Beschreibung

The Norse myths that inspired generations of superhero fans and mythology-lovers, perfect for fans of the Loki television series and the MCU. Before he was the infamous movie villain, Loki was the beloved God of Norse lore.  From Padriac Colum, three-time Newbery honor winner, comes this delightful collection of some of the greatest myths ever told, highlighting Loki’s grand adventures.  Loki’s antics are plentiful:  Convincing Thor to wear a wedding gown. Chopping off Sif’s golden locks. Masquerading as a maiden among the Giants. Tricking dwarves into molding the ever-popular hammer. And he does it all to save Asgard, time and again. But Loki tires of the Gods’ idiocy. And he’s done being their lackey.  Could his anger lead to the destruction of Asgard and all the Gods? Or will the Gods win? Including a foreword from legendary Marvel writer Peter David, this is the origin story that all true Loki fans must know!

    In The Middle Toe of the Right Foot, Ambrose Bierce weaves a chilling and unsettling tale where the ordinary becomes terrifyingly abnormal. The story explores the curious intersection of fate and superstition, as a simple injury leads to an unnerving series of events. With his signature blend of dark humor and gothic sensibility, Bierce crafts a narrative that challenges the reader's understanding of reality, turning the most mundane of circumstances into a source of dread.
    Through his mastery of suspense, Bierce creates an atmosphere where the lines between rational thought and irrational fear blur. The middle toe of the right foot, seemingly a trivial detail, becomes a symbol of psychological unease, embodying the fragility of the human mind and its susceptibility to the irrational.
