Creature Notturne: Dracula contro Frankenstein (Magic Now #1)
by Terry M. West"Creature notturne” non deluderà. È puro divertimento per quelli di noi il cui amore per i mostri leggendari e lo schermo scorre in profondità" - Jonathan Reitan, Scream the Horror Magazine Questo romanzo attraversa diversi secoli, a seguito della relazione tra i due mostri più iconici della storia letteraria. Un tempo vicini come fratelli ma ora nemici giurati, Dracula di Bram Stoker e Frankenstein di Mary Shelley si incontrano per uno scontro finale sotto le strade di New York City. Creature Notturne (Dracula contro Frankenstein) si svolge in un mondo come il tuo con una differenza sorprendente: ogni creatura leggendaria è uscita dall’oscurità e ora vive spalla a spalla con l'umanità! New York City è diventata un‘accozzaglia macabra. Vampiri, lupi mannari, zombie e demoni sono ora i nuovi immigrati e stanno inseguendo il sogno americano. Le creature notturne sono diventate parte del sistema. Ma molti umani ritengono che le creature siano pericolose bombe a orologeria. Dracula, considerato il Messia delle creature notturne, costruisce un esercito inarrestabile mentre complotta per spazzare via l'umanità dalla faccia della Terra. Il misterioso boss del crimine di New York, Johnny Stücke (la creatura Frankenstein) vuole mantenere la pace tra le creature notturne e l'umanità. Stücke teme lo sterminio totale del suo genere, se Dracula liberasse le sue forze su New York. Inizia la lotta per la notte. L'autore horror acclamato dalla critica Terry M. West continua la sua serie Magic Now con questo romanzo autonomo che presenta un mondo con una leggera sfumatura più scura della nostra.

Creatures of Charm And Hunger (The Diabolist's Library #3)
by Molly Tanzer“A compelling, fun, and thought-provoking story of magical adventure, coming of age, sacrifice, and family, with secrets that add a lingering darkness to the entire tale.”— BooklistTwo young witches, once inseparable, are set at odds by secrets and wildly dangerous magicIn the waning days of World War II, with Allied victory all but certain, desperate Nazi diabolists search for a demonic superweapon to turn the tide. A secluded castle somewhere in the south of Germany serves as a laboratory for experiments conducted upon human prisoners, experiments as vile as they are deadly.Across the English Channel, tucked into the sleepy Cumbrian countryside, lies the Library, the repository of occult knowledge for the Société des Éclairées, an international organization of diabolists. There, best friends Jane Blackwood and Miriam Cantor, tutored by the Société’s Librarian—and Jane’s mother—Nancy, prepare to undergo the Test that will determine their future as diabolists.When Miriam learns her missing parents are suspected of betraying the Société to the Nazis, she embarks on a quest to clear their names, a quest involving dangerous diabolic practices that will demand more of her than she can imagine. Meanwhile Jane, struggling with dark obsessions of her own, embraces a forbidden use of the Art that could put everyone she loves in danger.As their friendship buckles under the stress of too many secrets, Jane and Miriam will come face to face with unexpected truths that change everything they know about the war, the world, and most of all themselves. After all, some choices cannot be unmade--and a sacrifice made with the most noble intention might end up creating a monster.
Creatures of Light and Darkness
by Roger ZelaznyTwo gods, two houses, one quest, and the eternal war between life and death To save his kingdom, Anubis, Lord of the Dead, sends forth his servant on a mission of vengeance. At the same time, from The House of Life, Osiris sends forth his son, Horus, on the same mission to destroy utterly and forever The Prince Who Was a Thousand. But neither of these superhuman warriors is prepared for the strange and harrowing world of mortal life, and The Thing That Cries in the Night may well destroy not only their worlds, but all mankind. As Zelazny did with the Hindu pantheon in the legendary, groundbreaking classic Lord of Light, the master storyteller here breathes new life into the Egyptian gods with another dazzling tale of mythology and imagination.
Creatures of Light: Creatures of Light, Book 3 (Creatures of Light #3)
by Emily B MartinQueens, countries, and cultures collided in Woodwalker and Ashes to Fire, the first two books in Emily B. Martin’s Creatures of Light series. From Mae’s guidance to retake Lumen Lake to Mona’s eye-opening adventure in Cyprien, we now see things from Gemma’s perspective—a queen in disgrace…and symbol of the oppressive power of Alcoro.Queen Gemma—although she isn’t sure she still has claim to that title—is in prison.To her people, it’s simply called “The Retreat,” but in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by guards and unable to speak to her husband, King Celeno, there’s no other word for it. The only comfort she has is knowing she might not be there long—the Prelate has let her know in no uncertain terms the council is, even now, deciding her ultimate fate.And Gemma would resign herself to that if it wasn’t for a mysterious stranger breaking her free and setting her on a course that could change the world. With precious information—and a skeptical travel companion— Gemma must undertake a journey to find answers to the questions that have defined her life for years…and her country for centuries.If she can make this desperate scheme work, she might not just forge peace between Alcoro and their neighbors, but win some peace of heart as well. And, perhaps, she’ll learn the same lessons Mae and Mona learned: that being Queen doesn’t mean having to do everything alone.Creatures of Light—the eponymous third and final book in Emily B. Martin’s series—is a novel filled with adventure, betrayal, and a queen’s lifelong struggle to love and trust herself.

Creatures of Want & Ruin: A Novel (The\diabolist's Library #2)
by Molly Tanzer“Profound and enthralling. This book is a delicate dream, mixing its own internal mythology with a brutal tale of prejudice and human frailty. I can’t recommend it enough. Tanzer is absolutely one to watch.” — Seanan McGuire, bestselling, award-winning author of In an Absent DreamAmityville baywoman Ellie West fishes by day and bootlegs moonshine by night. It’s dangerous work under Prohibition—independent operators like her are despised by federal agents and mobsters alike—but Ellie’s brother was accepted to college and Ellie’s desperate to see him go. So desperate that when wealthy strangers ask her to procure libations for an extravagant party Ellie sells them everything she has, including some booze she acquired under unusual circumstances.What Ellie doesn’t know is that this booze is special. Distilled from foul mushrooms by a cult of diabolists, those who drink it see terrible things—like the destruction of Long Island in fire and flood. The cult is masquerading as a church promising salvation through temperance and a return to “the good old days,” so it’s hard for Ellie to take a stand against them, especially when her father joins, but Ellie loves Long Island, and she loves her family, and she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure neither is torn apart.

by Molly Tanzer“A delightful, dark, and entertaining romp . . . Molly Tanzer is at the top of her form in this beautifully constructed novel.” — Jeff VanderMeer, best-selling author of the Southern Reach trilogyVictorian London is a place of fluid social roles, vibrant arts culture, fin-de-siècle wonders . . . and dangerous underground diabolic cults.

There, she meets George Cantrell, an experienced fencing master like she’s always dreamed of studying under. But soon, George shows her something more than fancy footwork—he reveals to Evadne a secret, hidden world of devilish demons and their obedient servants. George has dedicated himself to eradicating demons and diabolists alike, and now he needs Evadne’s help. But as she learns more, Evadne begins to believe that Lady Henry might actually be a diabolist . . . and even worse, she suspects Dorina might have become one too.Combining swordplay, the supernatural, and Victorian high society, Creatures of Will and Temper reveals a familiar but strange London in a riff on Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray that readers won't soon forget.“An artful, witty, Oscar Wilde pastiche with the heart of a paranormal thriller.” — Diana Gabaldon, best-selling author of Outlander
