Twelve-year-old Leah is nervous to attend sleepaway camp for the first time. She’s worried about meeting new friends, living out in the woods, and being away from her family - the totally normal, non-supernatural scary stuff that all new campers think about. But Leah didn’t expect to also have to fear the ghost in Cabin 13. It’s a good thing she brought Beverly, her beloved doll, for comfort... Between getting picked on by the older mean girls in her cabin, participating in a séance gone terribly wrong, and befriending (then unfriending) a possessed doll, Leah’s summer at Camp Cottontail goes from boring to straight-up spooky!

The fifth volume in The Privateersman Mysteries1795: The discovery of an abandoned Spanish merchant ship off the coast of America plunges the Ludlows into a far-reaching conspiracy fueled by jealousy, ambition, and nationalistic fervor. The Bucephalas lies trapped under the gaping muzzles of the forty-two-pounder Spanish guns of the New Orleans harbor fort. It quickly becomes clear that the corridors of the governor's residence are just as busy with treachery, double-dealing, and murder as the back alleys of the sweltering city outside. Harry Ludlow must win freedom for his ship in a deadly game played out in the dark woods of the American hinterland.

Come Sing for the Harrowing
From British and World Fantasy award-winning writer and editor Dan Coxon, Come Sing for the Harrowing is an uncanny folk horror collection for fans of John Langan and Robert Aickman. A young man working at a tourist attraction is singled out for unholy transformation, a gang of burglars are ambushed with something unworldly when they attempt to rob a local farm, and a daughter seeks revenge on her abusive father after his death. Invoking the sense of natural surreal found in Midsommar, these stories are always a little to the left of what’s expected. Weaving macabre contingencies into realities, Dan Coxon crafts unsettling and eerie worlds through hauntingly literary prose. Including a featured story from Ellen Datlow’s “Best of Horror” round-up and a foreword from Brian Evenson, Come Sing for the Harrowing will haunt your dreams and gnaw at you during the daylight.
The Good Pornographer
Walace Weiss, a famous fantasy novelist struggling with drug addiction, sets himself on a twofold quest: to finish his first book in more than a decade and, like the immortal elves of his stories, to try to remember what, in his long life, he should not have forgotten. While many have come to view Walace as a bad influence on children, literature, and himself, his impact sweeps across worlds both fantastic and real, leading to his establishing a new kingdom in his neglected McMansion, Summerheim. The result is a mock-epic in rehabilitation, starring such friends and enemies as Cal, Walace’s dealer and private jester; Dragon, a porn star turned guidance counselor; Epiphany, a lunch lady and stripper in recovery; her son, Tuffy, planning everyone’s funerals at age nine; Jackal, newly sober and in touch with his emotions for the first time; and Wolf, Walace’s socially withdrawn twin brother and reluctant doppelgÄnger. Brian Bouldrey piles on the laughs and absurdity alongside dollops of humanity. With brilliant recklessness, he praises and pokes fun at genres, conventions, fandoms, and critics, offering a Deadpool-like exploration of an upside-down world filled with epic quests, epic mistakes, and epic characters.
Básnici zo Stasi
V čase studenej vojny sa tajná služba Nemeckej demokratickej republiky rozhodla posvietiť si na spisovateľov, vycvičiť si vlastných lojálnych autorov, ktorí budú ochotne informovať príslušné orgány o zákulisnej atmosfére literárneho života, a získať na svoju stranu ľudí, pripravených sledovať svojich nekonformných kolegov. Z agentov sa stávali poeti, z poetov agenti.
Kniha nemecko-britského novinára Philipa Oltermanna rozpráva nepravdepodobný a málo známy príbeh básnickej tvorivej dielne na východonemeckom ministerstve pre štátnu bezpečnosť, známom ako Stasi. Na základe päťročného archívneho výskumu a rozhovorov s aktérmi a aktérkami autor nielen rekonštruuje pozadie a fungovanie tohto krúžku, ale zároveň približuje jeho špecifické miesto v bezpečnostnom aparáte krajiny socialistického bloku. Spojenie jednej z najsurovejších tajných polícií s jemným básnickým remeslom znie možno groteskne. Oltermann však ukazuje, že nemuseli mať od seba tak ďaleko, ako by sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Obzvlášť v prípade Nemeckej demokratickej republiky, krajiny s bohatým kultúrnym dedičstvom, výsadným postavením spisovateľov a literárneho umenia a tiež, slovami Georgea Steinera, s intenzívnym, priam religióznym vzťahom k písanému slovu.
The Valkyries
The Valkyries – fierce daughters of battle, riders of storm and shadow. They choose the slain and carry souls to glory, moving between mortal and divine. These fierce but angelic warrior goddesses escort half of those who have died in battle to Odin's hall of heroes: Valhalla. There they receive the heroes with horns of mead. But there is so much more to these heavily symbolic beings. The Valkyries are many and amorphous, some are named and famous – Brunhild (powerful and defiant), Gunnr (courageous in battle), Skuld (a Norn but also a Valkyrie) to name a few – while others exist in the shadows. This new collection features stories that tell the Valkyries’ own back stories, and echo their power: tales of fate, war, sacrifice and the mythic eternal. Stories selected from open submissions explore and expand on the classic tales and imagine completely new narratives. With an extensive new introduction to the ancient origins and stories, this powerful new title offers fresh perspectives on compelling characters.
Introductory essay by Nancy Marie Brown, and foreword by Jóhanna Katrín Fri?riksdóttir. The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: Ryaan Akmal, Don Bisdorf, Kay Hanifen, Ikechukwu Henry, E.K. Larson-Burnett, JB Riley, Laura Shenton, Nina Shepardson, Zac Sherman, D.L. Stille, Susanna Fraser Stone, Deborah Tapper, Benjamin Thomas, M.M. Williams, Mae Wilmarth, Johanna Wittenberg and Ernie Xu.

