Prince Lestat & the Realms of Atlantis: The Vampire Chronicles
by Anne Rice (ISBN 9780385353793 $28.95)
From Anne Rice, conjurer of the beloved best sellers
Interview with the Vampire and Prince Lestat, an
ambitious and exhilarating new novel of utopian vision
and power, uniting the ancient worlds and the legends
of the Vampire Chronicles.
At the novel’s center: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt,
hero, leader, inspirer, irresistible force, irrepressible
spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a
strange otherworldly form that has somehow taken
possession of Lestat’s undead body and soul. This
ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of
vampire lore has all the force, history, and insidious
reach of the unknowable Universe.
It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for
thousands of vampire years and throughout the
Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the
hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times; a
mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent—and of how and why,
and in what manner and with what far-reaching purpose, this force came to build and
rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean.
And as we learn of the mighty, far-reaching powers and perfections of this lost kingdom
of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and how
and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia
later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit.

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen (ISBN 9781501141515
$32.50)
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The
experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided
to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary
autobiography began.
Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has
privately devoted himself to writing the story of his
life, bringing to these pages the same honesty,
humor, and originality found in his songs.
He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New
Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that
fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he
refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s
debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts
his relentless drive to become a musician, his early
days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the
rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he
also tells for the first time the story of the personal
struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us
why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized.
Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but
this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers
and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who
has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll.
Writer-producer Jami O’Brien (Hell on Wheels) signed two-year overall deal with AMC
that calls for her to join the writing staff of Fear the Walking Dead, and write and exec
produce supernatural horror series NOS4A2 (ISBN 9780062200587 $17.99) .

6. The Gentleman by Forrest Leo (ISBN 9780399562631 $26.00)
A funny, fantastically entertaining debut novel, in the spirit of Wodehouse and
Monty Python, about a famous poet who inadvertently sells his wife to the devil—then
recruits a band of adventurers to rescue
her.
When Lionel Savage, a popular poet in
Victorian London, learns from his butler
that they’re broke, he marries the beautiful
Vivien Lancaster for her money, only to
find that his muse has abandoned him.
Distraught and contemplating suicide,
Savage accidentally conjures the Devil—
the polite “Gentleman” of the title—who
appears at one of the society parties
Savage abhors. The two hit it off: the Devil
talks about his home, where he employs
Dante as a gardener; Savage lends him a
volume of Tennyson. But when the party’s
over and Vivien has disappeared, the poet
concludes in horror that he must have
inadvertently sold his wife to the dark lord.
Newly in love with Vivian, Savage plans a
rescue mission to Hell that includes
Simmons, the butler; Tompkins, the
bookseller; Ashley Lancaster,
swashbuckling Buddhist; Will Kensington,
inventor of a flying machine; and Savage’s spirited kid sister, Lizzie, freshly booted from
boarding school for a “dalliance.” Throughout, his cousin’s quibbling footnotes to the text
push the story into comedy nirvana.
Lionel and his friends encounter trapdoors, duels, anarchist-fearing bobbies, the social
pressure of not knowing enough about art history, and the poisonous wit of his poetical
archenemy. Fresh, action-packed and very, very funny, The Gentleman is a giddy farce
that recalls the masterful confections of P.G. Wodehouse and Hergé’s beautifully
detailed Tintin adventures.

Batman: The Killing Joke
movie review – Go HERE
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Presented for the first time with stark,
stunning new coloring by Bolland,
BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE is Alan
Moore's unforgettable meditation on the
razor-thin line between sanity and
insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy
and tragedy.
According to the grinning engine of
madness and mayhem known as The
Joker, that's all that separates the sane
from the psychotic. Freed once again
from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he's
out to prove his deranged point. And
he¿s going to use Gotham City's top cop,
Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his
brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to
do it.
Now Batman must race to stop his
archnemesis before his reign of terror
claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of
bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal
conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed,
will the thin line that separates Batman's nobility and The Joker's insanity snap once
and for all?
Legendary writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with WATCHMEN and V FOR
VENDETTA. In BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, he takes on the origin of comics'
greatest super-villain, The Joker —and changes Batman's world forever.
Stunningly illustrated, BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, THE DELUXE EDITION has
been lushly re-colored by artist Brian Bolland, presenting his original vision of this
modern classic for the first time.

Sherlock Holmes & the
Servants of Hell by Paul
Kane (ISBN 9781781084557
$9.99)
Sherlock Holmes faces his greatest
challenge yet when he meets the Cenobites,
the infamous servants of hell.
Late 1895, and Sherlock Holmes and his
faithful companion Dr John Watson are
called upon to investigate a missing persons
case. On the face of it, this seems like a
mystery that Holmes might relish – as the
person in question vanished from a locked
room – and something to occupy him other
than testing the limits of his mind and body.
But this is just the start of an investigation
that will draw the pair into contact with a
shadowy organisation talked about in
whispers and known only as ‘The Order of
the Gash’. As more and more people go
missing in a similar fashion, the clues point
to a sinister asylum in France and to the
underworld of London. However, it is an altogether different underworld that Holmes will
soon discover – as he finds himself face to face not only with those followers who do the
Order’s bidding on Earth, but those who serve it in Hell: the Cenobites...
