Spine-tingling, mind-altering and deliciously atmospheric, journey into the dark side of America with nine of its most uncanny classics.
Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything.

And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.

The epic sequel to Chuck Wendig's apocalyptic literary masterpiece WANDERERS.
HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THE END OF THE WORLD?
Five years ago, a group of ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country. They were followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them.
Their destination, Ouray, became one of the last outposts of civilization, because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world - and the birth of a new one.
But the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and their new world is fragile. Forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse.
Against these threats, they have only one hope: one another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is together.

For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs . . . even contract killings. The vice was controlled by a small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumoured to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

Keith's father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to 'clean up the Coast.' Hugh's father became the 'Boss' of Biloxi's criminal underground.

The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom.

"Expertly told, the plot crackles with life" DAILY MAIL
"Salander is centre stage . . . A pacy read" SUNDAY EXPRESS
"Exciting and disturbing" LITERARY REVIEW
**********************************************************************************
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO HAS FRESH OUTRAGE TO AVENGE
As Salander follows the scorched trail of her twin sister to Moscow, Blomkvist fears for her safety. He should, perhaps, be more concerned for himself. The murder of a homeless man on the streets of Stockholm has drawn him into a conspiracy that scales the heights of Everest and plunges to the depths of Russia's criminal underworld.
And now Lisbeth will face her nemesis. For the girl with the dragon tattoo, the personal is always political - and ultimately deadly.
"A unique concoction that should leave Salander's legion of followers clamoring for more" Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding
THE BESTSELLING GLOBAL PHENOMENON
Meet Lisbeth Salander - the iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide.
"As vivid as bloodstains on snow . . . a perfect introduction to the unique strengths of
Scandinavian crime fiction"LEE CHILD
Lisbeth Salander gets under the skin of her targets like no-one else. Those who underestimate her live to regret it. If they're lucky . . .
Mikael Blomkvist - disgraced journalist, womanizer - is everything she ought to hate. But when she is hired by a security firm to investigate him, her report on his life reveals an integrity that fascinates her.
Then she discovers that Blomkvist is cracking open the cold case of a missing girl - uncovering secrets that have poisoned a family through generations.
And only one thing gives Salander greater satisfaction than exposing a liar: stopping a killer.
With an introduction by Val McDermid
The untapped natural resources of Sweden's far north are sparking a gold rush, with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it's not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. Her niece's mother is the latest woman in the region to have vanished without trace. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager -- and she's being watched.
Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is also heading north. He has seen better days. Millennium magazine is in its final print issue, and relations with his daughter are strained. Worse still, there are troubling rumours surrounding the man she's about to marry. When the truth behind the whispers explodes into violence, Salander emerges as Blomkvist's last hope.
Lisbeth Salander is an unstoppable force:
Sentenced to two months in Flodberga women’s prison for saving a young boy’s life by any means necessary, Salander refuses to say anything in her own defence. She has more important things on her mind.
Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week – and receives a lead to follow for his pains. For him, it looks to be an important expose for Millennium. For her, it could unlock the facts of her childhood.
Even from a corrupt prison system run largely by the inmates, Salander will stand up for what she believes in, whatever the cost. And she will seek the truth that is somehow connected with her childhood memory, of a woman with a blazing birthmark on her neck – that looked as if it had been burned by a dragon’s fire . . .
The tension, power and unstoppable force of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye are inspired by Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy, as Salander and Blomkvist continue the fight for justice that has thrilled millions of readers across the world.
Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist have not been in touch for some time.
Then Blomkvist is contacted by renowned Swedish scientist Professor Balder. Warned that his life is in danger, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story - and it is a terrifying one.
More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's world-leading advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker.
It seems that Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters - and a violent criminal conspiracy that will very soon bring terror to the snowbound streets of Stockholm, to the Millennium team, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO RETURNS The iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide. "Not just the extraordinary conclusion to the trilogy, but a work that contains its own fully-rounded plot . . . Brilliant" Val Mcdermid Lisbeth Salander is a threat to national security. Since she was thirteen, shady government forces have conspired to keep her quiet. Prone to violence, deemed mentally disturbed, she has had her freedom removed and her every movement watched. Yet still, she is an unstoppable force for justice. Salander has a bullet in her head. She is wanted for murder. She knows that the secrets and corruption at the heart of her country's government go right to the top. And she won't take it lying down . . . "Some novels claim to be page-turners, this trilogy is the real deal" Financial Times "This is a grown-up novel for grown-up readers, who want something more than a quick fix and a car chase . . . A publishing phenomenon all over the world" Kate Mosse
Stieg Larsson was the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Expo. He was a leading expert on anti-democratic, right-wing extremist organisations. He died in 2004, soon after delivering the text of the novels that make up the Millennium Trilogy.
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO RETURNS
The iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide.
"Even more gripping and astonishing than the first" Sunday Times
Lisbeth Salander can be viciously violent. Mikael Blomkvist knows it - and owes his life to it.
When a criminologist and a journalist who works with Blomkvist at Millennium magazine are killed on the brink of publishing a brutal expose of human trafficking, the evidence points in one direction.
Salander's prints are on the murder weapon. But Blomkvist knows Lisbeth would never act without reason, and he cannot find one here.
The victims were his friends. But so is Salander. Something much more dangerous is surely at play . . .
"That rare thing - a sequel that is even better than the book that went before" Observer
Do czego się posuniesz, by chronić swoje dziecko? W świecie dotkniętym kryzysem bezpłodności ostatnie naturalne narodziny zdarzyły się ponad dwadzieścia lat temu. Obecnie jedyną drogą do poczęcia jest przejście bolesnego procesu indukcji. Wszystkie noworodki są ściśle monitorowane, a ich rodzice muszą przestrzegać drobiazgowych reguł, bo jeśli państwo uzna ich za niezdolnych do pełnienia obowiązków rodzicielskich, dziecko zostanie poddane ekstrakcji i umieszczone w jednym ze specjalnych kompleksów. Kit widziała już wielu rodziców, którzy stoczyli heroiczną walkę: najpierw by spłodzić, a potem zatrzymać potomstwo. Sądziła więc, że nie chce zostać matką. Jednak gdy poznała Thomasa, urodziła im się Mimi. Wkrótce kumulacja drobnych błędów sprawia, że groźba ekstrakcji staje się coraz bardziej realna, a Kit musi zdecydować, jak daleko jest gotowa się posunąć, by nie dopuścić do utraty dziecka i rozpadu rodziny. „Opowieść podręcznej” w futurystycznych realiach. - Sarah Langan, autorka powieści „Dobrzy sąsiedzi” Trzymająca w napięciu opowieść o miłości i determinacji. - Deirdre Sullivan, autorka powieści „Perfectly Preventable Deaths” Doskonale oddaje siłę miłości i wynikający z niej strach. - Dave Rudden, autor serii „Rycerze pożyczonego mroku” Pełen napięcia thriller, jest w nim wszystko. - Emily Koch, autorka powieści „Czy umrę, nim się zbudzę?” Mocna i głęboko poruszająca, spadkobierczyni „Nie opuszczaj mnie” Kazuo Ishiguro i „Roku 1984” George’a Orwella. - Tim Major, autor powieści „Hope Island” Mroczna, piękna i słodko-gorzka.

