![]() ![]() Author: Millar Martin Publisher: Soft Skull Pr Now eighteen, Scottish teenage werewolf Kalix MacRinnalch is settling in London, though she still struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-abuse. Her new friends support her ? and all is fine until the Guild of Werewolf Hunters start picking off her clan, one by one. Most of the Scottish Werewolf Clan have a very low opinion of Kalix Macrinnalch, youngest daughter of the Thane. There is little sympathy for her illiteracy, her substance abuse, her self-harming, her eating disorder, her anxiety and depression and her propensity for extreme violence. Safe from her clan in London, and living with two friendly students, she's been much calmer. If only she were allowed to live quietly, she might get on top of her problems. Unfortunately, that's difficult for the young werewolf. She's still the number one target for the werewolf hunters, and they're stepping up their efforts to find her. And no matter how Kalix tries to make her life more normal, there will always come a time when, under threat, her insanity and battle-madness will descend on her, and the skinny young girl will again transform into the most feared and ferocious werewolf in the country. € 16,60

![]() ![]() Author: Millar Martin Publisher: Soft Skull Pr Elfish's friends live hand to mouth in a bleak section of London, squatting, seeing local bands, getting high, and feeling bitter over lost ambitions. Except Elfish, who pursues exactly what she wants with demonic single-mindedness. Elfish rarely eats, never washes, and is devoted to Queen Mab ? both the Shakespearian fairy, ?deliverer of dreams,” and her thrash metal band, formed with her attractive but dimwitted lover, Mo. When Mo jilts her and calls his new band Queen Mab, Elfish is determined to keep the name for her own band and sets about getting revenge. To stop Mo, Elfish is obliged to steal, cheat, and lie to everyone around her. Happily, Elfish is a compulsive liar, and quite fond of cheating and stealing. On the night Mo's band is to play, he and his friends laugh cruelly around her. The people she has deceived turn on her viciously. It is up to Elfish whether to give up hope or to rally, proving to all the power of her will. A fearless stage diver and shameless purveyor of bad sex, Elfish stands alone. Surrounded by people who have given up hope, only she will not put down her guitar. Only she refuses to stop dreaming. € 12,50

![]() ![]() Author: Millar Martin Publisher: Soft Skull Pr There is something about Lux. He’s a thief and a liar; he is selfish and self-absorbed and hopelessly vain. But while he looks like Lana Turner and romances like a true Casanova, Lux is actually more like a bumbling, oblivious Mary Tyler Moore. Amid shouting mobs, police shields, and the hurled bricks of the ’80s Brixton riots, Lux is searching for Pearl—the love of his life. Her home has been burned down by a stray petrol bomb, and she’s searching for sanctuary along with her friend Nicky. Nicky is traumatized after having killed her computer—her best friend—and is herself being followed by Happy Science PLC. It is their plan to breed a superior next generation by implanting the sperm of genius men inside beautiful women. She knows too much about the plan. Lux is helped in his quest by Kalia, a castaway of Heaven attempting to get back in God’s good graces by performing one million good deeds over countless lifetimes. There’s also a thrash metal band, a riot-party, past lives, and KY. Lots of KY. € 12,50

![]() ![]() Author: Millar Martin Publisher: Soft Skull Pr Glasgow, 1972. All the coolest kids in town are lining up for Led Zeppelin tickets. Overhead, a Zeppelin approaches. Its passengers?Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Hank Williams?think it's worth leaving heaven to see the greatest rock band in the world. Even the fairies are fans. Meanwhile, nerdy Martin and his equally nerdy best friend Greg have overactive imaginations. When they aren't fighting the monstrous hordes of Xotha, they are competing for the attentions of a popular (read: unattainable) girl named Suzy. She's not likely to ditch Zed, the hippest boy in the school, for the likes of them, is she? Then again, with Led Zeppelin on the way, it feels like anything can happen. Suzy, Led Zeppelin, and Me takes readers on a ride through Martin's angsty and fumbling youth, when Led Zeppelin comes to Glasgow and rocks Martin's world, and through his angstridden and fumbling adult years, when he learns what can't be denied: love may break your heart, but Led Zeppelin will never let you down. € 12,50

![]() ![]() Author: Millar Martin Publisher: Fazi Kalix ha diciassette anni ed è una ragazza ribelle, una ragazza lupo. Ricchissima e nobile, ultima discendente della più antica dinastia di licantropi scozzesi, i MacRinnalch, ha trasgredito le regole della famiglia innamorandosi di Gawain, giovane lupo mannaro di umili origini, e adesso si nasconde, inseguita dai sicari, tra le strade di Londra. Vestita di stracci e magrissima ai limiti dell'anoressia, per tenersi su sorseggia del laudano da cui ormai è dipendente. Certa di aver tagliato per sempre i ponti con la sua famiglia, Kalix si troverà suo malgrado coinvolta nella lotta per la successione alla reggia dei MacRinnalch, circondata da una serie di personaggi stravaganti: sua sorella, una stilista di tendenza dotata di poteri magici, le cugine, dissolute musiciste della scena punk londinese, e due giovani umani, studenti universitari, che si prenderanno cura di lei, ammaliati fin dal primo istante da questa creatura straordinaria. Ambiziosi, romantici e ribelli, i giovani licantropi di Martin Millar si muovono con scaltrezza in una società contemporanea, ricca di conflitti, e proprio come i ragazzi di oggi dimostrano di aver capito il valore assoluto dell'amicizia e della solidarietà oltre ogni altra cosa. € 19,50
