Krátky popis
* THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER *'An enthralling read' GUARDIAN'A thrilling blend of fantasy and horror, richly imagined and masterfully executed' SFX'Terrific . . .A book that creeps up on you, wearing brass knuckles' CONN IGGULDEN--------------The first in a captivating new historical fantasy series, ORDINARY MONSTERS introduces the Talents with a catastrophic vision of the Victorian world, and the gifted, broken children who must save it. There in the shadows was a figure in a cloak, at the bottom of the cobblestone stair, and it turned and stared up at them as still and unmoving as a pillar of darkness, but it had no face, only smoke . .. 1882. North of Edinburgh, on the edge of an isolated loch, lies an institution of crumbling stone, where a strange doctor collects orphans with unusual abilities.In London, two children with such powers are hunted by a figure of darkness - a man made of smoke. Charlie Ovid discovers a gift for healing himself through a brutal upbringing in Mississippi, while Marlowe, a foundling from a railway freight, glows with a strange bluish light. When two grizzled detectives are recruited to escort them north to safety, they are confronted by a sinister, dangerous force that threatens to upend the world as they know it.What follows is a journey from the gaslit streets of London to the lochs of Scotland, where other gifted children - the Talents - have been gathered at Cairndale Institute, and the realms of the dead and the living collide. As secrets within the Institute unfurl, Marlowe, Charlie and the rest of the Talents will discover the truth about their abilities and the nature of the force that is stalking them: that the worst monsters sometimes come bearing the sweetest gifts. --------------'A dazzling mountain of wild invention, Dickensian eccentrics, supernatural horrors and gripping suspense' JOE HILL'Expansive in scope and storytelling, Ordinary Monsters builds an electrifying Victorian world' CARI THOMAS

Tu žila Britt-Marie
Britt-Marie je vraj pasívne agresívna... Pche, také klamstvo! Keby ľudia neboli neporiadni, nerobili by špinu a škrabance, ONA by nemusela kričať! Ale to je už jedno. Britt práve ukončila svoje 40-ročné manželstvo a odmietla byť ďalej ženou v domácnosti. Koniec! Začne nanovo v Borgu! Ibaže Borg zasiahla finančná kríza tak silno, že tu okrem jednej smradľavej pizzérie nič neostalo. Teda až na... futbal. Tomu ale Britt-Marie vôbec nerozumie. Deti z Borgu však trénera zúfalo potrebujú, a tak vezmú naozaj kohokoľvek... To, že Britt to miesto nechce, ich vlastne vôbec nezaujíma. Lenže keď ju pozve na rande miestny policajt a ešte si nechtiac v soláriu zlomí ruku, zdá sa, že osud má s Britt v Borgu predsa len svoje plány. Preložila Mária Bratová
