Červená karkulka musí zemřít
Inspektorka Lyla Rondellová pracuje na případu svého života. Má za úkol vyšetřit sérii záhadných úmrtí a zatím má jedinou stopu – to, že každé z nich se zdá být založeno na jiné klasické pohádce. Tisk si na případu, kterému dal název „Vraždy Grimmova Rozparovače“, parádně smlsne.
A jak se mrtvoly hromadí, celý Lylin svět se obrací vzhůru nohama. Krvavá stopa vraha sahá hluboko do její vlastní minulosti, a když odhalí pravdu, nic už nebude jako dřív.
Tváří v tvář skutečnosti, že vše, co zná, je fikce, musí Lyla zapojit vlastní kreativitu, pokud chce zabránit dalším vraždám...
Zloději těl
Mladý šlechtic James Willoughby přijíždí do Edinburghu studovat medicínu. Tamní univerzita nabízí vše, po čem touží – kromě možnosti pitvat lidské tělo. Musí se tedy přihlásit na jednu ze soukromých škol, kterou si však z finančních důvodů nemůže dovolit.
V zoufalství uzavře dohodu s asistentem proslulého anatoma Aneurinem „Nyem“ MacKinnonem, který mu nabídne práci a tím i přístup ke studiu. James si však brzy uvědomí, že uzavřel smlouvu s ďáblem. Nye totiž patří k vykradačům hrobů. James je Nyem okouzlený a přidá se k jeho skupině nechvalně známé krádežemi mrtvol sloužících jako anatomické vzorky. James se tedy stává zlodějem těl, a nejenže je od té doby neustále jednou nohou ve vězení, ale navíc se spolu s Nyem a jeho lidmi ocitne uprostřed války zlodějských gangů, které se neštítí ani chladnokrevné vraždy.

But my wolves won't stop either. They'll do anything to bring me home and end the one who has me in his sights.
Only there are more monsters and enemies than we ever could've imagined, and when new secrets are revealed, it will take everything we have to defeat them…

The sixth in Elizabeth Helen's Amazon top 5 and Sunday Times bestselling Beasts of the Briar series, a spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with enchanted fae, morally gray characters, a stupidly hot villain, and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All five of them.
Once upon a time, I used to look upon the sun. Now, there is only darkness.
And the Prince of Thorns.
I am his captive, his thrall. Caspian, the man he used to be, is nothing but a memory. And if the Prince of Thorns gets his way, all of the Enchanted Vale-and the four other princes bound to my heart-will fall to ruin.
As I navigate the treacherous Below, my mates risk everything to reach me. But the Green Flame is spreading across the realms, corrupting all it touches. If they can't fight it, Caspian won't be the only one consumed by its power.
It's now or never. Either we defeat the god who seeks to tear our world apart...or we die together, becoming nothing but shadow.

Cool Machine
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.
Az utolsó szimulákrum
A hatalom csak eggyel osztható.
A háború dúlta Földön a sors és a körülmények egy különös csoportot hoznak össze: egy fasisztát, aki államcsínyt tervez, egy zongoristát, aki az elméjével játszik a hangszeren, egy first ladyt, aki mindent a kezében akar tartani, és az utolsó praktizáló pszichiátert. Miközben a társadalom tetején állók a hatalomért marakodnak, az elnyomott alsó osztály kezd magához térni a kábaságból, egyre többet kérdez, és egyre inkább helyzete és ereje tudatára ébred.
Philip K. Dick regényében összeesküvés összeesküvést ér, miközben úgy olvashatunk történetet időutazásról, pszichoterápiáról, telekinézisről, androidokról és neandervölgyi mutánsokról, ahogy soha korábban.

Hidden in plain sight within Arcana Academy, Clara walks the dagger's edge. Revelations about Oricalis threaten everything she thought she knew, and every choice she makes is the difference between salvation and ruin.

Pandemie ve šťastné obci
Satirická próza o době, kdy se svět uzavřel — a jedno město se pomalu zbláznilo.
Fiktivní město Toulava se po příchodu pandemie mění v místo plné strachu, absurdních pravidel, sousedské podezíravosti i nečekaných příležitostí. Jednotlivé povídky propojuje postava Rolanda, podivínského mladíka a pozorného pozorovatele, který sleduje, jak se obyvatelé „šťastné obce“ vyrovnávají s lockdownem, panikou, konspiracemi, distanční výukou, online schůzemi i vlastními slabostmi.
Jakub Marek zachycuje pandemickou dobu s ironií, nadhledem a lehce hořkou příchutí. Pandemie ve šťastné obci je kniha o tom, co jsme všichni zažili, ale možná si to už raději pamatujeme jinak: chvíle komické, trapné, mrazivé i lidsky dojemné.
Kniha je určena čtenářům české satirické prózy, těm, kteří se chtějí na nedávnou dobu podívat s odstupem, a všem, kdo mají rádi humor s výrazným společenským přesahem.
Boží mlýn s turbem: Zabíjení
Z temných mračen, která se nad lidstvem léta stahovala, konečně uhodilo. Většina světové populace podlehla vražednému viru. V agonii se zmítající civilizaci dorazila mimořádně silná série elektro-magnetických pulzů. Většina elektroniky byla nenávratně zničena. Státní struktury, policejní složky, armády, to všechno se rozpadlo. Svět, jak jsme ho znali, přestal existovat.
Dvaadvacet let po těchto událostech se osamělý muž vrací zpět do života a zjišťuje, že už tak osamělý není. Náhle se ocitá mezi přáteli. Smrt sice porazil, ale bez nich by byl stejně ztracený, a to i přesto, že se s jeho tělem něco děje a obdivuhodně rychle se hojí. Ovšem ne vše je zalité sluncem. Za humny doutná válka, kterou bude setsakra těžké když už ne vyhrát, tak alespoň neprohrát.
Drsný vědeckofantastický román z ponuré éry soumraku lidstva, kdy nožů není nikdy dost a kdy nejlepším přítelem člověka už dávno není pes, ale spolehlivá, dobře naolejovaná bouchačka. A protože zbraně jsou nebezpečné hračky, občas ukápne i nějaká ta kapka krve. Tahle vize nedaleké budoucnosti se vám líbit nebude.
A jestli ano, jste divní.

This Is the Place
This Is the Place is the sinister tale of an aged and lonely blackjack dealer living in Wendover, Nevada, and his love that leads him to do a terrible thing, and the story he tells to justify it to himselfSixty-four-feet tall and made of metal, the neon giant Wendover Will stands in front of the Stateline casino in Wendover, Nevada and faces east. The sign under him reads "This Is The Place." Over a hundred miles away in Utah, across the salt flats, stands the statue of Brigham Young, atop his monument, proclaiming the same thing, "This Is The Place."This Is The Place is a novel of love, perhaps doomed, told by an endearing misanthrope who may be delusional, but who has managed to coalesce his manias into an alternative understanding that lies somewhere between Wendover Will''s depravity and Brigham Young''s morality:"The dispute between Will and Brigham is not for me to settle, nor would I want it settled. The words hang over the salt flats, the most forsaken stretch of earth, a terrifying expanse of sheer space, white, like another planet, hard and smooth where nothing can live. This all sounds so grim! I''ve known joy and I''ll know it again. It''s just that it takes work to get up the words to talk about love."His love leads him to do a terrible thing, and he tells this story to justify himself. His words, seductive and convincing, draw the reader into a world where the supernatural takes on new meaning. It is a haunting journey to the extreme realities of Las Vegas and Salt Lake City and many places in between. Above all, it is an odyssey to the depths of love.
