DC Pride: The Heart Wants
The Eisner, Ringo, and GLAAD award-winning DC Pride celebrates its fifth anniversary with an all-new anthology in an all-new format, featuring stories that celebrate community when it s needed most! Contributors to DC Pride 2025 include writers Tim Sheridan, Vita Ayala, Josh Trujillo, Sam Maggs, Maya Houston, and Jude Ellison S. Doyle, and artists Emilio Pilliu, Skylar Patridge, A.L. Kaplan, and Vincent Cecil. When a 100-year-old queer speakeasy-turned-bar-turned-restaurant-and-community-space in Gotham announces that it will soon be closing its doors, generations of patrons come to pay their respects including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. After all, this is the place where he and his first love, Johnny Ladd, long ago carved their names into the basement wall before it all went to hell and a love lost is never a love forgotten. But they weren t the only ones to put their names on the wall over the years, and suddenly queer heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them find themselves spirited away to a strange alternate dimension that seems to provide everything they could possibly want but at what cost? In this story of interweaving narratives, the vanished will need to unite if they hope to escape that which ensnares them in this triumphant and timely story of community amid chaos!

The Last Run
On the bracing edges of Alaska, a single mother is driven to secure her legacy in a powerful novel of family, forgiveness, and finding one’s place in the world by the author of Point of Direction. It’s been years since Ellie fished the Alaskan coastline—not since her mother died. But when she finds her father beat up behind the local bar, she learns he’s done the unforgivable: gambled away the family’s commercial fishing boat—her five-year-old son’s inheritance and the life she longs to reclaim. For nefarious reasons of his own, the bookie gives them one season to earn the money to buy it back. Ellie agrees to fish with her father, Pete, bringing her son, Drew, along as they chase the slim hope of paying off the debt. She’s no stranger to backbreaking work and little sleep; what she’s never been good at is accepting help—or trusting anyone, especially a secretive homesteader with demons of his own. Ellie’s growing attraction and the dangerous waters are the least of her worries. She’s hiding secrets from everyone and, as the date with the bookie draws closer, she is at risk of losing it all.

