A pretty good stand alone fantasy story about a family of travelling Witchers (people who kill monsters) hunting a striga (big cursed monster).The Good: I didn't have to play the video game to know what was going on. The story worked well on its own. The crow boy was pretty awesome.The Bad: The art was just OK. Nothing to write home about.The Ugly: I didn't like how the crow boy part of the story ended. I would have liked to see something more definitive.Received an advance copy from Dark Horse and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 starsTruthfully, I thought this would be a crappy cash-grab due to the new Netflix show (but this was published in 2014) or an equally crappy cash-grab due to the popularity of the video games.I'm glad I decided to give it a try because it was neither.It was actually a pretty good self-contained Witcher story.Don't get me wrong, this isn't your next must-read comic. Far from it. But it is exactly what I would have expected from a fantasy comic based off of the Witcher series.Geralt fights a cool monster...and there's a twist.The End.The art was nice and the plot was better than I expected.Recommended for fans of The Witcher.

This book was really pretty, but the writing in it was really muddled and confusing. The writing wasn't sure of who it was aiming at. I think this book was SUPPOSED to be a lore primer for people who've only played the games. However, the narratives were choppy, skipped over important details in favor of minor ones, and left me confused. It doesn't work for people who have read the books either, because it's so vague. It doesn't really summarize what happened in the books/game. It reads like a drunk history professor's work. It's just all over the place. It skips around, and is written in an annoying Roleplay-esque "I'm a snobby elf, here's the history of you humans because you're too dumb to remember" voice. It fails at its purpose of gently introducing newcomers to the lore, and it fails at being a refresher to those familiar with it.  This book just didn't know what it wanted to be: The Art of the Witcher or The World of the Witcher. The prose isn't good enough, isn't clear enough, to be a good intro to the lore. Wikipedia has much better summaries than this. And there's not enough art to call it an art book. Only reason I gave it three stars was because what little art is in it, is gorgeous. I regret that it isn't an art book. Next time CDPR wants to do a lore book, they need to STOP writing it in character. It doesn't help at all, and the elitist elven narrator just pissed me off. TLDR: if you want to get into the Witcherverse before playing the games, just read Andrzej Spakowski's books. Please don't waste your time with CDPR's because both of them are terrible and a waste of beautiful glossy paper. This book is NOT worth the $50 price tag. For that money, go buy the actual series and the three games.

Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.

Part of the Soviet Science Fiction Series, with an introduction by Theodore Sturgeon.Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of those strange misfits compelled to venture illegally into the Zone and collect the strange artefacts that the alien visitors left scattered there. His whole life, even the nature of his daughter, is determined by the Zone.En la Unión Soviética, como en los Estados Unidos, la fascinación por las posibilidades de la ciencia y la tecnología produjo una larga y rica tradición de ciencia ficción. Los hermanos Strugatsky son sin duda las primeras figuras del género en su pais. Las dos novelas cortas que integran este volumen tienen una introducción de Theodore Sturgeon. "Picnic extraterrestre" trata de una fugaz visita de seres de otro planeta, que dejan en la Tierra algunos desperdicios, algo así como los restos de un picnic. Estos productos son de una tecnología extraña ponen en juego toda suerte de ambiciones humanas."Leyendas de la Troika" es una sátira sobre un futuro lejano en el que el mundo se divide en innumerables pisos conectados por ascensores que nunca funcionan. Clara denuncia a la irracionalidad burocrática, "Leyendas de la Troika" es absolutamente diferente de "Picnic Extraterrestre", lo que prueba la extraordinaria versatilidad de los hermanos Strugatsky.

Set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary dynasties are controlled by noble houses that owe an allegiance to the imperial House Corrino, Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides (the heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and heir of House Atreides) as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the 'spice' melange, the most important and valuable substance in the cosmos. The story explores the complex, multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion as the forces of the empire confront each other for control of Arrakis.Published in 1965, it won the Hugo Award in 1966 and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Dune is frequently cited as the world's best-selling sf novel.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
