With only a few dollars to her name and her beloved dog Copper by her side, Selena flees her past in the city to claim her late aunt’s house in the desert town of Quartz Creek. The scorpions and spiders are better than what she left behind.

Quando Suyeon, una giovane investigatrice alle prese con una serie di apparenti suicidi all'interno di un ospedale, incontra Wanda, una donna avvolta in un cappotto nero che si aggira sul luogo delle morti misteriose, non immagina certo di trovare in lei un valido aiuto per condurre le indagini. Wanda, infatti, non ha dubbi: le vittime non si sono gettate dal sesto piano, ma sono state uccise. Ed è convinta che il vero responsabile sia un vampiro. Wanda conosce fin troppo bene il mondo dei vampiri: sa che agiscono nel cuore della notte e che si nutrono del sangue di persone sole.

To unravel the mystery, five young employees volunteer for a long dusk-till-dawn shift and encounter horrors that defy imagination.

Pace è una parola che la Bambina non concepisce. La sente usare qualche volta a scuola "quando la Maestra ordina: 'Fate la pace', che vuol dire stringere la mano a un Antipatico o addirittura uno Stronzo che durante l'intervallo ti ha pestato perché hai risposto con un calcio alla sua tirata di trecce. Macché pace. Le Bambine sono fatte per la Guerra". Con questo spirito battagliero e dissacrante, la Bambina affronta il mondo dei Grandi.

Scozia. Promesse di successo, di lavoro e di risposte, aiuto per una fuga: così uno sconosciuto convince un'aspirante cantante, un marinaio, una studentessa e un rampollo ricoverato in una clinica psichiatrica, a seguirlo su un'isola che è ovunque e in nessun luogo: OgniDove. Là Aisha, Dean, Aurora e Duncan scopriranno il vero motivo per il quale sono stati condotti con l'inganno ai margini del mondo: la storia è incompleta.

Per sopravvivere si nasconde nella solitudine degradante dei bassifondi di Estrielle, dove il suo lato oscuro lo consuma ogni giorno, trascinandolo in un abisso di rancore e violenza.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. As Jin, I’m a man of the earth. A wielder of shovels and lord of rice and wheat. And sure, I also had to die and get pulled into another universe to end up here. But guess what? I’m starting to think it was worth it. I’ve somehow managed to get away from it all.

A part of me wants to run away again. The memory of my death still haunts my dreams. But this is my home now. And I'll be damned if I give it up without a fight. I mean, all I have to do is learn how to navigate xianxia politics and train for battle while simultaneously running my farm and uncovering an ancient cataclysm that apparently destroyed the Azure Hills back in the day. Meanwhile, I'm about to be a father . . . Man, I'm kinda screwed, aren't I? At least I can call in the cavalry—ahem, poultry—to help.

Gary doesn’t have all that much going for him. He’s a teenage boy who lives in a Tier-3 town that’s barely hanging on, and his family’s just a rung above dirt poor. Which is why he’s taken the very dangerous step of becoming an errand boy for the savage Underdogs gang. He doesn’t like what they do, but if he tries to get out, he’s pretty sure he’ll get very dead.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I'm stuck in his body. But I think he'd like how things are turning out.

“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.” With this startlingly bizarre sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young traveling salesman who, transformed overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. Rather than being surprised at the transformation, the members of his family despise it as an impending burden upon themselves.

Harrison dice di essere stato, un tempo, il Piccolo Eroe di Dunnsmouth, il Detective dei Mostri, ma ora che ha più di trent'anni passa la maggior parte del suo tempo a ingurgitare pillole senza mai dormire. Stan, a quanto pare, anni prima ha goduto di una certa notorietà dopo essere stato quasi divorato da un gruppo di cannibali. Barbara invece è ossessionata dai messaggi che l'Intagliatore le ha inciso sulle ossa e che non ha mai potuto leggere.

Calcuta, 1932: el corazón de las tinieblas. Un tren en llamas atraviesa la ciudad. Un espectro de fuego siembra el terror en las sombras de la noche. Pero eso no es más que el principio. En la víspera de cumplir dieciséis años, Ben, Sheere y sus amigos de la Chowbar Society deberán enfrentarse al más terrible enigma de la historia de la ciudad de los palacios.

A devastating attack by the lich Quatach-Ichl has left Zorian and Zach reeling as their remaining restarts tick away. As they recover, they make preparations for their final confrontations with Red Robe, the lich, the primordial being, and the invaders—all within the shadow of a question they can’t answer: can Zorian and Zach both survive outside the time loop? When the time loop is broken, sacrifices will be made, bonds will be tested, and trust will be more important than any magical skill or power—and even then, success is not guaranteed.

Supernatural Bounty Hunter isn’t the sort of thing you see on LinkedIn. But with a rare type of magic like mine, I don’t have many options. So dangerous or not, the job is mine. And it was going fine, until an old as sin vampire stole my mark, and with it, my pay day.

Despite all the advantages that came with being a Titan, for Thorn, it has come with equally Titan-sized problems.