Asistovaná reprodukce - před podpisem informovaného souhlasu
Rozhodnutí, které mění život – průvodce světem asistované reprodukce pro odborníky i budoucí rodiče
V současné době, kdy se asistovaná reprodukce stává pro mnohé jedinou cestou k rodičovství, nabývá pojem „informovaný souhlas“ nového významu. Nejde již jen o podpis právního dokumentu, ale především o hluboké porozumění všem lékařským, psychologickým a etickým souvislostem.
Tato unikátní monografie pod vedením doc. Hany Konečné nabízí komplexní a srozumitelný vhled do problematiky, která dalece přesahuje hranice čisté medicíny. Autorský kolektiv – složený ze špiček české reprodukční medicíny, psychologů, sociologů, genealogů i právníků se zkušenostmi z Evropského soudu pro lidská práva – se věnuje tématům, která jsou v běžné praxi často opomíjena:
Lékařské a psychosociální výzvy: Jak se vyrovnat s nároky léčby, jakou roli hraje genetická diagnostika a co přináší fenomény jako social freezing či onkofertilita. Etika a právo: Objektivní pohled na dárcovství gamet, náhradní mateřství, transplantace dělohy či formy náhradní rodinné péče bez zbytečné ideologie. Budoucí identita dětí: Jak pomoci dětem počatým díky asistované reprodukci s tvorbou jejich vlastní identity a jak celý systém mění nástup komerčních DNA testů. Pro koho je kniha určena?
Pro odborníky: Zdravotníkům, psychologům, sociálním pracovníkům a pedagogům poslouží jako nepostradatelný manuál pro poskytování kvalitního poradenství a pochopení širších souvislostí. Pro zájemce o léčbu: Těm, kteří o asistované reprodukci či náhradním rodičovství uvažují a chtějí se rozhodovat zodpovědně, na základě faktů a s ohledem na budoucnost své rodiny. Kniha nehodnotí ani nepolemizuje – popisuje, vysvětluje a pomáhá orientovat se v jednom z nejcitlivějších témat moderní medicíny.

