    Book SynopsisWhen twenty-something Kevin Felton loses his job and moves back in with his mother, he assumes life can't possibly get any worse. He used to be somebody at a big time company—now he's just another nobody with no direction and nothing to do but get drunk and fantasize over the strange blue woman that lives in his dreams. Little does he know, there’s more to his world than he ever imagined, and he’s about to be thrown headfirst into a particularly deadly kind of fantasy. Things start to look up when Kevin stumbles into a wild romance with the woman he thought was just a dream, a water nymph with a magical and mysterious past. There's just one problem: his new lover left a fiancé at the altar, and that man just happens to be Death himself. In a desperate attempt to save his own life, Kevin—alongside Driff, an elven secret agent with questionable loyalties, and Ren, a longtime friend who knows more than he's letting on—befriends the reaper and must find a way to hook Death up with someone new before his own role in events comes to light.

    Media Hatchery Struwwelpeter: Presented in both English and German

    Book SynopsisThis public domain children''s book was written by German physician Heinrich Hoffmann. Originally published in 1845, it was (re)introduced to the American public in 2006 by a well-known paper salesman and beet farmer. Dr. Hoffmann offers ten well-intentioned parables that warn children of the consequences and dangers of insolence and distasteful behavior -- you might call it the 19th-century version of scared straight.Struwwelpeter may have been deemed appropriate for children in mid-1800''s Germany, but it is definitely not acceptable in today''s overly sensitive political climate. The book is genuinely offensive on myriad levels - racial stereotypes, comic book violence, gruesome depictions, and much more! If you are easily offended, lack a sense of humor, or are unable to comprehend that civilization has [mostly] progressed since this book was written, you have been warned! Purchase this book at your own peril and check your wokeness at the door.On the other hand, if you can appreciate that times have changed dramatically in 175 years, then enjoy! Struwwelpeter is an interesting and worthwhile examination of the less-than-kind and not-so-gentle approach to child-rearing in 1845 Europe. Just to reiterate ... as warm and fuzzy as it may be to have your thumbs cut off because you suck them, this book is still NOT appropriate for young children.The Media Hatchery editions of this book contain the original artwork and both the English translation and the original German text. The pictures have been meticulously restored, the type reset, and the contents printed on high-quality paper to ensure bright, vivid colors and a clean, modern presentation of a 175-year-old classic.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"Richard Kadrey's The Everything Box is a manic and hilarious Venn diagram of Elmore Leonard, Dave Barry, and the Book of Revelations. The last time the end of the world in a novel was this funny, aliens destroyed Earth to build a hyperspace bypass through it." -- Matt Wallace, author of Envy of Angels and Lustlocked on THE EVERYTHING BOX "This book has everything I need in a book, and some things I didn't know I needed. I couldn't stop laughing at the freelance poltergeists, inept angels, doomsday devices, mooning werewolves (...mooning werewolf. I just got that), and small time career criminals in way over their heads. Highly recommended." -- Mur Lafferty, author of The Shambling Guide to New York on THE EVERYTHING BOX "The story is fast paced, very funny, and exceptionally clever. Kudos to this author!" -- Suspense Magazine on THE EVERYTHING BOX "A supernatural comic caper that reads like one of the late Donald Westlake's Dortmunder novels sprinkled with some fairy dust." -- Kirkus Reviews on THE EVERYTHING BOX "Kadrey's plot doesn't depend on magic; instead, magic is the broth bringing all manner of delicious ingredients together in this wonderful stew of a story. This unusual urban fantasy is a delight." -- Publishers Weekly on THE EVERYTHING BOX "A rolling bouncy-house of a caper tale, The Everything Box abounds with quick-witted characters, snarky dialogue, and surreal analogies. If you haven't sampled Richard Kadrey's take on fantasy yet, this is a great place to start." -- Christopher Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Lamb, A Dirty Job, and The Serpent of Venice on THE EVERYTHING BOX "Fans of the Sandman Slim novels as well as newcomers wo the author will be thrilled by this fast-paced, smart-mouthed adventure." -- B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog on THE EVERYTHING BOX "[Kadrey] can make Hell funnier than you'd believe. Raymond Chandler meets Good Omens, in which multiple doomsday cults, secret government agencies, and crooks of every description compete to retrieve the box, a perfect McGuffin, a Maltese Falcon with the power to destroy all of Creation." -- Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing on THE EVERYTHING BOX "Kadrey's simultaneously glib and snide voice [peppers] his story with delightful turns of phrase...The Everything Box is a fun read for all of the Kadrey-isms alone." -- Locus Magazine on THE EVERYTHING BOX "His books are a romp... and they go down like cold lager on a hot afternoon. He'll hit you with the heavy stuff... but he'll give it to you in the first couple pages, cover it in stripper glitter, and have someone get socked in the nose." -- NPR Books on THE EVERYTHING BOX "Hilarious, exciting, poignant, romantic, horrifying, and absurd in the very best way ..." -- New York Journal of Books on THE EVERYTHING BOX "Richard Kadrey's work has often possessed a dark, satirical edge, but in "The Everything Box," the San Francisco author allows himself to venture far into the realm of the outright silly...reminiscent of the comic novels of Christopher Moore, Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett" -- San Francisco Chronicle on THE EVERYTHING BOX "Mr. Kadrey's invention never flags. He always has another joke up his sleeve. Even if the joke is on us and our ability to drag the Heavenly Hosts themselves down to street level, and then corrupt them." -- Wall Street Journal on THE EVERYTHING BOX

