harold — kieron connolly

It is Dublin, it is Tues­day and for Harold, Paul, Don­ald and Mickey it is a dif­fer­ent Tues­day than usual. A strange breeze is blow­ing over the river Lif­fey. A breeze that seems to have an effect on time, mem­o­ries, hope and the nor­mal order of life. Few peo­ple notice, but the afore­men­tioned four do and they will have a Tues­day they will never for­get, or remem­ber. Meet Harold…


eric — terry pratchett

Eric is try­ing to sum­mon a demon to get his three wishes granted. One day he suc­ceeds, he has a demon in his lit­tle bed­room. Well, he thinks he has a demon, but actu­ally he sum­moned Discworld’s wiz­ard Rincewind and Eric gets more than what he bar­gained for.
Together they begin an adven­ture, and his­tory les­son, through time, space and noth­ing­ness that will take them (lit­er­aly) to hell and back.


the turn of the screw — henry james

A new gov­erness is hired to care for the two chil­dren, Flora and Miles, liv­ing at Bly. She takes up a friend­ship with Mrs. Grose who has been there much longer. Every­thing goes well with the gov­erness and dear sweet Flora until her brother Miles comes home, expelled from school. The gov­erness is puz­zled by this, because when she lives and works with Miles he is the sweet­est boy alive. Then one evening dur­ing her walk out­side the gov­erness sees a human form up in the aban­doned tower. After telling Mrs. Grose the gov­erness is con­vinced it is the ghost of a man who has lived in the house. When a sec­ond ghost shows, this time a woman, things get really out of hand and the chil­dren seem to know more about it and their involve­ment becomes appar­ent with every day the gov­erness is with them.


darkly dreaming dexter — jeff lindsay

Dex­ter Mor­gan is, on the out­side a lov­able crea­ture. He is hand­some, well behaved, has a good job as an ana­lyst with the police and has sort of a girl­friend. He could be as nor­mal as a per­son is able to. But he is not. He has a dark side, a very dark side: his Dark Pas­sen­ger. And this pas­sen­ger is a ser­ial killer, with­out emo­tions and feel­ings. But it’s also a picky ser­ial killer because he only kills other mur­der­ers. That’s what Dex­ter been thought by his fos­ter dad Harry, a police­man. Dex­ter has to abide Harry’s rules to keep him­self out of trou­ble and to look as human as he can.
But trou­ble he is in: another ser­ial killer is on the loose and along the way Dex­ter notices the killer is mak­ing it per­sonal, too personal!
