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.

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 quattordici lunghissimi anni...

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.

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...

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...

È il protettore di Gotham City, spirito vendicativo e Cavaliere Oscuro. Per anni ha condotto una guerra solitaria per rendere le sue strade sicure. Ma questa notte, questa guerra ha richiesto il suo ultimo e più grande sacrificio: Batman stesso. Il giustiziere mascherato giace in un sarcofago nella Crime Alley, il luogo in cui è nato. I suoi più cari amici e i suoi nemici più letali si riuniscono per rendere omaggio. Ognuno di loro racconta una storia diversa su Batman: come ha vissuto e come è morto. Come un'ombra nella notte, una figura oscura veglia su questa macabra commemorazione. Sa che le storie contraddittorie raccontate da eroi e cattivi non possono essere tutte vere. Prima che la notte finisca, prima che il sarcofago di Batman si chiuda per sempre, questa figura nascosta deve trovare risposta alla domanda: che fine ha fatto il Cavaliere Oscuro?

Sussex, Inghilterra. Un uomo di mezza età torna nella casa della sua infanzia per un funerale. Sebbene la casa non esista più, è attratto dalla fattoria in fondo al sentiero, dove a sette anni aveva conosciuto Lettie Hempstock e la sua famiglia. Dopo decenni, i ricordi riaffiorano quando si siede vicino allo stagno, che Lettie sosteneva fosse un oceano. Il passato ritorna con eventi strani e spaventosi, legati a un tragico suicidio avvenuto quarant'anni prima, che aveva evocato forze antiche e oscure. Creature misteriose si scatenano, e il narratore, allora solo un ragazzo, deve affrontare l'orrore con l'aiuto delle tre donne della fattoria. Lettie, la più giovane, afferma che lo stagno è un oceano, mentre la più anziana ricorda il Big Bang. Questo romanzo di Gaiman è una storia poetica e terrificante sui ricordi e sulla magia che si cela nei luoghi meno esplorati della realtà. Ci sono libri che leggi e libri che ami, ma raramente se ne incontra uno che ti cattura anima e corpo fin dalla prima pagina.

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".

Un bambino che sparisce in un quadro. Due amici che fanno dolcetto-scherzetto in una casa dalle luci spente. Una nonna che parla con le ombre. Un oste che prepara salsicce di maiale alquanto sospette. Pensate che siano storielle per bambini? Settantadue grandi autori per adulti e per ragazzi si sfidano a farvi provare un brivido in meno di un minuto, chi con un racconto, chi con un’illustrazione, una poesia, una filastrocca o un fumetto. Neil Gaiman, Joyce Carol Oates, Lemony Snicket, Jonathan Lethem, Margaret Atwood, Jerry Spinelli, Holly Black, Brian Selznick, R.L. Stine e altri ancora: dallo humour nero all’horror puro, in una o tre pagine al massimo proverete settantadue golosissimi spaventi, dopo i quali non potrete più guardare allo stesso modo il gatto in fondo al vicolo, l’armadio dall’anta cigolante e perfino la vostra immagine riflessa allo specchio.

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

The storytellers knew their craft and bewitched listeners would sit and listen long into the night as moths flitted around overhead. The Moth is a non-profit group that is trying to recapture this lost art, helping storytellers - old hands and novices alike - hone their stories before playing to packed crowds at sold-out live events.The very best of these stories are collected here: whether it's Bill Clinton's hell-raising press secretary or a leading geneticist with a family secret; a doctor whisked away by nuns to Mother Teresa's bedside or a film director saving her father's Chinatown store from money-grabbing developers; the Sultan of Brunei's concubine or a friend of Hemingway's who accidentally talks himself into a role as a substitute bullfighter, these eccentric, pitch-perfect stories - all, amazingly, true - range from the poignant to the downright hilarious.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
