Explore a story told across the millennia that delves deep into a pair of fascinating necron characters, their relationship and their plans for the galaxy.Before the being called the Emperor revealed Himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence.Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts – and people – of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future. But when an artefact emerges that may hold the key to the necrons’ next evolution, these two obsessives enter a multi-millennia game of cat and mouse that ends civilisations, reshapes timelines, and changes both forever. As riddles unwind and ancient secrets are revealed, the question remains: will their feud save the necron race or destroy it?

"En kultklassiker"- Weekendavisen"En fantastisk udgivelse. Og så stemningsfuldt illustreret"- Troldspejlet"Manden der tænkte ting er en mareridtsagtig dobbeltgængerfortælling i bedste gotiske stil med masser af uhygge og en god portion humor oveni. Den hører hjemme i din bogreol ved siden af klassikere som Stevensons Den ejendommelige sag om Dr. Jekyll og Mr. Hyde og Dostojevskijs Dobbeltgængeren. Bogen har i øvrigt et virkelig flot design og er forsynet med et velskrevet efterord af Felix Rothstein, der dykker ned i dobbeltgængerlitteraturen og introducerer læseren for den ellers så oversete Valdemar Holst. En virkelig vellykket udgivelse!"- Litteratursiden"Romanen er ren verdensklasse. Hvem skulle tro, at denne fascinerende dobbeltgænger-gyser blev skrevet af en tandlæge fra Istedgade?"- Bogstavssamleren."Det er noget af en gyser, der er Edgar Allan Poe værdig"- BogrummetManden der tænkte tingDa den excentriske kemiker Boutard bliver indlagt på et psykiatrisk hospital, er han blot endnu en patient for den respekterede læge Francis. Men en nat forsvinder Boutard fra sin celle uden tegn på flugt, og Francis indhylles i en tobakståge af mysterier, der sender ham ud i en deroute. Francis er udspændt i et limbo mellem uvirkeligheder, som kun kan undslippes ved at indgå en pagt med Djævelens ypperstepræst.Selv de mest elementære spørgsmål virker umulige at finde svar på. For er man virkelig et menneske, hvis ingen tror på det?Valdemar Holst (1888-1952) ernærede sig som tandlæge på Istedgade, når han ikke forfattede surrealistiske mørkefortællinger om de mest magtfulde afkroge af den menneskelige sind.Bogen kommer i et lækkert prisvindende design og med efterord af journalist og pulp-aficionado Felix Rothstein.Manden der tænkte ting er første udgivelse i Baggaardsbaroners klassikerserie De Kælderkolde.

Det er næsten umuligt at danne et overblik over Dickens samlede værkproduktion. Blandt andet fordi mange af historierne findes i utallige, reviderede genoptryk, men her foreligger et udvalg af de bedste og mest repræsentative noveller fra Dickens’ forfatterskab.Charles Dickens’ episke romanværker er for længst kanoniserede. Bøger som ‘David Copperfield’, ‘To byer’ og ‘Store forventninger’ har vundet udbredelse verden over. Forlaget Klim har tidligere udgivet danske udgaver af ‘Et juleeventyr’ og ‘Oliver Twist’.I denne samling af spøgelseshistorier viser Dickens en for de fleste uopdaget side af sit forfatterskab. Det er til tider uhyggeligt, men hele tiden underligt relevant for i dag.
