Coraline

Posted by Notcot on Apr 28, 2012 in Cult Film
Coraline

Sometimes funny always creepy genuinely moving this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety. – “Books for Keeps”. “I was looking forward to “Coraline” and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book.” – Philip Pullman “Guardian”. “If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls it should be Neil Gaiman. His new novel “Coraline” is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral.” – “Daily Telegraph”. Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman ‘a treasure-house of stories’ and in this wonderful novel which has been likened to both “Alice in Wonderland” and the “Narnia Chronicles” we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.

The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire, Book 1)

Posted by Notcot on Feb 28, 2011 in Steampunk

In the year 1870, a horrible plague of vampires swept over the northern regions of the world. Millions of humans were killed outright. Millions more died of disease and famine due to the havoc that followed. Within two years, once great cities were shrouded by the grey empire of the vampire clans. Human refugees fled south to the tropics because vampires could not tolerate the constant heat there. They brought technology and a feverish drive to reestablish their shattered societies of steam and iron amid the mosques of Alexandria, the torrid quietude of Panama, or the green temples of Malaya.

It is now 2020 and a bloody reckoning is coming.

Princess Adele is heir to the Empire of Equatoria, a remnant of the old tropical British Empire. She is quick with her wit as well as with a sword or gun. She is eager for an adventure before she settles into a life of duty and political marriage to man she does not know. But her quest turns black when she becomes the target of a merciless vampire clan. Her only protector is The Greyfriar, a mysterious hero who fights the vampires from deep within their territory. Their dangerous relationship plays out against an approaching war to the death between humankind and the vampire clans.

The Greyfriar: Vampire Empire is the first book in a trilogy of high adventure and alternate history. Combining rousing pulp action with steampunk style, The Greyfriar brings epic political themes to life within a story of heartbreaking romance, sacrifice, and heroism.

Aurorarama

Posted by Notcot on Feb 11, 2011 in Steampunk

A seductive and shockingly inventive literary thriller that entwines suspense, history, the supernatural, adventure, steampunk, and a wicked sense of adventure into an intoxicating new genre.

EPISODE ONE IN AN ASTONISHING NEW SERIES

New Venice–the “pearl of the Arctic”–is a place of ice palaces and pneumatic tubes, of beautifully ornate sled-gondolas and elegant Victorian garb, of long nights and short days and endless vistas of crystalline ice. But as the city prepares for spring, it feels more like qarrtsiluni– “the time when something is about to explode in the dark.”

Local “poletics” are wracked by tensions between the city’s security forces–the Subtle Army–and the Eskimos who were there first; by suffragette riots led by an underground music star; and by drug round-ups led by the ruthless secret police force known as the Gentlemen of the Night. 

Meanwhile, a mysterious and ominous black airship hovers over the city like a supernatural threat–is New Venice about to come under assault, or is it another government ploy?

At the root of it all is an anonymous pamphlet calling for revolt, which the Gentlemen suspect was written by one of the city’s most prominent figures, Brentford Orsini. But as they tighten the net around him, Orsini receives a message from a long-lost love that compels him to radical action.
