A setét torony 2: A hármak elhivatása
A Setét Torony-sorozatban - melynek második kötetét tartja kezében az olvasó - a horror koronázatlan királya a fantasy birodalmába kalandozik. Egy mitikus, történelem előtti - vagy utáni - varázsvilágba, amely idegensége ellenére is ismerős a mesék és mítoszok mellett talán leginkább a nagy amerikai westernekből. A regényfolyam egyes darabjai önállóan is megállják a helyüket, de együtt alkotnak kerek egészet, hoznak létre egy olyan teljes világot, amelyet sokan A Gyűrűk Urá-éhoz hasonlítanak. A harcos-ban megismert Roland sebesülten, betegen, ám rendíthetetlenül halad célja, a titokzatos Setét Torony felé. Kietlen, veszélyekkel terhes vidéken visz az útja. Váratlanul egy ajtóba ütközik, amely az 1980-as évek New Yorkjába nyílik. A harcosnak át kell mennie ebbe a másik világba, hogy elhívja magával segítőtársait, akiket a feketébe öltözött ember tarot-kártyán megjósolt neki. Így fonódik össze Roland, a harcos, Eddie Dean, a drogcsempész, Odetta Holmes, a gyönyörű, okos, ám egy balesetben megnyomorodott fekete lány, valamint Jack Mort, a gyilkos hajlamú könyvelő sorsa. A hármak elhívatása lélegzetelállító kalandokban bővelkedő, az "elmozdult világokban" játszódó könyv, amely, bár nem zárul le benne a főhősök sorsa, mégis élvezetes olvasmány.

Vér & Méz
Lou, Reid, Coco és Ansel megmenekültek ugyan a fénymágusok halálos csapdájából, ám most boszorkányok serege és az egész egyház vadászik rájuk, miközben sehol sem akad számukra menedék. Vérükre szomjazó üldözőikkel szemben szövetségesekre van szükségük - és olyan hatalomra, amelyet jobb lenne nem a világra szabadítani.
A kétségbeesett, bosszúra vágyó Lou egyre sötétebb varázslatokhoz folyamodik, hogy egyszer és mindenkorra végezhessen anyjával - egyben leghalálosabb ellenségével -, ám könnyen lehet, hogy ezzel azt is elpusztítja, ami összeköti őt Reiddel. Az egykori boszorkányvadász azonban szent esküt tett: hűséges marad Louhoz és védelmezi - míg a halál el nem választja őket...
A Magyarországon is óriási sikert aratott Kígyó & Galamb folytatása sötét, fordulatokkal teli történet a szerelem és a gyűlölet mindent elsöprő erejéről.
I Loved You In Another Life
A sweeping romantic novel from New York Times bestselling author David Arnold about the power of soulmates and love.
Evan Taft has plans. Take a gap year in Alaska, make sure his brother and single mother are taken care of, and continue therapy to process his father's departure. But after his mum's unexpected cancer diagnosis, and as Evan's plans begin to fade, he hears something - a song no one else can hear, the voice of a mysterious singer ...
Shosh Bell has dreams. A high school theatre legend, she's headed to performing arts college in LA, a star on the rise. But when a drunk driver takes her sister's life, that star fades to black. All that remains is a void - and a soft voice singing in her ear ...
Over it all, transcending time and space, a celestial bird brings strangers together: from an escaped murderer in 19th century Paris, to a Norwegian cosmonaut in low-earth orbit, something is happening that began long ago, and will long outlast Evan and Shosh.
With lyrical prose and breathtaking storytelling I Loved You in Another Life explores the history of love, and how some souls are meant for each other - yesterday, today, forever. Perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and Matt Haig.
When Ghosts Call Us Home
Terrifying, spine-tingling and haunting, When Ghosts Call Us Home by Katya de Becerra is an edge-of-your-seat YA horror, perfect for fans of Kathyrn Foxfield.
Never, ever look directly into the eyes of a ghost. Because once you see it, once you see her, once you acknowledge her impossible existence, you can never un-see it. And that's how she gets you.
When Sophia Galich was twelve, she starred in her older sister Layla’s amateur horror movie Vermillion, which recorded raw footage of her very real reactions to scenes her sister concocted in their old Californian house on the coast – Cashore House.
In the years after the film’s release, Sophia’s memories of the now-infamous house fueled her nightmares. Vermillion amassed an army of fanatical fans who speculated about the film’s hidden messages, and it was rumored that Layla made a pact with the devil – her soul in exchange for fame and arcane knowledge. Sophia dismissed this as gossip . . . until Layla disappeared.
