«NIGHT… FOG… AND MURDER!! It had begun as a voyage to freedom, a dream come true. But now every passenger on the ship was stalked by deadly fear, every shadow had become infused with dread. One man had died, a knife buried deep in his back. Another had met an even more gruesome end. That was bad, but what was worse – the murderer was readying to strike again…» Five passengers and three crewmen survive a sinking Portugese cargo ship via a lifeboat, but when they're picked up...

Видатні українські історики розвінчують міфи радянської пропаганди! Чи правда, що пакт Молотова–Ріббентропа був вимушеним кроком для СРСР?

Сталін узгоджував військові дії з Гітлером? Бандера був агентом спецслужб нацистів? Кримські татари масово дезертирували на початку війни? На ці теми ще 30 років тому боялися...

My name is Mags McAllister, and I really need to stop being surprised when new ghosts show up at my door. Thanks to my special spectral feline Shadow, I have a largely unwanted link to the spirit realm--and word is starting to spread that I'm a good person to haunt for those who wish to button up their unfinished business. This time, my new ghost has a voice of her own, and she is definitely not afraid to use it--to make demands, complain, and even to criticize my choice of clothing. Frankly,...
I'm Mags McAllister, and my cat is a ghost. Well, sort of. It's a long story. All you really need to know is that, thanks to said cat, I can now see the spirits of people long past. They bring me the mysteries surrounding their death and expect me to solve them. But you can't exactly do a quick Google search to learn more about small-town events that happened more than a century ago. Apparently you help one wayward specter and more will start appearing at the foot of your bed in the middle of...
У старому підвальному приміщенні горіла одинока свічка.У цьому моторошному місці могли жити тільки пацюки. Але тишу порушували краплі води, що лунали із ржавих труб та сумне дихання похмурого обличчя. Дванадцятилітній хлопчик став називати себе Діком. Вже півроку його будинком став підвал, друзями – пацюки, між ними був негласний договір: їжу ділили навпіл і не чіпали один одного. Страшне життя для дитини. Але він так звик.

This book is dedicated to Prema Sai Baba, the divine incarnation of the 21st century. Prema Sai Baba is the third incarnation of God on Earth, in our era. The first was Shirdi Sai Baba (1835–1918), the second was Sathya Sai Baba (1926–2011).At the outset, I must acknowledge the difficulty of writing this book at this very moment. It is now 2023. The previous incarnation of God, Sathya Sai Baba, left the physical body in 2011, that is, twelve years ago.Prema Sai Baba was born on June 28, 2012. At...
Ο Οβαδίας είναι ένας από τους μικρότερους προφήτες, σύγχρονος του Ιερεμία και του Ιεζεκιήλ. Το βιβλίο του προφήτη Αβδιά κατέχει την τέταρτη θέση στη σειρά των βιβλίων των κατώτερων προφητών και αποτελείται από ένα κεφάλαιο. Πιστεύεται ότι το βιβλίο γράφτηκε κατά τη διάρκεια της Βαβυλωνιακής αιχμαλωσίας. Χωρίς εξαίρεση, όλες οι προφητείες του Αβδιά στρέφονται εναντίον των Εδωμιτών - ενός λαού που ζούσε νοτιοανατολικά της Ιουδαίας και συμμετείχε στην λεηλασία της Ιερουσαλήμ το 586 π.Χ. μι.
Les vacances du Nouvel An sont encore la période où les travaux principaux de l'année sortante sont déjà terminés et où les préparatifs pour les travaux du nouveau cycle ont commencé. La période des vacances du Nouvel An est perçue comme une période spéciale et sacrée, où il y avait un fossé entre le passé et le futur, un fossé qui s'accompagnait de la lutte entre le bien et le mal dans leur sens universel et cosmique. Dans le même temps, les vacances du Nouvel An peuvent être comparées au son...
The New Year holiday is still the time period when the main work of the outgoing year has already been completed and preparations for the work of the new cycle have begun. The time of the New Year holidays is perceived as a special, sacred time, when there was a gap between the past and the future, a gap that was accompanied by the struggle between good and evil in their universal, cosmic meaning. At the same time, the New Year's holiday can be compared to the clear sound of a tuning fork, which...
We haven't seen our creators and we don't know where they came from. We don't know anything at all. Twenty-four years ago, the first of us woke up, and then the other seven thousand. We are the second generation to live on this earth and not know the details. That world that has been entrusted to us has very few colors, and its main one is gray. We see gray on this planet everywhere outside of our station. We can breathe freely only when we are on the station itself, and even the ability to walk...
In these seven contemporary fantasies from Tanya Huff, we see a dog's eye view of loyalty and a cat's eye view of sea serpents. We learn that some Brownies could use a shave--although cookies will still be sold--and that there are at least two sides to every relationship, no matter how accidental and/or mythical that relationship is. We're also reminded that however worthwhile it may be to die with purpose, it's better to live well. Huff's ability to leaven heartache with humour--and vise...

Life the second time around is short, strange and terrifying to the awakened. One "zombie", victim of a bizarre scientific obsession, breaks away, leaving a trail of muder and miracle as he flees the Project and the horror his "life" hasbecome. Green Eyes is a book that has no respect for genre. Throughout its course, the novel spans the whole of the nebulous speculative fiction genre, taking on the appearance of science fiction, fantasy and horror all in turn. Perhaps the best way to describe...
Lucius Shepard is a grand master of dark fantasy, famed for his baroque yet utterly contemporary visions of existential subversion and hallucinatory collapse. In Dagger Key, his fifth major story collection, Shepard confronts hard-bitten loners and self-deceiving operators with the shadowy emptiness within themselves and the insinuating darkness without, to ends sardonic and terrifying. The stories in this book, including six novellas (one original to this volume) are: “Stars Seen Through...
«Казка про Добромола» — це веселий і водночас сумний сатиричний гротеск на нашу сучасність, що цілком органічний у творчій палітрі відомого державного діяча і письменника Олександра Турчинова. Дотепно шаржована оповідь сприймається, як антиутопія XXI століття, своєрідне «криве дзеркало» сучасного суспільства, що викликає природний сміх в багатьох перипетіях сюжету. Ця книга-пересторога адресується широкому колу читачів.
Pirmā mīlestība — tā ir tik gaiša, godbijīga, iekārojama, un to var sagraut viens neuzmanīgs pārkāpums. Kā pārdzīvot nodevību un noticēt, ka ar to dzīve nebeidzas? Kā palikt dzīvam, kad sirds ir saplēsta? Otrā mīlestība kā likteņa dāvana, kas palīdzēs sadziedēt brūces uz sirds un liks noticēt, ka laime vēl var būt. Taču atkal viens neuzmanīgs pārpratums iznīcina visu, ko mūsu varone tik rūpīgi glabāja savā atdzimušajā sirdī. Un kā pārdzīvot jaunu nodevību? Un kā noticēt, ka pēc kārtējās...
