¿Quién imaginaría que la cura perfecta ronronea?
En un oscuro callejón de Kioto se esconde la Clínica Kokoro, un lugar envuelto en misterio al que solo llegan quienes más lo necesitan. Su peculiar tratamiento consiste en "prescribir" gatos, una solución que desconcierta a los pacientes, pero que guarda el potencial de cambiar sus vidas.
Guiados por el excéntrico Dr. Nike y su malhumorada enfermera Chitose, los pacientes buscan respuestas: un joven administrador, cómo recuperar la alegría tras perder su empleo; una madre agotada, la forma de reconectar con su hija; una diseñadora, el descanso que tanto necesita; y una geisha, el consuelo tras una pérdida dolorosa. Cada uno enfrenta sus conflictos internos mientras encuentra en sus compañeros felinos una inesperada guía, demostrando que, a veces, el amor y la compañía de un gato pueden ser el primer paso hacia la sanación.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Who would have thought the perfect cure purrs?
In a dark alley in Kyoto lies the Kokoro Clinic, a mysterious place that only those in true need manage to find. Its unique treatment involves "prescribing" cats, a solution that baffles patients but holds the potential to change their lives.
Guided by the eccentric Dr. Nike and his moody nurse, Chitose, the patients seek answers: a young administrator, trying to regain joy after losing his job; an exhausted mother, searching for a way to reconnect with her daughter; a designer, desperate for the rest she craves; and a geisha, longing for solace after a painful loss. Each one faces their inner struggles while finding an unexpected guide in their feline companions, proving that sometimes, the love and presence of a cat can be the first step toward healing.
Khaled Hosseini escribe un relato profundamente conmovedor sobre los refugiados, un homenaje a los millones de familias a las que la guerra y la persecución han separado y obligado a abandonar sus hogares.
Mi querido Marwan: veo tu perfil a la luz de esta luna, hijo mío, la caligrafía de tus pestañas cerradas en un sueño inocente.Te dije: «Dame la mano. Nada malo va a pasar.»
En una orilla bañada por la luz de la luna, un padre acuna a su hijo dormido, esperando el alba y la llegada de un barco. Le habla sobre el largo verano de su infancia, evocando la casa de su abuelo en Siria, los olivos que se mecen con la brisa, los balidos de las cabras de su abuela, el tintineo de las ollas. Recuerda también el bullicio de la ciudad de Homs, con sus calles atestadas, su mezquita y su gran zoco, días antes de que el cielo escupiera bombas y se vieran obligados a huir.
Cuando el sol amanezca, ellos y quienes los rodean tendrán que reunir sus posesiones y embarcarse en un peligroso viaje a través del mar en busca de un nuevo hogar.
DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH
A short, powerful, illustrated book written by beloved novelist Khaled Hosseini in response to the current refugee crisis, Sea Prayer is composed in the form of a letter, from a father to his son, on the eve of their journey. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous sea-crossing that lies before them. It is also a vivid portrait of their life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of that city's swift transformation from a home into a deadly war zone. Impelled to write this story by the haunting image of young Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed upon the beach in Turkey in September 2015, Hosseini hopes to pay tribute to the millions of families, like Kurdi's, who have been splintered and forced from home by war and persecution, and he will donate author proceeds from this book to the UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation to help fund lifesaving relief efforts to help refugees around the globe.

EL LIBRO DEL AÑO PARA VULTURE, LITHUB, THE GUARDIAN Y COSMOPOLITAN.
Llevamos décadas intentando comprender a los sociópatas y su psique. Por primera vez, una de ellas se confiesa.
Desde muy pequeña, Patric se dio cuenta de que su presencia provocaba cierta incomodidad. Sospechaba que la causa era su incapacidad para sentir emociones tan primarias como el miedo o la culpa, y la empatía era un término que le resultaba ajeno. Así que empezó a hacerse pasar por una más. Pero la incomprensión del resto y su rechazo hacia las personas como ella acabó siendo insoportable. Con la intención de sentir lo mismo que sentía su entorno, se puso a robar, mentir e incluso apuñaló a una compañera de clase con un lápiz.

