Book of Night
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn't pick, a book she couldn't steal, or a bad decision she wouldn't make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie.
Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn't easy. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that her shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend has been keeping secrets from her. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends back into a maelstrom of murder and lies. Determined to survive, she's up against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world - all trying to steal a secret that will allow them control of the shadow world and more.

Silas is a Herald, carrying messages and ferrying the dead, as punishment for a past he can't remember.

The Night House
In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths in a house fire, fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote, insular town of Ballantyne.
Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, everyone suspects the new, angry boy is responsible for his disappearance. No one believes him when he says the telephone booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like something out of a horror movie.
No one, that is, except Karen, a beguiling fellow outsider who encourages Richard to pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number that Tom prank called from the phone booth to an abandoned house in the Black Mirror Wood. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window.
And then the voices begin to whisper in his ear . . .
You know who I am.
She's going to burn. The one you love is going to burn. There's not a thing you can do about it.
When another classmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence-and preserve his sanity-as he grapples with the dark magic that is possessing Ballantyne and pursuing his destruction.
Then again, Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story.

To Skilgannon, this giant represents their last hope As ageless evil threatens to drown the Drenai lands in blood, two legendary heroes will once again lead the way to freedom

Ultra. Proč je noc černá. Why The Night is Black
Kniha skutečných příběhů „posledních“ nejvýznamnějších kanibalských Papuánských náčelníků a autentický záznam komunikace při symbolickém „Posledním Prvním Kontaktu“.
Po tisíciletí byly takového příběhy předávány z generace na generaci pouze verbálně. Tato kniha /bohatě doplněných černobílými fotografiemi/ je první zaznamenaný materiál přepsaných autentických nahrávek rozhovorů s posledními přírodními lidmi doby kamenné předtím, než je navždy změní globalizace. Všichni mluví v první osobě a popisují své skutečné zážitky, neboť v džungli se nerozlišuje (západním úhlem pohledu) přirozené od nadpřirozeného. Všechno je reálné.
Až dosud bývaly „první kontakty“ věcí moci, násilí, zvětšování teritorií a území vlivu, /ale naše země nikdy nekolonizovala jiné/ a o dnes již zaniklých animistických kulturách se zachovala svědectví prospektorů, misionářů, vojáků a antropologů, aniž domorodci vyprávějí sami o sobě. První kontakt s posledními přírodními národy až dosud nikdy neučinili umělci, přestože jde o "Setkání kultur"....
Jedná se rozšířenou verzi knihy Proč je noc černá, jejíž první vydání roku 2005 získalo cenu Magnesia Litera za objev roku.
A book of true stories told by the ‘last’ prominent cannibal Papuan tribal chiefs and the authentic record of communication during the symbolic ‘Final First Contact’.
For thousands of years, stories like these have been part of the tribes’ oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation. This book /richly supplemented with black and white photographs/ is the first ever transcription of authentic recorded interviews, conducted with the final indigenous tribespeople before their primeval culture is forever changed by globalisation. The first-person accounts describe the tribesmen’s true stories, at least from their point of view: for them, there is no distinction between the natural and the supernatural – everything is equally real.
Until now, ‘first contacts’ have been a matter of power, violence, the expansion of territories and spheres of influence /but our country has never colonized others/ and there are testimonies of prospectors, missionaries, soldiers, and anthropologists about the now extinct animist cultures, without the natives telling their own stories. The first contact with the last natural nations had never previously been made by artists, despite the fact that it was a Meeting of Cultures…
This is an expanded version of the book Why the Night is Black, the first edition of which won the 2005 Magnesia Litera Award for Discovery of the Year.

Richard Ramirez: Night Stalker
Kniha Richard Ramirez: Night Stalker, kterou autor pečlivě zpracovával tři roky na základě téměř sta hodin exkluzivních rozhovorů s Richardem Ramirezem z kalifornské cely smrti, je definitivním příběhem nejobávanějšího amerického sériového vraha. Od Ramirezových prvních střetů se zákonem přes jeho nejvražednější stalkerské výpravy až po bezprecedentní policejní a civilní hon, který vyústil v jeden z nejsenzačnějších soudních procesů v dějinách Kalifornie, je kniha Richard Ramirez: Night Stalker děsivým a uhrančivým sestupem do samého nitra lidského zla.
Je to víc než epická literatura faktu v té nejbrutálnější podobě – je to mistrovské dílo žánru true crime.
„Byl jsem obviněn z téměř všech zločinů, které si umíte představit." Richard Ramirez
Druhá kniha z nové edice True Crime.

A Shadow in the Ember - Árnyék a parázsban (Hús és tűz 1.)
Ejtsd szerelembe, válj a gyenge pontjává, végezz vele... Seraphena Mierel az ősi lények fátylába burkolva született, a Sors ígérte Szűzként, ezért a jövője sosem volt az övé: születése előtt kiválasztották, hogy alanya legyen egy kétségbeesett alkunak, amelyet őse kötött a népe megmentése érdekében.
Serának hátra kell hagynia az életét, és a Halál Ősi Lényének kell felajánlkoznia hitvesül. Ám Sera valódi sorsa egész Lazania legjobban őrzött titka: ő nem a jól védett Szűz, hanem egy bérgyilkos, akinek egyetlen küldetése van - és egyetlen célpontja: a Halál Ősi Lénye. Ha kudarcot vall, a királyságát lassú pusztulásra ítéli a Rothadás keze által.
Sera mindig is tudta, hogy ki ő. Kiválasztott. Hitves. Orgyilkos. Fegyver. Egy kísértet, aki sosem ölthetett saját formát, mégis vérben ázik. Egy szörnyeteg. Egészen addig, amíg ő el nem jön érte... Amíg a Halál Ősi Lényének sorsa össze nem fonódik az övével. És a férfi csábító érintése olyan szenvedélyt lobbant fel benne, amilyet soha nem élt még át, és amit nem is érezhetne iránta. De Serának sosem volt választása.
