Coraline

Rencontrer les Grands Anciens dans les rues de Londres, goûter la chair de l'oiseau-soleil d'Égypte, survivre aux antivirus de la Matrice, voilà un aperçu des voyages auxquels nous invite Neil Gaiman, dans autant de fables tragiques et grotesques, de poèmes doux et cruels, de récits terribles et merveilleux, où réalité et fantasme s'accouplent à l'ombre de Conan Doyle, H.P. Lovecraft, C.S. Lewis ou encore Ray Bradbury. Une mosaïque de sons, d'odeurs, d'idées, d'échos, de souvenirs éphémères, de choses fragiles à garder précieusement dans le grenier de sa mémoire.

Des choses fragiles

Coraline Jones et ses parents viennent d'emménager dans une maison partagée en plusieurs appartements. Le lendemain de son installation, Coraline part explorer son nouvel univers. Après avoir entendu des bruits étranges et vu une ombre détaler dans un couloir, elle ouvre une porte condamnée et se retrouve dans un appartement identique au sien. Enfin, presque identique... Elle y trouve en effet un double bizarre de ses parents, qui n'ont pas très envie de la voir s'en aller...

Reading age approx. 9 yrs +.The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close. The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own. Only it's different. At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself. Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight readers with his first novel for all ages.

The American Gods Quartet

« Il est des choses qui nous perturbent, des mots ou des idées qui surgissent sous nos pas comme des trappes, nous précipitant de notre monde de sécurité et de bon sens en un lieu beaucoup plus sombre et moins accueillant. »C'est là le chemin que Neil Gaiman nous propose d'arpenter à travers ces vingt-quatre nouvelles, contes et poèmes, en s'affranchissant des genres pour ne garder que la substantifique moelle d'un imaginaire tour à tour sombre ou flamboyant.

Signal d'alerte

Nobody Owens était presque encore un bébé quand sa famille a péri sous la lame du plus célèbre des tueurs de Londres, le Jack. La nuit du drame, il est cependant parvenu à se réfugier dans un cimetière, où un couple de fantômes l'a recueilli et l'a élevé comme l'un des leurs, sous l'oeil bienveillant de Silas, son ami ni vivant ni mort. Mais cette période heureuse est aujourd'hui révolue, car le Jack rôde toujours, et l'heure est venue d'aller l'affronter une bonne fois pour toutes. À l'extérieur.

L'étrange vie de Nobody Owens

Fables et réflexions suit le Roi des Rêves à travers neuf contes remarquables, où il insuffle la vie aux brumes du passé et aux cauchemars du présent. Dans cet ouvrage, rois et espions, empereurs et acteurs, corneilles et loups-garous nous invitent à partager leur histoire et leurs rêves de vie, d'amour, de puissance ou de ténèbres.
