Crowley uses allegory to explore themes of decadence, spiritual decline, and the collapse of civilizations, blending fantasy with occult philosophy to critique societal corruption and the misuse of power.
A "genuinely scary" horror debut written in "prose so beautiful you won't want to rush" about a boy who transforms into a monster, a monster who tries to be a man, and the people who love him in every form he takes (Ana Reyes) Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago's lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family's decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family's communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life. A thought-provoking meditation on grief, acceptance, and the monstrous sides of love and loyalty, Gerardo Sámano Córdova blends bold imagination and evocative prose with deep emotional rigor. Told in four acts that span the globe from Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers, with uncanny clarity, a cathartic and precise portrait of being human.Mostra libro
Nick Powell, arriving in Hong Kong with his soon-to-be-ex-wife Lennox, finds himself drawn into the political machinations affecting the city as the Occupy movement of 2014 takes root. A fatal accident exposes the factions vying for control of the SAR and gives Nick the second chance desired by many Hong Kong expats. Will he make the most of the opportunity, or find himself on the wrong side of history? Shifting between a variety of unique voices, HONG KONG ROCKS (a Hong Kong Proverse Prize finalist) is part thriller, part creative exploration of the challenges facing a special administrative region punching above its weight. Though rooted in experience and influenced by real-life events, this novel represents an alternative version of Hong Kong’s recent history and takes regular liberties within this parallel world for the benefit of satire. The book was completed after the Occupy protests of 2014 but before the escalation of protests in the territory beginning June 2019, the action taking place in a notional 2018. —Peter Humphreys, Author.Mostra libro

Millennia ago, in the time of dragons, love and hate colored the very air monsters breathed. Amidst these beasts, a forbidden love bloomed. A child was born. But misfortune struck, and a murder rocked the world, tearing the family apart. Years piled atop this death, legends faded, and myths were twisted. Now, in one of America's busiest cities, thrives a woman with no last name. Evangeline is from a time before human tradition and provincialism. She is strong, born of legendary parents, and trained by a solitary existence and sheer willpower. When she learns that she has a fate beyond her control as queen, she rebels. Eva refuses to yield despite the king's vivid gray eyes that see through her. She refuses him, not only because of who she is—but because of who he is. The Dragon King bent on claiming her is the man who murdered her father. But a primordial sleeping force has awakened to wreak havoc, and a Traitor to the Kings has returned to hunt Evangeline down. Eva learns that not even her beliefs about the Dragon King are guaranteed. And ultimately, Eva finds herself trapped: Between cruel, heartless evil and the love of an ancient, dark, and beautiful man. Contains mature themes.Mostra libro