Neschopnost
Neschopnost, román spoluautora legendárního seriálu Červený trpaslík, se dokáže zaseknout pod kůži. Co před lety při prvním vydání působilo jako drsná satira, dnes čteme téměř jako dokument. Rob Grant popisuje svět, v němž se neschopnost stává normou, hloupost strategií a cynismus podmínkou přežití. Hrdina příběhu se snaží obstát v systému, který nepřeje inteligenci, empatii ani odpovědnosti — a zjišťuje, že největší trumfem je nebýt příliš schopný. Grantův humor je ostrý, nemilosrdný a přesný – ostatně jako vždy – a Neschopnost zraje jako víno: s dobou nevyčpěla, právě naopak. V éře manažerských frází, prázdných gest a algoritmického myšlení působí až znepokojivě aktuálně. Je to kniha o moci, selhání a lidské povaze — a o tom, proč svět často řídí ti nejméně vhodní lidé.
Germany's Jewish Problem
A leading German–Jewish peace activist dissects Germany’s authoritarian crackdown after Gaza. Since October 2023, the Frankfurt-based Jewish composer and activist Wieland Hoban has traveled the globe rallying opposition to the Gaza genocide. Now, in an urgent collection of writings at once blistering and revelatory, Hoban unravels the cultural neuroses and political cynicism that have made Germany an outlier in its support for Israeli crimes. From German gentiles confidently charging Israeli Jewish expats with antisemitism, to the German state’s decades-long project to stifle free speech under the guise of combating “antisemitism,” to German officials mobilising their historical responsibility for one genocide to justify participating in another—Hoban guides us through the grotesqueries of German “memory culture” and shows their lethal consequences. As the chair of a German–Jewish peace group whose bank accounts were repeatedly frozen and whose members have been arrested on Gaza solidarity protests, Hoban is uniquely placed to expose the oddities and outrages of Germany’s authoritarian turn. He also warns that what begins in Germany doesn’t stay there. From sabotaging international support for a Gaza ceasefire, to deporting foreign nationals on political grounds, to spearheading censorship laws across the EU, Hoban’s diagnosis of German pathologies demonstrates where the ideological weaponisation of “antisemitism” can lead.
How University Boards Work
A completely updated guide to helping university trustees become effective stewards of their institutions. Boards of trustees hold immense responsibility in guiding the future of colleges and universities. They hire and fire presidents, approve and monitor strategy, oversee finances, and safeguard institutional missions and autonomy. Yet many trustees enter this role with limited understanding of the distinct culture, structure, and values of the academic institutions they are selected to govern. In this second edition of How University Boards Work, former university president Robert A. Scott offers a practical and candid guide for navigating the complexities of academic board service. Originally published in 2018 and widely adopted in board development programs, this updated edition incorporates insights gleaned from years of training sessions, executive coaching, and a radically altered higher education landscape. Elements unique to this edition include:• A new preface addressing the contemporary pressures affecting higher education governance, including political interference, enrollment challenges, changing public attitudes, tuition pricing, overall costs and ROI, and post-pandemic adaptations. • Expanded guidance on key topics such as consent agendas, indicators of institutional vitality and vulnerability, risk assessment, and succession planning. • Updated index entries and terminology reflecting evolving governance concerns such as cybersecurity and free speech. With illustrative examples of effective and problematic board behavior and actionable suggestions for trustee development, How University Boards Work remains the definitive primer for trustees of both public and private institutions.

All the Cameras in My Room
Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist. Michael DeForge has been dissecting the comics visual language for more than a decade and continues his creative winning streak with his tenth book for D&Q and second collection of short stories, All the Cameras in My Room. The prolific cartoonist s hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In 'Figure Skating,' a star athlete s impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater s rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in 'Holiday Special,' a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader s brain. Deforge s stories break down how we consume pop culture, interrogate our relationship to star power and recontextualize our nostalgia into a shared mythology, cementing his place as the most consistent and beguiling cartoonist working today.