BOOK OF THE YEAR BY VULTURE, LITHUB, THE GUARDIAN, AND COSMOPOLITAN.
For decades, we've tried to understand sociopaths and their psyche. For the first time, one of them confesses.
From a very young age, Patric realized that her presence made people uncomfortable. She suspected the reason was her inability to feel such basic emotions as fear or guilt, and empathy was a concept completely foreign to her. So, she began pretending to be like everyone else. But the misunderstanding and rejection she faced became unbearable. In an attempt to experience the same emotions as those around her, she turned to stealing, lying, and even stabbing a classmate with a pencil.

"De manera interesante y provocativa, Pamela Jean aborda diversos aspectos sobre las emociones y su gestión, utilizando la analogía de la alquimia como un recurso que permite discutir y divulgar de manera amena y creativa la búsqueda del bienestar más allá de la ciencia." Dr. Rafael Bisquerra
En la vida, como en la alquimia, la clave está en tener los conocimientos para transmutar y convertir en oro lo que se presente en tu camino. Tu destino no está escrito. Cada día es una oportunidad nueva para detenerte, poner un ojo apreciativo en el presente y encontrar el potencial en lo que tienes. Tanto tu mentalidad como tu libertad de elección son recursos que no debes tomar a la ligera, pues es por medio de ellos que construyes tu experiencia de vida. Tienes la oportunidad de alterar lo que te sucede a través del pensamiento y la atención conscientes --como lo haría un sabio alquimista en su laboratorio-- y así obtener grandes riquezas.
"Al terminar de leer La alquimia del pensamiento, quedarás pasmado, incrédulo con todo lo que descubrirás y, al mismo tiempo, ansioso de poner en práctica tantas enseñanzas y conocimientos. Te aseguro: ¡te lo vas a devorar! ¿Listo para atravesar este portal y transportarte? Entonces, ¡sácale todo el provecho posible!" --Dr. César Lozano, "El portal hacia la alquimia"
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Pamela Jean takes an interesting and provocative approach to various aspects of human emotions and how to manage them, using alchemy as an analogy in an accessible and creative discussion that looks beyond science to find wellbeing."- Dr. Rafael Bisquerra
Life, like alchemy, is about knowing how to turn base elements into gold. Our fates aren't sealed: Every day is a new opportunity to stop, appreciate the moment, and find potential in what's around us. Our mindset and freedom of choice are resourcs not to be taken likely, for they are how we build our lived experiences. Like alchemists, we have the power to transmute them and turn them into riches through thought and awareness.
"The Alchemy of Thought will leave you amazed, incredulous at all you have discovered, and eager to put its teachings and wisdom into practice. I guarantee: You will devour it! Ready to go through that door and be transported? Take full advantage of it!" - Dr. César Lozano, El portal hacia la alquimia

