Kun joki jäätyy, tyhjenee Porvoo turisteista. Pikkukaupunkiin jäävät paikalliset pikkutytöt, salaliittoteoreetikot ja okkultismin harrastajat. Jään alla, kaupungin laitamilla, muinoin ja nyt liikkuu monenlaisia tarinoita, jotka kertovat kukin tavallaan siitä, miltä pelko tuntuu, miten kauhu syntyy, mitä kaikkea marras voi tarkoittaa. Kirjan novellit hipaisevat kauhun kylmiä väreitä. Tarinat liikkuvat kartanoissa, kellareissa ja kylpyammeissa, ne poikkeavat kirkkosalissa ja pirunportailla. Novelleissa kummallisiin talvisiin tilanteisiin joutuvat niin kylähullut ja kiltit porvoolaistytöt kuin sukeltajat ja tutkijat. Toivomme että törmäät tuttuihin ja outoihin asioihin, koet kaikki marraskuun värit novellikokoelman parissa! Ja jos satut kulkemaan pitkin porvoolaisia katuja, älä vilkuile taaksesi, sillä... Marras-kokoelmassa on 17 ennen julkaisematonta novellia, joissa Porvoo ei ole pelkkää pastellia. Uskallatko ylittää sillan?
Siellä missä on silta, on myös vettä. Syvällistä, pinnallista, tai vain pärskeitä. Silloissa on kaiteita, kaiteissa on lukkoja, ja joskus sillat romahtavat lukkojen painosta tai ilman. Silloilla ja siltojen alla ollaan yhdessä tai yksin, hiljaa tai äänessä. Yhdistääkö silta vai erottaako se? Koituuko silta kohtaloksi vai siunaukseksi? Ja kumpi on lopulta parempi? Sivupiiri-kirjoittajaryhmän toisen julkaisun 22 novellia liikkuu Porvoossa ja sen laitamilla, historiassa, nykyajassa ja tulevaisuudessa. Ne tarkastelevat siltaa sekä fyysisenä että kuvainnollisena osana elämää.

A postmodern Victorian novel about faith, knowledge and our inner needs. The late 1870s, the Kentish village of Downe. The villagers gather in church one rainy Sunday. Only Thomas Davies stays away. The eccentric loner, father of two and a grief-stricken widower, works as a gardener for the notorious naturalist, Charles Darwin. He shuns religion. But now Thomas needs answers. What should he believe in? And why should he continue to live? Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'This is Peirene's most poetic book yet. A tale of God, grief and talking chickens. Like Dylan Thomas in Under Milk Wood, Carlson evokes the voices of an entire village, and, through them, the spirit of the age. This i...

THIS IS NOT A GAME is a novel built around the coolest phenomenon in the world. That phenomenon is known as the Alternate Reality Game, or ARG. It's big, and it's getting bigger. It's immersive and massively interactive, and it's spreading through the Internet at the speed of light. To the player, the Alternate Reality Game has no boundaries. You can be standing in a parking lot, or a shopping center. A pay phone near you will ring, and on the other end will be someone demanding information. You'd better have the information handy. ARGs combine video, text adventure, radio plays, audio, animation, improvisational theatre, graphics, and story into an immersive experience. Now, one of science fiction's most acclaimed writers, Walter Jon Williams, brings this extraordinary phenomenon to life in a pulse-pounding thriller. This is not a game. This is a novel that will blow your mind.
