Loveless
Par Alice Oseman. 2022
Georgia n'a jamais été amoureuse, n'a jamais embrassé qui que ce soit. Elle n'a même jamais eu de crush. Mais…
en tant que romantique passionnée de fan-fictions, elle est persuadée qu'elle finira par trouver SA personne. Or lorsque Georgia entre à l'université, ses désirs de romance sèment la pagaille au sein de son groupe d'amis. La voilà embourbée dans sa propre tragi-comédie, à se demander pourquoi l'amour paraît si simple pour les autres et pas pour elle. Asexuelle, aromantique : étiquetée d'un vocabulaire nouveau, Georgia est plus incertaine que jamais face à ses sentiments. Est-elle vraiment destinée à rester sans amour ?Bouquet d'épines (Fleurs captives #3)

a folk horror epic about a ragtag posse that must track down a witch through a wild west beset by demons and ghosts—and where death is always just around the bend. Sadie Grace is wanted for witchcraft, dead (or alive). And every hired gun in Kansas is out to collect the bounty on her head, including bona fide witch hunter Old Tom and his mysterious, mute ward, Rabbit. On the road to Burden County, they're joined by two vagabond cowboys with a strong sense of adventure – but no sense of purpose – and a recently widowed schoolteacher with nothing left to lose. As their posse grows, so too does the danger. Racing along the drought-stricken plains in a stolen red stagecoach, they encounter monsters more wicked than witches lurking along the dusty trail. But the crew is determined to get that bounty, or die trying. Written with the devilish cadence of Stephen Graham Jones and the pulse-pounding brutality of Nick Cutter, Red Rabbit is a supernatural adventure of luck and misfortune.

Athanasios "Athan" Bakirtzis has made it far in life relying on his charm and good looks, even securing an invitation to a mysterious penthouse soiree for New York City's artsy elite. But when he sneaks off to the bathroom, he hears a slam, followed by a scream. Athan peers outside, only to be pushed back in by a boy his age. The boy gravely tells him not to open the door, then closes Athan in. Outside the door, the party descends into chaos. Through hours of howls, laughter, and sobs, Athan stays hidden. When he finally emerges, he discovers a massacre where the corpses appear to have arranged themselves into a disturbingly elegant sculpture-and Athan's mysterious savior is nowhere to be found. Athan-the only known survivor-is now the primary suspect. In a race to prove his innocence, Athan is swept up in a supernatural mystery, one of secret occult societies and deadly eldritch horrors with rather distinctive taste.

With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails.
