the heart of Hugh Lupton's repertoire: from ‘The Stone Monkey’ to the ‘Oil of Mercy’, from ‘The Pottle of Brains’ to the ‘Pool of Dharma’, they are a gift from the past to the future, shaped for retelling by a master storyteller. They’re alive . . . and they’re waiting to be told again.
William Golding: The Faber Letters
The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.-- William Golding to Charles MonteithIn 1953, William Golding''s novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a ''slush pile'' of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Golding''s transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as ''Dear Monteith'' and ''Dear Golding'' become ''Dear Charles'' and ''Dear Bill''.In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Golding''s dreadful spelling.
Madame de Mauves & Other Tales
''This selection forms a biography of sorts. Submerged beneath the surface of his melodramas are the unspoken fears that Henry hoped, by living in Europe, to leave behind'' Frances Wilson, from her preface to Madame de Mauves & Other TalesThe stories in this selection are James''s earliest tales, including ''A Tragedy of Error'', which was published when he was just twenty-one. With the exception of ''Madame de Mauves'', which is 31,000 words, all the tales here are short and what James himself would have described as ''anecdotes.'' In these stories James explores notions of freedom, sexuality, a fear of marriage and derailment in love, as well as other concerns of a young man with the mind of a wordly observer. Frances Wilson has selected these thirteen stories and provided an original introduction to James''s work.

Spit Back the Bones
For fans of Midnight Mass comes a haunting new horromance. Something dreadful is festering in the old Thomas Bog. For years, it’s done what it has been taught to do—it swallows. But it’s done following orders.
It’s been three years since Mila Thomas’ brother Jed went missing and his case went cold. Since then, Mila has fled town, running from the voices of the dead that reach her from the depths of the old family bog, afraid she would hear her brother’s among them.
But when her younger sister, Agatha, calls her back home to celebrate her graduation, Mila can’t help but return to her old haunts. When she arrives, Mila comes face to face with the town reverend, who informs her that Agatha is now also missing. Finding her mother and the local police utterly useless, Mila opens herself up to the voices of the bog in the hopes that they can tell her where her sister is. But something else lurks beneath the bog''s waters, something that would sooner hunt her than help her. As more bodies turn up on the sandy shores, Mila must overcome her complicated history with the reverend’s estranged son—the boy she never quite got over—to unearth the fate of the town’s missing members and the family secrets that may be behind everything.
