Howard Philips Lovecraft (1890-1937) er amerikansk horrorlitteraturs største navn mellem Edgar Allan Poe og Stephen King. I sin levetid opnåede han kun meget begrænset udbredelse, men senere har hans særegne, intense skrivestil og ofte kontroversielle verdensbillede fået kolossal indflydelse inden for både litteratur, fra Stephen King til Michel Houellebecq, film, tegneserier, rollespil, computerspil og musik, fra Metallica til Deadmau5. Dette bind indleder Lovecrafts forfatterskab og præsenterer hans samlede fortællinger fra debuten i 1905 og frem til forfatterskabets afgørende midterperiode fra 1926-1928, der tidligere er blevet udgivet i bindet ‘Cthulhu kalder’. I nærværende bind findes flere af de tekster, der er med til at forme de senere så udviklede mytologier, der blev Lovecrafts urovækkende arv til verden, side om side med etuder og skitser. Samtidig er der blevet plads til Lovecrafts vidtberømte essay ‘Overnaturlig Rædsel i Litteraturen’, et væsentligt bidrag i faglitteraturen om horrorgenren.

‘Nymåne’ er den anden bog i den internationale bestseller-serie af Stephenie Meyer. Her følger vi naturligvis Bellas liv igen, hvor frygten for officielt at blive ældre end Edward er større end nogensinde. Bella har fødselsdag som ender frygtelig, og Edward beslutter at flytte væk fra den lille by Forks, da truslen mod Bellas liv pludselig bliver større end forventet. Bellas liv tager en hurtigt drejning med sorg og ubevidsthed, men som med hjælp fra hendes ven Jacob Black langsomt bliver bygget op igen til noget der minder om et almindeligt liv. Hukommelsen er dog stærk og hvis bare hendes tanker kunne glemme Edward. I modsætning til den første bog i twilight sagaen ‘Tusmørke’ handler denne historie i højere grad om at miste sand kærlighed. ‘Nymåne’ og alle seriens bøger er en beundret forførende kærlighedshistorie, der vil have en speciel plads i dit hjerte, længe efter den er blevet læst.

Den tredje bog i Frank Herberts storslåede science-fiction-serie. Kejserens børn, tvillingerne Leto og Ghanima, har overnaturlige kræfter og rummer alle tidligere generationers erfaringer. De trues under magtkampen på Klit, som er begyndt at grønnes. Leto og Ghanima forsøger at erobre magten og skabe fred på Klit, efter at de har været udsat for et mislykket attentat.Frank Herbert (1920-86) blev født i Tacoma, Washington, og arbejdede som journalist og senere som redaktør for en række aviser, inden han blev fuldtidsforfatter. Hans første science fiction-historie blev publiceret i 1952, og i de følgende år udgav han en lang række noveller og romaner. Dune udkom i 1965 og blev det første af seks værker i sagaen om ørkenplaneten Arrakis. Sagaens tematisering af ressourceknaphed, geopolitik og planetarisk økologi har gjort den til en forløber for nutidens cli-fi og det aktuelle fokus på klimaforandringer. Efter Herberts død har hans søn, Brian Herbert og forfatteren Kevin J. Anderson, skrevet en lang række romaner inden for Dune-universet. Herberts omfattende øvrige forfatterskab spænder bredt, men til de mest læseværdige værker hører blandt andre romanerne The Green Brain (1965) og specielt Hellstrom’s Hive (1973), der begge tematiserer menneskets prekære forhold til naturen og den aktuelle planetariske situation.

Nu fortsætter historien i bind otte, SKREVET MED MIT HJERTEBLOD.Det er juni 1778, og hele verden synes anderledes. Den britiske hær trækker sig ud af Philadelphia, forfulgt af George Washington, og for første gang ser det ud til, at de amerikanske oprørere faktisk kan gå hen og vinde. Men for Claire og hendes familie er der endnu mere tumultagtige revolutioner at tage hånd om. Hendes tidligere ægtemand, Jamie, er vendt tilbage fra de døde og forlanger at få at vide, hvorfor hun har giftet sig med hans bedste ven, lord John Grey, i hans fravær. Lord Johns søn, den niende jarl af Ellesmere, bliver ikke mindre chokeret over at opdage, at hans rigtige far er den nyligt genopståede Jamie Fraser, og Jamies nevø, Ian Murray, opdager, at hans nyfundne fætter har et godt øje til kvinden, som lige har sagt ja til at gifte sig med ham. Og mens Claire er rædselsslagen for, at den ene af hendes ægtemænd måske vil myrde den anden, står hendes efterkommere i det 20. århundrede i en endnu mere desperat situation – hendes datter, Brianna, prøver at beskytte sin søn mod en ondsindet kriminel med mord i sinde, mens hendes mand, Roger, er forsvundet et sted i fortiden …

Set 300 years before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire, FIRE AND BLOOD is the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros as told by Archmaester Gyldayn, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through to the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever. The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones. With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R.R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen - the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria - took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of Daenerys's three dragon eggs? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.
