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.

La Batalla de Endor fragmentó al Imperio, dispersando sus fuerzas restantes por toda la galaxia. Pero los meses siguientes a la victoria rebelde no han sido fáciles. La Nueva República ha sufrido un ataque devastador por parte de un remanente imperial, obligando a la nueva democracia a aumentar su persecución contra su enemigo oculto. Por su papel en la mortífera emboscada, la Gran Almirante Rae Sloane es la criminal de guerra imperial más buscada y la piloto Norra Wexley, de nuevo de servicio a petición de Leia, lidera su búsqueda. Pero algo más que su lealtad a la Nueva República impulsa a Norra: su marido fue convertido en un peón asesino en el complot de asesinato de Sloane, y ahora ella quiere venganza y justicia. Pero Sloane, también, se encuentra en una furiosa misión: perseguir al traicionero Gallius Rax al planeta Jakku. Como verdadera mente tras el devastador ataque del Imperio, Rax ha llevado al Imperio hasta el momento definitivo. El estratega ha reunido los restos de la poderosa maquinaria de guerra del Imperio, preparándose para ejecutar el plan final del difunto Emperador Palpatine. A medida que la flota imperial está alrededor de Jakku, una armada de cazas de la República se aproxima para acabar con lo que empezó en Endor. Norra y su equipo surgen entre un apocalíptico choque que dejará el cielo y la tierra devastados. Y el futuro de la galaxia será finalmente decidido.

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.

Now available in paperback, Miss Peregrine meets The Graveyard Book in this middle grade adventure about rival siblings running a monster mortuary. ​ Thirteen-year-old Molly doesn't know how she got the short end of the stick--being raised by her neglectful father--while Dustin, the older brother she's never met, got their mother and the keys to the family estate. But now the siblings are both orphaned, she's come home for her inheritance, and if Dustin won't welcome her into the family business, then she'll happily take her half in cash. There's just one problem: the family business is a mortuary for monsters, and Molly's not sure she's ready to deal with mysterious doors, talking wolves, a rogue devourer of magic, and a secret cemetery. It's going to take all of Dustin's stuffy supernatural knowledge and Molly's most heroic cosplay (plus a little help from non-human friends) for the siblings to figure it out and save the day...if only they can get along for five minutes. Bestselling author Chuck Wendig's middle grade debut is equal parts spooky, funny, and heartfelt--perfect for Halloween and year-round reading!

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...
