Sometimes, staying alive during the apocalypse is harder than dying. Jack and Linda live a peaceful married life on their farm. Then, one day, The Collapse comes before they can adequately prepare, changing the world as they know it - and with it, their lives. Now, Jack is all alone, wandering the rooms of the spacious house, painfully reminded of Linda's presence wherever he looks. He can't leave the farm - if the bloodthirsty flesh-eaters don't get to him, then the crazed humans surviving in isolation will. There is something else keeping Jack on the farm. Something far too valuable to him – and his attachment to it could spell his demise.Voir livre
The Plague Doctor A short historical Magicians story. Warlock Blake is captured and tortured by witch hunters, and he's not hiding it or escaping when he can easily, but why? Reworked and re-read. Murdered By Death "Who killed her?" asked Reynard. "A grim reaper," said the Necromantor. "Lancelot, why did you kill her?" said Mortimer, turning on his son. "It wasn't me! Why does everyone always blame me when they see a dead person," protested the Necromancer. "Because you are usually the killer, you psycho," said Mortimer. "I am not guilty now," said the Necromancer. "It wasn't him the reaper spoke, he had a deep bass-baritone-sounding voice," said the Necromantor. "I can't go that low," said Lance, the Necromancer who was a light tenor. "Oh, looks like we have work to do on our side, Uncle Rey," Mortimer, who was also the local coroner, said, "We'll deal with it!"Voir livre
Ancient heroes from Irish mythology and folklore come to life in the modern world in this dark, atmospheric story. At once a thrilling chase novel and a wry reimagining of Ireland's oldest epic. Everybody is after the girl in the bog. One morning in a field in Connemara, a farmer unearths the body of a young woman, two thousand years old, preserved under layers of peat. Later that evening, she awakens in unfamiliar modern Ireland, ripping a hole through space and time and setting awhirl old animosities and long-held grudges. Shadowy figures follow her from the pagan past, and each emerges with a claim on the girl from the bog. With help from a trio of wannabe teenage witches, she goes on the run. Joining in the chase is an American archaeologist who wants to keep the discovery for herself and two befuddled farmers trapped in the plot. Hosts of fairies out for the night work their magic and mischief, and in the blue hour before sunrise, the saga unfolds in a battle for the ages. Part fantasy, part mystery, part thriller, part send-up, this comic and poignant love song to Irish literature and the gift of gab does not merely bend genres; it braids them into Celtic knots.Voir livre
