It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event.

The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive. They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.

The top 10 list is populated. The sponsorship program is open. The difficulty is ramping up. The first three floors were nothing compared to what Carl and Donut now face. The Iron Tangle. An impossibly complicated subway system built out of the world's subterranean railway systems, all combined and then tied together into a knot. Up is down.

A menos que você seja um editor visionário como o Aloísio. Enquanto se esforça para se manter são durante a escrita, Geraldo luta contra a sabedoria de coaches quânticos, os lugares-comuns das sapienciais milenares, as ideias malucas de sucesso do seu amigo e editor, a inocência um tanto poética da sua quase namorada e seu íntimo instinto de autopreservação.

And no matter how savvy you think you are, you are sure to find in this collection of more than 200 tales at least one story you would have sworn was true.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman.

Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Duny (lê-se Dani) é uma celebridade de alcance mundial, alçada ao estrelato por seu imenso talento, inteligência, classe e beleza incomparáveis. Ou, pelo menos, era isso o que ela esperava da vida—que, no caso de Duny, se resume basicamente a um loop infinito de lacres, barracos e baixarias cometidos em busca da fama. Meu livro. Eu que escrevi é o maior deles.
