Joe Harris

ONI PRESS PROUDLY PRESENTS THE RETURN OF A MODERN SUPERNATURAL CLASSIC! From acclaimed writer Joe Harris (X-Files, Snowfall) and Eisner Award–winning artist Steve Rolston (Queen & Country, Emiko Superstar) comes a brand-new collected edition of their chilling post–Cold War–era thriller Ghost Projekt. In the frozen depths of Siberia lies a long-forgotten Soviet research facility. Abandoned at the end of the Cold War, it once housed a terrifying experiment—something powerful, something dangerous . . . and something that refuses to stay buried. When the weapon disappears into the hands of thieves who don’t fully understand what they’ve unleashed, US weapons inspector Will Haley is sent to investigate. Teaming up with Russian federal agent Anya Romanova, the two uncover a dark legacy of secrets, science, and spirits that neither nation ever intended to see the light of day. But the past does not die quietly—and in the shadows of old wars, ghosts still walk . . .

Time. Space. Existence. The end of all things. The beginning of something new. The reconciliation of decisions. This is what awaits our fatal remains of civilization at the last black hole at the end of time. The Neo-human, Harmony, Multitude, Remnant, Echo, and the Time Traveler all are summoned by chance, fate, or technology to discuss the trials and tribulations of the stardust ancestors they arose from. But what is there to do, when all of time is ending, when the last particles of the universe are dissipating and moving on from the realm? That is a question for our unlikely conclave to decide. What type of legacy will they, can they, leave a dying universe?

This textbook provides readers with a working knowledge of the modern theory of complex projective algebraic curves. Also known as compact Riemann surfaces, such curves shaped the development of algebraic geometry itself, making this theory essential background for anyone working in or using this discipline. Examples underpin the presentation throughout, illustrating techniques that range across classical geometric theory, modern commutative algebra, and moduli theory. The book begins with two chapters covering basic ideas, including maps to projective space, invertible sheaves, and the Riemann-Roch theorem. Subsequent chapters alternate between a detailed study of curves up to genus six and more advanced topics such as Jacobians, Hilbert schemes, moduli spaces of curves, Severi varieties, dualizing sheaves, and linkage of curves in 3-space. Three chapters treat the refinements of the Brill-Noether theorem, including applications and a complete proof of the basic result. Two chapters on free resolutions, rational normal scrolls, and canonical curves build context for Green's conjecture. The book culminates in a study of Hilbert schemes of curves through examples. A historical appendix by Jeremy Gray captures the early development of the theory of algebraic curves. Exercises, illustrations, and open problems accompany the text throughout. The Practice of Algebraic Curves offers a masterclass in theory that has become essential in areas ranging from algebraic geometry itself to mathematical physics and other applications. Suitable for students and researchers alike, the text bridges the gap from a first course in algebraic geometry to advanced literature and active research.

Phenomenon, conspiracy, or delusion? “Kelvin” Melvin Reyes was only three years old when Spontaneous Human Combustion took his father from him. He’s since devoted his life to exploring the mystery behind the phenomenon, searching for a pattern and predictors that he might save others from that same fiery fate. But the closer he gets to his goal, the further things lead down a well of secrets, horrors, and terrible truths. Is SHC real? And if so, can it be stopped? What follows is a supernatural trip down a suburban rabbit hole as Melvin’s quest to honor his father’s memory unlocks the mysteries of his town’s dark past and his own family secrets. From acclaimed writer and filmmaker Joe Harris (Ghost Projekt, The X-Files) comes a slow-burn horror thriller of obsession, belief, and restitution.

Grady Hendrix's We Sold Our Souls meets The 27 Club in the supernatural horror mystery ROCKSTARS where music, murder, magic, mayhem, and mystery collide. THEY SOLD THEIR SOULS FOR ROCK 'N' ROLL When the music-scene murders start happening again, Jackie Mayer is ready. He knows the secrets of the past. Or, least he thinks he does. But the gods of rock are darker than he thought, and the conspiracy he uncovers is more insidious than he could have imagined. Rock fan Jackie Mayer possesses an uncanny, almost unearthly talent: he's able to connect the legends, secrets, curses, whispers, mysteries, and conspiracies in the music world. He knows musicians hunger for fame and fortune - making them easy marks. Old Scratch likes nothing better than the burn of desire - whether a 19th century violin virtuoso, a young Blues man down in Memphis, or an occult-obsessed guitar genius. When a pattern of unsolved 1970s music-scene murders resumes in present-day Los Angeles, no one sees the connection except Jackie. Together with muck-raking music journalist Dorothy Buell, they soon uncover a vast conspiracy involving a legendary band, demonic possession, and sacrifices to the dark gods of rock. Jackie is drawn into the underbelly of the music world - and he's going to have a devil of a time getting out alive. Collects the complete ten-issue series

Ninth century Norway is a land of bloody civil strife, fanatical religious upheaval, and exploration. At the center of this historic tale of war, peril, and atonement is the warrior Kveldulf Bjalfisson, a father who in a desperate attempt to take back his son from King Harald, his sworn enemy, fully embraces his addiction to the parasite Garm, with terrifying results.

In 2011, the worst earthquake in Japan’s history breached the costal Fukushima Daiichi power plant, causing three of its four nuclear reactors to melt down. Forced evacuations followed as the event released enough radioactive material into the air, ground and water to force officials to set up an “Exclusion Zone”, effectively sealing off the land for what may well be the rest of human history. But that’s only if you don’t have the right connections and the desire to experience catastrophe, failure and misery as it really is! Enter DISASTER INC., an underground tourism outfit intent on helping people of means, secrets and agendas explore the dark corners and off-map attractions typical tour groups won’t go to (and various laws don’t allow). Only Fukushima, known for its famed warrior class and their protection of the land and people dating back to ancient times, is full of deadly surprises and old ghosts.

As the Cold War widened in the 1950s, military hero George Kutter and his family trained to be legacy survivors in the event of an atomic exchange with the Soviet Union. Prepared to wait out the aftermath of nuclear war, they were subjected to myriad simulations, scenarios and stresses in hopes of helping salvage something of their family, their country and humanity from the ashes of a conflict with the Russians that never happened. But when a group of hunting buddies stumble upon an old fallout shelter buried in the present-day Pennsylvania wilderness and end up locked inside, they quickly learn that “truth” is just a matter of conditioning, while a crash course in paranoia, propaganda and control awaits. What was the nature of the secret Archonite initiative? What lengths did the United States go to in order to prepare for all-out war and its aftermath? What did the Kutter Family endure in perpetration for their duty? And if World War III never broke out… why are they still down there?
