После смерти Путина в Русской Православной Церкви забродило причастие. Бог возвращается в мир, чтобы объединить авраамические религии, и вселяется в тело патриарха Кирилла. Мир неизбежно утопает в Темном вине и мраке грядущего Нового средневековья. Ничего не подозревая, подпольный философ-порнозвезда Джоан Майклз лелеет мечты об уничтожении Царства Пениса через рождение Агендерного младенца, но вместо этого становится Козлом отпущения в показательном акте наказания человечества. Тем временем единственный человек, способный противостоять гневу Демиурга, бывший полицейский Иисус Селиванов, скорбит о том, что никто не хочет причащаться его Плоти и Крови.

[Spanish] - El curioso caso de Benjamin Button

Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Francis Scott Fitzgerald nos narra a través de este inteligente relato la historia de un bebé llamado Benjamin Button que nace con la apariencia de un anciano de 70 años y que progresivamente según va cumpliendo años irá rejuveneciendo lentamente. Su reloj biológico es diferente, vivirá todas las emociones, intereses y ambiciones en un mundo que gira totalmente contrario a él, de modo que su relación con ese mundo tendrá una perspectiva insólita e inquietante. “La vitalidad se revela no solamente en la capacidad de persistir sino en la de volver a empezar”.

[French] - Novice

'Pendant que Gabrielle assemble des bûches dans le foyer et démarre le feu du premier coup, le groupe se passe un gros sac de guimauves, et chacun des participants s’en enfourne une ou deux dans la bouche. Mathieu les regarde sans rien dire, à la lueur de quelques lanternes, et trouve leur ignorance stupéfiante. Voyons donc, crisse. Ces gens-là doivent bien savoir que les guimauves se mangent après les avoir grillées au-dessus des flammes ? Il semble que non.' Quand onze personnes s'inscrivent dans un camp de débranchement, elles sont loin de réaliser l’ampleur du deuil auquel elles devront faire face. Rien ne les a préparées au régime de sevrage aux appareils électroniques qu’elles devront suivre durant une semaine. Face à un environnement hostile et un tueur anonyme, trouveront-elles la débrouillardise nécessaire pour survivre? Avec Novice, Stéphane Dompierre détourne les codes du cinéma d’horreur pour produire une comédie aussi finement articulée qu’impitoyable envers notre époque.'

With the plains to their backs, Jace Stanford and crew are just steps from their destination: the Stronghold of Boulder, CO. All they have to do is battle the mega-powerful, corporate/political/military entity that is the Consortium, survive the brainwashed killing machines that call themselves the Sisters, and deal with a mad scientist hell bent on making life really, really hard for everyone because he’s just a f*ing jerk. Not a problem! If anyone can get his friends and family through a nightmare like this, it’s Jace Stanford! What’s that? There’s a horde of zombies that’s close to half a million strong coming for them all? Okay, everyone’s screwed… It is Z-Burbia after all! Reviews- “It's the last push to reach safety for Long Pork and his very extended family. Lots of fighting, swearing, laughs and tears as Jace carries on with his bumbling, brilliant plans, stumpageddon and his 'thoughts out loud'. There is continuous action, with barely a moment to catch your breath throughout the whole book.” -PJ Lea, 5-star Goodreads review “It's hard to keep coming up with unique situations and solutions to those situations but Jake bible does it with a F*ck ton of humor and violence. I like the characters, scratch that, I love the characters. I recommend it for the horror/humor crowd.” -Stephanie H, 5-star Goodreads review Other books by Jake Bible: By Genre: Post-Apocalyptic- The Z-Burbia Series Dead Team Alpha Series Dead Mech/The Apex Trilogy EverRealm Fighting Iron Series The AntiBio Series The Kaiju Winter Series Zombies!- The Z-Burbia Series Dead Team Alpha Series Dead Mech/The Apex Trilogy EverRealm Horror- The Z-Burbia Series Blood Cruise Stone Cold Bastards

