Lobo: Incident na pánských záchodcích, 2. vydání
Lobo má plné ruce práce – musí ochránit zábavní park, zařídit si setkání na toaletách, účastnit se motorkářských závodů, chytit taxíka a to ze všeho nejhorší... oslavit své narozeniny! Ano, všechno skončí masakrem.
Nelítostný lovec lidí, Velkej šéf, profesionální drsoň a heavymetalový psychopat v jedné osobě se vrací! Člověk, který oddělal Boha, Santu Clause i Velikonočního králíčka, opět vyráží do akce. A jeho další supernáročný úkol bude... ochránit zábavní park.
Ne, vážně není rozumné dávat Lobovi cokoliv ochraňovat.
Kromě toho si Lobo bude muset odbýt jedno nepříjemné setkání na toaletách, zúčastnit se brutálních motorkářských závodů, vzít to taxíkem přes galaxii a nakonec provést to ze všeho nejhorší... oslavit své narozeniny!
Ano, všechno skončí masakrem.
Ale bude to sranda.
Cipruskoporsó
Nagynénje hosszan tartó, súlyos betegségét követő halála után Elinor Carlisle hatalmas vagyont örököl. Ám lehet, hogy mindezt már nem tudja élvezni, ugyanis gyilkosság vádjával áll a bíróság előtt. Ő az egyetlen gyanúsított, mivel féltékenységéből adódóan kizárólag neki lehetett oka a fiatal és szép Mary Gerrard, Laura néni felolvasónőjének a megölésére. A vádat csak súlyosbítja, hogy nagynénje – közvetlenül a halála előtt – módosítani akarta a végrendeletét Mary javára. Az indíték egyértelmű, minden Elinor ellen szól – de akad valaki, aki váltig hisz Elinor ártatlanságában: Peter Lord, Laura néni kezelőorvosa. A doktor, hogy megmentse Elinort a már biztosnak látszó ítélettől, nem kisebb szakértőt bíz meg a védelem oldalán, mint a nagy Hercule Poirot-t.
Curious Cats and Fantastical Felines
For thousands of years, cats and humankind have been inextricably intertwined. From the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Bastet to the cat demon Yokai of Japan, people have been fascinated, enthralled and horrified in equal measure by everything feline-related.
Throughout history, cats have been revered and reviled and everything in between. Worshipped as divine, blamed for plague and pestilence, or labelled as the demonic companions of witches - whether fair or foul, no other animal has attracted such consistent attention, a fact strongly illustrated by the vast number of myths, legends, sayings, superstitions and tales that exist regarding these enigmatic creatures.
Today, mankind is no less under the feline thrall, with cat memes, videos and celebrity cat accounts numbering amongst the highest-ranking entertainment across the internet. Unknown to many, this cultural fascination has a deep and rich history that spans continents and millennia. Discover the roots of this age-old captivation with our feline counterparts and why they have been loved - or otherwise - by so many.
Tealevelek szárnyán
Megrendítő történet egy fiatal kínai nőről, aki ősei csodálatos teatermesztési hagyományában találja meg élete célját.
A világtól elzárt hegyi faluban Li-yan és családjának életét az évszakok váltakozása és a teatermesztés határozza meg. Az ősi rituálék világába zárt akha emberek generációk óta ugyanúgy élnek, míg nem váratlanul megjelenik a falu kapujában egy idegen férfi...
Az idegen érkezésének nyomán minden felbolydul, s semmi sem lehet már ugyanúgy, mint régen. Li-yan, aki egyike a közösség kevés tanult lányának, elkezdi elutasítani azokat a szokásokat, amelyek addigi életét formálták. Amikor pedig házasságon kívüli gyermeke születik, súlyos döntésre szánja rá magát: szembefordul az ősi hagyományokkal...
Vajon begyógyulhatnak-e fájó lelki sebeink, s átírhatjuk-e a tradíciók által ránk kényszerített szerepeket? A Tealevelek szárnyán gyönyörűen megírt történet gyökerekről, kultúrákról, gyászról és a láthatatlan, ám elszakíthatatlan érzelmi kötelékekről.
„– Különleges képességeid vannak – folytatja. – Nem úgy értem, hogy boszorkány vagy rókaszellem lennél. És sosem vonzódtál túlzottan a gyógyításhoz vagy a mágiához sem. Inkább íma Matára hasonlítasz, aki életet adott az akháknak, aki lerázta a béklyóit, és azt mondta: „Nem fogadom el a balszerencsémet”. Aki az éles elméje, jó szíve és kitartása révén minden akadályt legyőzött.”
A History of Horror, Fear, and the Uncanny
Take a step - if you dare - into the shadows, and discover the blood-curdling history of horror across the world in this gruesomely illustrated title.
A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny explores the dark and eerie landscapes of horror down the centuries - from prehistoric death rituals to modern interpretations in art, literature, and film.
In this petrifying book, you will find:
A complete global history of the subject - from ancient visions of the Underworld and horror in fairytales to Gothic horror and "creepypasta" tales
More than 350 stunning full-colour images combined with engaging and accessible text
Profiles of infamous supernatural creatures - from ghosts and demons to banshees and changelings, and from Grendel to Baba Yaga and the Morrigan to the Golem
Profiles of the scariest books and films of all time - from novels by Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Stephen King to movies like The Exorcist, The Shining, and Alien
…in a stunning, giftable package with a specially commissioned cover artwork and gorily printed page edges.
Discover how our experience and understanding of fear and terror have evolved through the ages, beginning with the ancient visions of a hellish Underworld. Encounter terrifying figures like Medusa and the Babylonian demon Pazuzu. And tread carefully through the medieval world, where a fear of the unknown stoked apocalyptic terror around the Black Death and gave rise to the danse macabre and the demonology of the Malleus Maleficarum.
Delve into the folklore that gave birth to creatures of the night - from vampires and werewolves to the Japanese Kappa water demon and the cannibalistic Wendigo of Indigenous American lore. Witness the emergence of Gothic literature, with the terrifying and genre-defining works of authors like Mary Shelley, H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James. And learn how the 20th century saw a new wave of terror unleashed through Expressionist art, monsters in the movies, "body horror" films, and the "folk horror" revival.
Whether you are a dedicated horror aficionado or simply curious, A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny isn't just for Halloween… It is a thrilling - chilling - journey into the heart of darkness.

Touki Bouki
Djibril Diop Mambéty’s exuberant, inventive and urgent film Touki Bouki (The Journey of the Hyena) (1973) follows a young couple, Mory (Magaye Niang) and Anta (Mareme Niang), who dream of leaving their home in Dakar, Senegal for an imagined better life in Paris. Rosalind Galt’s insightful study analyses Touki Bouki’s cinematic worlds, from its narrative of postcolonial migration to its influence by international film style, both nonetheless grounded in African visual cultures and critical perspectives. Touki Bouki explores the intertwined histories of the postcolonial and the transnational, showing how the aesthetic and political ideas found in the experimentation of cinematic modernisms and New Waves are as African as they are European. Galt’s study interweaves a conceptual framework of world cinema studies and anti/decolonial theory with close analysis of Touki Bouki’s innovative audiovisual forms and its representations of desire and identity in postcolonial Senegal. Providing a detailed reading of the film’s themes and cinematic style, she argues for its classic status and for its long-lasting influence on world cinema.
