On the last day of planet Earth, a love-struck couple cling to each other as the world burns. They survive only to greet a new dawn – one filled with violent mutations and terrifying consequences – conceived from the ashes of humanity's defeat.

Join over 20 authors from around the world as they lay down for us a truly frightening universe – one that, after reading, Romeo could end up eating Juliette's heart out over instead of his own.
Fairy-tales, myths and fables spark the imagination. They give us hints of insight, windows and snapshots of greater stories. On the surface, however, these tales are simply entertaining. But what if that's not enough? After Lines takes the classically told fairy-tale, myth, legend, or fable, and brings its hidden complexity to the surface - Stephanie Buosi (Editor-in-chief Erebus Press)

Alors que, plus encore que celui des sociétés industrielles, l'avenir des sociétés de services paraît se jouer dans la centralité des grandes agglomérations et dans leur proximité immédiate, pourquoi s'intéresser aujourd'hui aux campagnes marquées par la faible densité de leur peuplement ? C'est que celles-ci ne peuvent plus être considérées comme le négatif déprimé de celles-là. Participant de la modernité sociale, la rareté des hommes, notion relative qu'il convient d'analyser, en fait des espaces maintenant désirés, arpentés, appropriés aussi par les citadins et pour lesquels s'impose la mise en oeuvre de politiques publiques spécifiques. Ce sont quelques-uns des thèmes qui sont discutés dans cet ouvrage, fruit d'un colloque de géographes français et espagnols spécialisés dans l'analyse des campagnes. Organisé à l'initiative du laboratoire toulousain « Dynamiques rurales », il s'est tenu à Foix, en Ariège, au sein d'un territoire justement emblématique de tous les atouts et contradictions liés à la faible densité.

Pennies From Across the Veil is a love story... about death. Karl Himmel tells the story to an unknown presence, of how he met, fell in love, and married the woman of his dreams, Jenny Engels. But at the time of the telling, Karl and Jenny find themselves on different sides of the veil—the separation we call death. But not even death can stop true love. Powerful signs come to those from loved ones who have passed. They can be found any and everywhere, we just need to look for them. The most significant for Karl and Jenny was the finding of numerous wheat-back pennies. However, could there have been many others, and did these signs have a deeper meaning?
