Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels.

Sayuri - Teljes gyűjtemény
Megbocsáthatatlan bűnök, egy eltörölhetetlen átok és egy ártatlan család...
A héttagú Kamiki-család hosszas kutakodás után végre rálelt álmai otthonára. Hamar be is költöznek a gyönyörű, tágas, domb tetején álló házba, ám nem sok idejük marad kiélvezni a megtalált nyugalmat. Rejtélyes, megmagyarázhatatlan éjszakai zajok riogatják, borzalmas rémálmok gyötrik őket, és a rettenet megfoghatatlan érzése teszi pokollá napjaikat, ahogy rádöbbennek: rajtuk kívül van még valaki (vagy valami) az otthonukban.
A sötét, kíméletlen jelenlét ereje napról napra fokozódik, a családnak pedig nem marad más választása - ha életben akarnak maradni, fel kell venniük a harcot a gonosz entitással, amíg még nem késő.
A páratlan zseni, Oshikiri Rensuke félelmetes horrormangájában végre eredeti, japán kísértettörténetet élvezhetnek a magyar olvasók. Gyűjteményes kiadás extra fejezettel!
Awakened
A hidden power. A sinister force. A mystery she can't ignore. In a near-future London where technology affects everything from our bodies to our politics, journalist Pels Badmus wants to make a real difference. She's desperate to solve a spate of disappearances of young Black kids-including her friend's brother. But her boss doesn't want to hear it. Instead, he assigns her to cover the "unreasonable" protests thousands of miles away in Benin, against culturally oblivious tourists travelling to partake in sacred Spirit Vine rituals. Pels soon finds herself in West Africa, ignoring her boss's motives in assigning her to this piece and hoping to use it as leverage later. She's also trying to ignore the strange, ethereal dreams she's been having... However, when Pels takes the Spirit Vine herself, she experiences something mind-boggling. Something that points to an unfulfilled destiny that could change the course of her life. But first she must return home and confront an otherworldly conspiracy related to the missing children. Because she may just be the only one able to stop it. A bold imagining of our future through the lens of ancient spirituality, Awakened is a page-turning fable about a Black woman coming into her power, perfect for fans of N.K Jemisin and Netflix's Supacell.
Tarantula
Winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger in France and the Premio de la Critica in SpainConversation-starting and prize-winning international fiction: an extraordinary meditation on violence, conspiracy and the many complex afterlives of the Holocaust 'Audacious' Observer'Provocative' Times Literary Supplement'Extraordinary' Olivia LaingEduardo and his brother have been living in the US for three years when their parents send them back to Guatemala for the holidays. It is 1984 and their native country, in the midst of a violent civil war, feels newly alien to them – their Spanish faltering, already half-forgotten. Their grandfather collects the boys from the airport and drives them into the mountains, depositing them at what they’re told is a Jewish summer camp. At the camp, the children meet a counsellor called Samuel Blum: a handsome young man with sky-blue eyes who knows about all kinds of things. He shows them how to make a survival shelter out of branches and leaves, and how to kindle a fire using a glass bottle. He sings songs with them and plays games. But he also trains them to march in rank, and salute, and dive for cover. He teaches them the Hebrew words for ‘grenade’ and ‘soldier’ and ‘silence’. On the fourth day, everything changes. The boys are shaken from their beds at dawn. A terrifying figure, uniformed in black, looms over them, and beyond him is the sound of screaming outside. Eduardo looks into the stranger’s face – it is Samuel Blum, but his sky-blue eyes look different now. In his hand he carries a club. Crawling down his left arm is a huge tarantula. Thought-provoking and powerfully ambivalent, Tarantula is an extraordinary meditation on the many complex afterlives of the Holocaust. It is a novel about individual and collective inheritance, individual and collective violence; about memory, trauma, connection and estrangement. It asks what it means to be a Jew in the long wake of the twentieth century, and how the past lives on in the present.

