The Door Through Space
by Marion Zimmer BradleyWOLF: Beautiful, deadly world under a cold red sun. WOLF: Its civilization was old when Terrans were learning to walk upright. WOLF: Where blood-feud is a fact of death and torture a noble game. Still, Terran Intelligence thought that the Terran Peace was secure on Wolf-until strange reports of alien unrest started filtering in to Terran Headquarters, reports of wild events that made even the exotic customs of Wolf seem tame. Only one Terran agent knew Wolf well enough to pass undetected in the alien Dry-Towns; but he had ruined his usefulness long ago, by acculturating himself so successfully that a native blood-feud was called out against him: Once he left the safety of the Terran Enclave, he would be killed on sight. And yet, in the end, only the scarred and bitter man who loved Wolf as his home could discover the Door Through Space.

Dorothy nella Terra dei Mostri (Oz ReVamped #1)
by Garten GevedonMutaforma, zombie e vampiri? Oddio! Mi chiamo Dorothy Gale e penso che potrei essere morta. Quando io e il mio cane Toto siamo stati travolti da un tornado, siamo atterrati all'inferno. Un inferno molto colorato. Come un arcobaleno che gocciola nel sangue. Ora sembra che questo terribile mondo sotterraneo afflitto da vampiri, zombie e mutaforma sarà il luogo della mia dannazione eterna. Dicono che questa terra terrificante chiamata Oz non sia l'inferno o il purgatorio e che la fuga sia possibile, ma prima devo sopravvivere al viaggio lungo la strada di mattoni gialli intrisa di sangue fino all'unico posto di Oz dove i vampiri non osano calpestare: la Città di Smeraldi. Con le scarpe incantate e l'aiuto dei miei tre nuovi amici - un amichevole zombie, un enorme leone mutaforma e un assassino senza cuore che uccide con l'ascia le malvagie creature della notte (che è anche il ragazzo più sexy che abbia mai visto) - Toto e io abbiamo la possibilità di arrivare alla Zona Libera dai Vampiri. Quando ci arriveremo, devo convincere il mago più potente di questa terra magica di mostri a mandarci fuori da questo radioso incubo e tornare nel mondo dei vivi. Dicono che sia spaventoso quanto questa terra mostruosa, che detesta i visitatori e che anche le creature più orribili si rannicchiano in sua presenza. Ma io devo cercarlo. E quando lo troverò, farò tutto il necessario per farmi mandare a casa.
