Beyond the bounds of the universe, in the formless, endless nowhere between worlds, there is a place that is somewhere. An anomaly of something in the nothing. It is part ship, part house, and it can create portals to almost anywhere. Its inhabitants call it the Oddity. A strange woman lives in the Oddity. Her name is Professor Odd, and she is a seasoned multiversal explorer. Her best friend also lives there. Her name is Elo, and she looks like a golden wolf-except she can stand on her hind legs and speak like a human. There is also Alister, a former university student who fled his home world when the sinister Canary Company marked him for elimination. And until recently there was Dave, the ten-armed, one-eyed, bright green tentacle monster with impressive knowledge of the multiverse. But in the fight for control of the Canary Company Dave vanished, leaving only an enigmatic message in psychoactive slime. Now the Professor, Elo, and Alister, are on a mission to find their lost friend, but in an "almost infinite" multiverse filled with hidden variables, incorrigibly curious aliens, and surprisingly significant bees, nothing is for certain and everything is more than it first appears-even the one place they all thought they knew inside and out: the Oddity itself.Jump into Professor Odd: The Complete Season Three for six new episodes of excitement, discovery, and wonder: 13The Angels of Tyson 414The City Under Ice15The Dreams of Doctor Morag16Flight of Xifoptero17Eyes in the Deep18The Last Voyage of the OdysseanFollowed by the bonus short story "Kumallini n."

Professor Odd is a woman with a tentacle-arm growing out of the base of her skull. She likes colorful wigs, fuzzy scarves, pizza, cake, and exploring alternate universes. Elo is an anthropomorphic wolf who likes chicken soup, cheese, and following Professor Odd on her adventures. Alister Bane was a student at university until he was kidnapped by the sinister Canary Company, and was subsequently rescued by Professor Odd. No one really knows what Dave is, but everyone agrees he's a good tentacle-monster-alien-thing to have on your side when events go haywire, as they are prone to do when, for example, you visit a temporally flexible universe on the verge of implosion, or a magical spaceship that has wandered into the midst of a war, or when the Canary Company finally catches up to you. Welcome to the multiverse of Professor Odd, where the wildest possibilities are only the beginning of the adventure The Complete Season Two collects episodes 7-12 of this high-flying science fiction series. It contains: The Dogs of Canary Island Chronostrophe Star Walkers The Thousand Songs Davebot and Cerberus Retired (parts 1 and 2) It also features exclusive illustrations and the bonus short story "The Rats of Alnitak."

From present-day England to far-future Africa to worlds teetering on the edge of existence, Professor Odd and her world-hopping ship, the Oddity, have traveled the multiverse. She and her friends-the erstwhile university student, Alister Bane, the super-intelligent mutant wolf, Elo, and the bright green tentacle monster whose name is unpronounceable but allows himself to be called Dave-find themselves rescuing magicians and deprogramming supercomputers, fighting killer robots and befriending dinosaurs. But the greatest mystery is the identity of the Professor herself. And to learn that secret, the crew must travel to the universe where it all began: Professor Odd's own home. Beyond your wildest dreams is only the beginning in this, the first complete season of Professor Odd, featuring episodes 1 through 6 of the all-out science fiction adventure series: The False Student The Slowly Dying Planet The Promethean Predicament The Elder Machine The Dragons of Geda and The Monster's Daughter (parts 1 and 2) Now with all-new illustrations, and the bonus short story "Amar and Desta's Big Day Out."

What do you do when your drastic measures to save your own life result in you becoming a strange, half-undead creature that even other monsters are afraid of? If you're Jill Hamilton, you start a company dedicated to the study of those monsters-and anything else that looks remotely magical.What do you do when you lose your best friend when she falls off a bridge in Purgatory? If you're Clara Nordstern, you try to find the next thing that needs doing. Even if it means confronting your worst fears and your deepest guilt.What do you do when you get sucked into Hell by the demon Lilith? If you're Selene Shields, you start walking. One foot in front of the other. Even if it means going right through the center of Hell.The world of Driving Arcana, always subverted by magic, is becoming openly mythic, and Jill, Clara, and Selene must navigate a landscape increasingly compromised by powers beyond anyone's expectation-but not, Jill would point out, beyond potential understanding.This is Wheel 3 of Driving Arcana, Hope in the Forest of Despair. It follows Wheel 2, Paving the Road to Hell, and is comprised of Lightning Does Strike Twice, Moonrise Over Hades, The Hour I First Believed, Hope in the Forest of Despair, Cloth of Man, Blood and Fury, Fear Not, A Cold Day in Hell, and The Great Gate.

