Martin Millar Libri

Kalix ha diciassette anni ed è una ragazza ribelle, una ragazza lupo. Ricchissima e nobile, ultima discendente della più antica dinastia di licantropi scozzesi, i MacRinnalch, ha trasgredito le regole della famiglia innamorandosi di Gawain, giovane lupo mannaro di umili origini, e adesso si nasconde, inseguita dai sicari, tra le strade di Londra. Vestita di stracci e magrissima ai limiti dell’anoressia, per tenersi su sorseggia del laudano da cui ormai è dipendente. Certa di aver tagliato per sempre i ponti con la sua famiglia, Kalix si troverà suo malgrado coinvolta nella lotta per la successione alla reggia dei MacRinnalch, circondata da una serie di personaggi stravaganti: sua sorella, una stilista di tendenza dotata di poteri magici, le giovani cugine, dissolute musiciste della scena punk londinese, e due giovani umani, studenti universitari, che si prenderanno cura di lei, ammaliati fin dal primo istante da questa creatura straordinaria. Ambiziosi, romantici e ribelli, i giovani licantropi di Martin Millar si muovono con scaltrezza in una società contemporanea, ricca di conflitti e proprio come i ragazzi di oggi dimostrano di aver capito il valore assoluto dell’amicizia e della solidarietà oltre ogni altra cosa.

Now eighteen, Scottish teenage werewolf Kalix MacRinnalch is settling in London, though she still struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-abuse. Her new friends support her – and all is fine until the Guild of Werewolf Hunters start picking off her clan, one by one. Most of the Scottish Werewolf Clan have a very low opinion of Kalix Macrinnalch, youngest daughter of the Thane. There is little sympathy for her illiteracy, her substance abuse, her self-harming, her eating disorder, her anxiety and depression and her propensity for extreme violence. Safe from her clan in London, and living with two friendly students, she's been much calmer. If only she were allowed to live quietly, she might get on top of her problems. Unfortunately, that's difficult for the young werewolf. She's still the number one target for the werewolf hunters, and they're stepping up their efforts to find her. And no matter how Kalix tries to make her life more normal, there will always come a time when, under threat, her insanity and battle-madness will descend on her, and the skinny young girl will again transform into the most feared and ferocious werewolf in the country.

Meet Scottish teenager Kalix MacRinnalch - she's a werewolf with attitude . . . In the follow-up to LONELY WEREWOLF GIRL, Martin Millar has created a genre- bending piece of hilarious genius

This is the story of Melody Paradise. You'll like her - everybody does. Women aspire to be like her and men fall in love with her. Melody is kind, spiritual and very beautiful. She's also on a mission... and nothing is going to stand in her way. The traveling community to which she belongs has become horribly fragmented by a series of mysterious and chaotic happenings. Her mission is to reunite them. She organises a festival as the perfect vehicle to bring them together, during which an amazing story unfolds, often funny, sometimes sad, always compelling... and with a twist in the tail. Through the words and eyes of Martin Millar, the reluctant guest novelist at Melody's festival, we become privileged observers of a world that most of us would struggle to even imagine.

There is something about Lux. He’s a thief and a liar; he is selfish and self-absorbed and hopelessly vain. But while he looks like Lana Turner and romances like a true Casanova, Lux is actually more like a bumbling, oblivious Mary Tyler Moore. Amid shouting mobs, police shields, and the hurled bricks of the ’80s Brixton riots, Lux is searching for Pearl—the love of his life. Her home has been burned down by a stray petrol bomb, and she’s searching for sanctuary along with her friend Nicky. Nicky is traumatized after having killed her computer—her best friend—and is herself being followed by Happy Science PLC. It is their plan to breed a superior next generation by implanting the sperm of genius men inside beautiful women. She knows too much about the plan. Lux is helped in his quest by Kalia, a castaway of Heaven attempting to get back in God’s good graces by performing one million good deeds over countless lifetimes. There’s also a thrash metal band, a riot-party, past lives, and KY. Lots of KY.