"Y sí, la muerte irrumpió en mi vida y la devastó. Pero estuve resuelto a no permitir que me remolcara con ella." Esta ambiciosa novela confirma a Arriaga como uno de los escritores más potentes, intensos y originales de la literatura contemporánea.
A sus diecisiete años Juan Guillermo se ha quedado huérfano y completamente solo. Tres años atrás, Carlos, su hermano mayor, ha sido asesinado por unos fanáticos religiosos; abatidos por el pesar, sus padres y su abuela mueren. En el extremo de la rabia y la desesperación, Juan Guillermo jura vengarse. El problema es que los jóvenes religiosos están muy bien organizados, gozan del respaldo de gente poderosa, portan armas, han entrenado artes marciales y, para colmo, están coludidos con Zurita, un comandante de la policía judicial. Con esta permanente sensación de vendetta convive una entrañable historia de amor que impide que el protagonista se deslice hacia el vórtice de la autodestrucción.
En paralelo corre la historia de Amaruq, un hombre que en los helados bosques del Yukón se obsesiona en perseguir a un lobo y cuya travesía lo conduce hacia las profundidades de la locura y la muerte.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Juan Guillermo is a teenager who in a matter of a few months looses his brother Carlos, his grandmother, and his parents. The culprits are a group of fundamentalist Catholics that are convinced that is their purpose in life, to rid the world of society's scum. They are conspiring with Captain Zurita who was upset with Carlos for not giving him a share of the earnings from his illegal businesses.
So, they drowned him, and once his parents returned all they found was a casket. But Juan Guillermo decides to take vengeance...
La vida adulta puede ser muy desafiante, sobre todo a nivel emocional. Por ello, esta guía amorosa y paciente, que Daniela y Jimena --las mentes maestras detrás del proyecto Buenavibracamp-- han creado es un gran apapacho; sobre todo si estás en un proceso de autoconocimiento y ya decidiste que quieres dejar atrás los malos hábitos.
"El autoconocimiento es un proceso continuo y los altibajos son momentos que nos ayudan a profundizar y explorar nuestras múltiples capas. Reconocer qué te está frenando, ya sea una barrera interna o externa, te permitirá encontrar maneras de adaptarte y seguir adelante.
El verdadero desafío es ser constante a pesar de la incomodidad. La constancia no es perfección, es seguir moviéndote, aunque no siempre sea en línea recta. Recuerda ser paciente contigo mismo mientras aprendes a identificar las fluctuaciones y encuentras estrategias para sobrellevarlas y seguir adelante. Los resultados no son inmediatos, y eso está bien. No se trata de apresurarse hacia el resultado, sino de disfrutar el proceso."
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Adult life can be challenging, especially at the emotional level. In response, Daniela and Jimena --the masterminds behind the Buenavibracamp project-- have created this loving and patient guide that is the equivalent of a big hug for anyone working to improve their self-knowledge and leave bad habits behind.
"Self-knowledge is an ongoing process whose highs and lows are opportunities to uncover our many layers. Recognizing the obstacles that are holding you back, whether internal or external, is the first step toward finding ways to adapt and move forward.
The real challenge is persevering, even if it isn't always comfortable. Perseverance doesn't mean perfection; it means forging ahead and realizing that progress may not be linear. Being patient with yourself is essential as you learn to identify these fluctuations and develop strategies for navigating them. The results aren't immediate, and that's good. The point isn't to rush toward your goals but rather to enjoy the process of attaining them."
"Veinte relatos en torno a las peripecias posmodernas que, contados con humor negro, evidencian la inocencia con la que nos entregamos a un estilo de vida, sin comprender que ofrecemos el cuello como víctimas desde la comodidad del hogar y a un clic de distancia del posible asesino. De El vampiro del Bed and Breakfast, que va sembrando cadáveres donde se hospeda, a Jackie, la sensual repartidora de comida que entra en la casa de sus solitarios clientes y los ejecuta, pasando por Bartolo Gomer en La rebelión de los de en medio, quien provoca una revolución incendiaria en un gris corporativo de oficinistas, estos cuentos relatan cómo, en pos del éxito y la "calidad de vida", hemos construido pequeños infiernos a través de la tecnología, la persecución de la productividad y la devoción por absurdos propósitos que, antes o después, se vuelven contra nosotros. Los protagonistas de estas historias mutan de buenas personas -incluso buenos objetos como La mesa de siempre- a seres que permiten que su lado oscuro se asome como una conquista de libertad. Desobedecen, renuncian, traicionan, matan y se dejan poseer por ese Diablo frágil que, como decía Fernando Pessoa, corrompe pero ilumina."--Back cover.
Un festín para quienes saben que comer también es una forma de contar historias.
«Como y recuerdo, recuerdo y como». Con ese mantra como guía, Benito Taibo regresa a los sabores, olores y texturas que han marcado su vida. En este segundo tomo de Cuchara y memoria, que abarca de la langosta al zapato, el autor continúa hurgando en su historia personal y en la memoria colectiva para revivir aquellas comidas que le han provocado asombro, nostalgia, risas y, también, más de una decepción memorable.
Aquí no hay reglas ni jueces: cada quien tiene su forma de «agarrar el taco». Y lo importante, insiste, no es solo recordar, sino divertirse en el camino. Este libro es una invitación a leer con hambre y a compartir el viaje de un autor que escribe con honestidad, humor y un enorme amor por la comida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A feast for those who know that eating is also a way of telling stories.
"I eat and remember, I remember and eat." With that mantra as his guide, Benito Taibo returns to the flavors, scents, and textures that have shaped his life. In this second volume of Cuchara y memoria (Spoon and Memory), which ranges from lobster to shoe, the author continues to dig into his personal history and collective memory to revisit those meals that have sparked wonder, nostalgia, laughter, and also more than one memorable disappointment.
Here, there are no rules or judges: everyone has their own way of "grabbing the taco." And what matters, he insists, is not just remembering, but having fun along the way. This book is an invitation to read with hunger and to share the journey of an author who writes with honesty, humor, and a deep love for food.