Now, Sophia must study the trail of clues Layla has left behind, returning to the very place where it all began. As she gets closer and closer to Cashore House’s haunted heart, she must once again confront the ghosts of her childhood. But the house won’t reveal its secrets without a fight.
When Ghosts Call Us Home is a spine-tingling chiller from horror writer Katya De Becerra.
Liberation Day
The first short story collection in ten years from the Man Booker Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo.
MacArthur genius and Booker Prize-winner George Saunders returns with a collection of short stories that make sense of our increasingly troubled world, his first since the New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist Tenth of December.
The 'best short story writer in English' (Time) is back with a masterful collection that explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice, and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans. With his trademark prose - wickedly funny, unsentimental, and perfectly tuned - Saunders continues to challenge and surprise: here is a collection of prismatic, deeply resonant stories that encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality.
'Love Letter' is a tender missive from grandfather to grandson, in the midst of a dystopian political situation in the not-too-distant future, that reminds us of our obligations to our ideals, ourselves, and each other. 'Ghoul' is set in a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park in Colorado, and follows the exploits of a lonely, morally complex character named Brian, who comes to question everything he takes for granted about his 'reality.' In 'Mother's Day', two women who loved the same man come to an existential reckoning in the middle of a hailstorm. And in 'Elliott Spencer', our eighty-nine-year-old protagonist finds himself brainwashed - his memory 'scraped' - a victim of a scheme in which poor, vulnerable people are reprogrammed and deployed as political protesters.
Together, these nine subversive, profound, and essential stories coalesce into a case for viewing the world with the same generosity and clear-eyed attention as Saunders does, even in the most absurd of circumstances.
Immortality: A Love Story
INSTANT NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
The eagerly-anticipated sequel to Dana Schwartz's Reese's Book Club Winter YA Pick and No.1 New York Times bestselling gothic romance, Anatomy: A Love Story
Hazel Sinnett is alone and half-convinced the events of the year before - the immortality, Beecham's vial - were a figment of her imagination. She doesn't even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.
When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly granddaughter of King George III. Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamour and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the enigmatic, brilliant members of a social club known as the Companions to the Death.
As Hazel's work entangles her more and more with the British court, she realizes that her own future as a surgeon isn't the only thing at stake for her. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and Hazel may be the only one capable of setting things right.
Hackenfeller's Ape (Faber Editions)
When my species has destroyed itself, we may need yours to start it all again.
In London Zoo, Professor Darrylhyde is singing to the apes again. Outside their cage, he watches the two animals, longing to observe the mating ritual of this rare species. But Percy, inhibited by confinement and melancholy, is repulsing Edwina's desirous advances. Soon, the Professor's connection increases as he talks, croons, befriends - so when a scientist arrives on a secret governmental mission to launch Percy into space, he vows to secure his freedom. But when met by society's indifference, he takes matters into his own hands . . .
A trailblazing animal rights campaigner, Brigid Brophy's sensational 1953 novel is as provocative and philosophical seventy years on. An electric moral fable, it is as much a blazingly satirical reflection on homo sapiens as the non-human - on our capacity for violence, red in tooth and claw, not only to other species, but our own.

The Lost Metal
Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with THE ALLOY OF LAW, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in THE LOST METAL. For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set - with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders - since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner, Wayne, find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead.
Conflict between the capital, Elendel, and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate - whose corruption Wax and his wife, Steris, have sought to expose - and Bilming is even more entangled. After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial's god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn't the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere - Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost.
Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.
Szolenoid
A bukaresti 86-os számú iskola irodalomtanára naplót vezet riasztó, szürreális álmairól, és hétköznapi csetlés-botlásáról. Az élete gyökerestül megváltozik, amikor olyan házba költözik, amely alatt egy beépített szolenoid elektromágneses teret hoz létre, aminek hatására a főhős lebegni kezd az ágya felett. A tekercsből városszerte több is akad, és ezekkel együttműködve elképzelhetetlen eseményeket idéz elő.
A történet az 1960-80-as évek szocialista Romániájának valóságába ágyazódva - élelmiszerboltok előtt kígyózó sorok, az oktatási rendszer abszurditásai, a családi élet nyomorúsága - bepillantást enged egy gyerekeket gondozó tüdőszanatórium életébe, a halál ellen tiltakozó mozgalom gyűléseibe, az álomfejtők társaságába, valamint a mikroszkóp tárgylemezén élő atkák miniatűr világába.
