      Jim Sturges jest typowym nastolatkiem z przedmieść San Bernardino. Ma żenująco opiekuńczego ojca oraz najlepszego kumpla imieniem Tubby, z kt�rym łączy go nienawiść do wszelkiej udręki (na przykład do lekcji WF). Na dodatek podkochuje się w dziewczynie, kt�ra nawet nie wie o jego istnieniu. Jednak wszystko zmienia się, kiedy tajemnica sprzed lat powraca, zagrażając każdemu w tym pozornie sennym miasteczku. Wkr�tce Jim dołącza do grupy niezwykłych (i trochę nieludzkich) bohater�w, by podjąć walkę z potworami, o kt�rych istnieniu nie miał pojęcia. W wyobraźni dw�ch geniuszy horroru, Guillermo del Toro i Daniela Krausa, zrodziła się ilustrowana powieść o grozie, kt�ra czai się w niewidocznych kryj�wkach, idealna dla nastoletnich czytelnik�w i fan�w `Labiryntu fauna`.

And how he can try to do the same. Writer Richard Ashley Hamilton (How to Train Your Dragon: The Serpent's Heir) expands on the world of the Trollhunters along with Timothy Green II (Avengers Academy), Joe Silver (Animal Man), Omar Lozano (Ultra Duck), Wes Dzioba (Serenity), and Edgar Delgado (Ultra Duck)!

      JFK International Airport, New York City: Seated corpses faced them in row after row. No evident trauma. No nosebleeds. No signs of poisoning. They were seated as any normal passengers would be, chairs in the full and upright position, still waiting for the fasten seatbelt sign to be turned off at the airport gate... What took the lives of an airplane full of people? Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, head of the Center for Disease Control's New York team, is racing to find out, but little does Eph know that the nightmare is only just beginning. Abraham Setrakian is an elderly Armenian professor who understands the darkness that is descending. Many years ago, in the hellish barracks of the Treblinka extermination camp, he faced a horror more terrifying than death itself. Before the next sundown Eph, Setrakian, and a motley collection of heroes must undertake the ultimate fight for survival. Should they fail, New York will be lost. And the rest of the world will follow...

      A horrific crime that defies ordinary explanation. A rookie FBI agent in dangerous, uncharted territory. An extraordinary hero for the ages. Odessa Hardwicke's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, a decorated FBI agent who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. The shooting, justified by self-defense, shakes the young FBI agent to her core. Devasted, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what most troubles Odessa isn't the tragedy itself-it's the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent's body after his death. Questioning her future with the FBI and her sanity, Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent in the New York office. What she finds there will put her on the trail of a mysterious figure named John Silence, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic, or humanity's best and only defense against unspeakable evil.

      Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool's errand: to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. He knows it's a long shot, but Jay feels it's the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad's death the previous year. The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid's tentacles and drawn into the whale's mouth where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out - one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale.[Bokinfo].
