      Ogni mattino Bod fa colazione con le buone cose che prepara la signora Owens. Poi va a scuola e ascolta le lezioni del maestro Silas. E il pomeriggio passa il tempo con Liza, sua compagna di giochi. Bod sarebbe un bambino normale. Se non fosse che Liza è una strega sepolta in un terreno sconsacrato. Silas è un fantasma. E la signora Owens è morta duecento anni fa. Bod era ancora in fasce quando è scampato all'omicidio della sua famiglia gattonando fino al cimitero sulla collina, dove i morti l'hanno accolto e adottato per proteggerlo dai suoi assassini. Da allora è Nobody, il bambino che vive tra le tombe, e grazie a un dono della Morte sa comunicare con i defunti. Dietro le porte del cimitero nessuno può fargli del male. Ma Bod è un vivo, e forte è il richiamo del mondo oltre il cancello. Un mondo in cui conoscerà l'amicizia dei suoi simili, ma anche l'impazienza di un coltello che lo aspetta da undici lunghissimi anni...

    • An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here and here In una fredda sera di ottobre una stella cadente attraversa il cielo e il giovane Tristan, per conquistare la bellissima Victoria, promette di andarla a prendere. Dovrà così oltrepassare il varco proibito nel muro di pietra a est del villaggio e avventurarsi nel bosco dove ogni nove anni si raccoglie un incredibile mercato di oggetti magici. E solo in quell'occasione che agli umani è concesso inoltrarsi nel mondo di Faerie. Tristan non sa di essere stato concepito proprio lì da una bellissima fata dagli occhi viola e da un giovane umano e non sa neppure che i malvagi figli del Signore degli Alti Dirupi sono anche loro a caccia della stella...

      In casa di Coraline ci sono tredici porte che permettono di entrare e uscire da stanze e corridoi, e poi ce n'è una, la quattordicesima, che dà su un muro di mattoni. Oltre quel muro dovrebbe esserci un appartamento vuoto, ma... sarà vero? Perché un giorno Coraline scopre che dietro la porta si apre un corridoio scuro, e alla fine del corridoio c'è una casa identica alla sua, e nella cucina della casa vive una donna uguale a sua madre. Quasi uguale, anzi, perché al posto degli occhi ha due lucidi bottoni, attaccati con ago e filo. Amorosa e attenta, l'altra madre le chiede di diventare sua figlia: in cambio avrà tutto ciò che desidera, e anche di più. Ma Coraline, bambina saggia e intrepida, capisce subito di essere finita in una ragnatela fatta di nebbia e tenebra, al cui centro c'è un ragno straordinariamente pericoloso. E sa che, tra incanti e spaventi, gatti parlanti e spettri bambini, topi musicisti e vecchie attrici indomabili, toccherà a lei sconfiggere il buio e liberare i prigionieri dell'altra madre…

      Odino il supremo, saggio, audace e astuto; Thor, suo figlio, incredibilmente forte ma non certo il più intelligente fra gli dèi; e Loki, figlio di un gigante, fratello di sangue di Odino, insuperabile e scaltrissimo manipolatore. Sono alcuni dei protagonisti che animano il nuovo libro di Neil Gaiman: noto per essersi ispirato spesso ai miti dell'antichità nel creare universi e personaggi fantastici, questa volta Gaiman ci offre una formidabile riscrittura dei grandi miti del Nord. Lungo un arco narrativo che inizia con la genesi dei nove leggendari mondi, ripercorriamo le avventure e le gesta di dèi, nani e giganti. Tra i racconti più avventurosi ci sono quello di Thor, che, per riprendersi il martello che gli è stato rubato, è costretto a travestirsi da donna, un'impresa non da poco considerando la sua barba e il suo sconfinato appetito; o quello di Kvasir - il più saggio fra gli dèi - il cui sangue viene trasformato in un idromele che colma di poesia chi lo assaggia. Il finale del libro invece è dedicato a Ragnarok, il giorno del giudizio, il crepuscolo degli dèi, ma anche la nascita di un nuovo tempo e nuovi popoli.