So Young, So Great
When Bob Feller hit the Major League Baseball scene, he instantly became one of the most famous athletes in the country. Everything Feller did made headlines, primarily because anything he did had never been done before, especially by someone his age. To this day, Feller is the only pitcher to have signed his first professional contract and played in the Major League while still in high school. By the age of seventeen he had set an American League record for most strikeouts in a game, and by nineteen, he had broken his own Major League strikeout record. So Young, So Great covers the first six years of Feller's career, from 1936 to 1941, from his discovery in the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, as a high school junior, to his immediate entry into the Major Leagues with no minor league detours, the extensive media coverage of his every move and his box office appeal to fans, and his record-breaking feats up to his enlistment into World War II at age twenty-two. Before signing a contract with the Cleveland Indians, Feller was a prospect of such magnitude that Major League scouts were fighting in hotel lobbies to get to Feller, still a minor, to sign a Major League contract. His high school graduation was broadcast nationally on radio. And when he had to have his wisdom teeth removed, a photographer and reporter were in the room to document it. By focusing on the first six years of Feller's career, So Young, So Great captures in revelatory detail Feller's unprecedented arrival, as a high school teenager, on the Big League stage, and his rapid ascension into one of the game's all-time greats.
Cities of Dust and Mud
This book explores the social costs of urban change and the limits of modernity through a comparative study of two Balkan cities, Belgrade and Sofia. Between 1820 and 1920, both cities grew from small Ottoman towns into large national capitals, as their bourgeois elites envisioned new, urban societies on the European borderlands. This book traces the lofty ambitions and dire consequences of this project: situated on the periphery of global capital flows, elite-led attempts at remaking Balkan capitals into European cities relied on dispossession, brutal labor control, and real estate speculation, while failing to achieve their goals of exponential growth. Drawing on a rich array of archival sources, Miloš Jovanovic considers the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Belgrade, municipal corruption in Sofia, anxieties over sex work and the regulation of intimacy, and attempts at creating docile workers through policing and prisons. Bringing working people to the forefront, he shows how the modernity envisioned by elites failed to transform their lives for the better, and how urban residents developed a nostalgia for the Ottoman city as a critique of their contemporary moment. Going beyond the limits of national frameworks, this book transforms our understanding of Balkan history, national modernization, and the role of fantasy in capitalist societies, offering keen insights for today's era of growing inequality.
Az örökkévaló (Különleges kiadás)
Egy legenda. Egy hazugság. Egy felejthetetlen szerelem.
Ez a történet ott kezdődik, ahol majd véget is ér: a tiszafa alatt. Ez az ősi fa oly hatalmasra nőtt, hogy egy külön világot alkot; azt beszélik, a lombja alatt másképp telik az idő. Miután egy árva lány kihúz egy kardot a kérgéből, sir Örökkévaló Una néven lovaggá és nemzete legnagyobb hősévé válik.
Évszázadokkal később Owen Mallory, a bukott katona és nehézségekkel küszködő tudós beleszeret Una legendájába. A nő története háborúba, poros levéltárak mélyére, végül pedig egyenesen a múltba vezeti. Owen azért utazik vissza az időben, hogy Una biztosan beteljesítse a sorsát... még ha ez minden alkalommal össze is töri a férfi szívét.
Kettejük élete különös módon kapcsolódik össze: arra ítéltettek, hogy újra és újra eljátsszák ugyanazt a hősies tragédiát, hogy a legenda ezer év múltán is fennmaradjon.
Az egyik találkozásuk során azonban valami megváltozik, és ez hatással lehet a végzetükre is. Mindketten rájönnek arra, hogy egy új befejezés írásához nemcsak magát a történelmet kell megváltoztatniuk, hanem azt is, amit eddig magukról hittek. És ehhez életük legnehezebb küzdelmét kell megvívniuk.
Alix E. Harrow, a Tízezer ajtó és A Starling-ház sikerszerzője eddigi legambiciózusabb műve igazi csúcspont az életművében, letehetetlen könyv a legendákról, szerelemről és árulásról – arról, amiért fantasyt olvasunk.

Bionauták
A Sirius A csillag körül keringő karneusz nem bolygó és nem aszteroida: egy hatszáz kilométer átmérőjű, kőzetbőrrel védett élőlény, amelynek testéből az emberiség évtizedek óta bányássza a különböző luxusélelmiszerek, kozmetikumok és gyógyszerek alapanyagát. A kitermelésből született meg a Venter-dinasztia multimilliárdos vállalatbirodalma és a Föld kényelmes hazugsága, hogy a karneusz nem érző lény.
Yis Venter, a család ifjú örököse a csillaghoz érkezve egy életre szóló kalandot remél: végre találkozhat a legendás űrfelfedezővel, a húsbányászatot irányító Julia Pollarddal, és bejuthat a karneusz belsejébe, ahová a legtöbb ember sosem merészkedne.
Ám nem tudja, hogy Pollardot csempészettel vádolják meg, és a családja nem látogatóba érkezik, hanem elszámoltatni a nőt. Pollard azonban nem tolvaj, és nem adja meg magát. Felismeri, hogy Yis védelmet jelenthet a számára, ezért menekülése során magával ragadja a fiút.
Miközben Yis és Pollard a karneusz egyre veszélyesebb részeibe sodródik, a húsvilág mélyén idegen szervek, makrofág ragadozók, eltűnt expedíciók és titkos bázisok mögött felsejlik egy fenyegetés, amelynek árnyékában a Föld hatalmi játszmái jelentéktelenné zsugorodnak.
Markovics Botond új regénye grandiózus sci-fi-odisszea a hús univerzumában. Egy sodró tempójú történet a felfedezés megszállottságáról, a személyes áldozatokról és egy idegen entitásról, amely talán egyfajta ítélet az egész emberiség felett.
