Rupetta
Найк Салуэй 0.0
Rupetta is a sewn hardback of 352 pages, printed lithographically, with silk ribbon marker, head and tailbands, and d/w.

Four hundred years ago, in a small town in rural France, a young woman creates the future in the shape of Rupetta. Part mechanical, part human, Rupetta’s consciousness is tied to the women who wind her. In the years that follow she is bought and sold, borrowed, forgotten and revered. By the twentieth century, the Rupettan four-fold law rules everyone’s lives, but Rupetta—the immortal being on whose existence and history those laws are based—is the keeper of a secret that will tear apart the world her followers have built in her name.

John and Emma head to Wales to try and work out who — or what — Emma is. But rather than providing a clear path to their long hoped-for marriage the answer could tear them apart forever. Emma will be forced to betray either John, her beloved Xuan Wu, or her past and birthright. To make matters worse, John’s celestial home at Wudangshan is under attack from the Demon King. Can John find the Emma he knows and love, and save Wudangshan from demonic destruction?

Страшные истории для девочек Уайльд
Эллис Нир 4.1
В лесу висит большая птичья клетка, а в ней — мертвая девочка. Да-да, Изола Уайльд видит много такого, чего не видят другие. Но когда мертвая девочка появляется у Изолы под окном, становится ясно, что ее угрозы — не пустой звук. В одиночку Изоле не справиться. Ее братья-принцы — эльфы, русалки и волшебные существа, словно сошедшие со страниц книги сказок, — защищают ее со всей свирепой силой любящих сердец.
Эллис Нир пишет умно и остро, виртуозно смешивая реальность и вымысел. Крепко держа читателя за руку, она уводит его в темный лес фантазии по стопам Нила Геймана и Анджелы Картер.

Trucksong
Эндрю Макрей 0.0
In a post-apocalyptic Australian landscape dominated by free-wheeling cyborgs, a young man searches for his lost lover who has been kidnapped by a rogue AI truck, the Brumby King. Along the way, he teams with Sinnerman, a cyborg truck with its own reasons for hating the Brumby King. Before his final confrontation with the brumbies, he must learn more about the broken-down world and his own place in it - and then face his worst fears. Wildly inventive, moving and exquisitely written, Trucksong is a coming-of-age story about how the only meaning to be found in a world in slow decay is that which you make for yourself.
