Pandora - 1.
Pam ama la musica metal e il suo look estremo non la fa mai passare inosservata. Eppure lei si sente invisibile. Perché nessuno la vede davvero, oltre gli occhi bistrati di nero e i vestiti dark. Nessuno tranne Sam, che vive in un palazzone alla periferia di Roma e, come lei, è un escluso. I due ragazzi non si conoscono, ma i loro destini collidono la notte di Halloween, quando un antico rito si compie: durante una seduta spiritica, Pam apre un misterioso scrigno proveniente dall'antico Egitto da cui si sprigionano gli Angeli della Morte, sei demoni che si impossessano di corpi umani seminando terrore nel mondo. Nulla sarà più come prima: Sam acquisirà il terribile potere di uccidere con il tocco delle mani, mentre Pam diventerà davvero invisibile. Solo con l'aiuto del nuovo amico potrà ritrovare gli Angeli della Morte che ha liberato: perché il suo nome è Pandora, l'Apriporta.

The Palgrave Handbook of Global Fantasy
This handbook is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive overview of fantasy outside the Anglo-American hegemony. While most academic studies of fantasy follow the well-trodden path of focusing on Tolkien, Rowling, and others, our collection spotlights rich and unique fantasy literatures in India, Australia, Italy, Greece, Poland, Russia, China, and many other areas of Europe, Asia, and the global South. The first part focuses on the theoretical aspects of fantasy, broadening and modifying existing definitions to accommodate the global reach of the genre. The second part contains essays illuminating specific cultures, countries, and religious or ethnic traditions. From Aboriginal myths to (self)-representation of Tibet, from the appropriation of the Polish Witcher by the American pop culture to modern Greek fantasy that does not rely on stories of Olympian deities, and from Israeli vampires to Talmudic sages, this collection is an indispensable reading for anyone interested in fantasy fiction and global literature.
Keeping It Real
The Quantum Bomb of 2015 changed everything. The fabric that kept the universe's different dimensions apart was torn and now, six years later, the people of earth exist in uneasy company with the inhabitants of, amongst others, the elven, elemental and demonic realms. Magic is real and can be even more dangerous than technology. Elves are exotic, erotic, dangerous and really bored with the constant Lord of the Rings references. Elementals are a law unto themselves and demons are best left well to themselves. Special agent Lila Black used to be pretty but now she's not so sure. Her body is now more than half restless carbon and metal alloy machinery. A machine she's barely in control of. It goes into combat mode, enough weapons for a small army springing from within itself, at the merest provocation. As for her heart . . . well ever since being drawn into a Game by the elven rockstar she's been assigned to protect, she's not even sure she can trust that anymore either.

The Purple Emperor

When Pyrgus and Holly are confronted with their greatest fear, they too have to prove themselves to be courageous beyond their own expectations.

Ruler of the Realm
It is Henry's third visit to the Faerie Realm, but this time in a rather different guise and to a rather different kind of place. Holly Blue is Queen and Lord Hairstreak appears to be proposing a truce between the Faeries of the Night and the Faeries of the Light. Meanwhile Prince Pyrgus has stumbled across some mysterious crystal flowers with an apparently formidable secret weapon, and there are rumours of a demon invasion led by Beleth, the Prince of Darkness. Queen Blue, wary of her uncle's uncharacteristic generosity, pays a visit to the Spicemaster's labyrinth in an attempt to divine the possible future of the Realm. She is warned to beware of someone close, little realising just how careful she will need to be - and when she is kidnapped by the most unlikely candidate, the Realm rapidly descends into chaos. In a dramatic adventure, Blue, Pyrgus and Henry will find themselves in the midst of a furious battle to protect the future of the Realm and secure the throne for the rightful ruler.
