NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Set between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the never-before-told story that began with Star Wars: Aftermath continues in this thrilling novel, the second book of Chuck Wendig’s bestselling trilogy. It is a dark time for the Empire. . . . The Emperor is dead, and the remnants of his former Empire are in retreat. As the New Republic fights to restore a lasting peace to the galaxy, some dare to imagine new beginnings and new destinies. For Han Solo, that means settling his last outstanding debt, by helping Chewbacca liberate the Wookiee’s homeworld of Kashyyyk. Meanwhile, Norra Wexley and her band of Imperial hunters pursue Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and the Empire’s remaining leadership across the galaxy. Even as more and more officers are brought to justice, Sloane continues to elude the New Republic, and Norra fears Sloane may be searching for a means to save the crumbling Empire from oblivion. But the hunt for Sloane is cut short when Norra receives an urgent request from Princess Leia Organa. The attempt to liberate Kashyyyk has carried Han Solo, Chewbacca, and a band of smugglers into an ambush—resulting in Chewie’s capture and Han’s disappearance. Breaking away from their official mission and racing toward the Millennium Falcon’s last known location, Norra and her crew prepare for any challenge that stands between them and their missing comrades. But they can’t anticipate the true depth of the danger that awaits them—or the ruthlessness of the enemy drawing them into his crosshairs.

Tempo prima, Nate viveva in campagna con il padre violento. Con la sua famiglia non ha mai fatto parola di ciò che successe in quella casa. Tempo prima, Maddie era una bambina che costruiva bambole nella sua cameretta, quando vide qualcosa che non avrebbe dovuto vedere. Tempo prima, qualcosa di sinistro, di famelico, si aggirava per i boschi e le rocce della zona. Ora Nate e Maddie Graves sono sposati, e insieme al figlio Oliver sono tornati dove tutto ebbe inizio. E ciò che avvenne tanto tempo prima sta accadendo di nuovo... e sta accadendo a Oliver, il quale diventa il migliore amico di uno strano ragazzo custode di oscuri segreti e con un debole per la magia nera. Oliver però deve stare attento, perché la loro amicizia li trascinerà al centro di una battaglia tra il bene e il male. Solo che Nate e Maddie hanno un’arma segreta che nessuno potrà mai sottrargli: l’amore che li lega e li rende più forti. La famiglia di Nate torna nella sua casa d’infanzia – e all’oscuro passato che ancora la funesta – in questo capolavoro horror dell’autore di I vagabondi.

Alla tredicenne Molly, nella vita, è toccata la pagliuzza più corta: è stata cresciuta da un padre negligente e perdigiorno che l’ha lasciata senza un tetto sopra la testa, mentre Dustin, il fratello maggiore che non ha mai conosciuto, ha avuto la madre amorevole e le chiavi della tenuta di famiglia. Ma ora che i fratelli sono entrambi orfani, lei torna a casa a reclamare la sua eredità, o per lo meno a dividere i proventi dell’attività di famiglia... Dustin non la accoglie affatto col sorriso sulle labbra, ma c’è anche un altro problema: l’azienda di famiglia è un servizio di pompe funebri per mostri, e Molly non è sicura di essere pronta ad affrontare porte misteriose, lupi parlanti, voci che chiamano nella notte, una canaglia divoratrice di magia e un cimitero segreto... Ci vorranno tutte le conoscenze soprannaturali di Dustin e il costume da cosplay più eroico di Molly (oltre a un piccolo aiuto da parte di amici non umani) per risolvere un inaspettato (mostruoso) problema e a salvare la situazione... Sempre che i due fratelli riescano ad andare d’accordo per cinque minuti! Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A small town is transformed when seven strange trees begin bearing magical apples in this masterpiece of horror from the author of Wanderers and The Book of Accidents. “This masterful outing should continue to earn Wendig comparisons to Stephen King.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • BRAM STOKER AWARD FINALIST • AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker. This is what happens when the townsfolk discover the secret of the orchard. Soon it seems that everyone is consumed by an obsession with the magic of the apples . . . and what’s the harm, if it is making them all happier, more confident, more powerful? Even if something else is buried in the orchard besides the seeds of these extraordinary trees: a bloody history whose roots reach back to the very origins of the town. But now the leaves are falling. The days grow darker. It’s harvest time, and the town will soon reap what it has sown.

