Cthulhu hívása - (Különleges kiadás)


"A legirgalmasabb dolog a világon, azt hiszem, az, hogy az emberi elme képtelen kapcsolatot teremteni a különálló események között. A tudatlanság nyugalmas szigetén élünk a végtelenség fekete óceánjának közepén, s nem úgy rendeltetett, hogy messzire utazzunk innen." Az ismeretlen iszonyattal való szembesülés és a megnevezhetetlen borzongás egyik legnagyobb mestere, Howard Phillips Lovecraft mára kultikussá vált művei közül kiemelkedik az 1926-ban megjelent Cthulhu hívása, amelynek címszereplője egy óceánok mélyén nyugvó, hatalmas szörnyistenség, aki évmilliók óta vár a visszatérésre. Az ősi istenek kultusza a mai napig megtalálható a világban, erről tanúskodik a kötet másik története, az Árnyék Innsmouth fölött. A Troubadour Books háromrészes Lovecraft-sorozatának első kötetében a fordító, Kornya Zsolt előszavával vezeti be az olvasót a szerző egyszerre hátborzongató és delejesen vonzó világába.

Man Who Sold Honours


Paying for a peerage - an illegal practice - feels like a very modern form of corruption, one that both the Labour and Conservative parties have been happy to indulge in at times during the early twenty-first century. Except, of course, it was happening almost a century ago.Meet Maundy Gregory, actor, journalist, publishing proprietor, conman, embezzler, MI5 spy - and the man you went to see if you had the money to pay for a peerage in the post-First World War years.Cutting a dash across high society of the 1920s - he was in attendance at the wedding of the future George VI - the immaculately oiled and overdressed Gregory would happily pockets thousands for playing Mr Fixit for wannabe knights and lords, and swell the coffers of Lloyd George''s Liberal Party to millions of pounds.Business was brisk, and business was brazen. Visitors to his lavish office on Parliament Street, with a direct line to ''Number 10'', would be wined and dined and, after paying up, leave satisfied that they would be next on the list for a knighthood or barony. Nothing could be guaranteed, of course, and it was a strictly no refunds business. But Gregory was also suspected of being something else, to add to his impressive list of accomplishments: a murderer. As the political winds changed, the debts mounted up and the walls closed in around him, he somehow managed to inherit his mistress''s not inconsiderable savings when she scribbled a new will on the back of a menu and was suddenly taken ill ... In The Man Who Sold Honours, Stephen Bates lifts the lid on the truth about this long-forgotten character who remains the only person ever to be successfully prosecuted under the sale of honours act of 1925. A powerful preview of the scandals to come in Britain in recent years, this is the story of the original honours tout - a riches-to-rags tale of greed, corruption and murder in the interwar years.

The Leather Boys


Outsider Classics is Dead Ink''s resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcasts. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. Dick and Reggie are ''leather boys'', working-class London teens with an affinity for leather jackets and motorcycles who become friends through their involvement in a gang. For Dick, the money he gets from the gang''s thefts helps to support his ailing grandmother; for Reggie, membership in the gang provides relief from an unhappy home life and a loveless marriage. When Reggie decides to leave his unfaithful wife and move in with Dick, the two soon discover their feelings for each other are much stronger than mere friendship. As they make plans for their future together, will they find the happiness they seek, or is their love doomed to end in tragedy? The first novel to offer an authentic portrayal of love between ordinary, working-class young men, Gillian Freeman''s The Leather Boys is a groundbreaking classic of gay fiction that remains moving and compelling today. Freeman''s novel and its 1964 film adaptation played a vital part in liberalizing British attitudes towards homosexuality.
