They Carry a Promise
This bracing collection marks the first appearance in English of the Polish poet Janusz Szuber, hailed as the greatest discovery in Polish poetry of the late twentieth century when, in his late forties, he began publishing the work he’d been producing for almost thirty years. Nobel Laureate Wislawa Szymborska has called him a “superb poet,” and Zbigniew Herbert said that “his poetry speaks to the hard part of the soul.” Szuber is an intensely elegant writer whose poems are short and accessible; his work is poised between the rigors of making poetry and life itself in all its messy glory, between the devastations of history and the quiet act of observing our place in it all. “Gram...
Burn the Witch
"Burn The Witch" reads very smoothly and pleasantly which is due to fairly light language used in the novel, as well as specific, sarcastic humor. Sanika is pleasantly feisty, her statements often bring smile to face, although there are also elements of darkness or passing from irony into grim truth. Magda Kubasiewicz's world sucked me in completely. It was great to read it riding a bus through Krakow's streets, or sit in one of Bracka Street cafes, and imagine that it was there that Sanika likes to walk at night, and chase demons and monsters away. "Burn The Witch" is a book that has not failed expectations and its dynamics, unpredictability and climate are just some of the many advantages....
The Sunday Girl
The Girl on the Train meets Before I Go to Sleep with a dash of Bridget Jones in this chilling tale of love gone horribly wrong … Any woman who’s ever been involved with a bad, bad man and been dumped will understand what it feels like to be broken, broken-hearted and bent on revenge. Taylor Bishop is hurt, angry and wants to destroy Angus Hollingsworth in the way he destroyed her: ‘Insidiously. Irreparably. Like a puzzle he’d slowly dissembled … stolen a couple of pieces from, and then discarded, knowing that nobody would ever be able to put it back together ever again.’ So Taylor consults The Art of War and makes a plan. Then she takes the next irrevocable step – one that will change her life forever. Things start to spiral out of her control – and The Sunday Girl becomes impossible to put down. Praise for The Sunday Girl 'A gripping psychological thriller.' – The Daily Telegraph 'The Girls Club of psychological thrillers has a worthy new member.' – Herald Sun 'Exciting, irresistible, and real.' – Good Reading ? ‘An abrasive thriller that will leave readers with a bit of a burn’ – Booklist
Inanite
Sometimes, it's the moment that you achieve your dream when the real trouble starts. Ever since the day Vesper became a Lord, he's been forced to dodge an endless rain of troubles. It's not as simple as merely finding a way to feed and pay his own Family, oh no. The real trouble is trying to find a way to co-operate with the other vampire lords, each with hundreds of years of experience and no patience for a bold young upstart with his own ideas of how things should be done. Luckily for him, the world itself is crying out for the Inanité family, a neutral middle ground who are neither good nor evil. In a time of danger and uncertainty, the whole vampire community is looking to them for guidance. Rumors swirl that there are terrible enemies poised to attack all the vampire clans, armed with some kind of weapon that will poison the kindred bloodlines and wipe them out once and for all. The final hand is about to be dealt, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Rybalko goes to Ukraine and recovers the corpse, which no-one has dared to touch because of its radioactive contamination.

Chernobyl
"Named the "man of legend" by the Washington Post, Igor Kostin is the main witness of the Chernobyl catastrophe. On April 26, 1986, several hours after the explosion, he flew over the plant; the radioactivity was so high that all his films turned black. Only one single picture survived: it was shown around the world. Surprised by the enormity of the disaster and the silence of the authorities, Kostin decided to stay and live in the midst of the 800,000 "liquidators" who followed each other on the site of the accident." "Himself affected by radiation, he did not stop, but for twenty years continued to photograph the plant and the forbidden zone surrounding it. His story became the story of Chernobyl. He witnessed the evacuation of villages, the desperation and the courage of the people, the construction of the sarcophagus, the men transporting radioactive blocks with naked hands, the machine cemetery, where man no longer belongs ... For the first time he tells the story in words and in pictures."--BOOK JACKET.
