Keith R. A. DeCandido - Bone Key
Twenty-two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America . . . and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam and Dean are headed for Key West, Florida, home to Hemingway, hurricanes, and a whole lot of demons. The tropical town has so many ghouls on the loose that one of its main moneymakers has long been a series of ghost tours. But the tours are no more, not since one of the guides was found dead of an apparent heart attack . . . his face frozen in mid-scream. No one knows what horrors he saw, but the Winchester brothers are about to find out.
Soon they'll be face-to-face with the ghosts of the island's most infamous residents, demons with a hidden agenda, and a mysterious ancient power looking for revenge. It's up to Sam and Dean to save the citizens of Key West . . . before the beautiful island is reduced to nothing more than a pile of bones.
Keith R. A. DeCandido - Nevermore
Twenty-two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America...and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam and Dean have hit New York City to check out a local rocker's haunted house. But before they can figure out why a lovesick banshee in an '80s heavy-metal T-shirt is wailing in the bedroom, a far more macabre crime catches their attention. Not far from the house, two university students were beaten to death by a strange assailant. A murder that's bizarre even by New York City standards, it's the latest in a line of killings that the brothers soon suspect are based on the creepy stories of legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe.
Their investigation leads them to the center of one of Poe's horror classics, face-to-face with their most terrifying foe yet. And if Sam and Dean don't rewrite the ending of this chilling tale, a grisly serial killer will end their lives forevermore.
Jeff Mariotte - Witch's Canyon
Twenty-two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America...and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam and Dean have set out on a road trip to the Grand Canyon, but this is no vacation for the brothers. On a stretch of deserted ranchland just beyond the canyon's stunning vistas, mysterious murder sprees have occurred every forty years. The area's inhabitants have been few and far between in years past, but a nearby mega-mall is about to celebrate its grand opening—and attract thousands of fresh victims.
The Winchester boys are determined to protect locals and shoppers alike, but they never anticipated they'd be fighting a group of killers this vicious, this vindictive, this . . . dead. A deadly horde of animal spirits and human ghosts has arisen to terrorize this tiny corner of the Arizona desert. If Sam and Dean can't figure out why, the wide-open spaces of the West will once again become a desolate frontier . . . and the witch's canyon will be the brothers' final resting place.

Michael Ende - A Végtelen Történet
TEDD AZT, AMIT AKARSZ
ez a felirata annak a medalionnak, mely a korlátlan hatalmat jelképezi Fantáziában. De hogy ez a mondat voltaképpen mit is jelent, azt Barnabás csak hosszú, fáradtságos út után tudja meg.
Bux Barnabás Boldizsár számára, aki nem különösebben okos vagy szép, viszont gyönyörű történeteket tud mesélni, valóra válik minden gyermek álma: egy rejtélyes könyv olvasása közben hirtelen átkerül a mesébe, s ő lesz Fantázia birodalmának legfontosabb lakója, megmentője, akinek meséi nyomán új lények és tájak keletkeznek. Barnabás előtt nincs lehetetlen ebben a birodalomban, mert nála van a mindenható medál, az AURIN, s barátja lesz Fantázia legbátrabb vitéze, Atráskó és annak fehér szerencsesárkánya. Amikor azonban Barnabás túlságosan magabiztossá válik, s a medál feliratát, "Tedd azt, amit akarsz" túlságosan saját érdekei szerint kezdi el értelmezni, lassanként rémisztővé válik az addig oly kedves képzeletbeli világ. Barnabásnak sokat kell tanulnia, és sok kalandot kell átvészelnie, hogy megtudja, hogyan lesz a fantázia hőséből a mindennapok hőse, s hogyan válhat története valóban végtelenné.
Bux Barnabás Boldizsár történetét már eddig is világszerte több millió felnőtt és gyermek ismerhette meg, hiszen Michael Ende örökérvényű meseregényét 1979-es megjelenése óta több mint harmincöt nyelvre fordították le, és egy csodálatos filmet is forgattak belőle.

