Twenty-four creepy, crawly, and thrilling tales illuminate the diversity?and surprising similarities?of monster stories from Japan to Nigeria and Ireland to Guyana. Each one is paired with a lush illustration from contemporary Chinese-born and NYC-based artist Sija Hong.

From dragons to ghouls, from Scotland to South Africa, this volume collects traditional monster tales from around the world in a covetable, illustrated gift edition.

The Dark Pantheon

THE HEART STOPPING SEQUEL TO THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, DAUGHTER OF CHAOS . . . LIFE THREATENING ODDS. DANGEROUS GODS. AND A PROPHECY ONLY SHE CAN FULFIL . . . -- Danae has fought monsters, crossed oceans and stared into the face of death. It is the price of the prophecy. The prophecy that names her as the mortal that will destroy Olympus. But gods do not fall without a fight. As they hunt her, Danae descends into the shadows of the Underworld to search for help - and the sister she lost to its depths. Accompanied by her faithful winged horse and a handful of companions, whose true allegiance remains uncertain, Danae uncovers secrets long hidden. Secrets about Zeus' powerful hold on the mortal world and the fate she is bound to. But the deeper she journeys, the closer the gods watch. Hera seethes. Poseidon plots. And Zeus will stop at nothing to destroy this mortal girl who dares challenge him. Because the gods will never give up their power. Just as Danae will never give up her destiny . . . -- Praise for Daughter of Fate:- "This is a fantastic (and fantastical) second instalment in Danae's story. Webb's treatment of these familiar myths is creative and enthralling, bringing Ancient Greece to life even in the depths of the Underworld." -Jess Popplewell, author of The Dark Within Us 'Few novels have captivated me the way Daughter of Fate did.

This is an impressive debut' Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong 'Daughter of Chaos is a wild ride through prophecy, rebellion and adventure - Danae is a heroine I'd follow anywhere' Jess Popplewell, author of The Dark Within Us 'A spellbinding masterpiece that breathes new life into Greek mythology, intertwining it with epic fantasy in a familiar and refreshingly original way' Crystal King, author of In the Garden of Monsters 'A must-read for anyone seeking a fresh and intriguing take on the Greek gods and the humans who dare to defy them.

When the Playhouse announces the spectacle of a lifetime - a chance for one mortal to steal a Player's immortality - Riven sees her last chance to live.

Prinz Freya

Freya ist den Attentätern entkommen, doch nun ist König Eirik verschwunden. Offenbar versucht jemand, zwischen Tyr und dem mächtigen Sigurd Zwietracht zu säen. Werden Freya und ihre Freunde es schaffen, einen Krieg abzuwenden?

Prinz Freya 13

The Horrors gain strength when things in our world are broken. A bone. A promise. A heart. Ever since she first encountered 'The Horrors', Alice has hidden herself safely behind the walls of her family's Whitby guest house. Only her beloved sister, Lucille, knows why: that Alice can see things - gruesome, terrible things - in the darkest corners of our world. Shadow-monsters which will do anything to satisfy their violent cravings - and seemingly nothing can stop them. Of course, no one would believe them if they told them - and so the girls stay silent. That is, until Lucille goes missing, and the boy she was in love with turns up dead. All of which coincides with the arrival of Austin - a dashing young actor from London, who claims a demon has stolen his voice, and only Alice can help him. Faced with a world and powers she never even knew existed, Alice must race against time to save her sister, herself, and perhaps the only other person who's ever cared about her. As well as send a demon or two back to where they came from . . .

Shakespeare Retold

Shakespeare's Macbeth is transformed into a page-turning Jo Nesbo crime thriller, the story of the ex-addict cop Inspector Macbeth. He's the best cop they've got. When a drug bust turns into a bloodbath it's up to Inspector Macbeth and his team to clean up the mess. He's also an ex-drug addict with a troubled past. He's rewarded for his success. Power. Money. Respect. They're all within reach. But a man like him won't get to the top. Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He's convinced he won't get what is rightfully his. Unless he kills for it. 'Shakespeare's darkest tale - reimagined by the king of Nordic noir' Mail on Sunday 'A deliciously oppressive page-turner' Guardian SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.

Macbeth

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.
