Et musecirkus, en anden mor, en talende kat og et teater fyldt med hunde. Det er noget af det, du møder i Coraline. Hvis altså du tør følge pigen med det mærkelige navn ind bag den mystiske dør. Ind i en verden, der ved første øjekast ligner virkelighedens, men tag ikke fejl!Coraline er eventyr og gys, som river dig med fra første side.Den moderne klassiker er nu blevet illustreret på fineste vis af den franske illustrator Aurélie Neyret, der fanger stemningen i bogen lige på kornet.Pressen skrev bl.a. om bogen:»Oh, at skulle læse Coraline for første gang! … Her er en glædelig, gysende angelsaksisk fantasi om at stå på egne ben og mærke verden for fuld forældreløs styrke. Et magisk værk!«***** - Steffen Larsen, Politiken

The storm was coming.Shadow spent three years in prison, keeping his head down, doing his time. All he wanted was to get back to the loving arms of his wife and to stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. But days before his scheduled release, he learns that his wife has been killed in an accident, and his world becomes a colder place. On the plane ride home to the funeral, Shadow meets a grizzled man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A self-styled grifter and rogue, Wednesday offers Shadow a job. And Shadow, a man with nothing to lose accepts.But working for the enigmatic Wednesday is not without its price, and Shadow soon learns that his role in Wednesday's schemes will be far more dangerous than he ever could have imagined. Entangled in a world of secrets, he embarks on a wild road trip and encounters, among others, the murderous Czernobog, the impish Mr. Nancy, and the beautiful Easter -- all of whom seem to know more about Shadow than he himself does. Shadow will learn that the past does not die, that everyone, including his late wife, had secrets, and that the stakes are higher than anyone could have imagined. All around them a storm of epic proportions threatens to break. Soon Shadow and Wednesday will be swept up into a conflict as old as humanity itself. For beneath the placid surface of everyday life a war is being fought -- and the prize is the very soul of America. As unsettling as it is exhilarating, American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Magnificently told, this work of literary magic will haunt the reader far beyond the final page.
