Ergebnis für "Humor" in Horror

Dunkle Kräfte sind am Werk - und The Stranger Times geht ihnen auf den Grund. Die Wochenzeitung ist Großbritanniens erste Adresse für Unerklärtes und Unerklärliches. Zumindest ist das ihre Eigenwerbung... Gleich in Hannah Willis' erster Arbeitswoche bei der Zeitung tritt eine Tragödie ein, und The Stranger Times ist gezwungen, tatsächlich investigativen Journalismus zu betreiben. Hannah und ihre Kollegen kommen zu einer schockierenden Erkenntnis: Einige der Geschichten, die sie zuvor selbst als Unsinn abgetan hatten, sind furchtbar real.

Skeeve ist ein eher unwilliger Lehrling der Magie. Er sieht einfach zu wenige konkrete Anwendungspunkte für seine wahre Berufung als Dieb. Empört über diese mangelnde Begeisterung beschwört sein Meister einen leibhaftigen Dämon, um Skeeve von den beeindruckenden Mächten der Magie zu überzeugen. Leider tötet ihn der Armbrustbolzen eines Assassinen genau in dem Moment, in dem sich der Dämon materialisiert – und der schreckliche Aahz ist frei. Skeeve bleibt nur eine Möglichkeit: Der Dämon muss sein neuer Mentor werden!

Ehen sind schon in den besten Zeiten schwierig, vor allem, wenn einer der beiden tot ist. Vincent Banecroft, der jähzornige Chef der STRANGER TIMES, hat den Tod seiner Frau nie akzeptiert... trotz recht eindeutiger Beweise für das Gegenteil. Nun scheint es, als ob er doch Recht behalten könnte: Wie weit wird er gehen, um sie zu retten? Banecroft ist abgelenkt und damit kommt der Rücktritt von Hannah Willis als stellvertretende Chefredakteurin äußerst ungelegen.

The devil paid me a visit and said I was going to one day rule his demonic kingdom. The catch: I have to attend the Infernal Academy, located in none other than Hell itself. Thankfully, I won’t be doing it alone. I’m going to surround myself with powerful demonesses (and maybe an angel or two as well).

Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education as a thief, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, plus a few small magics. His debt has driven him to lie in wait by the old forest road, planning to rob the next traveler that crosses his path. But today, Kinch Na Shannack has picked the wrong mark.

Of course, if there were only one thing under Liscor, there would be far less to fear. However, the dungeon continues to be a threat. At the same time, Goblins continue to roam northern Izril, but not all of them are as hostile to people as Tremborag or the Goblin Lord. Will the Unseen Emperor of Riverfarm make that distinction, however? A reckoning is coming as old faces and new reemerge. And all the while, The Wandering Inn is still serving food and respite and even plays to adventurers and Antinium alike. But something is coming from the dungeons. And it—they—are hungry.

Patrick Bateman is 26 and works on Wall Street. He is handsome, sophisticated, charming, and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. And he is taking us to a head-on collision with America's greatest dream - and its worst nightmare...

Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny have been despatched to assist a group of scientists who are investigating a mysterious black hole which has appeared on a Somerset hillside. Could it really be a doorway to another dimension, an opening into another world? When one of the scientists disappears into the hole - with fatal consequences - Ishmael must prove whether it was an accident - or murder. But with no clues, no witnesses, and no apparent motive, he has little to go on. Is there an alien predator at large, or is an all-too-human killer responsible?

Zum Glück ist Aahz ebenfalls ein Dämon, und gemeinsam trommeln sie eine höllische Truppe zusammen, um die Freundin zu befreien. Kompliziert wird es allerdings erst, als Aahz sich weigert, sein Geschenk zurückzulassen.

Dan has accidentally "Noclipped" into the Backrooms—a bizarro, extra-dimensional Alice-in-Wonderland world, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as the Dwellers. No one ever gets out. Hell, forget about leaving, if Dan wants to survive the week, he's going to need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own.

Seien Sie dabei, wenn unsere Chronologen ein vom Wahnsinn gefärbtes Potpourri mit dämonischen Kreaturen jenseits des Begreifens, maskierten Legenden des Wilden Westens und Revolverschwingern, die einem nur allzu bekannt vorkommen, verrühren.

By night, he can be found traipsing through the wilds of Pennsylvania, making the world safe for humans. He's more than just a mechanic, he's a New Templar Knight. He travels the backroads and byways fighting weresquonks, ningen, selkies, ghosts, and . . . gnomes? Is that gnome . . . naked? (Sigh.)

With the shadow of the Flayed Monarch looming ever closer, Dan must prepare the store and himself for the battle to come. To stand a chance, he’ll need to expand his operations, broker a precarious trade deal with the Delvers of Howlers Hold, and transform his stash of relics into an arsenal of magical war crimes.

„Werde Hofmagier!”, fordert der Dämon Aahz. „Viel Gehalt für wenig Arbeit! Wenn man den Job erst mal hat, ist das ein Zuckerschlecken …” – und sein Lehrling Skeeve glaubt ihm. Erst als er königlicher Hofmagier ist, fällt ihm auf, dass sein dämonischer Mentor vielleicht eine Kleinigkeit übersehen haben könnte. Zum Beispiel die riesige angreifende Armee, die mehr Soldaten hat als das Königreich Einwohner – und die Skeeve nun ganz alleine aufhalten soll …

Things are not well within the Lodrak Empire. An entire city goes up in smoke and ash, and an entire province is slowly being consumed by an ever-expanding cloud of death. But while the humans rally to contain the fallout of this disaster, they are much quicker to pin the blame for it on their elven neighbors to the north. With centuries' worth of strife and bad blood between the two nations flaring up, all out war is rapidly becoming an inevitability.

Warning: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. This is not a metaphor. You will dismiss this as ridiculous fearmongering. Dismissing things as ridiculous fearmongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection - the creature secretes a chemical into the brain to stimulate skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure. That’s just as well, since the “cure” involves learning what a chain saw tastes like. You can’t feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings.
