The press: 'Gilead is a beautiful work - demanding, grave and lucid ...Robinson's words have a spiritual force that's very rare in contemporary fiction' - James Wood, New York Times Book Review 'Serenely beautiful, and written in a prose so gravely measured and thoughtful, that one feels touched with grace just to read it. There's nothing flashy in these pages, and yet one regularly pauses to reread sentences, sometimes for their beauty, sometimes for their truth ...A portrait of the human condition - prey to isolation and loneliness, ever needful of faith and love' - Washington Post Text in English Hardback,  Diana Wynne Jones Charmed Life Chrestomanci serie Prijs Euro 12,95  Welcome to the worlds of Chrestomanci, where magic is as common as mathematics – and twice as troublesome in the wrong hands! Everybody says that Gwendolen Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her enormously when she is taken to live in Chrestomanci Castle. Her brother Eric (better known as Cat) is not so keen, for he has no talent for magic at all. However, life with the great enchanter and his family is not what either of them expects and sparks soon begin to fly… Winner of the Guardian Award. Text in English Niet meer leverbaar!

Kate, Alexander, Nadia, and their team, agreeing to aid the rescue, enlists the help of a local pilot to lead them to the swampy forests of Ngoubé.

Then a psychologist at a Los Angeles hospital for the criminally insane is murdered in a similar grisly fashion.

John Connolly, bestselling author of five brilliantly scary mystery novels, now turns his pen to the short story to give us more than a dozen chilling tales of the supernatural. In this macabre collection, echoing masters of the genre from M.R. James to Stephen King, Connolly delves into our darkest fears -- lost lovers, missing children, subterranean creatures and predatory demons.

Framing the collection are two substantial novellas: The Cancer Cowboy Rides charts the fatal progress of a modern-day grim reaper, while The Reflecting Eye is a haunted house tale with a twist and marks the return of private detective Charlie Parker, the troubled hero of Connolly's crime novels.

The perfect antidote to Christmas cheer, Nocturnes is a masterly volume to be read with the lights on menace has never been so seductive ...

The author:
John Connolly was born in Dublin in 1968 and is a regular contributor to the Irish Times.

It's 1924, and New York is the centre of the universe. Henry falls on his feet, as -a handsome man with a sandwich board, and - this being "Prohibition - behind his sandwich board a stash of hooch for the speak-easies of the Lower East Side. When he starts hiring kids to carry boards for him, he catches the attention of the mobsters who run the district and soon there are eyes on his back and men in the shadows. It is time to leave, for another America: Chicago.

In Chicago there is no past waiting to jump on Henry. The place is wild, as new as he is, and newest of all is the music. Furious, wild, happy music played by a man with a trumpet and bleeding lips called Louis Armstrong.

His music is everywhere, coming from every open door, every phonograph. But Armstrong is a prisoner of his colour; there are places a black man cannot go, things he cannot do. And the mob is in Chicago too: they own every stage - and they own the man up on the stage. Armstrong needs a man, a white man, and the man he chooses is Henry Smart.

This is a novel of prodigious energy and invention. Its language and its rhythms are as breathtaking as the music it celebrates. It shows yet again that as a writer Roddy Doyle is unequalled in his vision, his ambition, his ability to surprise us with each new novel.

Willie Chandran - whom we first met in Hay a Life - is a man who has allowed one identity after another to be thrust upon him. Now, in his early forties, after a peripatetic life, he succumbs to the demanding encouragement of his sister - and his own listlessness - and joins an underground movement in India ostensibly devoted to unfettering the lower castes.

But seven years of revolutionary campaigns and several years in jail convince him that the revolution 'had nothing to do with the village people we said we were fighting for,' and he feels himself further than ever 'from his own history and ... from the ideas of himself that might have come to him with that history.'

When he returns to England where, thirty years before, his psychological and physical wanderings began, he finds the fruit of another unexpected social revolution (more magic seeds), and he comes to see himself as a man 'serving an endless prison sentence' - a revelation that may finally release him into his true self

Magic Seeds is a masterpiece, written with all the depth and resonance, the clarity of vision and precision of language that arc the hallmarks of this brilliant writer.

This audacious vision of the nature of love - its appetite, its sublime possession, and its dread - is rich in characters and dramatic events.

The press:
'Morrison is at the very height of her powers. This is a novel that demands to be read at least twice, for it is so rich and satisfying that it sweeps you into a subtle world that you need take in ... quite breathtaking'

There is another 1988. Where purgatory is a motorway service station. Where dodos are very much alive, living in yout pottig shed, and called Alan. And where the future of the universe hangs in the balance of a premier league croquet match.

Literary Detective Thursday Next is on a mission. And it's not just a mission to save the planet. It's a lot more complicated than that.

First, she has to get her job back following the infamous illegal cheese-smuggling incident. Then there's the small matter of persuading Hamlet to attend his conflict resolution classes, and making sure that President-for-LiFe George Formby doesn't lose his seat to a seff-declared Dictator, the decidedly fictional Yorrick Kaine. Not to mention trying to force the evil Goliath Corporation to un-eradicate her husband, Landen Parke-Laine.

Will Thursday ever see Landen again? Is shopping the new religion? Who is cloning Shakespeare? Can she prevent Armageddon? And who will babysit her son while she does it?

Welcome to the Next Dimension - where fiction is definitely very much stranger than truth.

The Ends of Our Tethers shows the high jinks of many folk in the last stages of physical, moral and social decrepitude - a sure tonic for the young.

Illustrated throughout with the author's own eccentric drawings, these are the tales of love and loss as the body ungracefully ages, stories of mischievous old men and messages from Gray himself, proving he is not at the 'end of his tether'.

The novel begins at a time in the unnamed narrator's life when nothing seems to matter. He is filled with a deep sense of ennui and feels disconnected from all that surrounds him.That is until he embarks on a journey to Sicily, the home he has not seen in some fifteen years.

Alane Mason's new translation succeeds wonderfully in bringing this evocative and brilliant novel alive. It is a superb work of fiction, one of the great novels of anti-fascism and a book that is sure to astound contemporary readers for its modernity, lyricism, originality and freshness.
