Nichts Währt Ewig: Die Abenteuer von Captain Nichts - Band 2
by Steve VernonEs gibt Superhelden, und dann gibt es noch Captain Nichts – bereit, die Knöchel knacken zu lassen und ein paar Schädel zu brechen – egal, was es kostet. Diese Sammlung enthält fünf wahrhaft unvergessliche Geschichten – drei davon noch gänzlich unbekannt – und dazu ein Nachwort, das einen Blick hinter die Kulissen gewährt, und eine kurze Vorschau auf Apocalypse Nichts, Steve Vernons geplante Captain-Nichts-Novelle. Jede Geschichte ist wild, brutal, ehrlich und überraschend ergreifend. Captain Nichts ist zurück. Und nichts wird ihn aufhalten.
Nichts Zu Verlieren: Die Abenteuer von Captain Nichts - Band 1
by Steve VernonSie glauben, Sie wissen alles über Superhelden? Diese Typen mit den Umhängen und den leicht gestärkten Gummistrumpfhosen. Die von hohen Gebäuden springen und immer das Mädchen kriegen. Sie wissen gar nichts. Begleiten Sie Steve Vernon, Nova Scotias am schwersten schuftenden Horrorautoren, in die Welt von Captain Nichts. Es ist eine Welt ohne Hoffnung, eine Welt, die so kalt und dunkel ist wie das Herz eines Vermieters, drei Tage nachdem die Miete fällig gewesen wäre. Es ist eine Welt, die Batman schweißtreibende Alpträume verpassen könnte. NICHTS ZU VERLIEREN ist eine Geschichtensammlung, die Ihnen die dunkle Seite des Heldentums zeigen wird, die Schatten im Herzen eines jeden Helden. Kommen Sie. Trauen Sie sich, genauer hinzusehen. Sie haben nichts zu verlieren. „Wenn Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson und Robert Bloch einen flotten Dreier in einem Whirlpool hätten, und dann ein Team von Wissenschaftlern hereinkäme, das Wasser herausfilterte und die übrig gebliebene DNA in einem Reagenzglas mischte, wäre das Resultat dieses genetischen Experiments höchstwahrscheinlich Steve Vernon.“ - Bookgasm

Nicked: A Novel
by M. T. AndersonAN NPR NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the award-winning and bestselling author of Feed comes a raucous, slyly funny, and delightfully queer work of historical fantasy, based on a bizarre but true quest to steal the mystical corpse of a long-dead saint "[An] uproarious saga . . . drawing on contemporary accounts, fantastical folk tales, and [Anderson's] own knack for high jinks."—New York Times Book Review"[A] rollicking comic novel."—NPRThe year is 1087, and a pox is sweeping through the Italian city of Bari. When a lowly monk is visited by Saint Nicholas in his dreams, he interprets the vision as a call to serve the sick. But his superiors, and the power brokers they serve, have different plans for the tender-hearted Brother Nicephorus.Enter Tyun, a charismatic treasure hunter renowned for &“liberating&” holy relics from their tombs. The seven-hundred-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas are rumored to weep a mysterious liquid that can heal the sick, Tyun says. For the humble price of a small fortune, he will steal the bones and deliver them to Bari, curing the plague and restoring glory to the fallen city. And Nicephorus, the &“dreamer,&” will be his guide.What follows is a heist for the ages, as Nicephorus is swept away on strange tides, and alongside even stranger bedfellows, to commit sacrilegious theft. Based on real historical accounts, Nicked is a swashbuckling saga, a medieval novel noir, a meditation on the miraculous, and a monastic meet-cute, filled with wide-eyed wonder at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.

Kurz entschlossen plant er, diese nach der Hochzeitsnacht aufs Festland zu schicken, um sein ausschweifendes Junggesellendasein weiterführen zu können. Aber als er der schönen Oriana zum ersten Mal begegnet, sind seine Pläne schlagartig vergessen. Oriana allerdings würde lieber ihren wissenschaftlichen Forschungen nachgehen, als für ihren Gemahl die unterwürfige Frau zu spielen. Als Nico herausfindet, dass die Geheimnisse seiner Gemahlin nicht nur ihn, sondern auch die ganze Vampirgesellschaft Venedigs gefährden könnten, muss er eine Wahl treffen: sie verschwinden lassen oder sie auf seine Seite verführen.

Nico & Oriana (Les Vampires de Venise)
by Tina FolsomDébut des années 1800, à Venise, en Italie. Là où les pierres anciennes murmurent des secrets et où les ombres dissimulent des désirs immortels. Pour Nico, un vampire énigmatique, acquérir une position stratégique dans la ville signifie un mariage rapide et opportun, et donc un moyen d'atteindre la quête fraternelle : trouver un refuge sûr à Venise. Son plan est simple : une nuit de noces pour la forme, suivie du départ rapide de sa nouvelle épouse, qui lui laissera toute liberté pour se livrer à sa vie libertine. Mais le destin, avec un cruel rebondissement, lui envoie Oriana. Sa beauté est un choc, son esprit indomptable. Dès que Nico pose les yeux sur elle, ses plans soigneusement élaborés volent en éclats comme du verre vénitien. Pourtant, Oriana nourrit des ambitions qui dépassent largement les limites de l'obéissance conjugale. Sa passion réside dans la quête de découvertes scientifiques, un monde d'intelligence et d'innovation qui contraste avec les attentes de son nouveau mari puissant. Au fur et à mesure que leur union peu enthousiaste se développe, Nico découvre une vérité bien plus dangereuse que la nature indépendante d'Oriana. Sa femme obstinée cache des secrets qui pourraient non seulement mettre fin à son existence immortelle, mais aussi détruire toute la société vampire de Venise. Tiraillé entre son devoir et un désir naissant, Nico doit faire un choix mortel : éliminer la menace que sa femme représente à son insu, ou succomber au défi enivrant de la séduction. Heureusement pour Nico, l'art de la persuasion, la danse du désir, est son talent le plus exquis. Il découvrira les secrets d'Oriana d'un baiser volé, une caresse langoureuse à la fois. Il l'attirera à ses côtés, brouillant les frontières entre captive et ravisseur, entre animosité et passion dévorante, ce qui pourrait soit les sauver tous les deux… soit les mener à leur perte. Préparez-vous à être emporté par un tourbillon d'attirance interdite et d'intrigues cachées, où le choc entre l'intellect et le désir immortel allume un feu qui pourrait bien consumer Venise elle-même.
