Dixon G: The Infinite Sadness of Small
Appliances

The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances

'I loved it' Matt Haig

Carcosa

Ein Raumschiff strandet auf einem fernen Planeten, buchstäblich am Ende des Universums. Die kleine Gruppe von Frauen und Männern findet sich in einer lebensfeindlichen Einöde wieder und muss versuchen, auch nur die ersten Tage gemeinsam zu überstehen. Als die Männer stattdessen hochfliegende Pläne schmieden, wie diese Welt zu 'kolonisieren' sei, kommt es zur Katastrophe ... 
Mit ihrem erstmals 1976 erschienenen Roman "Wir, die wir sehr bald ..." verfasste Joanna Russ die definitive Antithese zu den Werken ihrer männlichen Kollegen: Hier tragen keine strahlenden Helden die Zivilisation in die Weiten des Weltraums hinaus. Hier stellt sich eine Frau den existenziellen Fragen des Daseins. Bis zur letzten Konsequenz. // Der abschließende Band unserer Russ-Werkausgabe enthält außerdem zwei längere Erzählungen, eine Folge repräsentativer Buchkritiken und einen Essay aus der dritten Schaffensphase der Autorin.

Shoot or Cut Bait

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.

Murder Mindfully

The second in this hilarious, violent, wellness-inspired crime series from international bestseller Karsten Dusse

the latest darkly comic internationally bestselling thriller, now a major Netflix series

My Inner Child Wants to Murder Mindfully

A second chance at love sets sail when a couple on the verge of divorce pretends they’re still together for one last family trip, from the author of Wedding Dashers. Roslyn and Liam met nine years ago and have been the perfect couple ever since. Through every up and down, every milestone—from Liam’s residency to the publication of Roslyn’s debut romance—they’ve been each other’s rock. Until now. Pulled apart by the untimely death of Roslyn’s mom and the undertow of grief, they’re now navigating the final wave in their marriage: divorce. Heartbroken and unsure how to tell her family she’s called it quits with everyone’s favorite son-in-law, Roslyn keeps the impending split to herself. But when Roslyn’s grandparents ask if Liam can officiate their vow renewal ceremony aboard a Hawaiian cruise during their annual vacation, Roslyn needs to tell the truth or figure out a way to keep her secret. A week trapped at sea with her ex isn’t ideal, but neither Roslyn nor Liam want to rock the boat, so they concoct a plan—they’ll fake it. After five years of marriage, they can figure out how to pretend for jungle hikes and mai tais, right? But when reality and make believe starts to blur, and old feelings begin to resurface, Roslyn and Liam have to decide whether it’s sink or swim for their marriage.

Sunk in Love

In this hugely original blend of thriller, sci-fi and horror, a trio of Blockbuster employees discover they may be able to change the endings of popular films and, thus, the world around them. The last Blockbuster video store in the United States is hanging on by a thread. And after a crazy night attempting to track down a lost VCR rental to collect the record-setting and internet-famous late fee, three employees, idealistic Eva, cinephile Jerry, and their tyrannical manager Randy, discover that this machine may actually have the power to change the endings of popular films, which, depending on the historical basis of the film, might also be changing the real world around them. Or could this just be an elaborate, increasingly deadly prank? When they begin receiving videotapes and voicemails seemingly depicting their deaths, Eva, Jerry, and Randy scramble to keep the VCR from falling into the wrong hands. And as one action-packed evening begins to seemingly repeat itself (or does it?), scores are settled and unwanted confessions begin to fly, until a Final Girl finally unravels a grand psychological experiment orchestrated at the highest levels of a crumbling social media empire.

In this follow up to their original 100 Cult Films volume, Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik provide a guide to one hundred more incredible films, from the 1911 Italian silent Dante's Inferno to Ti West's horror trilogy X, Pearl (2022) and MaXXXine (2024).

By presenting 100 films that confirm and interrogate the notion of what makes a film a 'cult film', 100 Cult Films: The Sequel reignites the conversation about cult cinema while affirming its foundations in today's volatile and vibrant cultural climate.

Roman Fever

Told over nine charged days, Sheer is the gripping tale of a controversial beauty mogul’s insatiable ambition and the slippery ground between empowerment and abuse of power. It’s 2015 and Maxine Thomas, the founder and creative director of the cult makeup company Reveal, has just been suspended by her own Board for a scandalous transgression. Housebound in her New York City apartment, where she awaits the verdict on her future, Max recounts her version of the events that have brought her to this moment. From her start as a precocious suburban child in the eighties to her decades as a workaholic visionary, Max proselytizes a sheer, dewy look—cosmetics through a female gaze—all while battling sexist investors, the whiplash of cultural change, and the mounting pressure to keep her sexuality a secret. But when Max’s story catches up to her present, she must contend with the cost of true transparency. Who has she become in her relentless pursuit of success? And what will happen if she loses it all?

A Novel

Sheer

Horst Thode präsentiert eine fiktionale, dystopische ­Version der Wiedervereinigung unter umgekehrten ­Vorzeichen - was wäre gewesen, wenn?
 

 Für Millionen Bundesbürger stellten sich in den Tagen der Wiedervereinigung Fragen wie: 'Was wird aus mir? Was wird aus uns? Wie werden die neuen Machthaber rea­gie­ren?' Der Protagonist gerät in diesen Tagen trotz größter Vorsicht in Haft und beschreibt in einem Erzählstrang seine Erfahrungen rund um die verstörenden und willkürlichen Erlebnisse mit der Justiz der neuen Deutschen Demo­kra­tischen Republik. In einem zweiten Erzählstrang erfahren wir in einer Rückblende über seine Kindheit und Jugend. Durch einen erzählerischen Kunstgriff laufen diese beiden Erzählstränge zum Ende des Romans zu einem virtuosen Finale zusammen.