Kami Garcia - Margaret Stohl - Beautiful Creatures - Lenyűgöző teremtmények
Gatlin megyében ritkán érték meglepetések az embert. Legalábbis azt hittem. Kiderült, nagyobbat nem is tévedhettem volna.
Volt egy átok.
Volt egy lány.
És a végén
Ott volt egy sírgödör.
Lena Duchannes-hoz fogható lányt még nem láttak Gatlin városában. A középiskola új diákja mindent megtesz azért, hogy különleges képességeit és a családját sújtó évszázados átkot eltitkolja a városka vaskalapos polgárai és diáktársai előtt. Azonban az elfeledett Dél vadon burjánzó kertjeiben, borongós mocsaraiban és romos temetőiben nincs az a titok, ami örökre titok maradhatna. Ethan Wate számolja a napokat az érettségiig. Azon a napon nem csak a középiskolának, de Gatlinnek is búcsút akar mondani. Hónapok óta egy gyönyörű lány kísért az álmaiban. Amikor Lena beköltözik a város legrégebbi, egyben leghírhedtebb ültetvényére, Ethan megmagyarázhatatlan vonzódást érez iránta. Elszántan kutatni kezdi a kettejük közötti titokzatos kapcsolat eredetét.
Egy városban, ahol ritkán érik meglepetések az embert, egy titok mindent megváltoztathat.

Monsters, demons, angels, vampires, the boogeyman under your bed: I’ve seen it, I’ve hunted it, I’ve killed it. I’m not the only hunter out here, but there aren’t as many as there used to be. Not near as many as there need to be. I’ve learned everything I can about every damned critter that walks, crawls, or flies, and I’m not gonna let that all be for nothing. I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not letting everything I’ve learned disappear. So that’s what you’re holding in your hands—everything I know. Anything that’d be useful for Sam, Dean, and the hunters that come after me.
It’s a guide to hunting...it’s a guide to me.
Neil Gaiman - The Sandman Omnibus 1.
The Sandman is the universally lauded masterwork following Morpheus, Lord of the Dreaming--a vast hallucinatory landscape housing all the dreams of any and everyone who's ever existed. Regardless of cultures or historical eras, all dreamers visit Morpheus' realm--be they gods, demons, muses, mythical creatures, or simply humans who teach Morpheus some surprising lessons.
Upon his escape from an embarrassing captivity at the hands of a mere mortal, Morpheus finds himself at a crossroads, forced to deal with the enormous changes within both himself and his realm. His journey to find his place in a world that's drastically changed takes him through mythical worlds to retrieve his old heirlooms, the back roads of America for a twisted reunion, and even Hell itself--to receive the dubious honor of picking the next Devil. But he'll learn his greatest lessons at the hands of his own family, the Endless, who--like him--are walking embodiments of the most influential aspects of existence.
This massive hardcover tome, over 1000 pages, collects the first 37 issues of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking series!

