(W) David Hajdu In the years between World War II and the emergence of television as a mass medium, American popular culture as we know it was first created - in the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. No sooner had this new culture emerged than it was beaten down by church groups, community bluestockings, and a McCarthyish Congress - only to resurface with a crooked smile on its face as MAD magazine. The story of the rise and fall of those comic books has never been fully told - until The Ten-Cent Plague. David Hajdu's remarkable book vividly opens up the lost world of comic books, its creativity, irreverence, and suspicion of authority. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

There have been iconic moments in the action movie genre over the years, but nothing has come close to matching the kinetic, balletic gun-fu of the John Wick films. Bestselling authors Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross take you behind the scenes of a franchise that includes three films with two more sequels and a television series on the way, while exploring the action classics that led to John Wick as well as the films it inspired, like Atomic Blonde. They bring you right into the middle of the action of the John Wick films, detailing how the seemingly impossible was achieved through exclusive interviews with the cast, writers, directors, producers, stuntmen, fight choreographers, cinematographers, studio executives, editors, critics, and more.

(W/A) Jon J. Muth, with John Kuramoto This adaptation of a Chinese folktale begins with a man's dissatisfaction with his life. Weary of being a stonecutter, he becomes many things in his quest for authority, each time finding that greater power lies elsewhere. Rooted in Taoist principles, Stonecutter is an exquisite tale about self-acceptance. Originally published in a small, limited edition fifteen years ago, Jon J. Muth republishes the story because 'Certain stories leave you with more than when they found you. They shed light on something, or unknot something for you, or offer some insight. At least they do for me. Stonecutter is one such story.' This inspiring tale pushes the boundaries and possibilities of graphic literature, and is now available for a new audience.

From New York Times-bestselling authors and illustrators Mike Mignola and Tom Sniegoski, come two thrilling anti-heroes: Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal battling against crime. An uneasiness festers upon the city streets, threatening the peace and safety of law abiding citizens. A war is escalating, and it seems as though the good and righteous are being crushed beneath the unholy weight of evil's onslaught. A lone figure, clad in a slouch hat and clothes seemingly stitched from the blackest shadows, masked in the guise of a skull-faced death - a Grim Death - emerges with guns blazing. With him, a wronged ex-con clad in the striped costume of his misfortune - Bill the Electrocuted Criminal. In this beautifully illustrated 1930s Pulp-style novel, two dark new characters take to the street to fight the growing infection of organized crime. Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal are not your average heroes, but they want justice. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Jimmy cannot die. When the body he is occupying is killed, Jimmy's consciousness simply takes over the body of the living person in closest proximity to him. Simple, right? Not once Jimmy gets started. Because Jimmy is an insurance actuary. His mind is sharp and highly analytical, and he cares about nothing but his own survival and the survival of his adorable daughter. To avoid the shadowy government agency on his tail, Jimmy will do anything to protect his family, even if it means tearing the world down around them in the most mind-bogglingly complex and fiendishly clever way possible.

by Michael Chabon The 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, is the story of two ambitious young men; Sammy Clay, a New York City writer, and his cousin, Josef Kavalier, a refugee draftsman from Prague, brought to the States by the events of the Second World War. Arriving on his cousin's doorstep in 1939, the two embark on a friendship - and subsequent working relationship - sparked by the emerging concept of the comic book. Using narrative, flashbacks, and shifting perspectives, Chabon whisks us away on a journey spanning some 15 years, exploring themes of sexuality, loyalty, family, politics, and censorship, all while deftly sketching a picture of a rapidly-changing American society.

Hail to the Chin is the new raucous and sardonic memoir from Bruce Campbell, a follow-up to the bestselling If Chins Could Kill. It's been 15 years since his first memoir but Bruce is still living the dream as a 'B' movie king in an 'A' movie world. Bruce covers the professional and the personal with stories about his quickly canceled series Jack of All Trades, working on Sci-Fi Channel movies in Bulgaria and playing Santa Claus and Ronald Reagan as well as his move from Los Angeles to Oregon where he distills lavender and joins the local Elks club. And now in this updated paperback, Bruce shares brand new stories from his life since the hardcover's publication, including a requiem of Ash and details from his European book tour. With an introduction by New York Times bestselling author and famous minor television personality John Hodgman. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

by Thomas Ligotti Often cited as the most curious and remarkable figure in horror since H.P. Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti's work is noted by critics for its display of an exceptionally grotesque imagination and accomplished prose style. The stories collected in Teatro Grottesco feature tormented individuals who play out their doom in various odd little towns, as well as in dark sectors frequented by sinister and often blackly comical eccentrics.
