Skid doesn’t believe in ghosts or time travel or any of that
nonsense. A circus runaway-turned-bouncer, she believes in hard
work, self-defense, and good strong coffee. Then one day an
annoying theoretical physicist named Dave pops into the seat next
to her at her least favorite Kansas City bar and disappears into
thin air when she punches him (he totally deserved it).Now, street
names are changing, Skid’s favorite muffins are swapping frosting
flavors, Dave keeps reappearing in odd places like the old
Sanderson murder house—and that’s only the start of her
problems.Something in the world has gone wrong. Terribly wrong.
Absolutely &#*$&ed up.Someone has the nastiest versions of
every conceivable reality at their fingertips, and they're not
afraid to smash them together. With the help of a smooth-talking
haunted house owner and a linebacker-sized Dungeons and
Dragons-loving baker, Skid and Dave set out to save the world from
whatever scientific experiment has sent them all dimension-hopping
against their will.It probably means the world is
screwed.Jason Offutt writes books. This is infinitely better than
what his father trained him to do, which was to drink beer and
shout at the television. He is best known for science fiction, such
as his end-of-the-world zombie novel Bad Day for the Apocalypse (a
curious work that doesn't include zombies), his paranormal
non-fiction like Chasing American Monsters (that does), and his
book of humor How to Kill Monsters Using Common Household Objects.
He teaches university journalism, cooks for his family, and wastes
much of his writing time trying to keep the cat off his lap. You
can find more about Jason at his website, www.jasonoffutt.com.
There are no pictures of his cat Gary, and it serves him right.

Voľné pokračovanie úspešného románu Tetovač z Auschwitzu z pera
Heather Morrisovej. Cecília Kleinová mala len 16 rokov, keď sa
dostala do vyhladzovacieho tábora Auschwitz-Birkenau. Hoci bola
ešte iba dieťa, vďaka jej kráse si ju vyhliadol veliteľ
Schwarzhuber a násilím ju oddelil od ostatných žien. Výmenou za
noci s ním získala aspoň aký taký pocit bezpečnosti. No netrval
dlho, po oslobodení ju za kolaboráciu odsúdili na 15 rokov nútených
prác na Sibíri, kde sa opäť stretla iba so smrťou a utrpením. Vďaka
láskavosti jednej z doktoriek však Cilka dostáva príležitosť stať
sa zdravotnou sestrou a hoci sa dennodenne borí so smrťou a
utrpením, je rada, že má šancu aspoň trochu pomáhať. Napokon,
napriek všetkému zlu a hrôzam, ktoré prežíva, nájde aj chuť prežiť
a dokonca bojovať o lásku. Z anglického originálu Cilka’s Journey
(Zaffre, an imprint of Bonnier Zaffre, a Bonnier Publishing
company, London 2019) preložila Tamara Chovanová.
