The Asherian War has ushered Earth and its population into a new age. Humankind has gone, giving rise to a tenuous society of other races once confined largely to shadows and stories. The new paradigm is overseen by the Celestials, whose terrestrial ambassadors, the Legacies, wield a potent and manifold elemental magic—one ruled by the astrological sign one is born under. They were instrumental in banishing the dragons—ravenous and mindless beasts—to the gloomier land of a place known as the Outer Edge.

Jon Hudson, lead investigator for the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center-P, thinks his job is a joke.

When yet another Sasquatch sighting leads to a research facility in the backwoods of Maine, disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site, Hudson's job becomes deadly serious.

Ein geheimnisvolles Artefakt auf dem Meeresgrund. Eine rätselhafte Mordserie. Die Opfer sind bestialisch entstellt. Eine uralte Macht, die nicht von dieser Welt zu sein scheint. Und ein Mann, der im Kampf gegen das Böse seine Berufung findet: John Sinclair. "Sinclair - Dead Zone" ist der Auftakt der neuen Serie SINCLAIR und erzählt die Entstehungsgeschichte von John Sinclair - völlig neu und von Anfang an. Noch nie war Sinclair zeitgenössischer, unheimlicher und düsterer.

I've said it before, but sometimes I'm a bad person. I cheated on my 12th-grade math final, I've run countless yellow lights, and I gossip about how hot my kickass best friends are. (Good thing my job as a guild bartender doesn't require moral perfection.) But there's bad, and then there's bad. And I'm not sure which applies to a certain dark druid/wanted criminal/reluctant friend of mine. His transgressions include black-magic dealings, kidnapping, and murder, and he's about to add "revenge-fueled killing spree" to his resume - if I don't stop him. Should I stop him?

Povídka Ladislava Klímy Slavná Nemesis, která poprvé vyšla v roce 1936, je jedním z nejlepších příkladů temné fantastiky 20. století. Hrdinou vyprávění je Sider, který je doslova uhranutý dámou v modrém a je odhodlaný ji hledat na vrcholcích hor, v hlubokých lesích i v psychiatrické léčebně. Je však dáma v modrém skutečná? Nejde jen o vidinu? Siderovy úvahy se čím dál víc propadají do víru paranoie, iluzí a klamu a povídka pozvolna odhaluje odvrácenou tvář lásky, totiž neředěné zlo a šílenství.