Christopher Paolini - Brisingr
Csak alig néhány hónapja, hogy Eragon kiejtette a "brisingr" szót, amely az ősi nyelven azt jelenti, tűz. Azóta nemcsak azt tanulta meg, hogy szavak segítségével varázslatot alkosson, hanem számtalan próbával is szembe kellett néznie. A Birodalom ellen vívott ádáz és véres csatában az Égő Mezőkön, ahol Murtaghgal és Tövissel is meg kellett küzdenie, sárkányával, Saphirával együtt kis híján odavesztek. Ám a kalandoknak koránt sincs vége - és Eragont számtalan ígéret köti, amelyeknek talán nem is tud eleget tenni.
Eragon megígérte unokatestvérének, Rorannak, hogy segít kiszabadítani Katrinát Galbatorix fogságából. Roran, aki elmenekítette a falubelieket Carvahallból a Birodalom pribékjei elől, időközben rettenthetetlen harcossá vált, kiérdemelve a Vastörő melléknevet a vardenek között, akik szintén Eragonban bíznak - szükségük van erejére és tehetségére, hisz ő az utolsó szabad Sárkánylovas, akinek esélye lehet a félelmetes, velejéig gonosz, hihetetlen mágikus erővel bíró Galbatorix ellen. Eragont szorítja az idő és a rengeteg feladat: még annyi mindent kell megtanulnia a mágiából, meg kell győznie a törpéket, hogy álljanak Nasuada királynő és a vardenek mellé, el kell látogatnia Ellesmérába a tündékhez...
Vajon képes lesz-e ez az egyszerű parasztfiú arra, hogy egyesítse a lázadó erőket, és megdöntse a zsarnok király uralmát?
Hogy hogyan végződik a Birodalom és alattvalói, valamint a törpék, tündék, sárkányok, mágusok sorsa, azt _Az örökség_ tetralógia negyedik kötetéből tudja majd meg a Kedves Olvasó.
Neil Gaiman - The Ocean at the End of the Lane
The Ocean At The End of the Lane is a novel about memory and magic and survival, about the power of stories and the darkness inside each of us.
It began for our narrator forty years ago when he was seven: the lodger stole the family's car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and a menace unleashed -- within his family, and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it.
His only defense is three women, on a ramshackle farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac -- as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.
Suzanne Collins - Az éhezők viadala
A győztes jutalma hírnév. A vesztes büntetése halál.
A közeljövő egy sötét világában tizenkét fiú és tizenkét lány küzd egymással egy élő televíziós show-ban, aminek a címe Az éhezők viadala. Egyetlen szabály van: ölj vagy megölnek.
Amikor a tizenhat éves Katniss Everdeen a húgát mentve önként jelentkezik, hogy részt vegyen a viadalon, az felér egy halálos ítélettel. De Katniss már nem fél a haláltól. A túlélés a vérében van.
George R. R. Martin - A Game of Thrones
In a world where the approaching winter will last four decades, kings and queens, knights and renegades struggle for control of a throne. Some fight with sword and mace, others with magic and poison. Beyond the Wall to the north, meanwhile, the Others are preparing their army of the dead to march south as the warmth of summer drains from the land. After more than a decade devoted primarily to TV and screen work, Martin (The Armageddon Rag, 1983) makes a triumphant return to high fantasy with this extraordinarily rich new novel, the first of a trilogy. Although conventional in form, the book stands out from similar work by Eddings, Brooks and others by virtue of its superbly developed characters, accomplished prose and sheer bloody-mindedness. Although the romance of chivalry is central to the culture of the Seven Kingdoms, and tournaments, derring-do and handsome knights abound, these trappings merely give cover to dangerous men and women who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. When Lord Stark of Winterfell, an honest man, comes south to act as the King's chief councilor, no amount of heroism or good intentions can keep the realm under control. It is fascinating to watch Martin's characters mature and grow, particularly Stark's children, who stand at the center of the book. Martin's trophy case is already stuffed with major prizes, including Hugos, Nebulas, Locus Awards and a Bram Stoker. He's probably going to have to add another shelf, at least. Major ad/promo.
Marta Acosta - The She-Hulk Diaries
JANUARY 1
CURRENT STATUS: No job, no boyfriend, no permanent place to live, no car, and most of my clothes are held together with staples and duct tape. Bank account almost wiped out. Many of my former associates have expressed a desire that I never darken their doorways again for legal and financial reasons.
She-Hulk got us got us kicked out of the Avengers Mansion. People keep posting videos online of her New Year's Eve shenanigans: twirling flaming telephone poles in Times Square, climbing the Empire State Building while dangling Anderson Cooper, dancing wildly at parties, and commandeering a motorcycle cop's ride to do wheelies across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Saying there are two sides to Jennifer Walters's personality is an understatement. When she hasn't morphed into a 650-pound, crime-fighting, hard-partying superhero, she's a single lawyer trying to get her act together. Hilarious and action-packed, The She-Hulk Diaries tells her story, as she juggles looking for Mr. Right and climbing the corporate ladder by day with battling villains and saving the world by night. Maybe she'll finally take on a case that will define her career. Maybe she won't meet one Mr. Right, but two, and she'll have to choose. Maybe bad guys will stop trying to destroy the planet so she can read her Perez Hilton in peace.

Neil Gaiman - Stardust
In the sleepy English countryside of decades past, there is a town that has stood on a jut of granite for six hundred years. And immediately to the east stands a high stone wall, for which the village is named. Here in the town of Wall, Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester. One crisp October night, as they watch, a star falls from the sky, and Victoria promises to marry Tristran if he'll retrieve that star and bring it back for her. It is this promise that sends Tristran through the only gap in the wall, across the meadow, and into the most unforgettable adventure of his life.
