Au loin en contrebas, un groupe d'aventuriers vient de pénétrer sur ses terres, ce qui n'échappe pas à ses yeux d'aigle. Strahd esquisse l'ombre d'un sourire à peine perceptible : tout se passe selon ses plans. Il savait qu'ils arrivaient, et il sait pourquoi ils viennent. Il avait tout prévu. Un éclair illumine les ténèbres, mais Strahd a disparu. Il est minuit. Seul le vent trouble l'air nocturne. Le seigneur du château de Ravenloft a des invités à dîner. Vous faites partie des convives.

Le devenir-femme des historiens de l'art by Katrie Chagnon (2022)

"Quelles relations l'histoire et la théorie de l'art entretiennent-elles avec le fantasme? Et par quels mécanismes - tant psychanalytiques que philosophiques, historiques, sociaux ou politiques -s'articulent-elles au sein des discours sur l'art? L'autrice, qui s'appuie sur les travaux de la philosophe française Sarah Kofman, aborde cette question en examinant les oeuvres, exemplaires à cet égard, de deux historiens-théoriciens de l'art considérés aujourd'hui comme des figures intellectuelles incontournables: l'Américain Michael Fried et le Français Georges Didi-Huberman. En étudiant ces deux "cas" de façon approfondie, elle met en évidence la formation de véritables "systèmes fantasmatiques" et, avec une approche psychanalytique et féministe inédite dans le domaine, montre comment le genre et la différence sexuelle - et plus particulièrement les structures et les motifs liés à la féminité ou à l'ambivalence sexuelle - sont des objets de négociations complexes, de conflits et de compromis à l'intérieur même de ces systèmes. À partir des positions hystériques, fétichistes, mélancoliques ou encore paranoïaques adoptées par Fried et Didi-Huberman dans leurs écrits, elle tire des conclusions plus générales au sujet de la théorie de l'art en tant que lieu privilégié du fantasme, où se fait jour un devenir-femme des plus équivoques."--

Oh, Great! I Discovered How to Cultivate a Farmer in 52 Easy Steps by Benjamin Kerei (2022)

Ever wonder what happened to the Isekai’d gamer who found himself incarnated into the overweight body of a LitRPG farmer, only to spit in the face of destiny and earn more money and experience than anyone ever dreamed possible? Fairytales would have you believe he lived happily ever after, but life doesn’t always match up to fairytale endings. Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer turned clerical error, has now become a thorn in the vindictive Northern Regent’s side. To make matters worse, he has a giant stuck in his well. And the adventurers’ guilds are pounding on his door for the chance to kill it. Which is more than a little annoying, as all Arnold wants to do is focus on taking his trap method wide while he builds a farm to give down-on-their-luck farmers like him a chance. However, there is “one” little problem with his plan… Changing the world isn’t easy. And Arnold needs an entire industry that doesn’t currently exist. And resource management is hard. And trying to find good employees is difficult. And Blackwood doesn’t have the infrastructure to support all these people, even if he does. And the regent is out for blood and trying to ruin him. And no matter what he tries, the giant won’t die. And for some reason, Ranic wants him to find a goal that gives his life meaning. So let’s see how well his happily ever after really goes…

As a schoolboy, Fedeles Quemanor barely survived being possessed by sorcery. Now he'd gladly abandon all matters of magic to more ambitious people.

Unless they take action, Count Radulf, the ferocious Scarlet Wolf of Labara, will destroy it and all of Cadeleon along with it.

Decolonizing the Undead by Stephen Shapiro (2022)

"Looking beyond Euro-Anglo-US centric zombie narratives, Decolonizing the Undead reconsiders representations and allegories constructed around this figure of the undead, probing it's cultural and historical weight across different nations and its significance to postcolonial, decolonial and Neoliberal discourses. Taking stock of zombies as they appear in literature, film and television from the Caribbean, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, India, Japan, Iraq and Ireland, this book explores how the undead reflect a plethora of experiences previously obscured by western preoccupations and anxieties. These include embodiment and dismemberment in Haitian revolutionary contexts; resistance and subversion to social realities in the Caribbean and Latin America; symbiosis of cultural historical traditions with Western popular culture; the undead as feminist figures; as an allegory for migrant workers; as a critique to reconfigure socio-ecological relations between humans and nature; and as a means of voicing the plurality of stories from destroyed cities and war-zones. Interspersed with contextual explorations of the zombie narrative in American culture such as zombie walks and the television series The Santa Clarita Diet, contributors examine such writers as Lowell R. Torres, Diego Velz̀quez Betancourt, Hemendra Kumar Roy and Manabendra Pal; works like China Mieville's Covehithe , Reza Negarestani's Cycolonopedia, Julio Ortega's novel Adiós, Ayacucho , Ahmad Sadaawi's Frankenstein in Baghdad; and films by Alejandro Brugués, Michaell James Rowland, Steve McQueen and many others. Far from just another zombie project, this is a vital study that teases out the important conversations among numerous cultures and nations embodied in the this universally recognized figure of the dead."--

Triple Threat by K. Webster (2022)

I’m a prisoner in a prestigious world. A perfect princess locked in a tower. My father will never let me go. Not that I could leave. I would never abandon my little sister. Hope comes in the form of a devilishly handsome man with dark eyes and darker secrets. With each encounter, I’m lured deeper into the labyrinth. The danger lurking beneath his surface calls to me, even as it warns me away. Except there’s a new side of him every time we meet. A different danger each time we touch. It’s as if three different men want to devour me. He’s not just one villain. He’s three.
