"The sci-fi horror manga classic returns, in a fully-colorized, premium-quality hardcover for the first time! If you've never read the story of Shinichi and the polite and murderous alien infesting his right arm-or even if you already own the series-there's never been a better way to collect it. They arrive in silence, out of dark skies. They infest human hosts and consume them. And they are everywhere. They are Parasites: alien creatures who must invade and take control of human hosts to survive. Once they have infected their victims, they can twist their hosts's bodies into any abominable shapes they choose: craniums splitting to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purposes behind ordinary human faces. No one knows their secret, except an ordinary high school student. Shinichi managed to stop the infestation of his body by an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come? For more than 30 years, new generations of readers have been riveted to this unlikely buddy story that unfolds amid a world of monstrosities that never stay hidden for long. Since its first release, in 1988, Parasyte has inspired live-action films, spinoffs, and, in 2015, a global hit anime series. The Full Color Collection presents Hitoshi Iwaaki's original manga in hardcover for the first time, with each page carefully colorized and a revised translation for 2022. There's never been a better time to stay up late and get your hand on Parasyte!"--Publisher.

Den unge sagfører Jonathan Harker ankommer til grev Draculas borg i Transsylvanien. Hans opgave er at assistere greven med opkøb af en ejendom i London. Den dystre stemning, der hviler over borgen, kryber ind under huden på Jonathan, og snart indser han, at han holdes fanget, og at greven - denne ældre sortklædte mand, som afskyr spejle og sollys - i virkeligheden er en blodtørstig vampyr. Hvad værre er; Jonathan har selv givet dette sjæleløse uhyre de oplysninger og kontakter, der er nødvendige for, at Dracula kan nå til England og sprede rædsel og død.

SØD OG BLØD er en smuk udført og original graphic novel. Et feministisk gys om venskab og girlpower.NOURA arbejder i sin bror ALIs kiosk. Hun har en særlig evne til at blande slikposer, der passer lige netop til modtagerens personlighed. Men slikblandingstalentet får fatale følger, for en ganske særlig blanding har afstedkommet en mutation, et monster, som holder til i butikkens baglokale, og som har en forkærlighed for at æde mænd. Har monsteret noget gøre med, at NOURAS nye kæreste JACK er forsvundet?SØD OG BLØD er gennemillustreret af Kathrina Skarðsá og skrevet af den prisnominerede forfatter Zakiya Ajmi, der tidligere har udgivet den anmelderroste ungdomsroman VULKAN, som er nomineret til Nordisk Råds børne- og ungdomslitteraturpris samt shortlistet til Kulturministeriets Forfatterpris for børne- og ungdomsbøger 2021.Idéen til historien om Noura og monsteret udsprang af min fascination af bland-selv-slik-butikker. Jeg har altid været betaget af deres særlige slaraffenlands-stemning, men jeg synes også at der er noget lidt uhyggeligt ved konceptet – noget falskt og grådigt. Jeg begyndte at forestille mig en trist pige, som stod og passede en tom bland-selv-slik-butik, og langsomt opstod historien om Noura. Den handler både om et muteret e-nummer-monster, men det er også en underlig coming of age-historie om at tage forbudte smagsprøver, at begå store fejl og forsøge at reparere dem igen.Zakiya AjmiVULKAN:ZAKIYA AJMI er leverandør af en kras socialrealisme, som jeg som læser både bliver klogere og rørt af. Det er en bog, der vil vældig meget, og som lykkes med det!Politiken♥♥♥♥♥Sammensat og ambitiøsWeekendavisenEn velskrevet roman, som kommer flot omkring de problematikker, der kan være med venskaber, spirende kærlighedsliv og forældre, som ikke lever op til deres ansvar. En troværdig historie skrevet i et letlæseligt dagligdags sprog med korte overskuelige kapitler. En nærværende ungdomsroman med noget på hjertet..Lektørudtalelsen

"Every village has its stories - those of the living - and those of the dead." After the sudden death of his twin sister, 14 year old James Reynolds becomes obsessed with her tale of a black hound, a folkloric creature that is regarded as a portent of death.

Set in the South Downs of England, a place that has been home to Celts, Romans, and Vikings, James's story is interwoven with tales from his village that also blur the line between the living and the dead.

