For Moon Boy, adulthood is coming no matter what. Even if he spends most nights drinking forties in the cemetery with his band, even if he drops out of community college to pursue multiple women for different reasons, and even if he can still see the ghost house rise from the quarry at midnight, he can’t stop the inevitable. When his sister goes missing on opening night at Kip Creeker’s Trail of Terror, Moon Boy’s already overcomplicated life takes a frightening turn, and his grasp on reality starts to slip.

Life doesn’t always give us easy answers. It gives us questions, doubts, setbacks, and moments that shake us awake. We fall. We get hurt. We search for meaning in the small places—conversations, memories, storms, quiet mornings, and the people we’ve loved and lost. The Nature Within Us is a book about those moments. Albert Alarcon writes with the voice of someone who isn’t pretending to have everything figured out.

Tokyo. Un incendie criminel ravage le coeur de l'un des plus grands quartiers d'affaires au monde. L'enquête est confiée à Hayato Ishida, flic prodige mais solitaire qui tente de se reconstruire en marge de la Crim. Il est rejoint par Noémie Legrand, Franco-Japonaise décidée à briser les chaînes d'un quotidien frustrant.

When a boy volunteers for a government experiment, he returns transformed: body accelerated, mind saturated with lifetimes of knowledge. On Earth, wolves terrorize neighborhoods, machines fuse with flesh, and the state whispers promises of immortality. In the vein of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, Boy in Space is a chilling dystopian vision — a story of innocence stripped away, of control disguised as progress, and of what happens when humanity itself becomes the experiment.

Eigentlich wollte Emilia diesen Sommer auf Fuerteventura verbringen. Stattdessen landet sie in ihrem Heimatdorf Gager auf Rügen. Der Grund? Für einen richtigen Urlaub reicht das Geld nicht. Doch eine Einladung zum Klassentreffen bietet ihr unerwartet die Chance, ans Meer zu fahren. Zwischen Lagerfeuer, Gitarre und Nächten in den Dünen trifft sie Cornelius, ihre Jugendliebe, die ihr Herz höherschlagen lässt. Doch dann ist da noch Fabian — der Typ, der sie auf der Zugfahrt nach Rügen mit seinen Kommentaren zur Weißglut gebracht hat. Dumm nur, dass Gager so klein ist, dass man sich täglich begegnet.

Eden Among Us is an intimate and soul-stirring tale of two spirits—Asai and Adham—whose connection was forged long before the world knew their names. Woven together in the celestial Hall of Becoming, their souls danced in mirrored rhythm upon the Loom, destined to one day find each other in the natural realm. But destiny does not unfold without testing. Love, to be remembered, must first be longed for.

Take a meander from places labeled normal to a world that clatters, slinks, and drips. Looks aren't everything and nothing is as it seems. Along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk stands an unassuming diner where love and misery are on the menu. Come for breakfast, stay for the pie. You might never want to leave. The Dark Reflections series is a shared world based on the art by Jeff Lee Johnson in which each author has contributed a single character to the telling of the tale behind the images.

In the ancient Albanian town of Sarandë, where sea winds carry secrets and old bunkers echo with forgotten wars, two unlikely heroes rise.

Afraid her sister (and maybe even herself) could lose sight of their Vietnamese identity, twelve-year-old Bom writes a poetic memoir to help them both remember—a love letter in verse to sisterhood and the places we leave behind. Bom can't believe that her sister doesn't see herself as Vietnamese, only American. She says she doesn't remember Vietnam or their lives there, their family there, their house and friends. How could her sister forget the terrible journey through Saigon and the airplanes and . . . everything?

In the early morning hours of February 25, 1945, U.S. anti-aircraft artillery opened fire on an unidentified object in the skies above Los Angeles. Over the course of the next three hours, "swarms of planes" were reported as roaming the skies above the city of angels, though in the end the public was told it was a false alarm. Now, Moonstone Books has unearthed the truth about that night, and how classic pulp and comic characters The Phantom Detective, The Black Bat, The Domino Lady, Airboy, and Secret Agent X fought back against a menace from another world!

In diesem Hörbuch haben Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim und Marie Meimberg all ihr Wissen vereint. Wenn Du dieses Hörbuch hörst, wirst Du verstehen, warum wir schlafen und was das mit einem inneren Tag-Nacht-Wecker, Zettelchaos in unserem Super-Gehirn, Reparaturen an unseren Zellen und einer rieselnden Sanduhr zu tun hat. Mit Pferden, die nicht kotzen können. Mit Fledermäusen, Eulen und Lerchen. Du wirst verstehen: Diese Frage ist damit verknüpft, wie wir wachsen und erinnern. Wie die Natur vor sich hinstümpert. Und warum Schafe nicht nur zum Zählen da sind. Diese Frage steckt voller Träume.

We live in a world that rewards conformity. From childhood, we’re handed roles, expectations, and silent rules. We learn to shrink, shift, and shape ourselves to fit in. But what if the real problem isn’t you—it’s the life you’ve built trying to be someone else? This book changes everything.