Two women. One dead husband. And only one alibi.
“Elston expertly unravels a web of secrets and lies. You won’t be able to put this excellent thriller down until the final shocking page.” —Megan Miranda
Everyone at Chantilly’s Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. But that woman wasn’t Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price.
Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she’s married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can’t find proof because he tracks her every move.
Aubrey Price has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she’s convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there’s more than one way to get to the truth—and she may have found the best way in.
Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille’s place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek.
Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone.

In Which Many Dangerous and Homosexual Things Happen.
All his life, Sir Cameron has stayed as far away from danger as possible. He is quite frankly too handsome to die a pointless death in battle. But then the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights: the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to survive: the mad sorcerer.
Merulo isn’t thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but transmogrifying him into a vulture is at least entertaining. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he’s really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew?
As a legion of knights surround their stronghold, the sorcerer’s poisonous ambitions draw ever closer to fruition. Cameron is quite invested in not dying, but he finds he’s also invested in Merulo. And sometimes, supporting the sorcerer you care about means taking an interest in their hobbies. Even if that hobby is trying to kill God.
Even if it might get you killed, too.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1768. It is a dark and foreboding night when the boat arrives from Europe, bringing three shadowy figures to shore. Before long, the Maria sisters will take the New World by storm. In the coming years, they wend their way from town to town, assisting women in need and wreaking vengeance against the men who've wronged them. At once fiercely righteous and gleefully malevolent, the sisterhood of witches exert their powers across centuries, from the 1700s to the present, leaving a wreckage of shattered and impotent men in their wake. Told as a fractured narrative, through the eyes of the people whose lives the sisters have cast asunder, Witchcraft is a mesmerising mystery to piece together. This masterpiece of a graphic novel combines strange magic, absurdist humour, and a fiery undercurrent of female rage, to tell a heady tale of colonialism, feminism, and indigenous folklore. Hand drawn in a playful, kinetic cartoon style, with a vibrant colour palette, this experimental, eerie, and hilarious work assures Sole Otero as one of the most dynamic comics artists in South America - and everywhere.
"It's hard to imagine there's light when we are so deep in the darkness. But it's there, so let's keep walking."

As beloved friends Big Panda and Tiny Dragon journey to find the lost land, there are moments when the dense forests, hazardous mountains, derelict ruins, and dark caves, and the feelings they bring, threaten to overwhelm them. But, together, they find the will to keep on walking. Each environment, so menacing at first, slowly yields glimmers of life, light, and beauty.
In an exploration of life-affirming friendship, struggle, and hope, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon learn the immense power of looking for beauty in the most unlikely places.

And so, on the eve of her 40th birthday, Cass decides to do something for herself. She impulsively has a fling with Ellis. He’s twenty-eight, indecently handsome, and not destined to be the love of her life. But she’s surprised by their connection and their fling feels like something more—up to the moment he introduces her to his boss…Daniel Nam.

DELUXE EDITION—the hardcover edition of The Red Winter features beautiful red sprayed edges!
A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power, and redemption.
In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gévaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake.
Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of his indwelling demon, Sarmodel – who takes payment in living hearts – it nearly cost him his life to bring the monster down.
Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d’Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse.
But Gévaudan is not as he remembers it, and Sebastian’s unfinished business is everywhere he looks. Years of misery have driven the people to desperation, and France teeters on the edge of revolution. Sebastian’s arcane activities – not to mention his demonic counterpart – have also attracted the inquisitorial eye of the French clergy. And the Beast is poised to close his jaws around them all and plunge the continent into war.
Debut author Cameron Sullivan tears the heart out of history with this darkly entertaining retelling of the hunt for the Beast of Gévaudan. Lifting the veil on the hidden world behind our own, it reimagines the story of Europe, from Imperial Rome to Saint Jehanne d’Arc, the madness of Gilles de Rais and the first flickers of the French Revolution.

