A creature not born of woman, but created from the body of a circus strongman killed while trying to save a lion tamer. She must decide who to trust, the vampire, the witch, the mad scientist or the creature. Either way, Mary's seen enough to know she will need an army to fight those things not easily killed.
Frankenstein's Companion

Eine enge Parklücke treibt den meisten Autofahrern Schweißperlen auf die Stirn. Für einige Zeitgenossen hat sich daraus eine echte Trendsportart entwickelt. Das funktioniert allerdings nur mit einer Menge Fahrkönnen. In die Minimalsten-Lücken zwängen die Fahrkünstler ihr Auto mit Schwung und einem beherzten Griff zur Handbremse. Nichts für Angsthasen! Seit vielen Jahren versuchen sie den Spielraum, bis es kracht, immer kleiner zu halten um einen Eintrag ins bekannte Guinnessbuch der Weltrekorde zu bekommen. In den vergangenen zwei Jahren wurde die Bestmarke insgesamt fünf Mal verbessert. Zuletzt lag der Spielraum in der Parklücke bei nur 22 Zentimetern – geschafft hat das, wie zu erwarten ein Stuntman. Der Chinese Han Yue hat die Lücke auf gerade einmal 15 Zentimeter Platz verkürzt. Doch die beiden Brüder Jon und Alastair Moffatt haben diesen Rekord gebrochen und das mit einer Lücke, die nur 13,1cm. Raum lässt. Damit hält das Brüderpaar aus England den aktuellen Guinness-Rekord.
While browsing in a rare book store in Arkham, Sean finds an occult book with an ad seeking an apprentice sorcerer, from a newspaper dated March 21, 1895. Even more intriguing, the ad specifically requests applicants reply by email.
Sean’s always been interested in magic, particularly the Lovecraftian dark mythology. The advertiser, Reverend Redemption Orne, claims to be a master of the occult born more than 300 years ago. To prove his legitimacy, Orne gives Sean instructions to summon a harmless but useful familiar—but Sean’s ceremony takes a dark turn, and he instead accidentally beckons a bloodthirsty servant to the Cthulhu Mythos god Nyarlathotep. Now Sean must find and bind the servitor, before it grows too strong to contain. But strange things are already happening in the town of Arkham. Welcome to the darker side of New England in the first of a new series from Anne Pillsworth. Find out more at http://us.macmillan.com/books/9780765335890 YA/Fantasy
