Dámsky gambit je literárnou predlohou jedného z najúspešnejších seriálov posledných rokov spoločnosti Netflix. Román o živote fiktívnej nesmierne talentovanej mladej šachistky nás zavedie do päťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia. Osemročná sirota Beth Harmonová je mĺkve nenápadné dievča, ktoré z letargie prebudí až jej prvá šachová partia. Už ako šestnásťročná súperí so špičkou a stáva sa z nej najlepšia americká šachistka. Čím vyššie sa však dostáva, tým osamelejšia je. Únik hľadá v alkohole a tabletkách na upokojenie. Veľmi rýchlo zisťuje, že musí čeliť nielen súperom, ale aj svojim démonom.

The prequel to Dracula , inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a supernatural thriller that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's--and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them. It is 1868, and a twenty-one-year-old Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face an indescribable evil. Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here.... A sickly child, Bram spent his early days bedridden in his parents' Dublin home, tended to by his caretaker, a young woman named Ellen Crone. When a string of strange deaths occur in a nearby town, Bram and his sister Matilda detect a pattern of bizarre behavior by Ellen--a mystery that deepens chillingly until Ellen vanishes suddenly from their lives. Years later, Matilda returns from studying in Paris to tell Bram the news that she has seen Ellen--and that the nightmare they've thought long ended is only beginning.
