The flames that destroyed Anthony Cross's beloved bar are nothing compared to the heat he feels every time he lays eyes on Claudia. But he can't have her--it's against paranormal law for a vampire to date a human. Besides, he has some dangerous enemies, and one in particular already has her sights on Claudia. He owes her the truth--both about his feelings and his vampire nature--which means their lives are about to get hotter than ever...

Knife Fight: And Other Struggles
by David NickleStories of the mysterious and macabre from &“Canada&’s answer to Stephen King&” (Helen Marshall, author of Gifts for the One Who Comes After). In this follow-up to his award-winning debut collection, Monstrous Affections, David Nickle stretches the boundaries of horror into a sphere of &“uncertainty, of helplessness, of traditions and change. . . . The stories are sui generis in presentation, veering from the discombobulating nightmare that is &‘Basements&’ to the squid-laden eco-satire &‘Wylde&’s Kingdom&’ to the sci-fi love of &‘Love Means Forever.&’ When it comes to this book, only two things are certain; the stories never travel where you expect, and David Nickle is a monumental talent&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). &“Don&’t make the mistake of overlooking the talent based on preconceptions of what horror might be—read one of these stories and see if you aren&’t hooked. . . . Believe the hype. David Nickle is very good.&” —The Globe and Mail &“Anyone even vaguely interested in horror or weird fiction owes it to themselves to give David Nickle a look, and Knife Fight and Other Struggles is a great place to start.&” —The Winnipeg Free Press &“Knife Fight and Other Struggles is a remarkable collection that drops some hi-fidelity weirdness on the scene. Nickle&’s prose has gorgeous lines of symmetry and a steel spine.&” —Laird Barron, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author &“Dynamic imagination, masterful writing of both the everyday and the nightmare, characters that breathe, and a dark sense of humor make [Knife Fight and Other Struggles] a keeper.&” —Jeffrey Ford, World Fantasy Award–winning author

L. Sprague de Camp SF Gateway Omnibus: Lest Darkness Fall, Rogue Queen, The Tritonian Ring
by L. Sprague deCampFrom the vaults of the SF Gateway, the most comprehensive digital library of classic SFF titles ever assembled, comes an ideal introduction to the varied work of author, editor and critic, L. Sprague de Camp.Although arguably best known for his continuation of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, de Camp was an important figure in the formative period of modern SF, alongside the likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein. In a career spanning seven decades, he won the HUGO, WORLD FANTASY LIFE ACHIEVEMENT and SFWA GRAND MASTER AWARDs. This omnibus collects three previously out-of-print classics: LEST DARKNESS FALL, ROGUE QUEEN and THE TRITONIAN RING. Lest Darkness Fall:The Roman Empire had spread order, knowledge and civilisation throughout the ancient world. When Rome fell, the light of reason flickered out across the Empire. The Dark Ages had begun; they would last a thousand years. Could a man from the 20th century prevent the fall of Rome? Rogue Queen:Decades before a certain five-year voyage, L. Sprague de Camp sent a spirited crew to a strange and distant world, where their meeting with its inhabitants created chaos in local politics, upset the balance of power and generally created the most entertaining havoc. The Tritonian Ring:The gods of Poseidonis - or Atlantis - were powerful and real. Now they were determined to destroy the kingdom ruled by the father of Prince Vakar, the one man whose mind they could not read. The only way to save the kingdom was to discover that thing which the gods feared most.
La música del silenci
by Patrick RothfussLa Universitat, el baluard del coneixement, atrau les ments més brillants, que hi van per aprendre els misteris de ciències com l'artifici i l'alquímia. Però sota els seus edificis i les seves aules concorregudes hi ha un món en penombra, l'existència del qual només uns pocs coneixen.En aquest laberint de túnels antics, de sales i estances abandonades, d'escales serpentejants i de passadissos mig derruïts viu l'Auri. Temps enrere va ser una alumna de la Universitat. Ara té cura del Món Amagat, per a ella un lloc acollidor, meravellós, on es podria passar una eternitat mirant. Ha après que hi ha misteris que no s'han de remoure; és millor deixar-los en pau i estalvis. Ja no es deixa enganyar per la lògica en la qual tant confien al món de dalt: l'Auri sap reconèixer els perills subtils i els noms oblidats que s'amaguen sota la superfície de les coses.La música del silenci és una història lírica i evocadora que ofereix als lectors d'El nom del vent i El temor d'un home savi l'oportunitat de veure aquest món a través de l'Auri, un dels seus personatges favorits, i d'aprendre allò que fins ara només ella sabia....
