The Voice Said Kill
Fargo meets Deliverance in this trippy fever-dream thriller, juxtaposing gorgeously pastel sunsets and vibrant hues of the wilderness with shadowy nightmares and dark deeds. The wet heat of the Louisiana bayou. Alligator poachers prowl the mudbug mire. A park ranger, heavily pregnant, raises a hateful mug of moonshine with a criminal matriarch. And one deadly sonuvabitch, out of his mind on shrooms and retribution, loads his rifle for the human hunt and screams down the stars. From award-winning creators Si Spurrier (Coda, X-Men, STEP BY BLOODY STEP) and Vanesa Del Rey (REDLANDS, The Creeping Below) comes a fever-dream Cajun crime thriller about murder, madness and motherhood. Collects all 4 issues.
Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Party Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to an Infinite Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge (Manga) Vol. 11
Light takes a moment to savour his sweet revenge on Sionne, but there is no rest for the wrathful as Mei arrives with shocking news—Light's sister Yume has been found!

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.
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.

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.

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.
Her First Lie
In this chilling prequel to The Perfect Child, USA Today bestselling author Lucinda Berry plunges readers into the dark origins of a family’s secrets, where good intentions pave the road to unspeakable acts and a mother’s love might be the deadliest inheritance of all. Becky Watson learned early that trust is a weapon and secrets are survival. From foster homes to abandoned backroads, she and her childhood confidant Orion have buried more than just memories. Now, as a college freshman, Becky’s harboring her most dangerous secret yet: her newborn daughter, Janie. Desperation drives Becky to contact her estranged grandmother, Lillian. She swoops in like a guardian angel, but her salvation comes with a poisoned price tag. Behind Lillian’s nurturing facade lurks a web of generational secrets. As buried truths claw their way to the surface, Becky faces an impossible choice: sacrifice her daughter or herself to break a twisted family legacy.
The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy
"Cultural Marxism" is one of the far right's favorite buzzwords. But despite its currency, the meaning and origins of the term are rarely investigated. This book uncovers the bizarre story of the cult leaders, right-wing intellectuals, and White House officials who believe a coterie of left-wing scholars and students is plotting to undermine Western civilization. Drawing on years of archival research and using the tools of critical theory, A.J.A. Woods reveals how a group of German thinkers known as the Frankfurt School was recast as the sinister orchestra-tors of a global conspiracy. Instead of simply debunking this conspiracy theory, Woods offers a sharp analysis and critique of the political movements that have declared war on all that passes for Cultural Marxism in the US, the UK, and Brazil. Only when we understand the practices and weaknesses of those reactionaries committed to fighting this illusory threat-a conflict causing real-world damage-can we effectively resist. This is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand the ideological currents shaping politics in the twenty-first century.
Rome's Patron
The story of Maecenas and his role in the evolution and continuing legacy of ancient Roman poetry and cultureAn unelected statesman with exceptional powers, a patron of the arts and a luxury-loving friend of the emperor Augustus: Maecenas was one of the most prominent and distinctive personalities of ancient Rome. Yet the traces he left behind are unreliable and tantalizingly scarce. Rather than attempting a conventional biography, Emily Gowers shows in Rome’s Patron that it is possible to tell a different story, one about Maecenas’s influence, his changing identities and the many narratives attached to him across two millennia. Rome’s Patron explores Maecenas’s appearances in the central works of Augustan poetry written in his name—Virgil’s Georgics, Horace’s Odes and Propertius’s elegies—and in later works of Latin literature that reassess his influence. For the Roman poets he supported, Maecenas was a mascot of cultural flexibility and innovation, a pioneer of gender fluidity and a bearer of imperial demands who could be exposed as a secret sympathizer with their own values. For those excluded from his circle, he represented either favouritism and indulgence or the lost ideal of a patron in perfect collaboration with the authors he championed. As Gowers shows, Maecenas had and continues to have a unique cachet—in the fantasies that still surround the gardens, buildings and objects so tenuously associated with him; in literature, from Ariosto and Ben Johnson to Phillis Wheatley and W. B. Yeats; and in philanthropy, where his name has been surprisingly adaptable to more democratic forms of patronage.
Waiting for You at the End of the Runway
Chihaya, who was famous as a child prodigy, felt that his talent as an actor had reached its limits. After ten years of acting, he decided to retire, and when he told his father, who is also the president of the agency, he was suddenly appointed as the manager of his childhood friend and model, Shion. However, when they met again for the first time in three years, Shion treated him like a nuisance. Chihaya couldn't help but say, 'I'll prove that I can do it too,' and from that day on, he began to work hard at the unfamiliar managerial job. As he watched Shion's brilliance as she worked as a top model, he began to remember the one time in the past when he and Shion tried to have sex. The memory of 'that time,' when they were both still young and desperate, and infatuated with the person in front of them, came back to Chihaya, and Chihaya's feelings for Shion shifted. Shion noticed Chihaya's heated gaze and reached out to Chihaya's body, saying, 'I won't let you get away next time.'
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.
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.
