I lost my humanity in a government experiment, and now find myself hunted because of it. Demons, vampires and even angels-everyone wants a piece of me. I say bring it on and prepare to die, because I intend to fight for my right to live.

A chance meeting with a giant shifter and his best friend-an actual genie with a bottle-has evened the odds just as a prophecy involving me increases the danger. But, this Hybrid Misfit isn’t about to give up, and with my lovers supporting me, I will change the world-and discover that two naked men in bed is better than one.

How can she make him stop thinking of her as a freakn’ sister? Francine’s loved Mitchell, a wolf like herself, since she first set eyes on him back when they were just kids. However, Mitchell’s never seen her as more than another annoying sister. Determined to make him realize she’s all grown up, she enlists the aide of Alejandro, a gorgeous cat shifter. She never counted on wanting them both. Alejandro knows Francine is special from the first moment he meets the fiery plump wolf, which is why he suggests she use him to make Mitchell jealous. A great plan, especially if it means he gets to kiss those luscious lips. One taste, though, and he’s addicted, but how does he make her see past the man she loves to realize she’s also meant to be his mate? For a long time now, Mitchell’s been avoiding Francine, his bratty sister’s friend. However, the little girl he remembers is all grown up, and when he sees her in the arms of another, a need to claim her overrides all his common sense. But, he’s waited too long and fate has decided that he’s going to have to share. Can he bend enough to accept Francine with her other man, or will his freakn’ jealousy send him running? <

When it comes to pleasure, she's making all the decisions

Isabelle and her boss Grant had a one night stand that rocked, but since then he's been avoiding her.

Miffed at his behavior, she's determined to bring him to his knees. Drawing upon her dominant and kinky side, she first makes him regret his actions, and then makes him come crawling back for more.

But Isabelle is after more than just revenge and sexual satisfaction. The question is, can her boss let go of his inhibitions and let Isabelle take charge?

Bring on the bug spray, because to prevail, Josie’s going to have to face her greatest fear.

Josie’s not a brave person, and she’s especially scared of spiders. Imagine her surprise when she finds herself attracted to not one, but two, larger than life men.

Clint and Brandon both want the timid mouse who’s come to work for them-and their beasts are chafing to mark her-but when she can’t decide between them, there’s only one thing to do-share her.

Before they can convince Josie that a threesome would benefit them all, they need to take care of the menace threatening their chosen mate. And when Josie confronts the bogeyman of her nightmares, she discovers an emotion stronger than fear-love.

Either you’re with me, or you’ll feed me.

Humans are for eating and I am not one to play with my food, so I’m baffled as to why one geeky mortal doctor makes me wish our kind could be together without my brand of love being toxic. As if suffering from human emotions isn’t problem enough, our world is about to engage in a war where our chances of survival are slim at best. And no one wants to listen.

But, I didn’t become the general of the vampire Queen’s army by being diplomatic. Everyone will fight in the upcoming battle, or they’ll feed my troops and I. Either way, all things living will do their part.

I am after all the Blood Countess, toxic lover to humans, vicious bitch to my enemies, and my word is law.

El Romancero Gitano es una de las creaciones líricas más significativas del siglo XX. Punto culminante de la primera etapa estética de Lorca, el propio poeta lo define como `el poema de Andalucía, y lo llamo gitano porque el gitano es lo más elevado, lo más profundo, más aristocrático de mi país, lo más representativo de su modo y el que guarda el ascua, la sangre y el alfabeto de la verdad andaluza y universal`. Es, sin embargo, `un libro donde apenas sí está expresada la Andalucía que se ve, pero donde está temblando la que no se ve: un libro antipintoresco, antifolclórico, antiflamenco…, donde las figuras sirven a fondos milenarios y donde no hay más que un personaje grande y oscuro como un cielo de estío… la Pena `.<

She's a best-selling erotic romance writer. Her fans adore her. She's making excellent money. All by writing about a man she dreamed up many years ago. Her hero is handsome, virile, sexy, strong, sensitive and a complete gentleman. He's a hot-headed, sex-on-the-hoof pro wrestler. He has a reputation for being the hottest, nastiest man on the mats. The fact that his face and body are plastered all over a bunch of mushy romance novels written by a woman with a death wish doesn't sit well on those massive shoulders. His agent's demanding monetary retribution from the woman who's dared to use his image on her covers but he has another form of retribution in mind…and it has nothing to do with money. She was his the moment he touched her. He came out of her dreams to claim her, and she wants every hot, throbbing inch of that delicious man. He wants her, naked, at his mercy. One hot, orgasmic night wasn't nearly enough. She ran…but he'll find her.<

Premio Editorial Planeta

Esta novela obtuvo el Premio Editorial Planeta 1984, concedido por el siguiente, jurado: Ricardo Fernández de la Reguera, José Manuel Lara, Antonio Prieto, Carlos Pujol y José María Valverde.

¿En que se convertirá el nuevo Raval? ¿Será un barrio saneado, con pisos de alto standing donde los pisos son `algo` caros? ¿Un barrio donde habitarán diseñadores, actores y cineastas, todos muy Chics? O ¿pese a todas las reformas urbanísticas seguirá siendo un barrio para los recién llegados? Por el bien de Barcelona, que siempre he considerado una ciudad abierta espero que así sea. Espero que el barrio Chino siga siendo un barrio para la gente sin demasiado poder adquisitivo, pueda vivir. Un barrio donde una habitación, como la que Méndez tiene alquilada por dos reales, pueda existir. Donde existan personas no alienadas en una sociedad consumista.

