Demons

Lesson One of the Scholomance: Learning has never been this deadly. A Deadly Education is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El, begins to unlock its many secrets. There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate… or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere. El is uniquely prepared for the school’s dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out millions. It would be easy enough for El to defeat the monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic might also kill all the other students.

“Di dalam ruangan inilah nanti kamu bekerja,” ucap Mbah Tamin sambil membuka pintu. Seketika, bau busuk langsung tercium. Sri mematung. Di depannya terbujur seorang perempuan, dikurung dalam kerangka keranda mayat. Tubuhnya kurus dan pucat. Badannya dipenuhi borok dan nanah. Tak hanya itu, perutnya juga besar seperti orang hamil. Tidak peduli Sri yang ketakutan, Mbak Tamin melanjutkan penjelasannya, “Dia adalah Dela Atmojo, anak yang harus kamu rawat sampai waktunya tiba. Ia dikirimi kutukan santet sewu dino. Santet yang sudah merenggut nyawa hampir seluruh anggota keluarga Atmojo!” —————————— Dari penulis bestseller KKN di Desa Penari, Simpleman kembali dengan kisah klenik tanah Jawa yang terinspirasi dari kisah nyata, Sewu Dino.

NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns. Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country. Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.” Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.

An epic new fantasy about a demon hunter and a foot soldier thrown together in a centuries\-old war… and the forbidden love that could change the course of history. A bloody war between demons and the Vatican has waged for more than a century, with two elite soldiers now at its center: Selene Alleva, a high\-ranking exorcist running from a dark family legacy, and orphan Jules Lacroix, recruited by the Vatican and unrivalled on the battlefield. When their paths cross over a series of unprecedented demon attacks, the distrust–and unwelcome attraction–they have for each other is immediate. But to get to the bottom of the breaches they strike an uneasy alliance to avoid suspicion. With Jules posing as Selene’s estranged fiancé, they head to the Vatican in search of answers. But even as Selene questions who her most dangerous enemy is, Jules has begun to suspect that it’s him. Now Jules’ very existence challenges every truth Selene thought she knew, and suggests a terrible conspiracy at the heart of the Vatican. Unable to ignore their growing feelings, the two must make an impossible choice between love and duty. They say love conquers all – but can it win in a war between demons and exorcists? Or will it tear them apart…

Aziz hairan kerana tiada sesiapa di dalam ruang makan kafe ini sebentar tadi melainkan dirinya seorang sahaja. Dia memandang sekilas ke pintu masuk.