Z-Burbia 2: Parkway To Hell: A Post Apocalyptic Zombie Adventure Novel

With Whispering Pines refusing to give up and die, Jace “Long Pork” Stanford has nothing better to do than find out who the heavily-armed newcomers in town are. Well, while he’s not busy dealing with the ever present Z hordes. Or running for his life from paramilitary mercenaries. Or possibly blowing up more of the zombie-infested city because he can’t help pressing buttons. Buttons are meant to be pressed, even in the apocalypse, right? Looks like it’s just another day in Z-Burbia! Reviews- “Loved this book and loved the series so far. Not sure what took me so long to discover it as I am a big zombiephile. This book has all the elements I love in a story, very character driven, with soldiers, strong women, sassy teens, and some smart ass men.” -Michele, 5-star Goodreads review “Jace and his crew are back in Book 2 and it is just as hilarious as the first. I find that sometimes authors hit a home run with their first books but never quite live up to the same standard with each additional book. Not so with Jake Bible. It is rare that I read a book that makes me laugh out loud.” -Veronica, 5-star Goodreads review A few other books by Jake Bible: By Genre: Thriller/Action/Adventure- Max Rage: Intergalactic Badass!

Yours In Wellness, Krystal Heeling: Letters From the Wellness Industry

Krystal Heeling is the CEO of Verdant Corpora, a boutique wellness brand and, when she writes an email to her brand ambassadors, she doesn’t pull her punches. “If I catch any of you appealing to the broke and not the woke, you will no longer represent our brand,” she writes in one of her trademark missives. Holding tight to the reigns of the power Krystal wields in the world of supplements, detoxes and New Age therapies, she crisply and methodically instructs her Wellness Ambassadors on the dos and (many) don’ts of the luxurious wellness industry. In a series of letters, Krystal responds to her team’s legitimate concerns, such as questionable supplement ingredients and lack of scientific evidence for their product claims, while always pointing out why Verdant Corpora is far more ethical than Big Pharma, an industry of profit hounds and data manipulators. Heeling’s underlings fall like flies as they unwittingly commit one solecism after another, falling short of the Paltrowian ideals to which Heeling so ardently aspires; principles that she herself cannot consistently achieve. Yours in Wellness, Dr. Stair’s second book, is a short, incisive, humorous take on the wellness industry that you will be sure to enjoy while sipping an $11 acai-wheatgrass kombucha. As we say in the land of coffee enemas, “Bottoms Up!” Erin Stair, MD, MPH, is the founder of bloomingwellness.com, creator of ZENBands, host of the Causes or Cures podcast and author of Manic Kingdom: A True Story of Breakdown and Breakthrough. She currently lives in New York City.

Without Expiration: A Personal Anthology

“Are we bad people who sometimes do good things, or good people who do bad things?” As society struggles to reconcile the uncovering of past wrongs with simple human frailty, punishment and personal redemption, the stories in Without Expiration challenge us to consider the humanity of characters who are flawed and heartbroken and who do and suffer terrible things. Works from Without Expiration have been published in some of America’s best short fiction journals. From the tale of a devastated father hunting his daughter’s killer to that of a couple forced to confront the disintegration of their marriage anew each time the wife awakes from a persistent vegetative state, the short fictions in this anthology seek to obliterate any sense of righteous indignation and to question how any of us can make it unscathed through a life where our every mistake is without expiration. Named one of Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2020 and a finalist for the 2020 Eric Hoffer Award. “Flawed, despondent characters show a surprising wit and humanity […] Hincy’s taut prose makes the entire collection a quick read but still fills the stories with indelible passages. […] The book strikes a chord with characters whose defects make them simultaneously believable and with descriptions of moments involving a loved one’s death, either its prolonged aftermath or its inevitability. […] Cynicism and cheekiness abound in brief but memorable stories.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Deft, poignant, and unflinching, this collection takes the short story form and turns it inside-out like yesterday's lost sock. Not to be missed.” — Charles Hood, winner of the Kenneth Patchen Prize for Experimental Fiction

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom. But how do you fight a happy-ever-after, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a power-hungry Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse? It's hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it...

Witches Abroad

Things have to come to an end, see. That's how it works when you turn the world into stories. You should never have done that. You shouldn't treat people like they was characters, like they was things. But if you do, then you've got to know where the story ends.' That's the problem when you let real life get in the way of a good story. You shouldn't let it happen. Especially when a good story involves three witches, including a fairy godmother, travelling to a faraway land to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince. It looks as though a happy ending may be averted before catastrophe strikes. But unfortunately the forces of good are up against a Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse...
