      Keby Edgar Allan Poe za celý svoj život nenapísal nič iné, iba tieto tri poviedky s postavou Auguste C. Dupina, aj tak by sa navždy zapísal do histórie svetovej literatúry. Stvoril v nich totiž prvého moderného literárneho detektíva a to ešte prv, ako slovo detektív začalo existovať. Parížsky gentleman, excentrický rytier Dupin je brilantnýlogik, básnik, metafyzik a romantik. Deduktívne schopnosti, ktoré využíva na riešenie zločinov, sa vymykajú obvyklému a pôsobia priam ako čosi nadprirodzené. Nič však nie je vzdialenejšie pravde. Záhadná, zdanlivo nemožná vražda v zamknutej miestnosti, mŕtva žena v rieke či prípad vydierača a ukradnutého listu predstavujú tri bravúrne ukážky súboja ľudského intelektu s tajomnom. Dupin nám dovoľuje sledovať jeho dedukcie od začiatku až do konca, kde nás necháva žasnúť nad geniálnou jednoduchosťou riešenia. Dupin – Prvý detektív je pre milovníkov klasických detektívnych príbehov príležitosť oboznámiť sa so základmi žánru, na ktorých stavali a dodnes stavajú celé plejády detektívov ako Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot a mnohí iní.

      Werewolf: The Apocalypse is about anger over the loss of what the shapeshifting Garou hold dearest: Gaia, the Earth itself. Corruption from without and within has caused the destruction not only of the Garou's environment, but also of their families, friends and culture, which extends in an unbroken line to the very dawn of life. No matter how righteously the Garou hold themselves, no matter how they prey on their destroyers, the corruption spreads. Now the time for reconciliation is past. This grave insult against Gaia can end in only one way: blood, betrayal... and rage. This Changing Breed Book delves into the mysteries of the most enigmatic and reclusive shapeshifters of all -- the deadly wereserpents.
