100 Dikter
Till Lindemann är för de flesta känd som sångare och textförfattare i Rammstein, men har sedan tjugo år tillbaka även ägnat sig åt att skriva lyrik. Med sina ofta korta och vassa dikter träffar han läsaren direkt och överraskar ofta.Till Lindemann skapar något nytt och originellt utifrån den tyska romantiska dikttraditionen där bland annat natur, kropp, kärlek, djur, död och sexualitet är viktiga komponenter. Han leker med de klassiska diktformerna, folkmusiktraditioner och rim, och skapar utifrån det en alldeles egen ton.Det är nu som vårt vi försvinnerNu då inga tårar längre rinnerStadig arm och vackert benMen inga ögonGråter som en stenOch inget hjärta

Stilla Nätter - Dikter
Till Lindemann är för de flesta känd som sångare (och textförfattare) i Rammstein. Mindre känd är han för att under tjugo år ha skrivit lyrik dikter, varav några få har blivit låtar, men de allra flesta lever sitt eget liv. Nästan förbigående klingar de högst häpnadsväckande, dock rytmiska och musikalisk noggranna texterna, i vilka ett djupsinnigt, retligt, sårbart lyrisk Jag träder in i en intim tvåspråkighet med läsaren. Därunder ljuder dikterna som Alexander Gorkow skriver i det tyska förordet som om de i kalla nätter har ristats ut ur isen , men också i sådan vemod, längtan och känslosinne.Denna utgåva har liksom den tyska, utgiven av Alexander Gorkow som 2012 vann det tyska Journalistpriset för sitt reportage om Rammsteins USA-turné i Süddeutschen Zeitung, en rad svartvita illustrationer av konstnären Matthias Matthies.

Novyj sbornik stikhov otlichaetsja ot predyduschikh bolshej otkrovennostju i prjamotoj. Till osvoilsja kak poet, bolshe net zapretnykh tem.

Holding and Letting Go
The social practice of forming, shaping, expressing, contesting, and maintaining personal identities makes human interaction, and therefore society, possible. Our identities give us our sense of how we are supposed to act and how we may or must treat others, so how we hold each other in our identities is of crucial moral importance. To hold someone in her identity is to treat her according to the stories one uses to make sense of who she is. Done well, holding allows individuals to flourish personally and in their interactions with others; done poorly, it diminishes their self-respect and restricts their participation in social life. If the identity is to represent accurately the person who bears it, the tissue of stories that constitute it must continue to change as the person grows and changes. Here, good holding is a matter of retaining the stories that still depict the person but letting go of the ones that no longer do. The book begins with a puzzling instance of personhood,

The Witches Are Coming
In this wickedly funny cultural critique, the author of the critically acclaimed memoir and Hulu series Shrill exposes misogyny in the #MeToo era. This is a witch hunt. We're witches, and we're hunting you. From the moment powerful men started falling to the #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism gone too far, this is injustice, this is a witch hunt. In The Witches Are Coming, firebrand author of the New York Times bestselling memoir and now critically acclaimed Hulu TV series Shrill, Lindy West, turns that refrain on its head. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You've got one. In a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes tragic, politics of not being a white man in the twenty-first century. She tracks the misogyny and propaganda hidden (or not so hidden) in the media she and her peers

Another Fine Mess
From Lindy Ryan, 'one of the most electrifying voices in the horror genre' (Gwendolyn Kiste), Another Fine Mess brings the Evans women back around in this unputdownable, crackling, rollicking mystery of humor, heart, and horror. Making sure dead things stay buried is the family business... For over a hundred years, the Evans women have kept the undead in their strange southeast Texas town from rising. But sometimes the dead rise too quick-and that's what left Lenore Evans, and her granddaughter Luna, burying Luna's mother, Grace, and Lenore's mother, Ducey. Now the only two women left in the Evans family, Luna and Lenore are left rudderless in the wake of the most Godawful Mess to date. But when the full moon finds another victim, it's clear their trouble is far from over. Now Lenore, Luna, and the new sheriff--their biggest ally--must dig deep down into family lore to uncover what threatens everything they love most. The body count ticks up, the most unexpected dead will rise-forcing
Throw Me to the Wolves
Some evil wants to live forever. Ten years ago a witch sacrificed Britta Orchid’s family and turned her into a werewolf. Selena Stone’s spell failed, and she was never seen again. Until now. Officer Aaron Labaye has discovered Selena’s remains in the house where Britta’s family died, and dragged Britta back to Louisiana to aid the investigation, hoping her past will break the case. Britta has a hard time resisting the handsome rookie, especially when he shows her a new drawing by her murdered little brother: Britta in her wolf-form. As an unseen hand sets events in motion, Britta has to help Labaye dig into the murders old and new. The bloodthirsty ghost of her brother, a jealous member from her pack, and a former friend with a serious prejudice against wolves all stand to stop Britta as she fights to finally get the truth about that night ten years ago. But, as she looks harder than ever into her own dark past, Britta will confront more than just her own demons as she fights for
