Adam Wisniewski-Snerg (1937-95) was born on the outskirts of Warsaw. His science fiction writing is largely focused around the consequences of totalitarianism. Although largely unread during his lifetime, after his suicide in 1995 his work began to receive major critical attention.

Adolf Hitler

Adolf Loos (1877-1933) was a leading Austro-Hungarian architect, perhaps most famous for the revolutionary 'Loos House' opposite the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, which caused outrage when it was built in 1912, and the wonderful American Bar, also in Vienna. He wrote extensively on architecture and design, working in reaction to the elaborate mass of decoration celebrated by the Vienna Secession movement.

Welcome to Hawthorne Manor, a fifteen-and-a-half-star hotel with a difference – it’s run by vampires! 
 
But nine-year-old Moth is only a half-vampire (that’s what happens if you get bitten by a vamp with only one fang), meaning he can’t fly and hates the sight of blood. He can come out in sunlight, though, which means it’s his job as Temporary Deputy Assistant Sub-Manager to run the hotel all day, while the rest of the staff snooze in the dark, creepy basement. 
 
Bullied by the other vampires, particularly cocky Vlad the Lad, who loves to make his life a misery, Moth’s life sucks. That is until a party of school children unexpectedly check in, and Moth is faced with a new challenge: a feisty (human) girl called Mina. 
 
Can Moth protect Mina from the vamps without revealing the truth about himself and the hotel? Or can humans and half-vampires never truly be friends?

Moth the Veggie Vampire

Described by his creator as 'short, fat and primitive', Evert Bäckström is a rather unique homicide detective but he is undeniably the real deal with it comes to modern policing. 
 
This series is blackly comic, thrillingly compelling and utterly real.