Czasami martwe jest lepsze. Zazwyczaj przeprowadzka to początek nowego życia, ale dla rodziny Creedów stała się początkiem ich końca. Mistrz horroru Stephen King zaprasza czytelników na wycieczkę do piekła i z powrotem! Na świecie istnieją dobre i złe miejsca. Nowy dom rodziny Creedów w Ludlow był niewątpliwie dobrym miejscem - przytulną, przyjazną wiejską przystanią po zgiełku i chaosie Chicago. Cudowne otoczenie Nowej Anglii, łąki, las to idealna siedziba dla młodego lekarza, jego żony, dwójki dzieci i kota. Wspaniała praca, mili sąsiedzi i droga, po której nieustannie przetaczają się ciężarówki. Droga i miejsce za domem, w lesie, pełne wzniesionych dziecięcymi rękami nagrobków - to tam dzieci z miasteczka zakopują swe martwe zwierzaki. Ci, którzy nie znają przeszłości, zwykle ją powtarzają... i nie chcą słuchać ostrzeżeń. Stephen King napisał tę powieść podczas pobytu w wynajętym domku w Orrington, w stanie Maine. Fakt ten niewiele by znaczył, gdyby nie cmentarz zwierząt, który znajdował się nieopodal
Bestialska zbrodnia. Śledztwo pełne znaków zapytania. Stephen King, znajdujący się w szczególnie owocnym okresie twórczości, przedstawia jedną ze swoich najbardziej niepokojących i wciągających opowieści. W parku miejskim znalezione zostaje zmasakrowane ciało jedenastoletniego chłopca. Naoczni świadkowie i odciski palców nie pozostawiają wątpliwości: sprawcą zbrodni jest jeden z najbardziej lubianych obywateli Flint City. To Terry Maitland, trener drużyn młodzieżowych, nauczyciel angielskiego, mąż i ojciec dwóch córek. Detektyw Ralph Anderson, którego syna Maitland kiedyś trenował, nakazuje przeprowadzić natychmiastowe aresztowanie w świetle jupiterów. Maitland ma wprawdzie alibi, ale Anderson i prokurator okręgowy wkrótce zdobywają kolejny niezbity dowód: ślady DNA. Sprawa wydaje się oczywista. Kiedy w toku śledztwa zaczynają wychodzić na jaw przerażające szczegóły, porywająca opowieść Kinga wchodzi na wyższe obroty, napięcie narasta, aż staje się niemal nie do zniesienia. Terry Maitland na pozór jest miłym człowiekiem, ale czy ma drugie oblicze? Odpowiedź szokuje tak jak szokować potrafi tylko Stephen King. W serialu na podstawie bestsellerowej powieści mistrza grozy występują m.in. Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo oraz Bill Camp.
