They seek the forest haunting Aliyah’s dream, hoping for answers about the elf’s past and unique abilities—but first, they need to traverse a world haunted by Fragments, dangerous shards that can possess travellers. Their journey has brought them to Alleaze, a coastal city from which they hope to book passage across the ocean. But Alleaze’s regular life has stopped, giving way to the excitement of the Sea Spirit Festival, a weeks-long event. Forcefully grounded, the Wagon crew is more than happy to partake in the local festivities, brimming with games, seaside delicacies, and legends about the Bay. But the Festival is more than one big celebration: it is a crucial time during which the Bay’s Spirit guides its residents to their new life path and chooses a Storm Catcher, a divine hero meant to revitalize the Spirit’s strength. When the Festival winds down and no Storm Catcher has been chosen, panic washes over Alleaze and the Wagon crew finds itself embroiled in the subsequent chaos. In order to help Alleaze find its local hero and be allowed to sail out, they will need to confront the truth behind the legend of the Sea Spirit—and survive it.

Download or read book Cloud Town written by Daniel McCloskey and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting middle-grade graphic novel about best friends, giant robots, and monsters from another universe! In Daniel McCloskey’s debut graphic novel, best friends Pen and Olive live in Cloud Town, an impoverished community on Floating Island, a mysterious landmass that drifts above the earth and happens to sit dangerously close to the Rip—a tear in the fabric of the universe. No big deal or anything. While Pen is brash and brave, Olive is quiet, kind, and also fearful of bullies at school. That is, at least until the day they are nearly squashed by a Care Corp Storm Catcher, a giant android built to protect Cloud Town and the rest of Floating Island from Hurricanes, monsters that travel across the Rip. It isn’t the event itself that changes the girls’ relationship. It isn’t the fear of death that drives them apart, or the questionable decision-making that leads Pen to drag Olive into the cab of the crashed robot. It’s the fact that Olive can move the 90-foot-tall machine and Pen can’t. Care Corp recruits Olive to train as a pilot, so that she can protect Floating Island when the next attack comes. It’s a role reversal, for which neither of the girls are prepared. McCloskey’s original art style shines in this wild adventure—it sets the tone for a story that is not only filled with fantastic monsters and mad science, but also the journey of two friends growing up and growing apart in a border town on the edge of the possible.

Book excerpt: FANG Volume 2 was originally released on Halloween 2005--a black, blood-soaked volume of creepy, spooky doom! And a bit of hanky-panky besides. Stormcatcher shines with two very different tales of ghostly visitations, each chilling in their own way and each delivering its own brand of uneasy peace. Whyte Yote takes us into the passionate, predatory world of the modern, urban, dance-club-prowling but eternally hungry werewolf and Ben Goodridge, who would later join Bad Dog books as editor starting with FANG Volume 4 gives us a tryptich of supernatural stories brilliantly evoking the mood of the last significant fin-du-siecle. From the dark and disturbing to the quiet and pensive, from the clever to the traditional--and with the familiar gay erotica strewn throughout--FANG Volume 2 showed that Volume 1's success was no mere fluke.
