If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.' Henry Rollins, renowned spoken-word performer, musician, actor and author of several books, has a unique, hard-edged view of the world. This collection of writings from 1989 - 1991 is the classic Rollins book. From dramatic fiction shorts detailing stark, disturbing realities to gut-wrenching tour journals destroying all misconceptions of the glamour of fame and the music industry; from the challenging poetry to revealing dream sequences, Rollins' writing is unflinching in its honesty, uncompromising in its truth and irresistibly addictive.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Fables'
Une tortue, un corbeau, un lièvre, une fourmi, un lion, et même un pot au lait : autant de figures familières qui peuplent, parmi tant d'autres, notre imaginaire, resurgissent régulièrement, et que nous devons toutes au fabuleux talent de Monsieur de La Fontaine. Il est le prince des poètes, lui qui a su transformer une tradition un peu rigide, celle de la fable, en un art exceptionnel, qui charme l'oreille tout en réjouissant l'esprit, réveille les bois, anime les animaux et parvient à toucher tous les hommes.
Moralité : on aurait tort de ne pas se replonger dans la lecture des Fables, qui ravissent les enfants et enchantent les adultes ! Leur pertinence impertinente est sans doute à l'origine de leur succès ininterrompu : qu'on les récite, comme à l'école, qu'on se les répète pour soi seulement ou qu'on se les "mette en bouche", comme le fit avec un bonheur évident le comédien Fabrice Luchini, on ne résiste pas au petit plaisir d'une fable. --Karla Manuele [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Metamorfosis / Metamorphoses'
La metamorfosis, fuente de inspiración de poetas, humanistas y artistas de todas las épocas, es la más fecunda creación literaria de la antigüedad. Este extenso poema épico ofrece una espléndida muestra mitográfica arropada por un coherente marco filosófico. Doscientas cincuenta historias, mitos y leyendas que abarcan desde el nacimiento de la humanidad y la creación del mundo, en la era de los cataclismos, hasta la muerte y apoteosis de César. La metamorfosis describe lo maravilloso, lo prodigioso, las más increíbles transformaciones, en un estilo rápido y elegante. Se considera uno de los trabajos sobre mitología más populares, una joya de la literatura romana, llegando a ser la obra más conocida por los escritores medievales y por lo tanto teniendo una gran influencia en la poesía medieval. Publio Ovidio Nasón (43 a. C. 17 d. C.), fue un poeta romano muy conocido en su época, y que su talento influyó el mundo artístico europeo por cientos de años. Era caballero de rancia estirpe, de cuya antigüedad se sentía orgulloso. [via]

"My soul would be an outlaw," begins the storyteller in this short tale of the timeless war between Conformity and Rebellion, in the guise of the Master Timekeeper (a.k.a. the Ticktockman) and the renegade Harlequin. In a completely regulated society, where being a minute late here and there shortens your life accordingly, the Ticktockman is king; Harlequin is the jellybean joker who wants to knock him from his perch. Rick Berry's dark, lush illustrations magnify the force of a story that reminds readers of the best parts of George Orwell's 1984 or Terry Gilliam's Brazil. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Summer Blonde'
Adrian Tomine, creator of the critically acclaimed comic series Optic Nerve, has been called the comics voice of the twentysomething generation, but it's a title he rejects, and for good reason. The tales of disconnection and alienation collected in Summer Blonde--a selection of the best of Optic Nerve--aren't expressions of youthful angst so much as they are meditations on the discontent we all feel with contemporary life.
The four stories here have echoes of Raymond Carver in their minimalist style and focus on dysfunctional relationships, but Tomine's real strength lies in his identification of the "undercover craziness" in us all--the damaged selves that we hide beneath facades of normalcy. In "Hawaiian Getaway," for instance, a woman's inability to navigate office politics or family expectations leads to a breakdown, and she begins calling the pay phone outside her apartment and talking to the strangers who answer. Other stories are sharp indictments of the madness of modern society. In "Bomb Scare" the brutality and disregard high school students direct at each other reflect the casual violence of the first Gulf War playing out on their televisions. In the title story, a stalker's interference in the life of a woman exposes the empty voids that lie under our social rituals and leads to an eruption of violence.
Some readers may wonder how to interpret the ambiguous endings of the stories in Summer Blonde, but this ambiguity is the whole point of Tomine's work. The world he creates is just as confusing and uncertain as our own lives. While his characters are often unlikable, simultaneously creepy and pathetic, they remain understandable because Tomine always ensures that we see ourselves in them. --Peter Darbyshire [via]

Sir Charles Baskerville, revenu vivre une paisible retraite dans le manoir de ses ancêtres, au coeur des landes du Devonshire, est retrouvé mort à la lisière des marécages, le visage figé dans une absolue terreur. Autour du cadavre, on relève les empreintes d'un chien gigantesque. Ami et médecin de la victime, James Mortimer sait que son patient était troublé par une vieille malédiction : un chien viendrait de l'enfer pour réclamer les âmes des descendants des Baskerville. Il décide de faire appel à Sherlock Holmes pour protéger Henry, l'héritier de la victime. En acceptant, le fameux détective ignore qu'il met en péril sa propre vie.
Paru en 1902, ce roman est la plus célèbre des aventures d'Holmes. Il est baigné d'éléments fantastiques qui amènent le fameux détective à douter de ses pouvoirs de déduction. Même le docteur Watson a du mal à le suivre ! La résolution du mystère mettra fin à ses interrogations. Cette fois-ci, le maître de la logique s'en tire de justesse... --Lisa B. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Le Horla'
Le narrateur mène une vie tranquille dans sa maison au bord de la Seine, en Normandie, lorsque d'étranges phénomènes commencent à se produire. C'est la carafe d'eau sur sa table de nuit qui est bue, des objets qui disparaissent ou se brisent, une fleur cueillie par une main invisible... Peu à peu, le narrateur acquiert la certitude qu'un être surnaturel et immatériel vit chez lui, se nourrit de ses provisions. Pire encore, cet être, qu'il baptise le Horla, a tout pouvoir sur lui, un pouvoir grandissant... S'il quitte sa maison, ce pouvoir disparaît ; mais bientôt, il ne peut plus sortir de chez lui, il est prisonnier. D'où vient cet esprit ? Du Horla ou de l'homme, l'un des deux doit périr.
Le Horla comme les contes fantastiques écrits par Maupassant à la fin de sa vie, alors qu'il sombrait dans la folie, joue délicieusement avec nos nerfs en traitant de thèmes très actuels comme l'angoisse, la hantise du suicide, la peur de l'invisible. --Céline Darner [via]
