Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The world is not as solid as it pretends to be.In this collection of strange, funny, darkly magical stories, reality frays at the edges, and the people holding it together are rarely the ones in charge. They are children who know better than to ignore spilled milk. Old women with crochet hooks and terrifying competence. Cats who understand where the bodies are buried. Soldiers facing mercy in the snow. Cold War operators hearing saints and demons in the static. Cruise directors trying to keep passengers entertained while mythological judgment boards the ship. Raygun heroes fighting tyrants, stolen common sense, and songs of obedience beneath alien skies.Here, horror has a sense of humor, comedy has teeth, and apocalypse is often delayed by someone practical enough to bring snacks.The World Is Thin in Places is a genre-bending anthology of comic fantasy, supernatural horror, pulp science fiction, wartime weird fiction, and bureaucratic cosmic satire. Across haunted towns, battlefields, cruise ships, secret transmissions, and impossible planets, these stories ask the same question: When the universe starts to crack, who notices And more importantly, who refuses to look away.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Small decisions. World-altering consequences.That's the premise behind For Want of a Rivet, an anthology of eleven alternate history military stories that asks one deceptively simple question: what if a single invention, tactical choice, or quiet act of courage had gone differently The stories span a century of conflict and a dozen theaters of war. A Royal Navy pilot spots the German fleet and changes the shape of World War One. Air privateers carrying Letters of Marque dogfight over the Western Front while a brash young balloon-buster rewrites the record books. A Japanese naval officer quietly suppresses a breakthrough antenna technology that will shape the Pacific war. German engineers develop a submarine that makes the Atlantic a killing ground. British scientists discover how to bend the enemy's own guidance beams back against them, and a stage magician helps make the resulting deception invisible. An all-Black paratrooper battalion that was supposed to be fighting wildfires instead drops into the Battle of the Bulge. A French Foreign Legion scout finds a Roman tunnel under the most heavily defended line in Italy. A Polish tank crew fights to hold the cork in the bottle as Operation Unthinkable opens. A SOE agent moves through occupied France on a prosthetic leg - and the rivet that keeps it silent may decide the war. Britain and Germany forge an uneasy alliance against Soviet France. Japan defends the Imperial Palace to the last man.These are stories about the human cost of invention, the weight of small advantages, and the soldiers, spies, and engineers who never made the official record.Eleven contributors. One question. For want of a rivet, the war was lost - or won.Stories include: 'Wings over Jutland' (William Meinert) - 'Ace of Aces' (Karl K. Gallagher) - 'Radio Waves' (Joe Salem) - 'The Danzig Ghosts' (Michael Patrick Coady) - 'The War They Could Not Print' (Ross Hathaway) - 'Little Groups of Paratroopers' (Bart Kemper) - 'Callis Caecus' (Nick Aalderink) - 'Operation Unthinkable' (Samuel A. Mayo) - 'Cuthbert's Silence' (D. S. Ligon) - 'Axis of Alliance' (G. Scott Huggins) - 'The Last Kamikaze' (Robert Miller).…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Bureau of Imaginary Problems does not officially exist.Unofficially, it is overworked, underfunded, morally compromised, and still the closest thing reality has to a janitorial service with guns.Former journalist Mara Quill is now a Bureau field agent, which means her job involves cryptids, cursed infrastructure, impossible paperwork, and asking inconvenient questions while things with teeth object. When the rural town of Black Hollow begins experiencing a miraculous run of good luck-lottery wins, impossible survivals, sudden healings, and one suspiciously victorious raccoon-the case looks almost wholesome.That is the first warning sign.The 'luck' is not luck at all. It is debt. Every miracle in Black Hollow is being paid for somewhere else, by someone else, and the bill is coming due.Soon Mara and her team are pulled into an escalating artifact economy moving through the reopened mythic corridor network: lucky pennies that steal outcomes, a silver mask that offers escape at the price of identity, a lantern that reveals truth without mercy, and a knife that can revise reality into a cleaner, kinder lie.Alongside her are Rook, a blunt tactical agent whose preferred question is whether something can be shot; Tabs Mercer, a brilliant pattern analyst haunted by a misclassified disaster in Milwaukee; Kevin, who is Mothman and would appreciate everyone being precise about that; Crowley, the Bureau's exhausted Head of Legal; and a rooster who is not a god, not an omen, not a familiar, and absolutely not irrelevant.As the case spirals from backroads West Virginia to hidden markets, impossible archives, vanished train platforms, and the Bureau's own classified SCIF, Mara discovers the true enemy is not simply selling miracles.It is selling better endings.And better endings are dangerous when they erase who paid for the first one.Darkly funny, strange, heartfelt, and packed with bureaucratic absurdity, The Rooster Crows at Midnight is a supernatural adventure about luck, memory, identity, truth, revision, and the stupid details that prove what really happened.Because sometimes the only thing standing between reality and a cleaner lie is a field report, a haunted coffee machine, a green card marked MAYBE, and one deeply uncooperative rooster. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Bureau of Imaginary Problems survived the Devourer War. Unfortunately, survival is not the same thing as closure.In this collection of darkly comic urban fantasy case files, Mara Quill and the Bureau confront the problems they should have read earlier: a man trapped by Fey hospitality, a Djinn with a standing claim, a theater that scripts its victims, a sentient containment wagon, a coffee maker with legal opinions, a rooster no category can hold, and seven roads Hermes paid to save lives, then lost forever.As old files reopen and forgotten obligations start knocking, J. Crowley of Legal writes doctrines no sane agency should need: rescue is not ownership, for now counts, debt does not get to name the debtor, and closed is not resolved.Monsters, myths, cryptids, lawyers, ghosts, and government paperwork collide in a Bureau anthology where the strangest thing in the file may be the truth.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Reality is held together by stories.Someone just put them up for a vote. Agent Mara Quill expected paperwork, containment protocols, and maybe a mildly haunted bridge. Instead, she found a miniature golf course running a continent-spanning network of cryptids, myths, and living infrastructure-controlled by a windmill that requires her to vote on reality itself. Each decision expands the system.Each connection strengthens it.Each story becomes part of something larger. And it's working. Forests answer. Rivers align. Mountains approve. Creatures once dismissed as folklore take their place like they've been waiting for someone to start the meeting. Because they have. Then something notices. The Devourer does not attack cities or armies.It consumes structure. It erases meaning. It unravels the connections that make reality hold together. And now it has found a network built entirely out of those connections. Humanity's response? Deploy everything. Ancient myths once carved into stone.Legends whispered across generations.Cryptids that refuse to be forgotten. And, because this is still technically a government operation-Forms. Thousands of them. Binding. Defining. Weaponized paperwork that can anchor reality just long enough to hold the line. As interdimensional networks begin to connect, foreign agencies scramble, and something cold and ancient steps through to observe, Mara Quill realizes the truth: This is not a new system. This is not a new war. This is something humanity has been building, defending, and remembering for longer than history admits. The bridges are not roads. They are conversations. And this one has just turned into a battlefield. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. IMAGINARY PROBLEMS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS KIND.That's why no one is supposed to notice them.Hidden inside the federal bureaucracy is a quiet agency tasked with handling things that must not be acknowledged, because the moment they become real, they become powerful. Cryptids, buried histories, unexplained phenomena, rumors that refuse to stay rumors: the Bureau of Imaginary Problems exists to ensure these things remain effectively imaginary.Most days, that means paperwork. And cake. And pretending nothing happened.But when a routine investigation uncovers connections between old legends, polluted creeks, forgotten civilizations, and creatures that refuse to stay in one story or one timeline; the Bureau faces its worst fear: a problem that keeps being believed.As cryptids negotiate their place in the modern world, Time itself pushes back against containment, and oversight committees demand answers they don't want, the Bureau must do what it has always done best: smooth reality, bury the truth, and protect the public from stories that could make the world unmanageable.Because belief creates meaning.Meaning creates agency.And some problems can only be solved if everyone agrees they were imaginary all along.Darkly comic, sharply satirical, and unsettlingly plausible, Nothing Happened and This Is the Report is an urban fantasy about myth, memory, and the dangerous comfort of not knowing-where the greatest threat isn't what lurks in the shadows, but what happens when people start paying attention.After-action paperwork pending. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
