How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates
This is one killer love story ...
For fans of Love in the Time of Serial Killers and Butcher & Blackbird, a horror movie fanatic gets caught in the middle of a murder spree and must use her encyclopedic knowledge of the romance and horror genres to escape a killer and become the Final Girl.
When Jamie's best friend drags her to a speed-dating event, she knows what to expect . . . mediocre men and the opportunity to eat her feelings later. She's not expecting a blackout and for her date to be gruesomely killed at their table. After the lights come back on, Jamie sees more bodies on the floor. Knowing there's strength in numbers, she pulls together a band of would-be survivors to escape.
Armed with makeshift weapons and Jamie's extensive knowledge of what NOT to do in a slasher movie - starting with not splitting up - the group try to find a way out whilst the killer stalks them. But is he simply picking them off or is he playing some sick game to woo one of the daters and turn them into his real-life Final Girl?
Nothing speeds up love like fighting for your life and Jamie somehow finds herself in a love triangle despite the potentially deadly consequences. Has she finally found true love or does the prospect of death via machete-wielding psychopath mean she's already met her match?
Moje chytrá holčička
Charlottina osmiletá dcera Stella je nadprůměrně chytré, nejspíš geniální dítě. Charlottu ale znepokojuje a děsí náhlá proměna její osobnosti. Po nečekaném odchodu a smrti oblíbené chůvy Blanky má totiž Stella najednou úplně jiné chutě, záliby, dovednosti i temperament. Chováním i zjevem se začíná výrazně podobat právě Blance, pocházející z Arménie, ať už jde o používané obraty, chyby v angličtině, vzhled vlasů, rukopis nebo neustálou chuť na dušené jehněčí, a to navzdory dosavadnímu vegetariánství.
Charlotte, čekající druhé dítě a vyčerpaná těhotenstvím a častými nevolnostmi, je přesvědčená, že za Stellinou proměnou je nějakým způsobem Blanka. Že by Stellu posedla? Nebo se Stella stala svou bývalou chůvou? Nebo si tu chce Blančin duch něco vyřídit? Čím víc je Charlotte celou záležitostí pohlcená, tím víc je přesvědčená, že jen ona může svou dceru zachránit... I přesto, že se záhy ukáže, že její muž považuje všechna její podezření pouze za konstrukt její mysli.
Jedinečný, mrazivý příběh zkoumá nezřetelné hranice diagnózy u dětí a zásadní význam mateřských instinktů. Napínavý, nefalšovaně děsivý román s příchutí nadpřirozena ve stylu Iry Levina je ódou na mateřství, od které se nebudete schopní odtrhnout až do velkolepého, překvapivého finále.

J. R. R. Tolkien
The only authorised biography, and the only one written by an author who actually met J.R.R. Tolkien, now reissued as a deluxe edition housed in a matching custom-built slipcase and featuring the original 16 pages of photographic plates illustrating the author's life. In more than 40 years since Tolkien’s death in September 1973, millions have read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and become fascinated about the very private man behind the books. Born in Bloemfontein in January 1892, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was orphaned in childhood, brought up in near-poverty and almost thwarted in adolescent romance. He served in the First World War, surviving the Battle of the Somme, where he lost some of his closest friends, and returned to academic life, achieving high repute as a scholar and university teacher, eventually becoming Merton Professor of English at Oxford. Then suddenly his life changed dramatically. One day while marking essay papers he found himself writing ‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit’ – and worldwide renown awaited him. Humphrey Carpenter was given unrestricted access to all Tolkien’s papers, and interviewed his friends and family. From these sources he follows the long and painful process of creation that produced The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and offers a wealth of information about the life and work of the twentieth century’s most cherished author.

Dog Star
An inviting and poignant new collection exploring our increasingly turbulent relationship with nature, from award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts'I love Michael Symmons Roberts' poetry' Jeanette Winterson'An existential wrestle between body and soul ... sure-footed' Guardian, Best New PoetryDog Star is a book of linked poems rooted in encounters with real, imagined or mythical birds, trees, fish, flowers, bacteria, chimeras – ancient connections reshaped by technological and political change and critically endangered by species and habitat loss. His poems are always attentive to glimpses of grace and presence, but always embodied and grounded. In this new book, that attention is sharper and more urgent than ever, at a time when the essential spiritual relationship between humanity and other forms of life is broken or lost. Some encounters in Dog Star are head-on, face-to-face, some are more slant, distant, missed connections. There’s an elegiac sequence for the poet’s mother with each step measured in animals, an extended riff on the world as an aquarium and our lives seen through water – creatures dead and living, met in the flesh or mediated via film or stories. This is a profound, remarkable book by one of our major poets. 'The clearest and purest voice currently sounding in British poetry' Carol Ann Duffy'An outstanding writer' Sunday Times
