REM - THE NEW ONE
HORROR-THRILLER

Sleep. Dream. Die. Imagine if your dreams didn't disappear when you woke up, but were recorded. You could watch them anytime. But then your next sleep would be your
last

Alysee is four years old when her father begs her in a panic, for heaven’s sake, not to fall asleep. But the girl’s eyes close. When she wakes up again, her father is dead. Brutally murdered. The fear of sleep never leaves Alysee. Years later, when she hears that her father has left her a former luxury hotel on the German-Polish border, she fervently hopes to finally learn something about her family in this abandoned place. Alysee’s wish comes true in a gruesome way: in the hotel’s basement, her father had been conducting illegal sleep experiments. Obsessed with the idea of recording dreams like a movie. Without realizing that he was making the murderous figures from his test subjects’ nightmares not only visible, but also alive…

Bestseller: Parents' Evening

Imagine...
... you have to spend half an eternity at a parent-teacher conference. And you don't even have a child!

A wise and hilariously funny novel in the style of Sebastian Fitzek's No. 1 bestseller »The First Last Day«

Sascha Nebel picked the wrong car to steal at the wrong time and in the wrong place. No sooner had he gotten behind the wheel of an SUV than a horde of climate activists marching in protest swept through the street. Leading the pack was a young woman who smashed the SUV with a baseball bat. When the police show up, Sascha and the stranger take off and end up crashing a 5th-grade parent-teacher conference. To avoid spending the night in police custody, they have no choice: they must step into the roles of Christin and Lutz Schmolke, the parents of 11-year-old Hector, who have missed every school event so far. Two complete strangers, between whom there could hardly be greater potential for conflict, pretend to be the father and mother of a child they don’t know at all. And the fact that Hector is the biggest bully in school very quickly becomes the least of their problems…