`Crónica sentimental en Rojo` precisamente comienza con dos personajes de este barrio. Uno, por supuesto, es el Inspector Méndez: un policía de avanzada edad, de los de la escuela franquista, que debería jubilarse pero que solo le queda su trabajo. Expeditivo y brutal en sus quehaceres policiales pero honrado y justo, por lo menos a su manera. No le gusta salir de su barrio chino pero comienza la novela en la puerta de la modelo esperando la salida de un boxeador retirado, el Richard. Ricardo Arce es otro inadaptado de la misma zona acostumbrado a las peleas de bar y a los bajos fondos pero de buen corazón. Un buenazo sin remedio y sin esperanzas de cambiar. La novela esta escrita a principio de los años ochenta del pasado siglo XX y el paro en aquella época era un problema muy real. La crisis del 73 había llegado a Barcelona con cierto retraso las listas del paro empezaron a llenarse desde principio de los ochenta. Hubieron de pasar varios años hasta casi los noventa para que llegara `el pelotazo`. Pero al principio de los ochenta para un antiguo inquilino de `la modelo` encontrar empleo era muy complicado y era carne de paro y de presidio. Es decir, que tardaban muy poco en cometer otro delito para volver a la calle Entença.

`Crónica Sentimental en Rojo` nos muestra la realidad cuando una gran fortuna se debe repartir entre varios herederos de una manera no demasiado clara.

Un nuevo caso del detective Méndez, personaje que ha convertido a González Ledesma en uno de los autores españoles de serie negra más reconocidos en Europa.

Sinopsis: Méndez lamentó la crueldad de su destino. Había venido a Madrid para no trabajar nada, y se encontraba con que tenía que averiguar qué había detrás del repugnante crimen cometido con el culo ignorado de una mujer ignorada en un lugar ignorado.

El descubrimiento del cadáver de una niña, hija adoptiva de una rica familia, llevará al inspector Méndez a husmear por las viejas calles de Barcelona, una ciudad en continua reconstrucción, y por las ruinas eternas de Egipto.<

El inspector Ricardo Méndez, hijo de los barrios bajos de Barcelona, cree más en la verdad de las calles que en la de los tribunales. Arrastrando la nostalgia de su antiguo mudo, helo aquí caminando por las miserias de su ciudad, con su mirada capaz de sondear los resortes de los delitos, la cara oculta de los poderosos y la historia enterrada en la casa de una madame. Veintidós destellos de humor y virtuosismo, veintidós joyas esculpidas por el gran maestro de la novela políciaca española.

¿Acaso es necesario presentar al inspector Méndez

Bobby Jackson è apparentemente un ragazzo normale, e altrettanto normali sembrano i coniugi Martin, nuovi arrivati, in una piccola città americana come ce ne sono a migliaia: Lakeview. Ma non lontano da Lakeview c’è la caverna detta di Gover, e ciò che succede là dentro potrà coinvolgere nello stesso tremendo pericolo non solo un maestro di scuola, una bibliotecaria, un barista e altri tipici personaggi della provincia americana, ma… tutta la Terra.<

This is the collection of Frank Belknap Long stories, with the complete short novel «

One of the early works of pulp terror, «The Horror from the Hills» is the legendary first tale of the Cthulhu Mythos. It is drawn from the disturbing nightmares of Belknap Long's friend and colleague, H. P. Lovecraft, the master writer of supernatural fiction of the modern age. A blood-sucking demon from the fourth dimension is mistakenly exhibited in a Manhattan museum and feasts on the blood of its admirers. This influential tale of extraterrestrial terror, a bestseller in the 1930s and 1940s, has been out of print for more than three decades. In a relatively short narrative, Long takes us from the remotest origins of our common culture, to the center of civilized mid-twentieth-century, to the cutting edges of contemporary technology to bring us face to face with horrible bloodsucking malevolence. We are fortunate that Chaugnar Faugn is a creation of fiction, drawn from one dark mind into another's pen.

A regény hőse Hal Bregg, a kozmoszban tett hosszú útjáról tér vissza a földre, ahol időközben teljesen megváltozott viszonyokat talál. Nemcsak a technika alakul át — más az életmód, és más az emberek természete. S más a férfiak és nők egymáshoz való viszonya is. Hal összeütközésbe kerül ezzel a megváltozott, néha meghökkentően idegen világgal és lakosaival, akik nem honfitársai az időben, s mégis velük kell leélnie hátralévő életét. Végül a szerelem segíti hozzá, hogy megtalálja a helyét, s lázongás és keserűség nélkül gondolhasson azokra, akik elrepülnek a csillagok aranygyapjúáért…<

Stanislaw Lem’s cult classic novel is finally getting a direct-to-English translation, reports the restoring much of the author’s original words.

The novel, originally published in Polish in 1961, tells of humans’ struggling attempts to communicate with an alien intelligence. It’s inspired films by Andrei Tarkovsky and Steven Soderberg. But for all its canonical status, the only English version was published in 1970, translated from a French translation that Lem himself didn’t like. This game of linguistic telephone apparently muddled all kinds of things. Says the new translator, Indiana University professor Bill Johnson:

“Much is lost when a book is re-translated from an intermediary translation into English, but I’m shocked at the number of places where text was omitted, added, or changed in the 1970 version… Lem’s characteristic semi-philosophical, semi-technical language is also capable of flights of poetic fancy and brilliant linguistic creativity, for example in the names of the structures that arise on the surface of Solaris.

Lots of the changes in the new edition will restore original names: Kris Kelvin’s wife becomes Harey instead of Rheya; Alpha in Aquarius is Alpha Aquarii once more…”
