"It's 2001, and the WyldBoyZ are the world's hottest boy band, and definitely the world's only genetically engineered human-animal hybrid vocal group. When their producer, Dr. M, is found murdered in his hotel room, the 'boyz' become the prime suspects. Was it Bobby the ocelot (the cute one), Matt the megabat (the funny one), Tim the pangolin (the shy one), Devin the bonobo (the romantic one), or Tusk the elephant (the smart one)? Las Vegas Detective Luce Delgado has only twenty-four hours to solve a case that goes all the way back to the secret science barge where the WyldBoyZ' journey first began--a place they used to call home."--Provided by publisher

ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • The dark, gripping tale of a 1930’s family in the remote hills of the Smoky Mountains, their secret religion, and the daughter who turns her back on their mysterious god—from the acclaimed author of Spoonbenders. “Gods and moonshine in the Great Depression, written with a tenderness and brutality … this is as good as novels get.” —Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians In 1933, nine-year-old Stella is left in the care of her grandmother, Motty, in the backwoods of Tennessee. The mountains are home to dangerous secrets, and soon after she arrives, Stella wanders into a dark cavern where she encounters the family's personal god, an entity known as the Ghostdaddy. Years later, after a tragic incident that caused her to flee, Stella—now a professional bootlegger—returns for Motty's funeral, and to check on the mysterious ten-year-old girl named Sunny that Motty adopted. Sunny appears innocent enough, but she is more powerful than Stella could imagine—and she’s a direct link to Stella's buried past and her family's destructive faith. Haunting and wholly engrossing, summoning mesmerizing voices and giving shape to the dark, Revelator is a southern gothic tale for the ages.

1300 Jahre vor Colonel George Taylors Ankunft auf dem Planeten der Affen haben die Primaten die Hoheit über die Menschen erlangt, während beide Zivilisationen nebeneinander existieren, jedoch die Harmonie täglich auf dem Prüfstand steht. An der Oberfläche gibt es immer mehr Unstimmigkeiten, während der humanoide Untergrund sich zum Widerstand gegen die Affenherrschaft organisiert. Eine mysteriöse Sekte führt diese Bewegung an und sorgt für Spannungen zwischen der hochschwangeren Sally, „Bürgermeisterin“ des Südteils von Mak und Anführerin der Menschen, und der Affenmatriarchin Stimme Alaya, die einst Adoptivgeschwister waren. Als eine wichtige öffentliche Figur einem geheimnisvollen Attentäter zum Opfer fällt, eskaliert die Situation. Daryl Gregorys Arbeit umfasst die 16 Ausgaben der monatlichen Heftserie sowie vier One-Shots, die nun in diesem limitierten Sammelband vereint sind. Die PLANET DER AFFEN-Saga zählt zu den langlebigsten SciFi-Reihen der Film- und TV-Geschichte, und der Konflikt zwischen Menschen und Affen ist seit dem ersten Filmklassiker von 1968 ein bekanntes Phänomen der Popkultur. Der Comicband spielt zwischen den aktuellen und alten Filmen und führt zahlreiche neue Charaktere ein, die die von Pierre Boulle erdachte Welt erweitern.

It begins in Toronto, in the years after the smart drug revolution. Any high school student with a chemjet and internet connection can download recipes and print drugs, or invent them. A seventeen-year-old street girl finds God through a new brain-altering drug called Numinous, used as a sacrament by a new Church that preys on the underclass. But she is arrested and put into detention, and without the drug, commits suicide. Lyda Rose, another patient in that detention facility, has a dark secret: she was one of the original scientists who developed the drug. With the help of an ex-government agent and an imaginary, drug-induced doctor, Lyda sets out to find the other three survivors of the five who made the Numinous in a quest to set things right. A mind-bending and violent chase across Canada and the US, Daryl Gregory's Afterparty is a last chance to save civilization, or die trying.

Je to náš svět – nebo není? Neliší se skoro ničím, nic v něm nechybí... Spíš něco přebývá: množství démonů, kteří mají ve zvyku posednout vybranou oběť, v jejím těle si odehrát oblíbenou scénku (v mnoha případech končící něčí smrtí), a tiše se vytratit. Do jiného hostitele. Případů posednutí je už tolik, že se jimi musí vážně zabývat církve i vědci. Pořádají se konference, fanoušci démonů mají své cony, ani jeden názor se nepodobá druhému...
