      Vonku niečo je... Je to desivé a vražedné. Nikto nevie, čo to je, ale ak sa na to človek len raz pozrie, neznáma sila ho prinúti k brutálnemu násiliu. Odkiaľ to prišlo? Ako to zahnať? Päť rokov po tom, ako sa to začalo, zostáva nažive len kde-tu hŕstka ľudí. Malorie a jejdve malé deti bývajú v opustenom dome pri rieke a ona sníva, že s nimi utečie na miesto, kde nájdu bezpečie. Ale toho úteku sa bojí: bude to tridsaťkilometrová plavba po rieke v člne so zaviazanými očami. Jediné zlé rozhodnutie môže zahubiť ju aj deti. A navyše ich niekto sleduje. Je to človek, zviera alebo monštrum? Malorie, obklopená tmou a známymi aj neznámymi zvukmi, sa vydáva na mučivú odyseu – do neznáma, do minulosti, do spomienok na ľudí, ktorí boli jej záchrancami. Ohromujúci debutový román Josha Malermana zobrazuje svet, v akom by ste nechceli žiť, ale prečítate si o ňom so zatajeným dychom.

    • In the old world there were many rules. In the new world there is only one that matters: don't open your eyes. In the seventeen years since the 'creatures' appeared, many people have broken that rule. Many have looked. Many have lost their minds, their lives, their loved ones. In that time, Malorie has raised her two children - Olympia and Tom - on the run or in hiding. Now nearly teenagers, survival is no longer enough. They want freedom. When a census-taker stops by their refuge, he is not welcome. But he leaves a list of names - of survivors building a future beyond the darkness - and on that list are two names Malorie knows. Two names for whom she'll break every rule, and take her children across the wilderness, in the hope of becoming a family again...

      "Josh Malerman is a master at unsettling you-and keeping you off-balance until the last page is turned."-Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Blackbirds J is a student at a school deep in a forest far away from the rest of the world. J is one of only twenty-six students, all of whom think of the school's enigmatic founder as their father. J's peers are the only family he has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know-and all they are allowed to know. But J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he's beginning to ask questions. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them? Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J's, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other.
