Synopsis Ashen Sky by :
Barry Moser's extraordinarily detailed and evocative relief engravings decorate this translation of Pliny the Younger's two famous letters to Tacitus about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 and the death of his uncle, Pliny the Elder. Printed in black and white, the engravings are works of art that illustrate various descriptions in the letters. The text includes a brief description of the eruption of the volcano, concise biographies of Tacitus and of both Plinys, and a summary of how the texts of the two letters have survived until today.

Synopsis An Ashen Sky by : Alexes Razevich
I see your future, and I see my own. My future is terrifying. Ten years ago, on my twenty-first birthday, I discovered the bloodied body of my uncle who'd raised me. Rumor said a secret society known as The Whispers had tortured and killed him when he wouldn't turn over a magical pendant. Rumor said his niece-me-who'd disappeared right after, had the stone and chain. A series of small towns sheltered me before I landed in the beach city I've called home for seven years, eking out an anonymous living as a Tarot card reader. The cards help focus my far-sight. If you sit at my table, I will see your true future. I see my own, too. But my far-sight didn't warn me my apartment would be set on a fire or that a tiny blue dragon would save me from the flames. I certainly wasn't expecting Aiden Maddox-a too-good-looking trainer and bodyguard whom the dragon insists on hiring-or what his touch does to me. Now The Whispers are closing in. Again. An Ashen Sky features magic, romance, and a grumpy dragon with a deep and abiding love of bacon.

Synopsis Killer Delivery by : Calum France
On a snow-covered Halloween night in the town of Aberlea, Jonathan Harker, a reclusive and wildly successful novelist, lives in an eerie Victorian mansion where the eyes in the paintings seem to watch your every move. Known for his chilling horror novels, Jonathan hides more than just dark tales within the walls of his grand but decaying home — there’s a secret buried in these walls that he’s desperate to keep hidden. Karlee Monroe, filling in for the local takeaway driver, arrives at Harker's mansion with a tale of a broken-down car. But nothing about her arrival is accidental. A devoted fan of Jonathan's work, Karlee has meticulously planned her visit, bringing with her ulterior motives and a hidden agenda. The mansion, with all its secrets, is her true destination, but Karlee isn’t the only one with plans for the night. As Jonathan and Karlee engage in a tense and uneasy dance of deception, the mansion’s doors are forced open by an even more dangerous threat. A group of three strangers invades the home, turning the night into a living nightmare. When the lights go out, the real horror begins.

Synopsis The Road by : Joe Penhall
"You think I come from another world, don't you? Filled with all these strange things you've never seen...Well I do, I guess." Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 2006. Released shortly after his No Country for Old Men was turned into an Oscar-winning film, The Road's cinema version of the novel is directed by John Hillcoat, stars Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron and is an official selection for the 66th Venice Film Festival 2009. Joe Penhall's adaptation is a faithful, careful crafting of the book for the screen, fully evoking the atmosphere of menace and desperation. The Road is set a few years after an unexplained cataclysmic world disaster has left the earth poisoned, barren and hostile. While ash blocks out the sun and the earth no longer fosters plant or animal life, men either starve or join the maruading gangs of cannibals. The plot follows an unnamed father and son on a bleak epic across the wasteland and features a series of horrifc encounters in a merciless world starved of life and hope. This edition includes a full list of cast and crew credits.
