Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison and Eric LaRocca.They''re feeding on you too.A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one. From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own. Packed full of humanity, humour and above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror''s finest authors.

Svět za Velkým předělem se propadl do nicoty i se všemi jeho obyvateli. Zůstali jen dva z nich - osmiletá Peggy a její podivínský otec. V rozpadlé chatce uprostřed hlubokých lesů se učí přežít z darů přírody, a hlavně se sebou navzájem. Pak se ale jednoho dne z lesa vynoří tajemný vousáč Reuben a Peggy začne poznávat, že všechno je možná docela jinak, než jak jí otec vtloukal do hlavy. Co když žádný konec světa nenastal? Co když její rodný dům v Londýně ještě stojí a matka v něm stále čeká na její návrat? Nekonečné dny je strhující příběh o temných stránkách člověka, ale i o krásách přírody, naději a přátelství.

The author of Fight Club takes America beyond our darkest dreams in this timely satire. People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They’ve been reading a mysterious blue-black book and memorising its directives. They are ready for the reckoning. In this ingeniously comic work, Chuck Palahniuk’s first novel in four years, he does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians hatch a nasty fate for the burgeoning population of young males; working-class men dream of burying the elites; and professors propound theories that offer students only the bleakest future. When it arrives, Adjustment Day inaugurates a new, disunited states. In this mind-blowing novel, Palahniuk fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche.‘His best book in years’ Irish Independent

Přátelství Abby a Gretchen započalo v den oslavy Abbyiných desátých narozenin a v nerozlučném duchu vztahu, jaký mohou mít jen nejlepší kamarádky, pokračovalo až na střední školu. Abby a Gretchen sice nepocházely ze stejných poměrů, ale jejich zvláštní pouto a veliká vzájemná blízkost tím nikdy neutrpěly – vždy byly jedna druhé oporou, dokázaly se bláznivě bavit, vymýšlet ztřeštěnosti, chodit na dlouhé noční procházky či později jezdit na projížďky v Abbyině starém, rozvrzaném autě.

In Scotland’s Outer Hebrides on the rugged Isle of Lewis, five powerful award-winning monuments commemorate the island’s Land Heroes. Their courageous struggle for Land Law Reform resulted in the thriving Gaelic speaking community that Lewis encompasses today.The intention of this book is twofold: through the photography of Robin Gillanders, the design, setting and materials of these ‘sentinels in stone’ are brought together for all to enjoy, while essays by distinguished Scottish art historians, and Gaelic speaking island historian Dr Joni Buchannan, tell a vivid story of the events commemorated by each monument, examining their iconography, and exploring each work within the context of a wider cultural rebellion against the hegemony of imposed values.Compelled by Memory also pays tribute to the artist Will Maclean. He oversaw all five memorials installed between 1994 and 2019, initially designing those at Balallan, Aignish and Gress River, and then with fellow artist Marian Leven designed An Sùileachan on the west coast. They were joined by the sculptor Arthur Watson in undertaking the meditational site to mark the centenary of the tragic loss of HMV Iolaire, wrecked in a terrible storm on New Year’s Day 1919, just outside Stornoway Harbour.In each case the projects grew from ...

Haunted is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you''ll ever encounter. They are told by the people who have all answered an ad headlined ''Artists Retreat: Abandon your life for three months''. They are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of ''real life'' that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But ''here'' turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theatre where they are utterly isolated from the outside world - and where heat and power and, most importantly, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more desperate the stories they tell - and the more devious their machinations to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/non-fiction blockbuster that will certainly be made from their plight.
