Przygodowa
Marcin Wiącek
Jak może wyglądać Warszawa wkrótce po wojnie nuklearnej? Co dzieje się w II linii Metra, na Stadionie Narodowym i w innych miejscach dawnej stolicy? Czy największym problemem były i są potwory? Z jakimi problemami borykają się mieszkańcy? Czy wojna nauczyła czegoś ludzi? Była ona tą najważniejszą w historii? Czy można wymyślić coś jeszcze po serii Metro 2033 i Kompleksie 7215? Czy może stać się to inspiracją dla innych, podobnie jak było nią kiedyś Metro 2033?

Robert Louis Stevenson
This novel, according to many critics, could become one of the main masterpieces of the XIX century. However, Stevensons premature death from tuberculosis did not allow him to end it. Only six chapters were written, which were then published in some collected works. This is Stevensons attempt to write a psychological action novel, which clearly shows the confrontation between the Father and the Son. A rude, cruel judge is Lord Hermiston, however, a master of his craft, a knowledgeable person.
Zbigniew Wojnarowski
"Jak we śnie. Zasypiasz w przedziale pociągu, śni ci się tysiąc zdarzeń i tysiąc osób, a gdy budzi cię szarpnięcie wagonu, za oknem wciąż jeszcze przesuwa się tablica z nazwą peronu. Prześniłeś pół życia między jednym a drugim stuknięciem kół. Tak samo płynie czas w Trupogonie". Niejaki Kartasz trwa właśnie w zawieszeniu pomiędzy światami: w jednym jego ciało pozostaje w spokojnym letargu, w drugim - jest tropicielem zabójców. Oprócz czytelnika, jego zmaganiom przygląda się również heban - tajemniczy byt, którego w Trupogonie unika się jak ognia. Nowela inspirowana filmem "Matrix" braci Wachowskich.
Max Brand
You dont get a much more evocative opening than that for a Western novella called Werewolf, and the story lives up to both its title and that opening in ways you wont expect from Max Brand who did write some fantastic fiction. On that bitter night Chris Royal walks into Yates Saloon to escape the storm where Cliff Main, gun happy brother of killer Harry Main, is looking for trouble over a girl both like. Words are exchanged, and there is the smell of cordite in the air. Cliff Main is dead and Chris Royal alive. At least until Harry Main comes to avenge his dead brother... It is a part Western revenge story, part tale of redemption of man and dog, part dog story with a rousing good adventure story set in the more or less modern West. Highly recommended, especially for those who love this genre!
Zane Grey
From one of the bestselling western novelists of all time, comes another classic story.

Young Terrill Lambeth could ride and shoot with the best men of the south. When her widowed father parks a caravan and drives towards Texas, she gets the chance to test her skills and prove herself on the rugged and dangerous trail west. When Templeton is murdered Terrill is left to fend for herself until desperado Pecos Smith crosses her path. A romantic western of the early 20th century.
When God Laughs and Other Stories
Jack London
A very wise story from the cycle about love. An inexhaustible topic, do not talk about it. No one has yet managed to beat the gods. Although Karkines met people who almost succeeded: Marvin Fisk and Ethel Baird. But the punishment of the gods overtook them at the end.
H. Rider Haggard
When the World Shook is a classic story, written by H. Rider Haggard, telling about the horror of a ghost town.
