Джо Хилл3.9 Перед вами дебютный сборник рассказов Джо Хилла, который сразу поставил автора в один ряд с такими корифеями жанра мистики, как Говард Лавкрафт, Рэй Брэдбери, Стивен Кинг. Четырнадцать историй, каждая из которых будет держать вас в напряжении вместе с их героями. Ведь как сказал сам Джо Хилл в интервью журналу Locus: "Многие люди в моих историях несчастны. Мне нравится писать о людях, которые в каком-то роде плохие, – они принимают неправильные моральные решения, плохо обращаются со своими друзьями и лгут самим себе. Многие рассказы – о плохих людях, пытающихся пробить себе путь назад к добру..."

Холли Филлипс0.0 “The essential Holly Phillips story begins like this: In a world that felt too little, there lived a girl who saw too much.”—Sean Stewart
In the Palace of Repose is a collection of nine such stories, ranging from the delightfully fantastic "In the Palace of Repose," to the delicately horrific "One of the Hungry Ones," to the hauntingly literary "The Other Grace." Here indeed are young women, and young men, who have seen too much, and who have been abandoned to wrestle alone with the strange, the wonderful, the terrifying. Some triumph, some tragically fail. Most struggle on beyond the boundaries of their stories, carrying their wonders and horrors into their lives, into their worlds-worlds, and lives, startlingly like our own.
Sarah Monette0.0 Mélusine — a city of secrets and lies, pleasure and pain, magic and corruption — and destinies lost and found.
Felix Harrowgate is a dashing, highly respected wizard. But his aristocratic peers don't know his dark past — how his abusive former master enslaved him, body and soul, and trained him to pass as a nobleman. Within the walls of the Mirador — Melusine's citadel of power and wizardry — Felix believed he was safe. He was wrong. Now, the horrors of his previous life have found him and threaten to destroy all he has since become.
Mildmay the Fox is used to being hunted. Raised as a kept-thief and trained as an assassin, he escaped his Keeper long ago and lives on his own as a cat burglar. But now he has been caught by a mysterious foreign wizard using a powerful calling charm. And yet the wizard was looking not for Mildmay — but for Felix Harrowgate." Thrown together by fate, the broken wizard Felix and the wanted killer Mildmay journey far from Melusine through lands thick with strange magics and terrible demons of darkness. But it is the shocking secret from their pasts, linking them inexorably together, that will either save them, or destroy them.
Анна Тамбур0.0 Angela Pendergast, escapee from the Australian bush, grew up with the smell of hot mutton fat in her hair, the thought of her teeth crunching a cold Tim Tam chocolate biscuit-the height of decadent frivolity.

So when the Devil drops into her bedroom in her sharehouse in inner-city Sydney with a contract in hand, she signs. He's got only a Hell's week to fulfil his side, but in the meantime he must chaperone her-or is it the other way around?