Finally--a book of writing advice that accounts for all of the messy, perverse, practical, and inexplicable parts of being a human who writes The truth is that all of the "writing rules" you''ve learned are bullshit.

(That''s you, by the way.)

Shana si sveglia una mattina e scopre la sua sorellina in preda a una strana malattia. Sembra essere sonnambulismo. Non può parlare, non può essere svegliata. E si sta dirigendo con inesorabile determinazione verso una destinazione che solo lei conosce. Ma Shana e sua sorella presto vengono raggiunte da una moltitudine di sonnambuli provenienti da tutta l’America. E come Shana, altri “pastori” seguono il gregge per proteggere i loro amici e familiari sul lungo percorso sconosciuto che li attende. Durante il loro viaggio scopriranno un’America sconvolta dal terrore e dalla violenza, ma l’epidemia apocalittica si rivela meno pericolosa della paura che attanaglia chiunque. Il destino dei vagabondi dipende dunque dallo svelare il mistero del contagio. Il terrificante segreto farà definitivamente a pezzi la nazione o riunirà i sopravvissuti per ricostruire il mondo in frantumi? Con I vagabondi, Chuck Wendig ci mostra la pericolosità di alcuni demoni del nostro tempo, dando vita a una storia ambiziosa, audace e degna di attenzione.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A family returns to their hometown—and to the dark past that haunts them still—in this masterpiece of literary horror by the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • “The dread, the scope, the pacing, the turns—I haven’t felt all this so intensely since The Shining.”—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Public Library, Library Journal Long ago, Nathan lived in a house in the country with his abusive father—and has never told his family what happened there. Long ago, Maddie was a little girl making dolls in her bedroom when she saw something she shouldn’t have—and is trying to remember that lost trauma by making haunting sculptures. Long ago, something sinister, something hungry, walked in the tunnels and the mountains and the coal mines of their hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now, Nate and Maddie Graves are married, and they have moved back to their hometown with their son, Oliver. And now what happened long ago is happening again . . . and it is happening to Oliver. He meets a strange boy who becomes his best friend, a boy with secrets of his own and a taste for dark magic. This dark magic puts them at the heart of a battle of good versus evil and a fight for the soul of the family—and perhaps for all of the world. But the Graves family has a secret weapon in this battle: their love for one another.

In the tradition of inspirational pick-me-ups like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Johnny Sun''s G''Morning, G''Night but with a Calvin & Hobbesian sensibility comes this whimsically nerdy spin, illustrated by Natalie Metzger, on motivating folks into getting creative and "DOING THE THINGS." For several years, Chuck has crafted hilarious and inspirational thoughts of the day--they might begin with an optimistic salvo, but inevitably and mirthfully detour into the demon-summoning, robot-making, or confirming that humans are actually mythical hybrid creatures. Equal parts inspiring, sweet, and very funny, Wendig''s profane and imaginative galvanizing quips in You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton! are sure to amp up readers and motivate them to get things done.

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world’s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes “a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that’s not just about you and me, but all of us, together” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Polygon Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other “shepherds” who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead. For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them—and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them—the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart—or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world. In development for TV by Glen Mazzara, executive producer of The Walking Dead • Look for the sequel, Wayward, now available! “This career-defining epic deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King’s The Stand.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic.”—Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Run Away “A true tour de force.”—Erin Morgenstern, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus “A masterpiece with prose as sharp and heartbreaking as Station Eleven.”—Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M “A magnum opus . . .

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING. As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku. The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion’s victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal—and one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia’s urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane’s assassination plot, and now she wants vengeance as much as justice. Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire’s devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire’s war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine’s final plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided.
