Volere la luna
by Sarah Madison Ugo TeleseIl vampiro Alexei Novik può anche avere i denti aguzzi e la bara, ma ha abbandonato quello stile di vita per una vecchia casa da ristrutturare nei monti Blue Ridge. Stanco del passato, Alex intende restare da solo, ma sembra che il suo nuovo affascinante vicino, Tate, non recepisca il messaggio: una buona cosa, dal momento che questi sembra essere a conoscenza di tutte le cose che riguardano la casa. Tate va anche d'accordo con gli amici mannari di Alex, anche se uno di loro gli ricorda apertamente che la loro amicizia non è una buona idea. Se una relazione platonica è una cattiva idea, la crescente attrazione tra Tate e Alex è un disastro annunciato. Il dolce Tate si ritroverà invischiato nel mondo pericoloso di Alex e quest'ultimo sarà diviso tra la voglia di avere la relazione che ha sempre desiderato e il desiderio di tenere Tate al sicuro. Quest'ultimo, d'altro canto, non accetta un no come risposta e sembra accettare tranquillamente tutto ciò che Alex gli riversa addosso senza battere ciglio. Proprio quando il vampiro pensa che, dopotutto, le cose possano andare per il meglio, il passato di Alex ritorna, spingendolo a fare una scelta terribile.

Jason, a veteran pilot of WWI, is embarking on a new career flying mail across North Africa, hoping to forget his encounter with it.

Von Fischen und Geistern (Hellsinger (Deutsch) #1)
by Rhys Ford Jutta GroblebenBuch 1 in der Serie - HellsingerAls sein Onkel Mortimer starb und ihm Hoxne Grange hinterließ, die Familienvilla aus dem späten neunzehnten Jahrhundert, wurde Tristan Pryce der Zweite in der Familie, der sich als Verwalter um das Anwesen kümmerte, einer Zwischenstation für Geister auf ihrem letzten Weg ins Leben nach dem Tode. Tristan ist auf die Herausforderung vorbereitet, wenn auch nicht unbedingt durch die Geister, die er seit seiner Kindheit sehen kann. Fest entschlossen, zu beweisen, dass Tristan geisteskrank ist, um Zugriff auf sein Erbe zu bekommen, heuern seine liebenden Verwandten Dr. Wolf Kincaid und seine paranormalen Ermittler, Hellsinger Investigations, an, um zu beweisen, dass es auf dem Grange nicht spukt. Der Skeptiker Wolf Kincaid hat es sich zur Lebensaufgabe gemacht, übernatürliche Phänomene zu entlarven. Nach Jahren voller Schwindel und Fälschungen kann er es nicht erwarten, zu beweisen, dass die Geister des Grange nur auf knarrende Bodendielen und ein zugiges, altes Haus zurückzuführen sind. Auf dem Grange erwarten ihn einige Überraschungen, inklusive des bissigen, verschlossenen Besitzers. Tristan Pryce ist viel attraktiver und viel weniger verrückt, als Wolf bereit ist zuzugeben, und als sein Team im Grange einen geisterhaften Serienmörder befreit, ist er hin und hergerissen zwischen seinem Skeptizismus und dem Verlangen, den Mann zu beschützen, den er eigentlich diskreditieren soll.

The breadth and subtlety of its approach is such that it remains an essential classic of Afro-American ethnology."--Robert Farris Thompson, professor of art history, Yale University, author of Flash of the Spirit"This is a work deserving of wide readership, and assured of it by its understanding and appeal."--Library Journal"This book gives what is surely the most authoritative general account of that complex of belief and practice called vaudou available in the literature....No other observer of vaudou has contributed to its study the exquisite documentation of detail that marks the work of Alfred Métraux."--Sidney W. Mintz, professor of anthropology, Johns Hopkins University
