Описание: In the American mega-city of the future, a group of charming ladies is meeting regularly to entertain themselves. One of their most diverting games is an attempt to raise the Devil through ancient rituals. Of course they dont believe theyll actually succeed. Nor do they, precisely; for rather than summoning an old demon, these enchanting ladies manage to create a new one: Golem 100, a manifestation of the collective unconscious that goes on a rampage of rape, torture, and murder. Only the ladies dont see the connection between the grim events and what they have done and the Golem continues to grow. Three people join forces to track down the monster: Gretchen Nunn, a woman whose vision extends beyond its normal senses; Blaise Shima, her chemist lover, and the doubting Police Subadar Inddni. Their hunt leads them through real and subliminal worlds of dazzling visual and verbal intensity, as Bester presents a new form of narration in a mad race through a text that has become a series of graphic images laced with dialogue. As the hunters venture deeper and deeper into the Golems subworld, the chase becomes more thrillingand the monsters true identity becomes a secret some would prefer not to have revealed. Science fiction, fantasy, psychological thriller, innovative literature, Golem 100 fulfills Alfred Besters promise as a significant writer for our time and beyond.

A monster tour of the Golem narrative across various cultural and historical landscapes
In the 1910s and 1920s, a "golem cult" swept across Europe and the U.S., later surfacing in Israel. Why did this story of a powerful clay monster molded and animated by a rabbi to protect his community become so popular and pervasive? The golem has appeared in a remarkable range of popular media: from the Yiddish theater to American comic books, from German silent film to Quentin Tarantino movies. This book showcases how the golem was remolded, throughout the war-torn twentieth century, as a muscular protector, injured combatant, and even murderous avenger. This evolution of the golem narrative is made comprehensible by, and also helps us to better understand, one of the defining aspects of the last one hundred years: mass warfare and its ancillary technologies.
In the twentieth century the golem became a figure of war. It represented the chaos of warfare, the automation of war technologies, and the devastation wrought upon soldiers' bodies and psyches. Golem: Modern Wars and Their Monsters draws on some of the most popular and significant renditions of this story in order to unravel the paradoxical coincidence of wartime destruction and the fantasy of artificial creation. Due to its aggressive and rebellious sides, the golem became a means for reflection about how technological progress has altered human lives, as well as an avenue for experimentation with the media and art forms capable of expressing the monstrosity of war.

What if your school wasn't like other schools? What if obeying the rules became a way to survive? What if your friends were replaced and no one could tell?
When Sophie Clearwater joins Thornberry Woods High School it doesn't take her long to realise that something isn't right. Something about the prefects' impeccable behaviour; the creepiness of the teachers and malevolence of the head... the way that children seem to lose their personalities...
With new friends Lucy and Jack, it takes a great deal of courage and trust to discover the dark secrets contained deep within the school. But now that they know them, what are they going to do?
