        Composite Creatures

        by Caroline Hardaker

        Reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, Han Kang's Vegetarian, Megan Hunter’s The End We’re Starting From and Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, with a pinch of Black Mirror. Birds are gone. It only became noticeable when none were left. Norah’s mother collected their feathers on the ground and preciously passed them onto her daughter. She was an artist and dreamed of better things. But Norah isn’t her mother. In fact, she wasn’t even there when she passed away. She’s pragmatic and does ok in her 9-5 insurance job. Norah is in her thirties now and her date with Art (short for Arthur) has been cautiously engineered. They both meet in a restaurant, bringing their portfolio. Afterwards, each in the silence of their own little flat, they delight in reviewing the files: they’re a match. And when they spend their first night together, folding their clothes neatly on the side and only touching the tips of their fingers under the duvet tucked around their necks, they know they’re in for something special. And it doesn’t disappoint. The couple are soon selected for the most exciting upgrade: they’re given a creature. It comes with a strict set of rules, mostly to keep it in a safe secluded environment – the loft has been prepared for this – and not to get attached. But Norah soon pushes the boundaries: letting the cute ball of fur run wild in the house and sleep in their bed. While Art keeps his distance, Norah gets closer to it (or her!) by the day and even gives her a name. As ‘Nut’ grows, and starts to develop features uncannily similar to Norah’s and Art’s, the reason behind Nut’s existence becomes impossible to ignore anymore and the couple must face a devastating reality which tests their bonds to family, memory, and each other forever. A dark and haunting take on both literary and science fiction.

        Alien Invasions!

        The History of Aliens in Pop Culture

        by Edited by Michael Stein; foreword by David J. Hogan

        Written by a team of internationally renowned experts on the subject, Alien Invasions! Explores how aliens—and the ways we perceive them—have evolved over the years across a wide range of media, from books and magazines to film and television. Within these richly illustrated pages, you’ll meet aliens with eyes on stalks; the tentacled aliens of H. G. Wells’s War of the Worlds; Frank R. Paul’s barrel-chested Martians of the 1930s; the blob-like B-movie creatures of the 1950s; H. R. Giger’s nightmarish creation for Ridley Scott’s Alien; Steven Spielberg’s friendly visitor in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial; and many, many more. Each of the book’s chapters tackles its subject from a different vantage point, beginning with the earliest fictional examples by Wells and others, before looking at the pulp-magazine explosion of the 1920s and 1930s; the UFO phenomenon of the 1950s, in print and on screen; comic-book aliens, from Buck Rogers to the present day; the B-movie boom of the 1950s, heralded by The Thing and The Day the Earth Stood Still; invaders from within, in the form of Body-Snatchers and Triffids; aliens’ interactions with Earth women; small-screen aliens, from Star Trek to Falling Skies; and blockbuster invasions, from Close Encounters to Arrival.   Along the way, you’ll encounter ray guns, seedpods, mind control, and body transference, not to mention a whole galaxy of friendly visitors and fearsome invaders. Never before have so many aliens assembled in one place!

        Il guaritore (The Healer)

        by Damiano Leone

        Damiano Leone’s The Healer takes place in a not-so-distant future – an era marked by fracture and ambiguity, where the need for a dramatic change for the better is more desperate than ever. And this is where the Advanced Research Centre of Geneva steps in: thanks to the funding provided by the Vatican, a team of Swiss scientists manages to achieve the most ambitious goal – to send a man back in time. The time traveller is Mark Sachs, known as Freezer, and he is set to conduct an unprecedented mission: he has to go back to two thousand years before his time in order to verify the factual existence of Jeshua ben Yosef, eye-witness his resurrection, and ultimately come back to testify the truth to his own contemporaries. However, as soon as Mark climbs to the top of the little hill of Golgotha – the place where the dead body of Jesus of Nazareth was buried in the Sepulchre –, an unexpected twist of fate forces him to abort the mission and rush back to his present. And he does not come unaccompanied: Mark has brought a mysterious passenger back with him; a man who lay dead in his tomb a few minutes earlier, and who is now miraculously back to life. Is he the Son of God, or is he just an ordinary man? Finding the answer will not be easy, especially since the man from the past has lost his memory. Only one thing is for sure: such an event cannot go unnoticed by the mightiest powers in the world – powers that would be severely threatened if the miraculous existence of Jeshua ben Yosef were to be proved. Eminences of the world’s great monotheistic religions start giving chase to the mysterious stranger with different motives: some want to eradicate him; some want to have him on their side to weaken the Vatican; and some want to protect him even at the expense of the hegemony of the Church. As soon as the man from the past lands to a bewildering new world, feeling nothing but confusion, his presence becomes a delicate political matter, only to be magnified by the media circus. Mark will soon become deeply attached to Jeshua: putting his cold aloofness aside, he will learn what trusting another human being means. Helped by Silvie and John, two reporters that will be given the honour to interview the man who could be the Messiah, Mark will do everything to protect the one who could revolution the fate of humanity before it’s too late. The Healer is a compelling, complex novel that explores the character of a man rather than a deity’s – a man destined to become a shining light for a sick and weary world. Jeshua, holding within his heart all the virtue and frailty that make humanity so wonderful, becomes an inspiring symbol for those who want to be better people – for those who wish to learn and be more aware of their path of self-destruction. For “mankind can change”, and the world, our home, can change as well.THE PLOT: Two thousand years back in time, a shining clutter of stars illuminates the night over Jerusalem. In the silent stillness of a rock sepulchre, someone is watching over the body of a man who has been executed: a common sight for that remote, savage era, one might think. And yet things couldn’t be more unusual: the name of that man is Mark Sacks, and he has travelled back in time with the most extraordinary mission ever given. There is a chance that the body he is watching over is the corpse of the man historically known as Jesus of Nazareth. But things don’t go like the Vatican’s higher echelons had liked to, and after Mark travels back to the present taking that man, Jeshua, with him, everybody will find out what a deeply complex individual that stranger is. Jeshua has lost his memory; he has the frame of a warrior rather than that of a visionary prophet, and he is capable of miraculous healing deeds. His unearthly gift makes him the target of a fierce dispute amidst the world’s major economic, political and religious powers. Jeshua, however, will not suffer all the uncalled-for attention, and will go as far as breaking away from the top-secret research centre he has been confined to. He becomes a pilgrim, something that comes very natural to him; and his wandering through this strange, alien world will lead him to Rome. The Eternal City will face Jeshua with the deadliest adversary; an enemy that serves Evil itself throughout the universe, and that is set to wreak havoc in the cradle of Christianity itself.
