From the bestselling novel series by Steig Larson come these English translations of the phenomenal French comics adaptations!
Facing prison time for slander, discredited journalist Mikel Blompkvist is hired by a reclusive industrialist to investigate a unresolved family disappearance. Aided by the mysterious computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, the two soon discover a brutal trail of murder, deception and dark secrets leading right up to the present day.
Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge--against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

Just after starting high school, Ruri gets hit with the biggest reveal of her life—she’s a dragon! After releasing a burst of electricity during class, Ruri officially has her next dragon trait: electrostatic discharge! But not everyone wants to be friends with a dragon girl. Can Ruri soften up a steely classmate? Or will her attempts go up in flames?
White No-Face, Xie Lian’s greatest fear and most hated enemy, has arrived…or so it seems. While the ghost with the half-crying, half-smiling mask is somewhere nearby, the creature is elusive as always, taunting Xie Lian from just out of reach and promising the total destruction of everything he holds dear.
As Xie Lian confronts the trauma of his last encounter with the terrifying ghost, Hua Cheng will do anything in his power to protect him. But White No-Face’s identity and purpose are not the only mysteries to unravel, as Hua Cheng also has a history in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath Mount Tonglu.
Will Xie Lian finally discover the full connection they share―and learn the true depths of Hua Cheng’s devotion?

With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. 'I read it and reread
it, and wept and laughed and trembled with horror which at all
times assails me yet'. With its strange, imaginative blend of
horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert W.
Chambers' The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird
fiction. This series of vaguely connected stories is linked by the
presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings fright,
madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of
futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious
poison. Dare you read it? This collection has been called the most
important book in American supernatural fiction between Poe and the
moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu mythos, whose
own fiction was greatly influenced by this book stated that The
King in Yellow 'achieves notable heights of cosmic fear'.
