New from author Melissa Woods, Alive? is a heart-pounding adventure with suspenseful plot twists, complex characters, and a dash of dark humor. Surviving the zompocalypse is tricky when you play for both teams. And the real zombies? They still want to eat her, too… Living with survivors who have no idea will be even harder. Violet’s body is undergoing changes, and suddenly the taste of human flesh is not as revolting as it once sounded. Unfortunately for Violet-she’s not exactly alive, either. Walking home after a night of partying, she manages to let one of the Dead take a chunk out of her only hours after they’ve begun walking again. Too bad Violet has never been great at following the rules. YA Post-Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, ZombiesĮveryone knows the first rule of the zombie apocalypse: Don’t. Fraser's Flashman is an antihero who often runs away from danger. Fraser decided to write the story of Flashman's later life, in which the school bully would be identified as an "illustrious Victorian soldier", experiencing many of the 19th-century wars and adventures of the British Empire and rising to high rank in the British Army, to be acclaimed as a great warrior, while still remaining "a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward-and, oh yes, a toady." In the papers – which are purported to have been written by Flashman and discovered only after his death – he describes his own dishonourable conduct with complete candour. In Tom Brown's School Days (1857), Flashman is portrayed as a notorious Rugby School bully who persecutes Tom Brown and is finally expelled for drunkenness, at which point he simply disappears. Flashman was played by Malcolm McDowell in the Richard Lester 1975 film Royal Flash. Harry Flashman appears in a series of 12 of Fraser's books, collectively known as The Flashman Papers, with covers illustrated by Arthur Barbosa and Gino D’Achille. Sir Harry Paget Flashman VC, KCB, KCIE is a fictional character created by Thomas Hughes (1822–1896) in the semi-autobiographical Tom Brown's School Days (1857) and later developed by George MacDonald Fraser (1925–2008).

Ironically, Snorri was killed in his cellar in Iceland in 1241 on the instigation of the king of Norway, as a result of political intrigue. His work surveys the content, style and meters of traditional Viking poetry and includes a lengthy poem of Snorrie's own, honoring the king of Norway. Over a period of twenty years Snorri Sturluson, scholar, courtier and poet, compiled the prose Edda as a textbook for young poets who wished to praise kings. This edition captures the magisterial sweep and startling psychological complexity of the Old Icelandic original. Its time scale spans the eons from the world's creation to its violent end. Its gods live with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves, superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is the source of most of what we know of Norse mythology.
