A father's quick trip to the grocery store turns into a much longer outing when he is abducted by aliens! There's no milk for cereal. No matter, Dad will run down to the store to pick some up. The children wait. And wait. And wait. Dad better have a pretty good excuse for taking so long. In a delightful reversal of how things usually go, the father is the one making up wild, impossible stories, and the child is the rational listener who isn't buying a word of it.

The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, soon to be an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon, both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle, are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist... (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(W) Christopher Moore, Ian Corson (A) Jennyson Rosero From the outrageously funny New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore comes a graphic novel about an alien invasion of Earth. First, activate an ancient alien beacon that summons a behemoth spaceship from the far reaches of the galaxy. Then, release a stream of pods that unfold into minivan-size griffin-like dragons into Earth's atmosphere. Next, destroy all of Earth's defense and emergency infrastructure, then systematically kill almost every person on the planet, leaving the buildings intact and ready for a colonizing invasion. From there we follow a trio of survivors as they battle their way against marauding Griff from NYC to Orlando, Florida, where the alien mothership is hovering. There, the group will attempt to board and bring down the alien spacecraft and save the world. Naturally, adventure and comedy ensue! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

A stunning and timely creative call-to-arms combining four extraordinary written pieces by Neil Gaiman illustrated with the striking four-color artwork of Chris Riddell. Drawn from Gaiman's trove of published speeches, poems, and creative manifestos, Art Matters is an embodiment of this remarkable multi-media artist's vision-an exploration of how reading, imagining, and creating can transform the world and our lives. Art Matters bring together four of Gaiman's most beloved writings on creativity and artistry: 'Credo,' his remarkably concise and relevant manifesto on free expression; 'Make Good Art,' his famous 2012 commencement address; 'Making a Chair,' a poem about the joys of creating something, even when words won't come; and 'On Libraries,' an impassioned argument for libraries. Featuring original illustrations by Gaiman's longtime illustrator, Chris Riddell, Art Matters is a stirring testament to the freedom of ideas that inspires us to make art in the face of adversity, and dares us to choose to be bold.
