Sorbello K: Tommy Somebody

Tommy Somebody

The Golden Egg (part 2)

"A much-needed dose of comfort and positivity." —Shanna Tan, translator of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop Tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife and will do anything to see his human again . . . if only he can not disrupt the balance of the universe. After a long life with a loving human family, tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife, but he is not as far from his owner, Michiru, as it seems. Slight openings bridge the divide between the lands of the living and the dead, and they can be traversed. Eager to see Michiru again, Fuuta interviews for a position at Café Pont, a café that exists in the liminal space between the two worlds, known for its unique message delivery service: Customers leave requests with the name of the person they wish to meet, and a messenger cat is assigned to arrange the "meeting." If Fuuta doesn’t maintain plausible deniability, he could cause panic amongst the living, or worse: He could upset the balance of the universe itself. It is a weighty task for an old tabby cat, but Fuuta is up for the challenge. After all, the job offers a special reward: the right to see Michiru. And he’ll do anything to reunite with his family.

The truth is, it's surprisingly difficult to dispatch someone with a vegetable knife.In case you're wondering, the dead man is not my husband. I do resent our pitiful sex life and his woeful lack of ambition, but I wouldn't murder him for it.

A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage

Roman | Ein fesselnder Thriller über Lügen, Geheimnisse und einen Mord in einer Kleinstadt

Liars all around me

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.

How We Talk (and Don't Talk) About Adoption in America

Ordinary Days and Tender Places

Was in Freiburg wie das Werk eines Serienmörders beginnt, entpuppt sich bald als etwas weitaus Schrecklicheres, jenseits von Gut und Böse. 
Der Polizist Finn Marini stößt nicht nur an die Grenzen seiner Vernunft, sondern auch auf die Schatten seiner Familiengeschichte.
Je tiefer Finn gräbt, desto mehr kommt eine Wahrheit ans Licht, die ihn an den Abgrund des Wahnsinns führt. Um den Kreislauf zu durchbrechen, muss er sich seiner Vergangenheit stellen. Doch was, wenn der Preis dafür zu hoch ist?

Ein Mystery-Thriller, der bis zur letzten Seite hält, was er verspricht.

A Hole in The Sky

'FULL OF SUPERB, AND SUSTAINED, TENSION AND HEAVY DOSES OF FOLKLORE AND EERIE HISTORY' New York Times *A Library Reads Pick!* *Most Anticipated by Goodreads, E! News, BookRiot, and more!* Unbearably tense and utterly propulsive, Daisy Pearce's critically acclaimed horror debut is perfect for anyone who loves Midsommar and The Haunting of Hill House. Reader reviews: 'I was completely hooked! . . . I'll definitely be recommending it far and wide' ¿¿¿¿¿ 'This entire book was a craving satisfied. Suspense, mystery, heavy folk horror themes and a hefty dose of creepiness' ¿¿¿¿¿ 'I absolutely loved this book! . . . From the things Alice says, to the creepy atmospheric town full of their superstitious beliefs, unhinged believers and folklore, the entire book was just the perfect haunted story' ¿¿¿¿¿ SHE'S LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH, BUT SOMETHING ELSE IS STARING BACK. Newly trained child psychologist Mina has little experience. In a field full of experts, she's been unable to find work, instead aimlessly spending her days stuck in the stifling heat wave sweeping across Britain. So it feels like a welcome reprieve when journalist Sam Hunter approaches her with a proposition. Alice Webber is a thirteen-year-old girl who claims she's being haunted by a witch. Living with her family in the remote Cornish village of Banathel, Alice's symptoms are increasingly disturbing. Taking this job will give Mina some experience, Sam will get the scoop of a lifetime, and Alice will get better - Mina is sure of it. But as Alice's behaviour becomes increasingly inexplicable and intense, the dark cracks in Banathel begin to show. The village has a deep history of superstition and witchcraft. They believe there is evil in the world, and they have ways of . . . dealing with it. Mina is desperate to understand how deep their sinister traditions go - and how her own past may be the biggest threat of all. 'A haunting suspense novel that readers will not soon forget' Library Journal 'A taut tale that chillingly intertwines psychological and supernatural suspense' Kirkus 'A deliciously creepy and twisty chiller that fans of The Conjuring and Stephen King will love' Bestselling author Mark Edwards 'Pearce provides visceral descriptions of people and places and smells and sounds to create a world where no one can trust their senses. Readers will be left questioning which is more disturbing, the rot within or the evil of other people' Booklist 'Pearce has written something magical with the capacity of leaving me genuinely frightened. There are scenes in this book I'll never forget' Kristi DeMeester, author of Such a Pretty Smile 'A terrific tale of cults, witch bottles, curses, witchcraft and the 'old ways'"Horror DNA 'The perfect dark, creepy, witchy read to keep you warm with fright this winter... creepy, emotional, complex, and incredibly atmospheric' Horror Bound Books by Daisy Pearce SOMETHING IN THE WALLS DARK IS WHEN THE DEVIL COMES
