The Possession of Alba Diaz


In 1765, plague sweeps through Zacatecas. Alba flees with her wealthy merchant parents and fiancé, Carlos, to his family’s isolated mine for refuge. But safety proves fleeting as other dangers soon bare their teeth: Alba begins suffering from strange hallucinations, sleepwalking, and violent convulsions. She senses something cold lurking beneath her skin. Something angry. Something wrong. Elías, haunted by a troubled past, came to the New World to make his fortune and escape his family’s legacy of greed. Alba, as his cousin’s betrothed, is none of his business. Which is of course why he can’t help but notice her every time she enters a room or the growing tension between them… and why he notices her deteriorate when the demon’s thirst for blood grows stronger. In the fight for her life, Alba and Elías become entangled with the occult, the Church, long-kept secrets, and each other… not knowing that one of these things will spell their doom.

Good Country People and Other Stories


The American South. A turbulent world, fraught with the Civil Rights struggle and toxic religious tensions. Against the backdrop of mountainous sunsets and backwater shacks, deserted highways and small-town gas stations, people forge their own lives. We encounter murderers, escaped convicts, dysfunctional families, conmen, fanatics, farmhands, Bible salesmen, troubled children, gangsters, hypocrites, misfits and outcasts. These are characters marked by grotesque flaws, darkly humorous and oddly beautiful. Their complex humanity is revealed in apocalyptic moments of Gothic horror, absurdity and violence that transform all who witness them - and us, too, as we realise that nothing in our moral universe is black and white. Flannery O’Connor is the supreme tragicomic chronicler of these bodies and souls, her classic stories infused with the dazzling force of prophecy as one of the century’s most visionary writers.

Tintin kalandjai 17. - Emberek a Holdon


Elérkezett az Irány a Hold című kalandban megtervezett űrutazás ideje: Tintin, Milou, Haddock kapitány és Tournesol professzor a Holdra tart. Az utazás nem várt veszélyeket is tartogat, hiszen ebben a képregényben ők az első emberek, akik a Holdra léphetnek. Az űrutazást számos izgalmas fordulat és váratlanul felbukkanó szereplő teszi emlékezetessé. Vajon épségben visszatérnek hőseink a Földre? Ma már az űrutazás szinte rutinszerű, de a képregény 1954-es megjelenésekor egy ilyen történet még a sci-fi kategóriába tartozott, hiszen Armstrong csak 1969-ben tette meg az első lépést a Holdon.

Ring the Bells


It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . . For most people, that means a time of celebration, relaxation and inebriation, but not for the staff of The Stranger Times. While a book club meeting ending in a triple murder isn’t unprecedented, it is at least noteworthy. It quickly emerges that this is no ordinary book-club-triple-murder either, as it features a librarian possessed by a chaotic entity who has broken through from another dimension and is hellbent on vengeance. He’s made a list, but he’s not checking it twice as the whole of humanity is on it. Who would want to summon such a thing? And how is anyone going to be able to send it back?As if that wasn’t enough to be dealing with, a shocking revelation about a member of The Stranger Times team’s past brings family together, but not in a way that’s ever going to make it into a Hallmark movie.Featuring demonically possessed Santas, blood-thirsty books and the ghost of a legendary nightclub, it’s beginning to look a lot like a Christmas apocalypse . . . Ring the Bells is the fifth book in the award-winning, critically acclaimed and laugh-out-loud funny The Stranger Times series.The reviewers loved Relight My Fire: ''McDonnell''s world is transgressively hilarious, grimly banal and beguilingly warm. Of course there''s a story that the intrepid journalists of The Stranger Times have to tease out: grave-robbing, cryogenics, a very angry witch, and a washed-up indie legend looking for a lost album, but the real joy lies in the pitfalls and pratfalls of getting there.'' DAILY MAIL''An absolute riot of a read.'' DAILY EXPRESS''Laugh-out-loud funny and full of colourful characters.'' DAILY MIRROR''It’s no secret that here at SciFi Towers we’re massive fans of the Stranger Times series by C. K. McDonnell.'' SciFiNOW''I loved the dry and embedded humour of this book, it''s the stuff of life . . . the whole thing is great fun.'' SFCROSWNEST''Relight My Fire is perhaps the best since the original.''