The most acclaimed writer in comics history, Alan Moore, joins his late mentor Steve Moore (no relation) for one last graphic grimoire: a sprawling and stunning introduction to magic in all its timeless forms, brought to life by six wondrous and whimsical artists.Splendid news for enquiring minds, and guaranteed salvation for humanity! Messrs. Steve and Alan Moore, proprietors of the celebrated Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels (sorcery by appointment since circa 150 AD), have produced a clear and practical grimoire of the occult sciences that offers endless necromantic fun for all the family. Exquisitely illuminated by a host of adepts including Kevin O’Neill, John Coulthart, Steve Parkhouse, Rick Veitch, Melinda Gebbie, and Ben Wickey, this marvellous and unprecedented tome promises to provide all that the reader could conceivably need in order to commence a fulfilling new career as a diabolist.Its contents include profusely illustrated instructional essays upon this ancient sect’s theories of magic, notably the key dissertation “Adventures in Thinking,” which gives reliable advice as to how entry into the world of magic may be readily achieved. Further to this, a number of “Rainy Day” activity pages present lively and entertaining things to do once the magical state has been attained, including such popular pastimes as divination, etheric travel, and the conjuring of a colourful multitude of spirits, deities, dead people, and infernal entities from the pit, all of whom are sure to become your new best friends.Also contained within this extravagant compendium of thaumaturgic lore is a history of magic from the last ice age to the present day, told in a series of easy-to-absorb pictorial biographies of fifty great enchanters and complemented by a variety of picture stories depicting events ranging from the Palaeolithic origins of art, magic, language, and consciousness to the rib-tickling comedy exploits of Moon and Serpent founder Alexander the False Prophet (“He’s fun, he’s fake, he’s got a talking snake!”).In addition to these manifold delights, the adventurous reader will also discover a series of helpful travel guides to mind-wrenching alien dimensions that are within comfortable walking distance, as well as profiles of the many quaint local inhabitants that one might bump into at these exotic resorts. A full range of entertainments will be provided, encompassing such diverse novelties and pursuits as a lavishly decorated, decadent pulp tale of occult adventure recounted in the serial form. Completing this almost-unimaginable treasure trove is a lengthy thesis revealing the ultimate meaning of both the Moon and the Serpent in a manner that makes transparent the much-obscured secret of magic, happiness, sex, creativity, and the known Universe, while at the same time explaining why these lunar and ophidian symbols feature so prominently in the order’s peculiar name. (Manufacturer’s disclaimer: This edition does not, however, reveal why the titular cabal of magicians consider themselves to be either grand or Egyptian. Let the buyer beware.)A colossal and audacious publishing triumph of three hundred and fifty-two pages, beautifully produced in the finest tradition of educational literature for young people, The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic will transform your lives, your reality, and any spare lead that you happen to have lying around into the purest and most radiant gold.Book design by John Coulthart.

Scott Pilgrim and Wednesday combine into a teenaged Fleabag in DYING INSIDE, a supernatural, emo-fantasy thriller from the minds of FALL OUT BOY’s Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein, and Lisa Sterle!Immortality is entirely overrated. From Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein (Everything’s Fine), and Lisa Sterle (The Modern Witch Tarot, Witchblood) comes the graphic novel about a chronically depressed girl who’s tired of fighting for her…death. Today is Ash’s big finale. And by finale, of course, she means exiting the stage permanently. Ash is a sixteen-year-old girl with more angst than Ian Curtis and Elliott Smith combined (her two idols). She’s apathetic and therefore believes death is the easiest route to relief. But nothing is more embarrassing than a lame death. Unfortunately, her meticulous plans — which include the perfect outfit, soundtrack, and method — are all ruined when the beautiful knife she buys off a webstore turns out to be charmed with a protection spell. Now, Ash has to track down the witch who turned her clocking out attempt into the worst gift imaginable: immortality. Turns out, the witch responsible is another sixteen-year-old-girl named (get this) Liv. The two vow to undo the charm together and fight for Ash’s death…even as things get increasingly entangled with a strange new antidepressant called Somnia and her mom’s gross boyfriend, Greg.
