Crimson Peak
The Official Movie Novelization
Beauty & The Beast
A new series of original novels based on the hit CW
series starring Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan
Crimson Peak is the hotly anticipated forthcoming movie from director Guillermo del Toro, produced by Legendary
Pictures and distributed by Universal, scheduled for release in October 2015. It is reminiscent of the early Spanishlanguage horror films that made his name.
A character-driven horror movie, with tinges of gothic romance, Crimson Peak is set in the nineteenth century in a
crumbling mountain in Cumbria, a largely rural and mountainous region of northern England, when young author
Edith Cushing discovers that her charming new husband, Sir Thomas Sharpe is not who he appears to be…
The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam, and Jim Beaver.
A modern-day romantic love story with a supernatural twist, Beauty & The Beast appeals to fans of shows
such as The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf and Grimm.

http://www.warcraft-themovie.com
The Warcraft franchise is made up of five core games: Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness,
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, World of Warcraft, and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. The fourth and best-selling title
of the franchise is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), where players control their own
character and interact with each other in a virtual world. With almost seven million subscribers, World of Warcraft
is currently the world’s most-subscribed MMORPG, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular
MMORPG by subscribers. Having grossed over 10 billion dollars, it is also the highest-grossing video game of all
time. In January 2014 it was announced that more than 100 million accounts had been created over the game’s
lifetime.
All games in the series have been set in and around the world of Azeroth, a high fantasy setting. Initially, the start
of the series focused on the human nations which make up the Eastern Kingdoms, and the Orcish Horde which
arrived in Azeroth via a dark portal, beginning the great wars. The Orcs arrived from another world, referred to as
Draenor or Outland, a world which will be shattered into pieces by demonic magics during the events of Warcraft
II. Later on in the series the world of Azeroth was expanded, revealing the new continents of Kalimdor, Northrend
and Pandaria, allowing the introduction of the Night Elves, Tauren and other major races into the universe. The
world of Azeroth also contains the traditional fantasy setting races of elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, and trolls.

Ecko Rising
Ecko is an unlikely saviour: a savage, gleefully cynical rebel/assassin, he operates out of hi-tech London, making his
own rules in a repressed and subdued society. When the biggest job of his life goes horribly wrong, Ecko awakes in
a world he doesn’t recognise: a world without tech, weapons, cams, cables – anything that makes sense to him. Can
this be his own creation, a virtual Rorschach designed just for him, or is it something much more? Ecko finds himself
immersed in a world just as troubled as his own, striving to conquer his deepest fears and save it from extinction.
Turbulence
How would you feel if you actually got what you wanted? And what would you do if you could
really change the world?
If Ecko can win though, then he might just learn to care – or break the program and get home.
Aman Sen is smart, young, ambitious and going nowhere. But then he gets off a plane from
London to Delhi and discovers that he has turned into a communications demigod. Indeed,
everyone on Aman’s flight now has extraordinary abilities. Aman wants to heal the planet but
with each step he takes, he finds that helping some means harming others.
Will it all end, as eighty years of superhero fiction suggest, in a meaningless, explosive slugfest?

Winter has come to the Varchinde – and with it, the fatal spread of the blight. The grass is dead, and the plains’ cities
are falling to the loss of crops and trade. Now, the Kas take their chance to rise from Rammouthe. Overmatched,
betrayed and abandoned by his own forces, Rhan takes the ultimate gamble – he will abandon Fhaveon to lure the
Kas into a final confrontation.
But the world’s memory is returning. And, as the battle rages round him, Ecko begins to realise that everything they
have done has been for a purpose. If they can fit the pieces together, then they might just win the war. Yet, even if
they do defeat the Kas, the blight is still there. And to save both the Varchinde and himself, Ecko must face the worst
fear of all – the one that has come from his own world.

A brand-new time-travel dark fantasy trilogy, set in
present day, Victorian and World War II London
Moriarty: The Hound of the D’Urbervilles
A hugely enjoyable and fiercely clever romp from award-winning novelist
Kim Newman, author of Anno Dracula
Blending crime, horror, steampunk and dark urban fantasy, Obsidian Heart is a huge, phantasmagorical
jigsaw puzzle of a story told in three very distinct parts, each with its own unique atmosphere. Full of twists
and turns, it is a Weaveworld for the twenty-first century – brash, audacious and packed with surreal and
outrageous imagery. The Obsidian Heart trilogy is a dark supernatural time-travel thriller which readers will
find impossible to resist.
Imagine the twisted evil twins of Holmes and Watson and you have the dangerous duo of Professor James
Moriarty – wily, snake-like, fiercely intelligent, unpredictable – and Colonel Sebastian ‘Basher’ Moran – violent,
politically incorrect, debauched. Together they run London crime, owning police and criminals alike, and unravel
mysteries, all for their own gain.
‘It’s witty, often hilarious stuff. The author portrays the scurrilous flipside of Holmes’s civil ordered world, pokes fun
at “guest stars” from contemporary novels and ventures into more outré territory than Conan Doyle even dared.’

A spate of bombings has hit London, the most recent attack causing untold damage and loss of life at Waterloo
Station. Meanwhile, a strangely garbed figure has been spied haunting the rooftops and grimy back alleys of the
capital. The newspapers are full of fevered speculation about anarchists, anti-monarchists and Fenians as responsible
for the bombings, but Sherlock Holmes believes that this strange masked man may hold the key to the attacks. He
moves with the extraordinary agility of a latter-day Spring-Heeled Jack. He possesses weaponry and armour of
unprecedented sophistication. He is known only by the name Baron Cauchemar, and he appears to be a scourge
of crime and villainy. But is he all that he seems? Holmes and his faithful companion Dr Watson are about to
embark on one of their strangest and most exhilarating adventures yet.

Sometimes death is only the start of your problems… Max and Tom are old, old friends, who used to be

why take a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing? Tom
and Max are on the case. God help us…

Soho streets and some of their customers disrupt big band nights by keeling over dead for the second time,
they decide it might be worth looking into, if only to stop profits dropping too far. Which, in a lifetime of bad

1913. The clouds of war are gathering. The world’s great empires vie for supremacy. Europe is in turmoil, a
powder keg awaiting a spark. A body is discovered on the shore below Beachy Head, just a mile from Sherlock
Holmes’s retirement cottage. The local police are satisfied that it’s a suicide. The victim, a young man, recently
suffered a disappointment in love, and Beachy Head is notorious as a place where the desperate and depressed
leap to their deaths. Holmes, however, suspects murder. As he and Watson investigate, they uncover a conspiracy
with shocking ramifications. There are some men, it seems, who not only actively welcome the idea of a world war
but are seeking divine aid to make war a reality.

The Thinking Engine
March 1895. Hilary Term at Oxford. In the newly-built extension to the University Galleries, Professor Quantock
has put the finishing touches to a wondrous computational device which, he claims, is capable of analytical thought
to rival that of the cleverest men alive. Sherlock Holmes cannot ignore this challenge. He and Watson travel
to Oxford, where a battle of wits ensues between the great detective and his mechanical counterpart as they
compete to see which of them can be first to solve a series of crimes. As man and machine vie for supremacy, it
becomes clear that the Thinking Engine has its own agenda. Holmes’s and Watson’s lives are on the line as a ghost
from the past catches up with them…
Mycroft

This story occurs when Mycroft, an athletic Cambridge graduate, assisted the Secretary of State. Accompanied
by his closest companion and confidant, he becomes embroiled in a mystery that begins in London and takes
them to Trinidad. Based on true historical events, this tale will forever shape Mycroft Holmes.
