La vita perfetta di Sandra Morrison è andata in pezzi il giorno in cui Alan, suo marito, è stato ritrovato morto in uno squallido parcheggio. Era seduto nella sua auto, con la gola tagliata e i pantaloni calati. La polizia non ha dubbi: un banale caso di omicidio a scopo di rapina, probabilmente un incontro finito male con una prostituta. Per Sandra, è come essere precipitata in un incubo: ora è rimasta sola nella bella casa di Bobbyber Drive, a occuparsi della figlia adolescente ferita e arrabbiata e a rimettere insieme i pezzi di un puzzle senza senso.

Personaggio trasgressivo e rivoluzionario, Andy Warhol ha saputo interpretare la società dei consumi con uno sguardo freddo e critico, ma senza giudizio. La sua opera mostra come il consumismo svolga nella società un doppio ruolo di identificazione con gli oggetti-segni e di sublimazione della paura della morte. Attraverso l'uso dei codici massmediali, Warhol ha realizzato delle opere che sono diventate icone dell'immaginario contemporaneo, ma la sua grandezza non sta tanto nella citazione, quanto nella capacità di rendere lo spettatore consapevole del linguaggio dei mass media.

Lisbeth Salander está preparada para la batalla final contra la única persona que, siendo idéntica a ella, es su opuesta en todo: su hermana Camilla. Pero esta vez, Lisbeth tomará la iniciativa. Ha dejado atrás Estocolmo, lleva un nuevo peinado y se ha quitado los piercings. Podría pasar por una ejecutiva más.

Un libro de poesía que nos invita a amarnos como mujeres y a liberarnos de todo aquello que la sociedad nos ha hecho creer. Si estás leyendo esto me tienes abierta en canal entre tus manos.

La peculiar investigadora criminal de la policía de Estocolmo, Charlie Lager, es enviada allí para hacerse cargo del caso junto a su compañero Anders Bratt: es la mejor y nunca abandona un caso. Para Charlie, sin embargo, no se trata de un caso más, sino de un viaje en el tiempo, ya que se ve obligada a regresar al pueblo en el que nació, al lugar que dejó cuando tenía catorce años, a un pasado y a una infancia de la que hizo todo lo posible para escapar. De nuevo en casa, los recuerdos - y las pesadillas - cobran vida.

What's this book about? It's about the ancient mysteries of the Earth ravaged by mysterious entities from over the Edge. About the Black Moon hovering over the planet's one last remaining City and about its Legion created by Incarnators of old. About the Possessed warped by the power of primeval Darkness. About the Warriors, Enchanters, and Technomancers who once rose to defend humanity from the ancient evil.

When the shattered fragments of the Black Moon collapsed onto planet Earth, splitting continents apart and flooding them with raging oceans, Darkness descended onto our world. The eruptions of hostile energy from behind the Edge distorted the laws of the physical world, creating new life forms which now threaten to take over the planet. The last remaining vestiges of humankind, too desperate for their own survival, have nothing to offer against their advance. So it's time to activate Incarnation: the last instruction issued by Project Stellar.
