Dr. Eden Draco lives in “The Cone” shaped sanctuary in the middle of Derinkegel. Only young and healthy people roam the Cone. She doesn’t have to pay for food and drinks, education, housing, medical care or anything having to do with her upkeep. With assigned partners, the government made sure all the workers have nothing to want for. She lives in total bliss and happiness but feels like something is missing.

The world might be in disarray, but for one young woman, the very weave of herself seems to have loosened. Time and memories pass straight through her body, she’s afraid of her own floorboards, and ‘WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON’T HURT ME’ plays over and over in her ears. ‘I’m sorry not to respond to your email,’ she writes, ‘but I live completely in the present now.’ But tearing through the slippery terrains of fiction and reality, the possibility for human connection seems to beckon from the other side – and with it, the chance for a blinding re-emergence into the world.

L'Empire du bien n'est pas un essai, c'est une charge, une provocation, un éclat de rire grinçant lancé contre le conformisme du monde moderne. Philippe Muray y démonte avec une ironie cinglante les travers d'une époque où le divertissement se confond avec la morale, où la critique est suspecte, où l'enthousiasme obligatoire dicte les règles. Dans la langue au panache aussi superbe qu'excessif d'un moraliste sous nicotine, Muray s'attaque à une société qui transforme tout en fête forcée et où la liberté de penser s'efface derrière le masque du bonheur collectif.

A seemingly unremarkable woman in her sixties stows away on dozens of flights. Inspired by a true story, THE SERIAL STOWAWAY celebrates the audacity of her tactics and the absurdity of her encounters, including a scholar of shrugging, a protester suing the CIA for implanting images in his brain, and the forgotten half of a comedy duo looking to resuscitate her career on reality TV. Comic and penetrating, this novel portrays the strength that can hide in invisibility.

Walter Schuler was undeniably dead, and there was no getting around that fact. But what led to his demise? Was there a goose involved in some way? Can a man truly be considered dead if no one in a position of authority is there to confirm it? Walter Schuler was gone, but did anyone actually care? As he rests in the deep freezer of his mansion, alongside a dead deer head that seems to have its own grievances with him, these are the kinds of questions he finds himself pondering.

Humor is healthy. Author & narrator Alfonso F.R. provides a vital tool for snapping millions out of hip-hop hypnosis, this audiobook. You’ve heard a disgusting hip-hop song today, haven’t you? The most pervasive poison in society is difficult to avoid. This “music" isn’t to empower, educate, or motivate you. It’s to hypnotize you into becoming a hedonistic derelict. Do you think it’s natural to listen to percussion instruments with a guy talking about drugs, violence, and depravity? The tribalistic war drums tap into your instincts to condition you into a life of idiocy. It isn’t music.

Follow Alice as she tumbles into a world where hats are mad, cats vanish mid-sentence, and queens take croquet far too seriously. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland isn't just a book—it's a portal into delightful absurdity, linguistic acrobatics, and the kind of dream logic only Lewis Carroll could conjure. With wit sharper than the Queen's axe and characters as bizarre as your strangest dreams, this is the ultimate escape for the logically exhausted and the wonderfully curious. Step through the looking... no, wait—that's another story. Just follow the White Rabbit.

Yah! Yah! Yah! written by Jack London: He was a whiskey-guzzling Scotchman, and he downed his whiskey neat, beginning with his first tot punctually at six in the morning, and thereafter repeating it at regular intervals throughout the day till bedtime, which was usually midnight. He slept but five hours out of the twenty-four, and for the remaining nineteen hours he was quietly and decently drunk. During the eight weeks I spent with him on Oolong Atoll, I never saw him draw a sober breath. In fact, his sleep was so short that he never had time to sober up.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER “You wouldn’t expect a comic novel about a dictionary to be a thriller too, but this one is. In fact, [it] is also a mystery, love story (two of them) and cliffhanging melodrama.” —The New York Times Book Review An award-winning novel that chronicles the charming...

As if hauled up squirming from the bowels of the internet, Sex Goblin metabolizes sex writing, popular culture, and autofiction to present the real and the imagined as equally surreal possibilities.

The Stone Door is an omen, an incantation, and an adventure story rolled into one. Built in layers like a puzzle box, it is the tale of two people, of love and the Zodiac and the Kabbalah, of Transylvania and Mesopotamia converging at the Caucasus, of a mad Hungarian King named Böles Kilary and of a woman's discovery of an initiatory code that leads to a Cyclopean obstacle, to love, self and awareness, to the great stone door of Kescke and beyond.