Welcome to a world where the natural and the supernatural mingle-sometimes with devastating results. Selene Shields and Clara Nordstern know this world, and have seen everything from werewolves to witches, ghosts, ghouls, and even an angel. But they've never seen anything quite like Jill Hamilton, a grad student from UC Santa Cruz, whose reaction to losing her boyfriend in a rabid chimera attack is to go out and study the very things normal humans are supposed to ignore. So begins the saga of Driving Arcana: three women in a big truck, chasing unicorns, interviewing vampires, and hunting monsters-to fight evil, protect humanity, but mostly, for science.

What do you do when the supernatural world crashes-suddenly, violently, devastatingly-into yours? If you are Jill Hamilton, you drop out of UC Santa Cruz, use your inherited savings to hire a couple monster hunters as bodyguards, get in your dead boyfriend's truck, and you go out and study it. Of course. Even if your bodyguards tell you some things are better left un-studied. Even if unicorns are real and bloodthirsty. Even if summoning old, forgotten gods has detrimental effects on the state of reality. Because beyond killing monsters and helping people, Jill Hamilton wants to understand why the world she thought she knew is actually so much deeper, darker, and downright magical than it has any right to be. Welcome to the world of Driving Arcana, where even the painfully boring and mundane aspects of everyday life are underlaid by a subtle current of inexplicable magic, and three women are on a mission to find out how it all works. Even if two of them would really rather not. Wheel 2 of Driving Arcana, Paving the Road to Hell follows Wheel 1, By Moon and Star. It collects all the stories from Rotations Four, Five and Six, and adds "The Five Bodies of Tamerlain Pierce" at the end, which serves as a link between this Wheel and the next.

Lucena Clarian Ashmoor has never hatched a feathered serpent from an egg. She has never befriended a sombulus-a monster that looks like a giant spider, eats darkness, and likes reading books. She has never ridden a magic horse. She has spent all her life with relatives who would prefer she were elsewhere, and so sent her away to the nastiest school imaginable. There she has been bullied, and told so many times that she was dumb and fat and useless that she almost came to believe it. She has never been popular, and never done anything remotely heroic.All this changes the night a vampire attacks her school and Lucena is tumbled into a world wider, darker, more magical and more mysterious than any she could have imagined. Here she will find the forgotten egg, meet the shade-eating spider, ride the black mare with coal-fire eyes, fight vampires, dance with fairies, and find-in time-that she might be a hero after all.

Corianne Birch has come out of retirement to prove once again that no hand is as adept as hers at dramatizing the adventures of Bouragner Felpz. Although when one's subject is an immortal magician whose adventures involve giant eagles and magical wolves, arcane murders, dead gods, and otherworldly visitors, there is less need for dramatization and more for a steady, clear voice full of wit and humor-which Birch provides with assured skill. All who despaired of ever reading more tales of Felpz at the conclusion of Volume II must rejoice at this third installment, which presents three scintillating short novels published together for the first time. It also includes the special addition of an introduction written by Felpz himself, and a never-before-seen short story from a surprising new perspective.

Something is amiss at the Deep Bore Research Base in Antarctica, and though Lieutenant Hutter would dearly love to get back to brewing moonshine and wooing the surly Technician Spalecki, it quickly becomes clear that their remote and vulnerable installation has become the target of an alien invasion so deadly they need to put out a multiversal distress call. But when help arrives, it is a colorful woman with a frighteningly average assistant and a talking dog. There is also something in a barrel called Dave. "Davebot" is the eleventh episode in the fantastic adventures of Professor Odd and company: Elo the mutant wolf, Alister the misplaced university student, and most of all, Dave, the bright green tentacle creature.
