Harland Miller Bücher

Sommer 1980, der Yorkshire Ripper hat die Straßen leer gefegt, und New Wave ist angesagt. Im Zentrum der lokalen Szene steht Ziggy Hero, ein David-Bowie-Imitator aus Halifax, dem Kid Glover sofort verfällt. Als Ziggy plötzlich verschwindet, ist Kid der Einzige, der hartnäckig nach ihm sucht. 'Ziggy Hero' ist die witzige und bewegende Geschichte über das Aufwachsen in den Achtzigern, über den Unterschied von Groß-Rauskommen und einfach Rauskommen, und über das Lebensgefühl einer Zeit, in der HipHop höchstens ein Name für ein Plüschhäschen war.

The artist explores the influence of his childhood and home life on his acclaimed work, characterized by clever wordplay and skillful brushwork. Through a reflective narrative, he examines how his experiences over the decades have shaped his artistic journey.

A collection of Edgar Allan Poe's writings, including The Fall of the House of Usher—the inspiration for the Netflix series from Mike Flanagan, the director of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass! This selection of critical writings, short fiction and poetry demonstrates Poe’s intense interest in aesthetic issues and the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. “The Fall of the House of Usher” describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In “The Tell Tale Heart”, a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Cask of Amontillado” explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate.
