The Cabinet of Imaginary Laws
by Peter Goodrich and Thanos ZartaloudisReturning to the map of the island of utopia, this book provides a contemporary, inventive, addition to the long history of legal fictions and juristic phantasms. Progressive legal and political thinking has for long lacked a positive, let alone a bold imaginary project, an account of what improved institutions and an ameliorated environment would look like. And where better to start than with the non-laws or imaginary legislations of a realm yet to come. The Cabinet of Imaginary Laws is a collection of fictive contributions to the theme of conceiving imaginary laws in the vivid vein of jurisliterary invention. Disparate in style and diverse in genres of writing and performative expression, the celebrated and unknown, venerable and youthful authors write new laws. Thirty-five dissolute scholars, impecunious authors and dyspeptic artists from a variety of fields including law, film, science, history, philosophy, political science, aesthetics, architecture and the classics become, for a brief and inspiring instance, legislators of impossible norms. The collection provides an extra-ordinary range of inspired imaginings of other laws. This momentary community of radial thought conceives of a wild variety of novel critical perspectives. The contributions aim to inspire reflection on the role of imagination in the study and writing of law. Verse, collage, artworks, short stories, harangues, lists, and other pleas, reports and pronouncements revivify the sense of law as the vehicle of poetic justice and as an art that instructs and constructs life. Aimed at an intellectual audience disgruntled with the negativity of critique and the narrowness of the disciplines, this book will appeal especially to theorists, lawyers, scholars and a general public concerned with the future of decaying laws and an increasingly derelict legal system.

Caça aos Anormais
by Vianka Van Bokkem Débora L. SousaUm grupo de cientistas da Área 51 me deu o nome Elixia. Sou uma caçadora com certas habilidades inatas. Minha criação começou em um de seus laboratórios fundados pela 'Sociedade de Caçadores de Anormais', um grupo de milionários excêntricos. Meu trabalho é matar ou capturar inimigos que não são humanos. Eles me fizeram parecer uma menina de 19 anos. Minha pele e meu cabelo curto têm uma combinação das cores azul e verde. Minhas veias são brancas, e meus olhos possuem o amarelo mais claro que se pode imaginar. Na verdade, preciso sempre usar óculos escuros porque se os humanos os virem, pensam que eu sou um vampiro ou um lobisomem. Eu não sou uma metamorfa, então só posso alterar a cor do meu cabelo para prata platinado, e a minha pele fica branca. Meus olhos permanecem da mesma cor. Minhas capacidades permitem que eu desempenhe a função para qual fui criada: caçar alienígenas, vampiros, anjos maliciosos, lobisomens, etc.

Caçada em Bruges
by E. J. StevensA única coisa pior do que ser Caçadora em Harborsmouth, uma cidade infestada de sobrenaturais, era caçar vampiros em Bruges. Ter sido mandada para Bélgica foi um saco. A cidade medieval de Bruges era pitoresca, mas a Irmandade dos Caçadores local estava com pouco pessoal. Os canais de Bruges estavam abarrotados de cadáveres, e o que não faltavam eram predradores sobrenaturais e possíveis suspeitos. Pensando bem, talvez Bruges não fosse tão ruim assim. Com o desejo de mostrar do que é capaz, proteger os inocentes e subir na hierarquia da Irmandade dos Caçadores, Jenna Lehane vai para as ruas de paralelepípedos de Bruges pronta para o que der e vir. Alguém, ou algo, está matando turistas e despejando os seus corpos nos belos canais da cidade. Com a ajuda de um estranho misterioso, Jenna começa a coletar pistas espalhadas pela cidade como manchas de sangue. Determinada a dar um fim às mortes, Jenna mergulha na violenta história local que apenas levanta mais dúvidas—mas alguns segredos são melhores se deixados de lado. Jenna deve colocar suas habilidades de combate ao teste enquanto tenta desvendar a verdade sobre um antigo inimigo. Caçada em Bruges é o primeiro livro da série de fantasia urbana da Irmandade dos Caçadores, que se passa no mundo de Ivy Granger. O mundo de Ivy Granger, incluindo a série premiada de Ivy Granger – Detetive Paranormal e a série da Irmandade dos Caçadores estão cheias de vampiros sanguessugas, bruxas temperamentais, fadas psicóticas e heroínas sarcásticas e cheias de atitude.
