Dust&Grim

release date: Oct 16, 2023
Dust&Grim
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.

Gods and Monsters: Unclean Spirits

release date: May 07, 2013
Gods and Monsters: Unclean Spirits
The force of nature that is Chuck Wendig returns with an original urban fantasy novel, creating a brand new series for Abaddon Books. Five years ago, it all went wrong for Cason Cole. He lost his wife and son, lost everything, and was bound into service to a man who chews up human lives and spits them out, a predator who holds nothing dear and respects no law. Now, as the man he both loves and hates lies dying at his feet, the sounds of the explosion still ringing in his ears, Cason is finally free. The gods and goddesses are real. A polytheistic pantheon—a tangle of divine hierarchies—once kept the world at an arm’s length, warring with one another for mankind’s belief and devotion. It was a grim and bloody balance, but a balance just the same. When one god triumphed, driving all other gods out of Heaven, it was back to the bad old days: cults and sycophants, and the terrible retribution the gods visit on those who spite them. None of which is going to stop Cason from getting back what’s his...

I vagabondi
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.

You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton!

release date: Apr 13, 2021
You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton!
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.