A Szolenoid elbeszélője az önéletírást és a történelmet vegyítve tűnődik az élet és a művészet különféle dimenzióinak lehetséges változásain, miközben a korabeli diktatúra rideg hétköznapjai is könyörtelenül betüremkednek a regény rendkívüli panorámájába.
„A művészetnek nincs értelme, ha nem menekülés. Ha nem a rablét reménytelenségéből születik. Nem tisztelem a kényelemhez és enyhüléshez vezető művészetet, az olyan regényeket és festményeket, amelyektől a cella elviselhetőbb.”
The Bear and the Dragon
Newly elected as President, domestic pitfalls await Jack Ryan around every corner. Now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR - the former KGB - with a rocket-propelled grenade. Even more disturbing is the potential identity of the assassin. Were they political enemies, the Russian Mafia, disaffected former KGB? Or, Ryan wonders, is something far more dangerous at work here?
He is right to wonder. For even while Russian investigators pursue the case, forces in China are moving forward with a plan of truly audacious proportions. If they succeed, the world as we know it will never look the same. If they fail. . . the consequences may be unspeakable.
The Hurricane Wars
All Talasyn has ever known are the Hurricane Wars. An orphan of the struggle, she uses the power of light to fight for her people against the Night Empire.
All Alaric has ever known is darkness. The son of the Night Emperor and their deadliest weapon, he wields terrifying shadow magic to crush the rebellion.
Then he sees Talasyn, his sworn enemy burning bright across the battlefield. The moment they clash their lives are changed forever.
Now a greater threat is rising and only they can stop it.
The coming storm threatens to destroy everything. If they don’t destroy each other first . . .
Hansel & Gretel
Simon Armitage turns Hansel & Gretel into a darkly glittering fairy tale for grown-ups. In vivid and trenchant language, he puts a contemporary spin on the tale we know from the Brothers Grimm. Here is a twenty-first century story, whose preoccupations are poverty and hunger, war and flight, a shifting dystopian landscape where nothing is quite as it seems.
Text and illustration fuse beautifully to summon a nightmarish vision that nonetheless contains humour and humanity and the possibility of a more hopeful future to come.
Where the Deer and the Antelope Play
Going back to his literal roots, Nick Offerman takes a journey to America's frontier to celebrate the people and stories, both historically and today, that have made it great - and, working together, will keep it that way. Nick Offerman has always loved the United States of America - not just the people and the history, but the actual land itself. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and fascinating trip to America's frontier to celebrate the people, landscape, and stories, both historically and today, that have made it great - and, working together, will keep it that way. In July 2019, Nick took a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders. The trip, and the conversations between the three men, began a study and exploration of both the American West and our National Parks that addresses so many of the important issues that affect America today. This book both maps out the group's travels and dives deeply into subjects such as: the history and geology of the National Parks of the West; farming, animal life, and conservation; the importance of outdoor recreation, including hunting and fishing; and building both local and national communities across party lines - all subjects very close to Nick's heart. With wit, heartwarming stories, and a keen insight into new and exciting ways to see both the past and the future of the country, Nick Offerman is ready to tackle his most important subject yet.

Extremely Online
Acclaimed Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz presents a groundbreaking social history of the internet-revealing how online influence and the creators who amass it have reshaped our world, online and off.
For over a decade, Taylor Lorenz has been the authority on internet culture, documenting its far-reaching effects on all corners of our lives. Her reporting is serious yet entertaining and illuminates deep truths about ourselves and the lives we create online. In her debut book, Extremely Online, she reveals how online influence came to upend the world, demolishing traditional barriers and creating whole new sectors of the economy.
By tracing how the internet has changed what we want and how we go about getting it, Lorenz unearths how social platforms' power users radically altered our expectations of content, connection, purchasing, and power. Lorenz documents how moms who started blogging were among the first to monetize their personal brands online, how bored teens who began posting selfie videos reinvented fame as we know it, and how young creators on TikTok are leveraging opportunities to opt out of the traditional career pipeline. It's the real social history of the internet.
Emerging seemingly out of nowhere, these shifts in how we use the internet seem easy to dismiss as fads. However, these social and economic transformations created a digital dynamic so unappreciated and insurgent that it ultimately created new approaches to work, entertainment, fame, and ambition in the 21st century.
Extremely Online is the inside, untold story of what we have done to the internet, and what it has done to us.
