The Last Man is Mary Shelley's apocalyptic fantasy of the end of human civilisation. Set in the late twenty-first century, the novel unfolds a sombre and pessimistic vision of mankind confronting inevitable destruction. Interwoven with her futuristic theme, Mary Shelley incorporates idealised portraits of Shelley and Byron, yet rejects Romanticism and its faith in art and nature.

In our own time, when the dark threat of a dystopian world is not an alien or avoidable concept, The Last Man (1826) is revealed as a trailblazing novel. With a truly global view, Mary Shelley’s futuristic romain à clef–containing portraits of her husband Percy (Adrian), Lord Byron (Raymond) and several others–spearheaded the apocalyptic genre for an intimidated 19th-century readership that rejected her ‘diseased imagination’ and ‘polluted taste’.

What happens when a society decides that survival depends on narrowing the truth? In the towering prison-city of Eterra, order is maintained not through spectacle or open brutality, but through clean hands, quiet rooms, and the careful rationing of reality. Truth is never simply forbidden. It is measured, softened, corrected, and distributed only in forms the population can survive. Seran has been raised to believe in that system. A rising young doctrinal officer, Seran is disciplined, intelligent, and disturbingly good at his work.

Es sollte bloß eine fiktive Geschichte werden. Eine Geschichte über den Ausbruch einer Grippe-Pandemie in Deutschland. Wie würde sich eine Seuche verbreiten? Wie würden die Auswirkungen unser Leben verändern? Wie würden wir mit dem Verlust von Menschenleben umgehen? Alles nur Fiktion. Bis heute! Der Outbreak-Thriller erzählt die Story von Michael Schmidt, einem angestellten Architekten aus Braunschweig. Aus seiner Sicht hören wir die Geschehnisse, so wie er sie erlebt hatte. Die Vereinsamung, die Gewalt und schließlich den Tod.

Nyssa Volari is dying. But that is impossible, because she is a Soulblight vampire, blessed by Nagash with blood-fuelled immortality. More than that, Nyssa is a fighter – one of the handful of Kastelai vampires not dissolved into true death when the Crimson Keep abandoned them a century ago. With her blades and her will, she carved a kingdom out of the Broken Plains of Aqshy. These things matter little, for Nyssa's blood is cursed. It destroyed the vampire she called father, and as it threatens to do the same to her, Nyssa's allies abandon her one by one.

In the gleaming vertical city of Eterra, beauty is not decoration—it is doctrine. White corridors curve beneath false heavens. Stars burn in mathematically perfect constellations. Every surface is polished, every voice measured, every truth sealed beneath layers of civic silence. For generations the ruling regime has hidden a living force beneath the living crust of their world: an ancient, breathing presence so vast that their ancestors chose to build an entire civilization as its cage.

The sky has opened. For the first time in living memory, the people of Eterra have seen the truth above them—and the truth is more terrible than the lie. Aelit and her companions shattered the ancient lock that held their world in darkness. They broke the Dome, destroyed the governing power of Sector Zero, and gave the buried city its first glimpse of the stars. But freedom does not arrive gently.

The Ethereal God is dead. But the world it ruled was never meant to survive without it. After the fall of the false divinity that controlled the Megacity, Aelit and her allies discover a truth far more dangerous than tyranny: freedom was never safe. The Dome is no longer a lie. The sky has opened. The stars are real.

Young, brunette women are being attacked in London. 16-year-old, Irish-born Niamh has just arrived for a summer of freedom, and quickly discovers that the girls being attacked look frighteningly similar to her. But Niamh is determined not to let her fear destroy her Summer. But can her new...

The sky above Eterra was never real. For generations, the people of the city believed the Dome was their shield, their prison, and their proof that nothing existed beyond the world they had been allowed to see. But the lie is breaking. The false heavens are beginning to crack, ancient systems are stirring beneath the ruins, and something far older than the city itself has started to wake. Aelit survived the descent into the buried depths of Eterra, but survival has changed her.