Poignant scenes are interspersed with the high jinks fans of the series have come to expect, making this a hugely fun, yet intensely thoughtful take on superheroics and new adulthood.” —Publishers Weekly (starred) “Interspersed between these high-octane scenes of relationship discovery are intense scenes dealing with the fallout of abandonment.... The emotional tension line was as involving as the magical one, and I found Bea’s voice the most fun of the three books.” —Sherwood Smith, author of the Inda Series “Kuhn imbues her books simultaneously with great humor and real, raw emotion.... And then she amps it all up with superpowers, demonic forces, and rampaging architectural features.” —Cass Morris, author of From Unseen Fire “Finally accompanying Bea on her own journey is an honor and a privilege; a hilarious, awkward, rocky, determined honor and privilege.” —Book Riot “If you looked at Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp and immediately demanded more superheroines, then Heroine’s Journey will definitely tickle your fancy.” —Culturess “These are the superhero books that I would want to live in—with awesome women supporting each other, great representation, fun plots and even a touch of romance!” —All Things Urban Fantasy “Bea is easy to adore. She’s brilliant, bold, and a butt-kicking heroine in her own right.... Kuhn is brilliant at balancing popcorn thrills with more weighty storylines, and I loved every bit of it.” —Wit and Sin “Heroine’s Journey is particularly timely because Bea...is facing the struggles so many of us do, foremost of which is attempting to find herself amidst the chaos of family and career and love and life.” —The Roarbots “I love, love, LOVE this series. It is the cognitive equivalent of a warm hug, a blanket, a kitty, and the best pajama pants I own.” —Confessions of a Curator, Editor, Geek “This story will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with being taken seriously by those they love....

And then she amps it all up with superpowers, demonic forces, and rampaging architectural features.” —Cass Morris, author of From Unseen Fire “Finally accompanying Bea on her own journey is an honor and a privilege; a hilarious, awkward, rocky, determined honor and privilege.” —Book Riot “If you looked at Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp and immediately demanded more superheroines, then Heroine’s Journey will definitely tickle your fancy.” —Culturess “These are the superhero books that I would want to live in—with awesome women supporting each other, great representation, fun plots and even a touch of romance!” —All Things Urban Fantasy “Bea is easy to adore. She’s brilliant, bold, and a butt-kicking heroine in her own right.... Kuhn is brilliant at balancing popcorn thrills with more weighty storylines, and I loved every bit of it.” —Wit and Sin “Heroine’s Journey is particularly timely because Bea...is facing the struggles so many of us do, foremost of which is attempting to find herself amidst the chaos of family and career and love and life.” —The Roarbots “I love, love, LOVE this series. It is the cognitive equivalent of a warm hug, a blanket, a kitty, and the best pajama pants I own.” —Confessions of a Curator, Editor, Geek “This story will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with being taken seriously by those they love.... As with the first two of the series, this one is a tasty mix of funny, touching, and spicy, hot romance.” —MyShelf

Swift narrative, charm, great world-building...all the McGuire trademarks." —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series"[Half-Off Ragnarok] is kind of like taking a tour through a very deadly theme park made up of alternating parts awesome and terrifying. Come to think of it, that sums up this series quite nicely.... This book effectively acts as a jumping-on point to those just coming in." —Tor.com "Half-Off Ragnarok is my favorite book in the InCryptid series thus far.... If urban fantasy, intriguing animals, and fast-paced adventure is your thing, you’re going to love Half-Off Ragnarok. Highly recommended." —Jennifer Brozek"McGuire creates a sense of wonder and playfulness with her love for mythology and folklore.... Her enthusiastic and fast-paced style makes this an entertaining page-turner." —Publishers Weekly"McGuire’s InCryptid series is one of the most reliably imaginative and well-told sci-fi series to be found.... McGuire’s heroine is a brave, resourceful and sarcastic delight, and her intrepid comrades are just the kind of supportive and snarky sidekicks she needs." —RT Reviews"While chock-full of quality worldbuilding, realistic characters, and a double helping of sass, at its core, Half-Off Ragnarok is a book about judging others according to stereotypes, how nurture can overcome nature, and the importance of family." —Ranting Dragon"The InCryptid series continues to be storytelling at its best. Tricks for Free sends us on a rollercoaster of emotions and thrills with its engaging plot and ever-expanding and fascinating world." —All Things Urban Fantasy"Imaginary Numbers is a stunning installment and one that every urban fantasy reader is sure to relish." —Fresh Fiction
