Nocturnos


''The night does not belong to us. She harbours her own mysteries.'' Nocturnos delves into the ethereal world of the night, when the mundane vibes of the day cede to a mysterious atmosphere in which anything seems possible. In the twilight hours, the darkness feels vast and untameable, the dead can intrude upon the land of the living, and the distance between imagination and reality seems closer than ever. Haunting narration connects a series of vignettes that capture glimpses of people''s lives as they navigate the nighttime. A traumatic collision while driving down a dimly lit road; a bedtime story that blurs the bounds of the imaginary, a walk through the woods that leads to strange symbols; this nighttime tour encompasses lush forests, dreamscapes, and the shadowy corners of private rooms. Along the way, these stories question the truths veiled in dreams, the nature of fear and loneliness, and the unknowable aura of the nocturnal world. In Nocturnos, her most masterful work to date, Spanish comics artist Laura Perez explores the magic and melancholy we encounter when dusk descends.

A vihar véget ért. Az üvöltő orkán kényszeredett szellővé csendesedett, az eső teljesen elállt, keleten az ég alja világos volt a hamarosan felkelő naptól. A tenger... Összeráncolta a homlokát, és még egyszer odanézett. Igen, valóban egy tengeralattjárót lát. "Pusztítsa el a rádiót", mondta a professzor. Az este Henry valamilyen idegen nyelven káromkodott. Előzőleg meg azt mondta: "A hazámért tettem!" És amikor félrebeszélt ezt: "Calais-nál egy fantomhadseregre várnak". Pusztítsa el a rádiót. Tudta, mit kell tennie. Ezt az utolsó dolgot még meg kell tennie David meg a többi fiatalember miatt, aki elesett a háborúban. A világhírű bestsellerszerző sikeres regénye, a krimiirodalom egyik klasszikusa.

Creative Futures


We're going to change the world. Science Fiction writers spend their lives thinking about what will happen in the future. In this anthology, a select group bring imaginative thinking to the challenges the world will face in the next century. This anthology is a collection of works that draw inspiration from the Creative Futures Research Project, a partnership between Coventry University and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), the UK Ministry of Defence's science and technology organisation. The writers involved in the project created stories that imagined some of the future crises that we may have to resolve and the ramifications of our choices on the generations who come after us. Edited by author, lecturer and researcher Allen Stroud, who had a leading role in the research project, this anthology not only entertains and inspires, but also reminds us of the immense value of the imagination and creativity of science fiction writers in helping us plan for future crisis management and resilience. The full list of featured authors in this book is: Allen Stroud, Gavin Smith, Kieran Currie Rones, Stewart Hotston, Emma Newman, Stephen Oram, Tiffani Angus, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Adeola Eze, Gareth L. Powell, Stark Holborn, and Sophia McDougall.

The Sister's Curse


Lieutenant Anna Koray thought she''d finally found solid ground and escaped her past as the daughter of a notorious serial killer. A loving boyfriend, a loyal dog, a life that almost feels normal-except darkness has a way of seeping in. When she saves a boy from drowning, the strange marks on his body tell a disturbing story: something in the depths tried to drag him under. Days later, another victim surfaces with identical marks and Anna''s instincts scream that these are no accidents. Both victims are connected to the Kings of Warsaw Creek-men of the town''s wealthiest and most influential families. And they have enemies. Others whisper that there are witches in Bayern County, seeking revenge for a long-ago murder. Perhaps it''s the work of Vivian Carson, the enigmatic bartender who''s rumoured to cast hexes on those who wrong her. Or maybe it''s a secret coven who''s been leaving serpentine symbols and skulls behind at the scenes of the drownings. But Anna''s investigation reveals an even more sinister truth: something is stirring in the water, and it wants the Kings to pay. With time running out and more victims appearing, Anna must separate superstition from truth. But in Bayern County, where legends and curses run deep as the water itself, one wrong step could drag her into the depths-this time for good.

Labyrinth


From the bestselling author of Lost in Time and Quantum Radio comes a new mind-bending thriller: a group of strangers with tinnitus begins seeing numbers — numbers they soon realize are a code that will change the world. Alan Norris has lost everything. Except for his daughter. And he’s willing to do anything to protect her. The day of his wife's funeral, as he’s walking to give the eulogy, the ringing in his ears starts. His tinnitus began when he was in the Marines, the day a roadside bomb went off. Usually, it's a low whine — a tea kettle that never quite boils. But as his prosthetic and his good leg sink into the soggy grass, the ringing changes. That afternoon, the ringing only he can hear sounds like three jagged rocks dropped in a tin can and shaken. When the rattling hits a crescendo, he sees a series of numbers: 12122518914208. He assumes it’s a stress reaction. A hallucination. He’s wrong about that. And several other things. The ringing and the numbers are a mystery, but the worst part is that when that unseen hand shakes the can, Alan begins to lose time. A few minutes at first. Then longer. Until one night, he wakes up next to a dead body. He could call the police. Or run. He doesn’t do either. Because he doesn't know what happened to his daughter during the time he lost, leaving him no choice but to dig deeper. Alan soon discovers he's not the only one seeing the numbers. And that the sequence is key to a conspiracy with far-reaching consequences. For him and the entire world.

Common


A coming to terms with marriage and career, the life-long impact of a father''s alcoholism, and an aunt''s insistent example to live an unroofed life."I had gone to the common under the vague impression that I wished to recapture something of a life I no longer possessed."Engaging with fiction, auto-fiction, place writing, and visual cultures, as well their various intersections with solitude, privilege, gender, whiteness, ageing, memory, and illness, Common is an introspective novel about loss, disillusionment, and the attempt to reconnect with both the legacies of the past and the intransigence of the present.Following the death of his aunt, Abilene, in between two national lockdowns the narrator, Robert, travels from his home near Manchester to his childhood home in Hampshire to settle the affairs of her estate. Upon arriving at his aunt?s house and confronted with all the debris of a life left behind, Robert goes for a walk on nearby Ludshott Common, a large area of ancient heathland. This walk becomes the catalyst for a number of transitions. Robert takes the sudden decision to abandon his role as executor and instead builds a hut on the common, where he stays for seven days. Robert is not entirely sure why he has done this, nor what he is necessarily hoping to achieve by doing so, uncertain whether he is searching for answers from this landscape or whether he wishes more simply for a break from his present circumstances. The ensuing first-person narrative is a portrait of living in nature and the reasons for the profound influence of Abilene on Robert. The novel records the building of the hut, Robert?s walks on the common, and his subsequent attempts to come to terms with his marriage and career, parenthood, white male privilege, art and music, the life-long impact of his father''s alcoholism, and his aunt''s insistent example to live an unroofed life.Common is concerned with quietness and circularity and, by extension, with implicitly challenging fictional conventions of cause and effect. The novel?s drama revolves around the effects and layers of damage, but from the perspective of what is neither quite confronted nor named.
