  One of the most acclaimed young voices of his generation, Blake Butler now offers his first work of nonfiction: a deeply candid and wildly original look at the phenomenon of insomnia.Invoking scientific data, historical anecdote, Internet obsession, and figures as diverse as Andy Warhol, Gilles Deleuze, John Cage, Anton LaVey, Jorge Luis Borges, Brian Eno, and Stephen King, Butler traces the tension between sleeping and conscious life. And he reaches deep into his own experience—from disturbing waking dreams, to his father’s struggles with dementia, to his own epic 129-hour bout of insomnia—to reveal the effect of sleeplessness on his imaginative landscape. The result is an exhilarating exploration of dream and awareness, desperation and relief, consciousness and conscience—a fascinating maze-map of the borders between sleep and the waking world by one of today’s most talked-about writers.

  Something is driving the entire piglin race into extinction…It all started when a mysterious portal spawned in the middle of the Crimson Forest. None of us knew who built it, where it came from, or how it ended up there. It was unlike anything we’ve seen in the Nether before. Little did we know, it would be the beginning of the end – The Armageddon.You see, this portal opened our world to something evil, dark, and monstrous. Something that wants us all dead. Piglins are being brutally killed in silence, burned at the stake, and thrown at the sea of lava. Desperate for protection, the piglins have crowned someone from another world as the savior and ruler of all – someone we call Golden Steve. However, instead of offering security, his reign made things even more complicated and dangerous.Now, I am left with no other choice: I need to get to the bottom of all these mysteries for the sake of our survival. The future of all piglins rest on my shoulders. Can I put a stop to all these chaos before it is too late? Will I be able to rise above the odds and defeat evil? Is life in the Nether World ever going to be the same again?This unofficial Minecraft book is not authorized, endorsed or sponsored by Microsoft Corp., Mojang AB, Notch Development AB or any other person or entity owning or controlling the rights of the Minecraft name, trademark or copyrights.

Like its macho predecessor, Badass: The Birth of a Legend  celebrates fearless berserkers of every stripe, male and female, but this time pulls them from the hoary pages of mythology, fantasy fiction, and the silver screen—from Zeus to Beowulf to Dirty Harry Callahan, the most merciless gods, monsters, heroes, villains, and mythical creatures ever envisioned. Forget your whiny Twilight vampires and werewolves, these badasses kick butt!

  Bowie - An Illustrated Life

  “An entertaining and informative glimpse of Bowie’s public and private life, music and disappearance from this earth.” —Shelf Media Group   David Bowie was a master of artifice and reinvention. In that same spirit, illustrator María Hesse and writer Fran Ruiz have created a vivid retelling of the life of David Robert Jones, from his working-class childhood to glam rock success to superstardom, concluding with the final recording sessions after his cancer diagnosis.   Narrated from the rock star’s point of view, Bowie colorfully renders both the personal and the professional turning points in a life marked by evolution and innovation. We see Bowie facing the sorrow of his brother’s mental illness, kicking a cocaine habit while other musicians succumbed to deadly overdoses, contending with a tumultuous love life, and radiating joy as a father. Along the way, he describes how he shattered the boundaries of song and society with a counterculture cast that included Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, and Freddie Mercury, as well as his own creations, Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke.   Evocatively illustrated from start to finish, Bowie is a stellar tribute to an inimitable star.  “While Bowie portrayed many larger-than-life characters in his music, this book attempts to turn Bowie himself into a similarly superhuman character, adding a few extra dashes of magic, wonder and awe into his already stunning life as an artist.” —Paste  “Beautifully illustrated . . . Not a ‘graphic biography’ but something more imaginative.” —Shepherd Express  “The art reflects a man consumed with himself as an evolving art project, at once self-absorbed and self-sacrificing, cooly aesthetic and curiously, lovably human.” —Publishers Weekly
