"... die Gefährtin des Erlösers ist Maria Magdalena. Aber Christus liebte sie mehr als alle Jünger und küßte sie oftmals auf ihren Mund. Die anderen Jünger waren gekränkt ..." (Evangelium des Phillippus) Einem küssenden und auch tanzenden Jesus (Tanzlied Jesu) kann man wohl nur im Kino oder aber in gnostischen Schriften begegnen. Vom orthodoxen Christentum wütend bekämpft, hat sich das gnostische Denken, Martin Buber nennt es eine "Großmacht in der Geschichte des Menschengeistes", als eine unterschwellige, aber umso zähere Widergängerin der Ideengeschichte ausgeprägt.

In The Soft Machine, William S. Burroughs begins an adventure that will take us into the dark recesses of his imagination, a region where nothing is sacred, nothing taboo.

When a series of violent storms traps Whisper Ridge beneath crushing snow, plunging temperatures, and a sky that seems intent on erasing them, Mason and his community find themselves battling a season that behaves less like weather and more like a rival force.

In The Ticket That Exploded, William S. Burroughs' grand "cut-up" trilogy, which starts with The Soft Machine and continues through Nova Express, reaches its climax as inspector Lee and the Nova Police engage the Nova Mob in a decisive battle for the planet. Only Burroughs could make such a nightmare vision of scientists and combat troops, of ad men and con men, whose deceitful language has spread like an incurable disease, be at once so frightening and so enthralling.

Widely considered one of the founding works of science fiction and a masterpiece of Gothic literature, Frankenstein is an exploration of scientific responsibility, human nature, and what we owe to those we bring into existence. This edition presents the original 1818 text—the rawest and most philosophically powerful version of Mary Shelley's groundbreaking novel, written when she was just 18 years old.

Die Texte der Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preisträgerin Sharon Dodua Otoo nun in einem Band. Über Herr Gröttrup setzt sich hin urteilt die Jury: "Ein cooler Text" als die Autorin mit ihrer ersten auf Deutsch geschriebenen Erzählung 2016 den Bachmann-Preis gewann.

Das neue Buch vereinigt beide Texte mit einem weiteren, bisher unveröffentlichtem, einer imaginären Reise mit den Eltern nach Klagenfurt.

DAS KREUZWORTRÄTSEL, nahmen wir Ende Juni 48, zur ganz besonderen Freude der mitwirkenden Künstler, in den Tagen der Währungsreform auf. Alle Freiberufler bekamen ihre Gage in neuer D-Mark ausbezahlt. Wir Festangestellte kriegten nix, konnten uns aber trösten, dass wir von nun an unsere Monatsgehälter in der neuen, vielversprechenden Währung bekamen. Die Grundidee und der erste Entwurf stammten von einer damals noch unbekannten Autorin namens Ellis Kaut.

Hundreds of years after a plague-induced apocalypse collapsed civilization back to iron and horsepower, the Hyllises have a genetic tendency to inherit “talents” such as telekinesis, teleportation, and telepathy. Though they aren’t powerful talents, they help the Hyllises diagnose and treat the underlying causes of many illnesses in their role as healers. In this book, their town of Clancy Vail is struck by the plague. In order to save thousands of lives, they must master and use the knowledge of epidemiology contained in their copies of the ancients’ books.

“No plan survives contact with the enemy.” An age-old idiom that Clay Sanders knows very well. In this case however, it's surviving contact with the people who are supposed to be on his side. Plus, the "Citizen's Committee" is still out there somewhere, there's a nutty "Reverend" working the airwaves into a frenzy, there are disgruntled members of the community sowing discord and strife, apparent rogue nomadic elements of some kind, cannibals still active in their area, and more....
