The biggest science fiction series of the decade comes to an incredible conclusion in the ninth and final novel in James S.A. "Of the several novels I've read about Helen this year, this is the only one that covers her whole life, before, during, and even after the Trojan War. An exquisite page-turner with a cast of irresistible characters-Odysseus, Hector, Achilles, Priam, Clytemnestra, Agamemnon, as well as Helen and Paris themselves-and a wealth of material that reproduces the Age of Bronze in all its glory, Helen of Troy brings to life a war that we have all learned about but never before experienced. Laden with doom, yet surprising in its moments of innocence and beauty, this is a beautifully told story of a legendary woman and her times. The New York Times bestseller from Margaret George, author of Mary, Called Magdalene and Elizabeth I With her amazing ability to summon the voices of historical characters, Margaret George tells the story of the woman whose face "launched a thousand ships" in Helen of Troy. Whether you choose lightly historical comedy, high glam rock fantasy, or the horrors of the spiral, any of these titles is bound to keep you engrossed whenever things get overwhelming. Like The Umbrella Academy, there’s a film adaptation you can watch afterwards, if you’re so inclined! It’s an engrossing masterwork of horror manga that’s worth checking out at least once.Īll five of these are worth diving into if you’re looking for a way to get away from the real world for a while. Citizens’ hair spirals (literally), people turn into snails, and even the houses form a spiral labyrinth as the curse infects the town. Junji Ito’s singular, exhilarating art style and the gripping vignettes that show how the spiral is affecting several characters in the town, are enough to keep you on your toes the whole way through. A día de hoy se desconoce si se trató de un asesinato, de un intento de suicidio o simplemente de una desgracia del destino. The iconic manga about a town being terrorized by a cursed spiral might not sound like the ideal comic for an imaginary escape, but in my experience, confronting horrible things head on can be comforting. La muerte de Allan Poe, considerado como uno de los maestros universales de los relatos de terror, el 7 de octubre de 1849, sigue siendo un misterio. Until one day they each decide they want to undertake a big adventure and they need companions to accompany them. Tiller and Sairy live a quiet life in Ruby Holler, their children have long since left home and they are happy with their routines. And now it gets exciting because they adopt two children from the local orphanage and form an unlikely foursome for the children can not believe they are really 'wanted' and Tiller and Sairy have to deal with some pretty unconventional behaviour on the part of the children. Orr, in the meantime, has escaped the camp and fallen in with The Furies, an all-girl punk band, and moves into the coat closet of their ramshackle pink house. Enter George, a queer Robin Hood who swoops in on a bicycle, bow and arrow at the ready, offering Iph a place to hide out while she tracks down Orr. Furious at her father’s betrayal, Iph storms off and gets lost in the maze of Old Town. When their father brings Iph to a work gala in downtown Portland and breaks the news, Orr has already been sent away against his will. But this summer, with their mother gone at an artist residency, their father decides it’s time for fifteen-year-old Orr to toughen up at a wilderness boot camp. Inspired by the Greek myth of Iphigenia and the Grimm fairy tale "Brother and Sister," Michelle Ruiz Keil's second novel follows two siblings torn apart and struggling to find each other in early '90s Portland.Īll her life, seventeen-year-old Iph has protected her sensitive younger brother, Orr. |
