    Lucas, the boy known as the Indexless Boy, is trapped in a small country called Fallowphore. He cannot go anywhere, cannot search for happiness, and spends every day repeating the same routines: doing maths, playing with wooden blocks, and counting how many flowers bloom in his mother's garden. For an adventurous child like Lucas, such a life feels unbearably dull. Until one night, his neighbor, Mr. Fibble, gives him two tickets to a circus show. Lucas, who is also an animal lover, becomes excited to see the performance. But the tickets are not for a circus. Instead, they lead to a mysterious "game" rumored to make anyone truly happy, or at least, that was what people told him. To Lucas, it only seemed to drive people insane.

    In mythology, succubi are demons that take the form of beautiful women to seduce humans, slowly draining their life force. Every evening after work, a man retreats to the same park to escape the noise of the world. Meeting Sofia tears a crack in reality. Walks through the mist, a motionless lake, an abandoned factory, and increasingly disturbing visions intertwine until desire, memory, and identity begin to blur. Between melancholy, eroticism, and dreamlike atmospheres, this is a story about the desperate need to be seen, the fragile boundary between love and dependency, and the shadows that can emerge when another person becomes the center of one's universe.

    Gilligan doesn't wake up on a harmless, laugh‑track island; he dies in the North Pacific, lungs full of seawater after a brutal fight, and then he wakes in a lagoon. Alive. Alone. The island around him feels like a warped echo of something he half‑remembers: a beautiful, uncharted place ringed by jungle thick with huge snakes, monstrous spiders, man‑eating cats, and boars. There are no charts that mention it, no radio, no reassuring skipper-just a trained SEAL trying to survive and understand a world that shouldn't exist. Days later, a catamaran appears offshore. Gilligan swims out, fights off a familiar threat he was sure went down with the Minnow, and stumbles into a cabin where Mary Ann Summers lies unconscious. When they wake together, they realize they both remember dying, both recognize pieces of the island, and both know that if they can still be here, then the worst people they faced at sea might also find ways to survive. As they explore the lagoon and its shifting storms, Gilligan and Mary Ann begin to suspect that they're trapped in something far darker than a shipwreck: an uncharted reality that's willing to resurrect allies and enemies alike, where the only hope of escape lies in facing what happened aboard the Minnow-and what might be coming for them next.

      Parts 32
    The Raven Family Diary follows the everyday lives of an unusual ghost family living in the World of Death-the unseen, metaphysical counterpart of the living world. Here, memories are bought and sold, dreams are stored in banks, names sleep inside forgotten libraries, mirrors can go on strike, and every morning begins with a fresh issue of the Newspaper of Endings. The Raven Family consists of a grandmother who knows far more than she ever says, a father who is constantly looking for his missing head or hand, a mother who never skips the daily newspaper, a curious son and daughter, and their mischievous pet cat, Curse, who somehow causes trouble wherever she goes. Each chapter is a standalone dark fantasy tale filled with surreal humor, strange rules, and quiet mysteries, revealing another piece of a world where ideas are as real as objects-and where every ending is simply another story waiting to begin.

    Tomás Lasserre no recuerda sus sueños. Nunca lo ha hecho, y esta noche tampoco será distinto. Pero mientras duerme, tendido en una vereda bajo la única luz de un farol suspendido en la nada, vive algo que jamás sabrá que vivió: un ratón con anteojos de carey y una cortesía insufrible se detiene frente a él, se presenta como Ferdinand, y le confunde el nombre. Antes de que Tomás pueda aclarar quién es, se ve arrastrado a una travesía imposible: una escalera que asciende peldaño a peldaño hasta la Luna, custodiada por un inspector con un reloj por rostro; un gremio de roedores desesperado por un queso legendario, oculto entre los cráteres; y una puerta de piedra que no debería existir -una puerta que, según Ferdinand, alguien más querría para sí. Pero cuanto más avanza, más preguntas se acumulan. ¿Por qué Ferdinand parece conocerlo de antes? ¿Por qué sus propias manos, su propia voz, no dejan de cambiar? Y detrás de la puerta -donde no debería haber nada- espera algo que no es queso, ni cósmico ni de ningún otro tipo. Un estruendo. Colores sin nombre. Y entonces, todo se apaga. Al despertar, no quedará nada. Ni un rastro. Solo esa sensación, terca, de tener algo en la punta del pensamiento.

    Czasem trudno być szklakiem. Szczególnie wtedy, gdy świat naokoło zdaje się pękać jak stare lustro. Jak jednak przestać wierzyć, że wszystko da się jeszcze naprawić? Że będzie lepiej? Nyx widziała morderstwo. Była tego pewna. Krew lała się po bruku, a ona nie mogła się ruszyć. Kto więc jak nie ona miał znaleźć tego, kogo bali się nawet rządzący? Kto miał odkupić swoje winy i wreszcie pokazać wszystkim, na co go stać? Nie zasługiwała przecież na życie w slumsach! Była kimś wyjątkowym. Kimś... kto zaczął słyszeć głos Bogini. Meg z kolei wie, że choć magowie nie powinni istnieć, ona była jednym z nich. Co mogła zrobić, by pomóc swojej przyjaciółce, która powoli pogrążała się w obsesyjnym poszukiwaniu kogoś, kto przecież mógł ją zabić? I czy uda jej się zachować sekret przed szklakami z wyższych sfer, tak bardzo zainteresowanych jedyną ocalałą ze spotkania z mglistym mordercą?

    Jada moved to Berlin for a fresh start, not a love story. Freshly single and determined to rebuild her life, she expects loneliness, difficult coworkers and the occasional terrible date. What she does not expect is for reality itself to start behaving like a romantic comedy. Strangers serenade her. Men appear whenever she needs rescuing. Old crushes return at exactly the right moment. Every coincidence, every song and every suspiciously perfect act of care delivers the same message: The universe has chosen Jada for romance. There is only one problem. Jada wants no part of it. The harder she resists, the more romantic, invasive and impossible her world becomes. Now Jada must discover whether Berlin is playing an elaborate joke, whether she is losing her mind, or whether fate itself is forcing her towards a happily ever after. Because if love refuses to take no for an answer, how far will she have to go to escape it? a chapter or two weekly!
