More Than This
A boy called Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he is here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighbourhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust and completely abandoned. What's going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this...

"An ambitious novel with an engaging voice, a clever plot and some terrific writing."--New York Times Book Review
"No one should be talking about the shocking twist ending. What we can talk about is...[Lockhart's] razor-sharp portrayal of a family for whom keeping up appearances is paramount and, ultimately, tragic."--The Chicago Tribune

Frankenstein
Since it was first published in 1818, Mary Shelley's seminal novel has generated countless print, stage and screen adaptations, but none has ever matched the power and philosophical resonance of the original. Composed as part of a challenge with Byron and Shelley to conjure up the most terrifying ghost story, Frankenstein narrates the chilling tale of a being created by a bright young scientist and the catastrophic consequences that ensue. Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty and the monstrosity inherent to man.

It Can't Happen Here
"It Can t Happen Here" is the only one of Sinclair Lewis s later novels to match the power of "Main Street, " "Babbitt," and "Arrowsmith." A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called a message to thinking Americans by the" Springfield Republican" when it was published in 1935, "It Can t Happen Here "is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today s news. With an Introduction by Michael Meyer and a New Afterword"
Üresek városa
Ransom Riggs Floridában nőtt fel, jelenleg Los Angelesben él. Diplomát a Kenyon College-ban és a Dél-kaliforniai Film- és Televíziós Egyetemen szerzett. Néhány díjnyertes rövidfilmet készített. Másodállásban blogger és újságíró. Első regénye a Magyarországon 2012-ben megjelent Vándorsólyom kisasszony különleges gyermekei. Tíz különleges gyerek és egy különleges madár menekül három evezős csónakon 1940. szeptember 4-én Cairnholm apró szigetéről a walesi szárazföld felé, amikor csatahajók bukkannak fel a láthatáron. Csakhogy a gyerekek nem háború elől, hanem a hétköznapi emberek által elképzelni sem tudott szörnyek, az üresrémek elől szeretnének biztonságot találni egy újabb (vagy régebbi) időhurokban, ahol ugyanazt a napot kell megélniük az idők végezetéig, de nem fenyegeti őket sem öregség, sem betegség, sem ellenség. Gondviselőjük, oltalmazójuk, az alakváltó Vándorsólyom kisasszony a szörnyek elől menekülve madáralakot öltött, szárnya megsérült, így se repülni, se újra emberi alakot ölteni nem képes. Ha sürgősen nem segít rajta egy hozzá hasonló, a különleges képességekkel megáldott/megvert gyerekeket oltalmazó madár-asszony, soha többé nem válhat emberré. Ifjú védencei mindent megtesznek érte, ám a háború sújtotta brit földön nemcsak német katonák, de vérszomjas lidércek és üresrémek is nyüzsögnek. Ransom Riggs különleges hősei, a szörnyeket látni képes Jacob, a puszta kezével tüzet gyújtó Emma, a láthatatlan Millard, a bunkó, de élettelen tárgyakat vagy halottak feltámasztani képes Enoch és társaik visszatérnek ebben a váratlan és fantasztikus fordulatokkal teli, ismét ritka, régi fényképekkel illusztrált, különleges regényben.

East of Eden
There is only one book to a man.' Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden. Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley, California, this powerful, often brutal novel, follows the interwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations hopelessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here Steinbeck created some of his most memorable characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of indentity; the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love's absence.
