The Rainshadow Orphans
The first novel in a dazzling epic fantasy trilogy inspired by Japanese folklore and Studio Ghibli, set within a mythical archipelago brimming with dragons and Sun Spirits, high-tech hackers and bubble tea. Life is hard for the inhabitants of Rainshadow City, a place where poverty and corruption are rife and where they are terrorised by an underground criminal organisation known as the Lucky Crows. Toshiko, Jun and Mei Kawakami are a family, bonded through loyalty if not blood, who live outside the law and who are seeking revenge for the murder of their beloved ‘aunt’ Reiko. Haru is the son of the Emperor, destined to one day rule over the Archipelago and uphold his mother’s ignoble legacy, but he is more interested in making friends with the magical Sun Spirits it seems only he can see. Theo, forced to leave his homeland, is a reluctant foot-soldier for the Lucky Crows. He doesn’t want to be a gangster, but as an illegal immigrant to the city, his choices are severely limited. When Toshiko steals a dragon pearl from the leader of the Crows, it sets them all on a thrilling path which will determine the future of Rainshadow City. Set across two days and peopled with unforgettable characters, The Rainshadow Orphans blends fantasy and science fiction to explore what it means to stand up to corruption and take charge of destiny.
Love and Terror
In August 1969, members of charismatic leader Charles Manson's countercultural "family" murdered some of Hollywood's "beautiful people," most famously Sharon Tate, eight and a half months pregnant at the time. The killers left behind evidence intended to implicate Black radicals and to trigger an apocalyptic race war. What happened instead was that the gruesome murders placed the entire counterculture un-der suspicion and then came to mean, in Joan Didion's formulation, the end of the sixties. They have been a cornerstone of the true crime genre ever since. Drawing on newly released archival material of case transcripts, Love and Terror recasts the Manson case as an exemplary site for historical scholarship. The book shows how the standard story of the murders came to be told the way it was. In place of this shopworn narrative, Claudia Verhoeven presents a kaleidoscopic history at the center of which is a far stranger portrait of Manson, the man who became the ultimate murder mastermind in the American mythos. Based on years of investigative research, Love and Terror rewrites the Manson murders as a prism of American culture, an event framed by global avant-gardist movements and revolutionary violence, and an early sign of our age of spectacle. This history is confused, tumultuous, and pell-mell; it is carnival-esque; and it is a downward spiral into terror that, however, is simultaneously thrilling and repetitively compulsive, which is why the song's refrain about the repeat experience of going up and down the helter skelter is also an apt metaphor for the endless retelling of the murders and the never-ending productivity of the Manson industrial complex/culture industry.

One message soon becomes a string of increasingly meaningful conversations, and her innocent addiction is blown out of proportion. But with his identity still a mystery, is their budding relationship destined for disaster? Or can Esme really have it all?

Oheň svatého Antonína
Je počátek 15. století. Mniši v klášteře mají po modlitbách a pokojně pečou chleba. Jednoho z nich však svírají pochyby o vlastní víře. Když úpěnlivě prosí o Boží znamení, pocítí pálení po celém těle a mysl mu prostoupí psychedelické vize. Nastala snad jeho poslední hodinka? Zřejmě ho čeká smrt a setkání s Všemohoucím… Tak proč se vedle něj vznáší týpek v ušmudlaných kraťasech, s jednou ponožkou na noze a lenonkami na nose?
Oheň svatého Antonína přibližuje fenomén ergotismu, který způsobuje námel, přesněji paličkovice nachová, cizopasná houba parazitující na některých obilninách. Po požití se dostavují silné tělesné příznaky jako mravenčení a svalové záškuby, halucinace či delirické stavy. Ostatně právě z námelu švýcarský chemik Albert Hoffman v roce 1938 poprvé syntetizoval diethylamid kyseliny lysergové aneb LSD.
Vydejte se s naším středověkým mnichem na vizuálně vířivou psychotropní cestu!

Sociálne siete musia byť zničené
Sociálne siete nám ubližujú ako jednotlivcom a kazia medziľudské vzťahy, rozkladajú spoločnosť a deformujú politiku.
Máme sa horšie, nerozumieme si a nedokážeme riešiť problémy, lebo sa nedokážeme dohodnúť ani na tom, ako vôbec vyzerá realita.
Výsledkom je oslabená spoločnosť, ktorá nie je schopná kolektívne konať a nedokáže sa ani brániť voči hrozbám.
Sociálne siete existujú necelé dve desaťročia a za ten čas zásadným spôsobom zmenili svet, v ktorom žijeme, aj spôsob, ktorým v ňom žijeme. Zmenili nás – k horšiemu.
Čo nám hrozí a čo potrebujeme? Čo v takejto situácii môžeme robiť a čo znamená, že sociálne siete musia byť zničené?

Zrodení v krvi 1: Spútaní cťou
Aria Scuderiová sa narodila v jednej z popredných mafiánskych rodín v Chicagu a pokúša sa raziť si vlastnú cestu vo svete, v ktorom nemá na výber. Má len pätnásť rokov, keď ju rodičia zasnúbia s Lucom Vitiellom, najstarším synom šéfa newyorskej Cosa Nostry, aby zaistili mier medzi obomi rodinami. S príchodom osemnástych narodenín sa nebezpečne približuje deň, ktorého sa Aria roky tak obávala: deň jej svadby s Lucom. Aria sa sobáša s mužom, ktorého sotva pozná, desí, obzvlášť keď ide o Lucu, ktorý dostal prezývku Zverák za to, že niekomu holými rukami vykrútil krk. Luca je pre svoj vzhľad, bohatstvo a charizmu lovca, z ktorej srší moc, azda jedným z najžiadanejších mužov v New Yorku, no dievčatá z vyššej spoločnosti, ktoré sa mu vrhajú k nohám, nevedia to, čo vie Aria: že vyžarovanie zlého chlapca nie je iba hra, za Lucovými pôsobivými sivými očami a arogantným úsmevom sa skutočne skrýva krv a smrť. V jej svete sa za pekným zovňajškom často ukrýva netvor, netvor, ktorý vás môže rovnako ľahko zabiť, ako pobozkať. Jediný spôsob, ako uniknúť pred manželstvom s Lucom, by bolo utiecť a zanechať všetko, čo kedy poznala, lenže Aria nedokáže zniesť myšlienku, že by sa navždy rozlúčila so svojou rodinou. Aj napriek strachu sa rozhodne toto manželstvo uzavrieť. Aria medzi predátormi, ako je Luca, vyrastala a vie, že aj tí najchladnokrvnejší bastardi majú srdce, a má v úmysle si to Lucovo získať.

Lenže čím viac sa Ivy ponára do sveta oslňujúcich bálov, tajných dohôd a krutých skúšok, ktoré kráľovná pripravuje, tým jasnejšie si uvedomuje, že v tejto hre ide o oveľa viac než len o svadbu.
Pretože víly nikdy nedávajú nič zadarmo.
A každá dohoda má svoju cenu.