We Do Not Part
Like a long winter’s dream, this haunting and visionary new novel from 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang takes us on a journey from contemporary South Korea into its painful history.
Beginning one morning in December, We Do Not Part traces the path of Kyungha as she travels from the city of Seoul into the forests of Jeju Island, to the home of her old friend Inseon. Hospitalized following an accident, Inseon has begged Kyungha to hasten there to feed her beloved pet bird, who will otherwise die.
Kyungha takes the first plane to Jeju, but a snowstorm hits the island the moment she arrives, plunging her into a world of white. Beset by icy wind and snow squalls, she wonders if she will arrive in time to save the bird – or even survive the terrible cold which envelops her with every step. As night falls, she struggles her way to Inseon’s house, unaware as yet of the descent into darkness which awaits her.
There, the long-buried story of Inseon’s family surges into light, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive documenting a terrible massacre on the island seventy years before.
We Do Not Part is a hymn to friendship, a eulogy to the imagination and above all an indictment against forgetting.

The Infamous Gilberts
''Completely captivating: I absolutely loved it. A compelling, ingenious, mischievous blend of tragedy, comedy and intrigue'' Nina Stibbe‘We shall be forgotten.’ he said. ‘We shall be lost. They will scrub us away like a set of dirty fingerprints on a plastic kettle.’The crumbling Gothic mansion of Thornwalk, long-term home of the Gilbert family, is being handed over to a chain of luxury ‘historic’ hotels. Millions will be spent in its restoration. But for every ‘improvement’, what will be lost? What value can there possibly be in a threadbare carpet, a tarnished spoon and a thousand empty jam jars?Before the hotel people arrive, with their clipboards and their skips and their bottles of bleach, Maximus, loyal guardian of the Gilberts’ legacy, invites us on a final tour of the once-stately home, where each room holds a secret. From the bolt on the blue room door to the tiny dents in the bars at the nursery window … these are the keys that will unlock the lives of the five fatherless Gilbert children.A frustrated romantic, a stubborn traditionalist, a dreamer, a diva and an explorer: The Infamous Gilberts will be cast adrift on the irresistible tides of the twentieth century, buoyed by love, buffeted by loss, and tangled together in an unputdownable story where the lines between eccentricity and madness, cruelty and love become hilariously, heartbreakingly blurred.

Syn medvědího otce
Aby se vyhnul nebezpečí, je muž v lese nucen zabít medvědici. Jejího mláděte je mu však líto, a tak jej vezme domů ke své ženě. Tento akt milosrdenství a lítosti rychle zasáhne do osudu páru, jehož láska je podrobena zkoušce narozením neobvyklého dítěte... Syn medvědího otce, němý grafický román francouzského autora Nicolase Presla, vypráví dojemný příběh o soužití lidí a zvířat. Mimořádně sugestivní a poetický, ale místy také hořký příběh o životě potomka, který není ani člověkem, ani zvířetem, se mění ve fantastickou alegorii, která beze slov hovoří o univerzálních tématech lásky a zklamání, odpuštění a nespravedlnosti, sounáležitosti a odcizení. S přesvědčivým a dovedným vizuálním stylem, který čerpá z umělecké tradice mezi dvěma světovými válkami, autor utkal emocionálně nabité a dramaticky poutavé vyprávění o věčném hledání smyslu a identity.

A megtorlás játéka - Hades 2.
Hades, a holtak istene nem áll senki oldalára, és nem szegi meg a szabályokat. Elveiben nincs kivétel - sem isten, sem halandó, de még a szeretője, Persephone, a tavasz istennője kedvéért sem.
A félelem általában elejét veszi a megtorlásnak. De most nem elég. Amikor Hera, a nők istennője felajánlja Hadesnak a lehetőséget, hogy segítsen neki megbuktatni Zeust, ő nemet mond. Hera azonban
nem viseli jól az elutasítást: büntetésből próbák sorozatára ítéli a holtak istenét.
Mitikus szörnyetegek lemészárlása és halálos ereklyék visszaszerzése - minden egyes próbatétel lehetetlenebbnek tűnik az előzőnél, és egyre inkább elvonja Hades figyelmét Persephonéról.
Csakhogy a tavasz istennője is saját tragédiájával küzd, amely megingatja abban a hitében, hogy lehet-e egyáltalán az Alvilág királynője.