“A delightful celebration of rom-coms, slasher flicks, and the women who love them.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A humorous, swoony, and downright terrifying slasher rom-com in which a cinephile gets caught in the middle of a murder spree at a speed-dating event and must use her encyclopedic knowledge of the romance and horror genres to make it as a real-life Final Girl.
When Jamie Prescott and her best friend Laurie attend a speed-dating event, Jamie expects to meet a roster of mediocre men and indulge in some street food afterwards. She doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at their table during a blackout. After the lights come back on and there are more bodies on the floor, it becomes clear that dating can be a very dangerous pastime.
Armed with makeshift weapons and Jamie’s extensive knowledge of what NOT to do in a slasher, the remaining speed daters try to find an exit while the killer adds to their body count. As the night progresses and Jamie comes face-to-mask with the murderer, she begins to suspect they are committing the slayings to woo one of the daters and turn them into a real-life Final Girl. But Jamie has other plans, and as she fights for her life, she can’t help but find herself ensconced in a love triangle with two of the other survivors. Will she make it through the bloodshed to find her Happily Ever After? Or does this machete-wielding psychopath have another ending in mind?

"If you picked up this book because you truly want to get away with murder, you will not be disappointed. Simply turn the page and we'll get started."
This fresh debut thriller finds a Scotland Yard detective trying to find the author of a self-help book that promises quite literally to teach readers how to get away with murder, which seems to have inspired London's newest murderer.
Detective Inspector Samantha Hansen has been on leave for six months, recovering from a breakdown she suffered at work, but when a fourteen-year-old girl is murdered in a local park, Sam jumps at the chance to return to the job and prove that she's still got what it takes to be the Yard's most successful homicide detective. One of the case's only leads is a copy of a self-help book found in the victim's backpack called How To Get Away With Murder by a man named Denver Brady.
Brady claims to be the most successful serial killer of our time, which is why no one's ever heard of him. Chapter by chapter, he details his methodology and his past victims, and as Sam's investigation progresses and the details of the book go viral, Sam begins to suspect that there’s more to the author than what he’s revealed. But in order to find a killer and get justice for young Charlotte, Sam must learn to trust her instincts once again, before Denver Brady--or someone else--really does get away with murder.

ONE OF PEOPLE'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2026
A stunning, fierce collection from a master of the short story and one of the most important writers of our time
Read alone, each story in Lauren Groff’s electric collection is an individual triumph, bold, agile, and packed with power. Read together, they hum in exhilarating resonance. Ranging from the 1950s to the present day and moving across age, class, and region -- from New England to Florida to California -- these nine stories reflect and expand upon a shared theme: the ceaseless battle between humans’ dark and light angels.
“In every human there is both an animal and a god wrestling unto death,“ one character tells us. Among those we see caught in this match are a young woman suddenly responsible for her disabled sibling, a hot-tempered high school swimmer in need of an adult, a mother blinded by the loss of her family, and a banking scion endowed with a different kind of inheritance. Motivated by love, impeded by the double edges of other peoples’ good intentions, they try to do the right thing for as long as they can.
Precise, surprising, and provocative, anchored by profound insight into human nature, Brawler reveals the repeated, sometimes heartbreaking turning points between love and fear, compassion and violence, reason and instinct, altruism and what it takes to survive.
A woman who runs a cat rescue in 1920s Montréal turns to a grouchy but charming magician to help save her shelter in this heartwarming cozy fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Wilde series.
“Absolutely magnificent! Full of cats and magic, this is the kind of book you want to instantly reread. I loved every character, every cat, and every moment with all my heart!”—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
Agnes Aubert leads a meticulously organized life, and she likes it that way. As the proudly type-A manager of a cat rescue charity, she has devoted her life to finding forever homes for stray cats.
Now it’s the shelter that needs a new home. And the only landlord who will rent a space to a cat rescue is a mysterious man called Havelock—who also happens to be the world’s most infamous magician, running an illegal magic shop out of his basement. Havelock is cantankerous and eccentric, but not not handsome, and no, Agnes absolutely does not feel anything but disdain for him. After all, rumors swirl about his shadowy past—including whispers that his dark magic once almost brought about the apocalypse.
Then one day a glamorous magician comes looking for Havelock, putting the magic shop—and the cat shelter—in jeopardy. To save the shelter, Agnes will have to team up with the magician who nearly ended the world . . . and may now be trying to steal her heart.
Havelock is everything Agnes thinks she doesn’t need in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers that he’s more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue—and romance—in her life. After all, second chances aren’t just for rescue cats. . . .