    • Sotto le strade di Londra c'è un mondo che la maggior parte delle persone non riesce neppure a immaginare. Una città di mostri e di santi, di assassini e di angeli, cavalieri in armatura e pallide ragazze in velluto nero: questa è l'altra Londra di chi è precipitato tra le fenditure. Richard Mayhew è un giovane uomo d'affari che sta per scoprirla: un singolo atto di generosità lo catapulta lontano da una vita tranquilla e prevedibile e lo fa entrare in un mondo che è al tempo stesso stranamente familiare e incredibilmente bizzarro. C'è una ragazza di nome Porta e delle persone che vogliono ucciderla. C'è un angelo che vive in un salone illuminato dalle candele, un signore, Old Bailey, che abita sui tetti. Ci sono ratti intelligenti e un Conte che tiene il proprio seguito sulla carrozza di un treno della metropolitana. Un ponte nella notte sta a guardia della perigliosa via verso Knightsbridge, dove vive il Popolo delle Fogne; c'è la Bestia nel labirinto, e si scoprono pericoli e piaceri che superano la piú fervida immaginazione… Richard, che vorrebbe solo tornarsene a casa, troverà ad attenderlo uno strano destino. Laggiú, sotto le strade della sua città - in quel luogo chiamato Nessun dove.

      Appena uscito dopo tre anni in carcere, Shadow fa conoscenza con un enigmatico Mister Wednesday che gli offre di lavorare per lui. Rimasto senza risorse né famiglia, Shadow finisce per accettare. Ma ci metterà ancora qualche tempo per capire chi sia davvero il suo boss: Odino, la somma divinità del pantheon nordico, arrivato in America con una nave di vichinghi e che ora tira a campare come può. Come lo slavo Chernobog, ridotto a vivere della pensione maturata negli anni di lavoro al macello di Chicago, come l'africano Anansi, come la celtica Easter e la mediterranea Bilquis che batte i marciapiedi di Hollywood, come tutte le divinità maggiori o minori, dimenticate in un mondo che venera altri dèi, più belli e nuovi. È per muovere battaglia contro di loro che Wednesday ha arruolato Shadow, e per reclutare i compagni di lotta i due si metteranno on the road attraversando in lungo e in largo l'America più profonda. Fino al giorno della battaglia finale, uno scontro di proporzioni epiche per conquistare l'anima stessa dell'America...

      L'idea di questa antologia, pubblicata come numero unico della rivista di Dave Eggers "McSweeney's", nasce dalla volontà del curatore, Michael Chabon, di ridare dignità e visibilità alle short stories di avventure in cui un tempo si cimentavano autori quali Balzac, Conrad, Henry James ed Edith Wharton. Una raccolta in cui il racconto breve riacquista la sua dimensione più classica, tradizionale e avvincente: quella di narrarre storie avventurose e piene di thrilling. Gli autori chiamati a misurarsi con questa sfida sono tra i più rappresentativi della letteratura angloamericana da Stephen King a Rick Moody, da Michael Crichton a Neil Gaiman, da Elmore Leonard a Nick Hornby per finire con Dave Heggers e Harlan Ellison.

      Un'aliena in giro per la galassia si separa dal proprio gruppo di compagni di viaggio e incontra due individui provenienti dal luogo più pericoloso dell'universo: il sobborgo londinese di Croydon. Da un racconto delicato, tenero e surreale di Neil Gaiman, Fábio Moon e Gabriel Bá hanno tratto questo adattamento sognante e perfetto, che ha riscosso un immenso successo negli Stati Uniti. La storia di una sera, una festa, il germe di un amore e delle sue imprevedibili conseguenze sta ora diventando anche un film, ma in questo volumetto davvero prezioso - reso ancora più unico dalla sezione inedita in America di bozzetti e studi di atmosfere che i due gemelli brasiliani hanno reso disponibili per questa edizione - c'è tutta la magia e la poetica di Gaiman, racchiusa in una narrazione visuale di livello altissimo.

    • Nobody Owens cade dal melo ai confini del cimitero, nel terreno sconsacrato dove sono sepolti i malvagi, e decide di donare una lapide alla strega che lo soccorre. Jack incontra un troll sotto il ponte della ferrovia e da quel momento la sua vita sarà legata a un terribile patto di morte. Un nobile cavaliere trova il Santo Graal nel salotto di una vecchina che non ha alcuna intenzione di spostarlo dal suo grazioso caminetto. Tra l'horror, il fantasy e il giallo hard boiled, undici perle inedite per rabbrividire e sorridere. Racconti che, come scrive lo stesso Gaiman, sono "viaggi fino all'estremo opposto dell'universo che puoi fare con la certezza di essere di ritorno per l'ora di cena".

    • Jack Kirby created or co-created some of comic books' most popular super heroes, including Captain America, The X-Men, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The Mighty Thor, Darkseid, and The New Gods. More significantly, he created much of the visual language for fantasy and adventure comics. There were comics before Kirby, but for the most part their page layout, graphics, and visual dynamic aped what was being done in syndicated newspaper strips. Almost everything that was different about comic books began in the 1940s on the drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story by one who knew him well-Mark Evanier. First issued in 2008, Kirby: King of Comics was the first overview of the legendary comic book creator's career. It is now available in a smaller, more affordable package, revised and expanded for Kirby's centennial
