        What on Earth am I?

        by Lara Salomon

        What on Earth am I? is Lara Salomon's and Megan Bird's first children's book together, investigating complex topics, like identity, diversity, and existentialism, for kids. It is a wonderful picture book for children with more questions than answers about the world. The book follows a young child’s over-active imagination, which often leaves them confused as to what kind of creature they are. They try their very best to discover the answer by recalling the many creatures that they've read about in their storybooks and fairytales. "I've been reading all these stories, and they've got me quite confused. Because they feature all these creatures, and I'm really not amused."

LelyaCould be there anything more frightening than when The Bald Man and The Barefoot come to the village? Who steals magic stuff from kids? How to transform yourself into a flying old witch whose name is Baba Yaga? Where does the last way of the werewolves end? You will find the exciting answers to all these questionsin this new novel about the adventures of Lelya, The Bald Man and their friends in horrible world where almost nothing good and bright left…But there is no other world! Book III. AN ENGINEER. Looks like we have already found out what is that evil Force that wants to destroy all people and all living creatures on the Earth but nobody knows how to overcome it. The Bald Man proposed a plan, which looked so hopeless, terrifying, and adventurous that nobody liked it - nor Marichka, neither Lelya or The Beard Man, but yet all our heroes and even the rooster named Falkon agree to participate and to help. It is scary even to imagine how the story might end. And yet – where did this dark underground Force came from? Why is it so hostile to everything alive? The answers to these questions probably are hidden in the fate of another character, who called himself an Engineer. The last book of a trilogy “Through the forest. Across the sky. On the water” is as full of fantastic adventures and adventure fiction as the two previous ones: “The Bald Man” and “Lelya”.

She only knows they’re relentless.   Neil Drigan has no interest in finding a mate. Bind himself to one woman? No thank you. Permanent is for the wolf pack Alpha—his brother. Yet lately he persistently dreams about running, in full wolf form, to save a beautiful woman who smells of flowers—and death.   At first the woman’s identity is a mystery, until he realizes the dreams are a residual imprint of something that really happened. Not only is the woman temptation wrapped in real flesh and blood, she’s still in danger. And the one thing he never thought he wanted.   This title is a reprint originally released as “Unholy Night”   Warning: Werewolves, vampires, Templar Knights with attitudes, and a girl who must face her biggest fear in order to find love.

        Chroniken von Chaos und Ordnung. Band 2: Telos Malakin. Prüfung

        by Praßl, Judith

        Amalea, in the year 342, after the foundation of Fiorinde. The time of darkness is over. The people of Amalea are about to clean the world from the last supporters of darkness and help the gods back to their power… Thorn, Chara, Telos and Bargh swore fidelity to Al’Jebal. Although the old man is seen as the former wiredrawer of chaos and the personification of evil, they get along with their new principle. And Chara even finds her real master in him. Only Thorn stays suspicious and follows his own plans. After a hard apprenticeship under the best of Al’Jebal’s supporters, the heroes are sent to their first mission far away from Ashrans and the Valianian Imperium. What the four do not know is this: The mission is one of three tests from Al’Jebal that are meant to prepare them for each of their fates. Telos discovers his true destiny during this first deadly mission at the Kabugna/Islands, Chara is confronted with a shocking realization of her own nature and Thorn has to face his past which directly takes him back to the Valianian Imperium to end what was once started. Meanwhile, the first signs appear that do not announce a golden time period at all. And while Chara, Telos, Bargh and Thorn each seal their fate, Al’Jebal starts to prepare for a war that will shake the world… “There is a principle that resembles fate very much. It follows the same rules, results in the same thing and sends us on the same journey. It whisperingly talks of a beginning, of a change, of an end. Where the Gods have no power, there it is the Alpha and the Omega. This principle is called strategy. If it is supposed to be like this, then let it be. Everyone is there where he is supposed to be.” Series: Amalea: The last chaos/war during the third Dark Period was won by the supporters of order. In the year 342 after the foundation of Fiorinde, the people of Amalea believe that chaos, thus Evil, is defeated. There is only one who sees the world with different eyes. He lives in the South of Amalea, is famous for his army of Orcs and Assassins and is said to be one of the most powerful surviving supporters of chaos. His name is Al’Jebal. The chronicles of chaos and order is a story about the winding road of an Assassin, a war priest, a ranger and a barbarian. While they are entangled in the big war between the powers of chaos and order, they gradually discover the truth about the origin of the world, of humanity and of magic. During their contribution to the war they realize that the fate of Amalea is controlled by only a few and that the world is far bigger than assumed. Thereby they walk all paths – in light and in the darkness, between chaos and order, as murderer and lovers, as hunters and hunted… And until the end they are accompanied by a man named Al’Jebal. In a world which offers everything that ever existed in the genre of fantasy (Elves, Dwarfs, Dragons, Vampires, Werewolves, Centaurs, Demons and Gods…) a cosmos unfolds which is still completely strange to us. And the best known being carries this cosmos within itself – the human. Whenever a human is the center of a fantasy novel and is shown in all its facets, the bright and the dark ones, without any kind of extenuation, fantasy comes to life, turns into High Fantasy and transforms into Real Fantasy.

        Too Much Salt in the Spaghetti

        by Clémentine Mélois

        All of the codes of the fantasy genre are revisited: werewolves, gnomes, mermaids, ogres, vampires, mummies... It all started because my dad put too much salt in the spaghetti. Rosalie, my little sister, and I got thirsty in the middle of the night and that’s when we heard a noise outside. So we crept outside to take a peek (even if Rosalie is little). And that’s how we found out that our next-door neighbor (who is also our teacher) was a werewolf! Let me tell you, a werewolf wearing a flowery dress and lavender perfume is strange to say the least! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let me tell you what happened next...

      • The Letter Kills

        by Carlo Ginzburg

        The Letter Kills will include approximately 30 essays: a few unpublished, but most of them already published in English, in Italian, in French. Each essay deals with a case, placed at the intersection of a variety of disciplines: history, art history, anthropology, literature. The topics will include Augustine, Giorgione, Vasari, Hume, Proust, microhistory, werewolves, shamans, fake news, and so on. The potential reader, presumably struck by this variety, will ask: is it possible to identify a running thread, a common element in those essays? Possibly – starting from the title, which overturns the hierarchy between letter and spirit emphasized by Paul (2. Corinthians 3:4-6). If we reconstruct the letter (of a text, of an image) and the contexts in which it is delivered and received, we’ll discover that the “letter” is a tool, and sometimes a weapon, which can change (as sometimes did change) the world. But this reconstruction is not self-evident. Each essay will be an exercise in slow reading – Friedrich Nietzsche’s definition of philology – associated with the speed of the web. (An association analyzed in the essay Conversations with Orion). Hopefully, the reader will share the feeling of being involved in the search.
