Book Description
A new Deadtown novel in the acclaimed dark urban fantasy series by the author of Bloodstone and Hellforged... They call it Deadtown: Boston’s quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents, a result of the zombie plague. Most humans avoid it like...well, like the plague—but shapeshifter Victory Vaughn, Boston’s only professional demon slayer, isn’t exactly human. Boston’s demons have been disappearing, and Vicky’s clients are canceling left and right. While fewer demons might seem like a good thing, Vicky suspects foul play. A missing Celtic cauldron from Harvard’s Peabody museum leads her to an unwelcome conclusion: Pryce, her demi-demon cousin and bitter enemy, is trying to regain his full powers. But Pryce isn’t alone. He’s conjured another, darker villain from Vicky’s past. To stop them from destroying everything she loves, she’ll have to face her own worst fear—in the realm of the dead itself.

Dark-Land: Memoir of a Secret Childhood
Author: Kevin Hart
Publisher: Paul Dry Books
ISBN: 1589881893
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
"Put this beautiful book on your shelf between Frank Conroy's Stop-Time and Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life."—William Giraldi, author of The Hero's Body This powerful memoir from poet Kevin Hart traces his difficult childhood as a "backward boy" in a poor part of London, a disorienting move to tropical Australia, and the secrets he and his family kept from one another. Dark-Land: Memoir of a Secret Childhood is Kevin Hart’s searing, yet at times hilarious, narrative of his first thirteen years. It is a story of survival and transformation, of deception and recovery, and it passes from a frightening childhood in the East-End of London to a new and bewildering life in sub-tropical Australia. Throughout, Hart draws on John Bunyan’s evocation of “Dark-Land” in Pilgrim’s Progress, the place Valiant-for-Truth leaves in order to seek the Celestial City. But Dark-Land is no allegory. We see Hart’s hidden inner life, his family’s penchant for keeping secrets, and their illusions about the nature of their shared past. We see Hart grow from being the despair of his teachers in a rough primary school to experiencing a “conversion” in a math class in Brisbane, Australia, which turned him into a Christian, a poet, and an academic. Written in elegant, lucid prose, without a trace of sentimentality, Dark-Land is a memoir of a working-class childhood, a narrative of a migrant, and the story of a convert to Christianity.

Dagburz. Dark land
Author: José Gabriel Alfaro
Publisher: Angels Fortune Editions
ISBN: 8412887395
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
I am an old sorcerer who has lived too long and was seduced by darkness for a long time. I discovered the light in the words. Some time ago, I found a text that made me reflect and has inspired this manuscript. It started like this: My name is Leirbag. I have fought alongside great wizards, warriors and elves, but no one tells a story about me. I suppose it's because my race is considered savages, murderers, deformed and a long list of unpleasant adjectives. But I am also part of the great stories that became legendary. If you haven't already guessed who I am, I'll tell you that I'm a despicable orc with a desire for revenge. Dagburz, dark land is an epic fantasy novel that tells the battles from the perspective of the most dastardly being of all. Using a direct narrative with a unique style, the author aims to give the story a different approach to the adventure classics, but respecting its essence.

Darklands
Author: Niels Krause-Kjær
Publisher: Lindhardt og Ringhof
ISBN: 8726832631
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"Darklands" is Niels Krause-Kjær’s independent sequel to the filmed bestselling novel "Solitaire". Suspicion of fraud at the highest level turns out to have threads reaching far into Danish democracy. A young civil servant in the Ministry of the Interior is murdered, the day before parliamentary elections are called. The journalist Ulrik Torp, who after a round of job cuts has ended up on social security, is sent by the Job Centre to a company internship at the Daily News and starts writing about the murder. The young civil servant had allegedly got wind of a widespread deception and, together with a journalist student intern, Ulrik Torp comes upon the trail of a small circle of former politicians and top officials who seem ready to use all means at their disposal to defend society against an illiberal agenda ruled by tweets and Facebook posts. Like "Solitaire", "Darklands" moves in the border zone between media and politics and describes current political dilemmas, just as it draws on the factual story about The Firm – a private intelligence service set up in Denmark after World War II and allegedly closed down in the 1960s – into a contemporary context. Niels Krause-Kjær (born 1963) is a Danish journalist. After a period as press chief for the Danish Conservative Party’s Parliamentary Group, he wrote the political thriller "Solitaire", which became an award-winning film by Nikolaj Arcel. "Darklands" is the second volume in the series about journalist Ulrik Torp. This thriller is also being filmed.
