Sette in obitorio
by Doug Lamoreux Maddalena RepettoÈ quasi mezzanotte quando un ficcanaso trova morti i suoi vicini. Si calma, si fa coraggio e chiama i soccorsi. Nonostante un acquazzone torrenziale i vicesceriffi, i vigili del fuoco e un'ambulanza rispondono prontamente alla chiamata. Ma non possono fare granché. Le vittime sono morte... e morte da precchio. Il vicino impiccione invita i soccorritori nel suo garage al riparo dalla pioggia in attesa dell'arrivo del medico legale e, in seguito, degli impiegati delle pompe funebri che rimuoveranno i corpi dei suoi vicini. Nel cielo si stagliano i lampi e i tuoni rimbombano. Situazione, clima e location ispirano poliziotti, pompieri e paramedici che decidono così di ammazzare il tempo raccontandosi storie avvincenti ma agghiaccianti... e tu sei invitato a unirti a loro. L'autore premiato Doug Lamoreux ci delizia con sette inquietanti racconti dell'orrore in un unico mix intrigante. Per dirla con una vecchia poesia scozzese: "Dai demoni e dai fantasmi, Dalle bestie a sei zampe, Dagli spiriti notturni, Liberaci, o buon Signore!"

As Lewis warily sets out to assist his new roommates -- a raucous, unruly bunch who exhibit a strange delight in thrift-store fashions and a thirst for storybooks -- he begins to open himself to the possibilities of friendship, passion and joie de vivre and finds the courage to speak up.

Seven Lives and One Great Love: The Memoirs of a Cat
by Lena DivaniA haughty and hilarious cat narrates this tale about seducing a resistant human . . .Anyone who has ever lived with cats knows how cunning, tender, smart, ferocious, underhanded, ingenious, foolish, and completely adorable they can be. These words describe Sugar Zach to a T.This is the epic story of the love between Sugar Zach—in his seventh life, a keenly intelligent and observant cat—and the Damsel, a writer with a frenetic lifestyle and an apparent abhorrence of things feline. Sugar Zach’s powers of observation and analysis are unparalleled, and after six lives lived among people from all walks of life he has countless stories to tell and a remarkable talent for telling them. His real area of expertise, however, lies in his preternatural ability to domesticate his humans—whatever you do, don’t even suggest that the humans are the ones who domesticate him. Yet he is flummoxed by the Damsel’s indifference to his charms. But he is not going to let her coldness stop him: One way or another, he is going to insinuate himself into her life and her art.With wit and a broad repertoire of cultural references, Sugar Zach recounts his days and nights spent with the Damsel in a novel that fits squarely into the illustrious tradition of feline literature à la T. S. Eliot, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Charles Bukowski, and Louis-Ferdinand Céline.
