The Library at Hellebore
Dark academia meets cosmic horror in this murderous tale of betrayal and broken hearts at an elite academy for the gods and monsters of the world, perfect for fans of The Atlas Six, If We Were Villains and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.
The Hellebore Technical Institute for the Gifted is the premier academy for the dangerously powerful: the Anti-Christs and Ragnaroks, the world-eaters and apocalypse-makers.
Hellebore promises redemption, acceptance, and a normal life after graduation. At least, that’s what Alessa Li is told when she’s kidnapped and forcibly enrolled.
But there’s more to Hellebore than meets the eye. On graduation day, the faculty go on a ravenous rampage, feasting on Alessa’s class. Only Alessa and a group of her classmates escape the carnage. Trapped in the school’s library, they must offer a human sacrifice every night, or else the faculty will break down the door and kill everyone.
Bitchy! The Exasperating Existence of Midge McCracken
Midge McCracken is the abrasive, self-destructive pessimist every office has. Not to mince words about it, she''s a bitch: bitter, mistrustful, racist, and completely unfiltered in her words and thoughts (which, through the miracle of thought balloons, readers are privy to even more than Midge''s coworkers). But she comes by it honestly, growing up with hateful, racist parents, suffering sexual abuse as an adolescent, experiencing an unwanted pregnancy, etc. Did we mention that this is a comedy? Gregory''s unflinching sense of humour is the engine driving A Bitch''s Life. This mammoth collection includes all of Roberta Gregory''s riotous ''Bitchy Bitch'' stories, presenting a life from childhood into middle age, following the character through multiple decades. Along the way, Gregory''s wider cast of characters are introduced, notably Bitchy''s suffering and insufferable coworkers: the obnoxiously cheerful Sylvia (who never met a problem that positive vibes won''t cure); the upwardly mobile and power-hungry Pam (aka Bitchy''s boss); the intolerant, God-fearing Marcie; her hapless friend-with-benefits, Kenny; and many more. In 1976, Roberta Gregory released Dynamite Damsels - the first underground solo comic created and self-published by a woman. After contributing regularly to the influential anthologies Wimmen''s Comix and Gay Comix throughout the 1980s, she launched Naughty Bits in 1991 while working as a production artist at her publisher, Fantagraphics. It became the longest-running solo alternative comic book series by a female cartoonist, coming to an end in 2004 after an influential and pioneering 14-year, 40-issue run. The Bitchy Bitch stories remain the pinnacle of a historic career, and a highwater mark in comics and graphic novels over the past 40 years.

The Kind Hosts of Willie Wimmera
Willie Wimmera, an Aboriginal boy, was ten years old when clergyman Lloyd Chase brought him from Melbourne to Reading in 1851. Tragically, he became ill and died only a few months after his arrival. He is buried in Reading Old Cemetery, his grave marked ‘An Australian boy’.A member of the Wotjobaluk People from the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia, Willie couldn’t have been further from home – or in a place more different. What was he doing here? Who knew him and where did he live?A contemporary memoir, republished here for the first time, provides the starting point for this investigation. With information gleaned from the 1851 UK Census and other primary sources, Mary Chambers paints a fascinating picture of Willie Wimmera – creative, curious, affectionate, and sometimes rebellious – and his ‘kind hosts’, the people closest to him during the short time he spent in England.

Svatý Prokop
Inspirací pro vznik této knihy bylo výročí 820 let od Prokopova svatořečení. Podílel se na ní mezioborový tým historiků, archeologů, uměnovědců, filologů i teologů a přináší nové pohledy na život a kult tohoto významného českého patrona i na jím založený Sázavský klášter. V pěti celcích se zabývá například otázkou staroslověnské liturgie a písemnictví, novými archeologickými výzkumy a architekturou Sázavského kláštera i prokopským kultem. Čtenáře také provází vybranými ukázkami proměn kanonizačních procesů od nejstarších počátků až do současnosti. Samozřejmě se zastavuje také u Prokopovy velmi diskutované středověké kanonizace. To vše je navíc několika kapitolami doplněno o středoevropský kontext kultu světců. Na počátku promýšlení koncepce této prokopské knihy stál prof. Petr Sommer a její vytváření podporoval také Dominik kardinál Duka.
