Graphic novels og tegneserier: gysere

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

Erica Slaughter strikes out on her own in the bestselling, award-winning series!

Embraced by an almost uncanny calm, Silent Lake lies nestled deep into the heart of an untamed environment, shrouded by dense canopies of ancient trees. Hidden away in a mysterious cove, this body of water begs the courageous and inquisitive to venture out and discover its secrets. In amazement and fear coexist as the sunbeams through the dense vegetation, painting the lake's surface with mottled shadows. Silent Lake is more than simply a physical location; it is an enigmatic mystery that has fascinated explorers who have dared to explore its depths. Shroud of Quiet: A Harmonious Orchestration of NatureNot because there are no sounds at all, but because the unusual, almost planned stillness that surrounds the lake makes it an appropriate name. The typical noises of nature, such as animals, leaves rustling, and the faraway buzz of city life, appear to diminish as one gets closer to the lake. The villagers have created numerous legends about the mysterious atmosphere that is said to surround Silent Lake, which they believe is responsible for its unearthly quiet. Many hypotheses have been advanced to explain this muteness. The unusual terrain may constitute a natural sound barrier, according to some, while other people think that mysterious, old energies are at work, causing the air to be filled with a sense of awe. The eerie vibe of Silent Lake is greatly enhanced by the complete absence of sound, whatever that may be.
