El dia que Maria Jesús, protagonista de Projecte de felicitat, rep l'oferta per fer de documentalista d'un reportatge sobre la Guerra Civil s'hi aferra per fugir de la rutina d'una vida massa còmoda i avorrida. La nova feina, encàrrec d'un antic amant que reapareix, la durà a remenar el pòsit de la història i a despertar fantasmes del passat. Aquest canvi de rumb, a més, ve emmarcat per diferents circumstàncies que fan que res no sembli el que és. Atrapada en un laberint de relacions afectives, Maria Jesús tracta de despertar de la seva letargia vital, lluita contra el passat i contra el present per aconseguir la independència i mira de dibuixar, lluny de falsedats i misteris, els contorns del seu projecte de felicitat.

Cançó d'amorLa llavor més delicadaés la llavor de l'amor.Ningú no sap com entravaen els paratges del cor.La llavor més poderosaés la llavor de l'amor.Té la creixença ufanosai, prest, ho abassega tot.

We?re all monsters.?In In and of Blood, Kat Lewis uses beautifully violent language to prove that there is no good or evil ? only circumstances. As her characters try to mitigate their immorality and point fingers to say that their monstrosity is no worse than others?, Lewis splays a truth about the human condition across each page.?Her stories, ?Six Weeks of Solitude? and ?Jello Shots and Shopping Carts? focus on the psychological monsters of hate and self-destruction. Lewis turns to physical monsters with the resurrection of a teenage girl in ?#324? and the personification of death as a fisherman in ?Hook, Line, and Dead.? The title story, ?In and of Blood,? explores the lives of two werewolf sisters as one sister embraces her feral nature and lives as a wolf while the other rejects her inner creature and struggles to live as a human.?Visceral, vicious, and unwavering, In and of Blood captivates as it comments on the monstrosity inside us all and reminds us that sometimes it?s okay to be a monster.?

Para buscar a su nieto predilecto, desaparecido en Francia engullido por el rutilante mundo del fútbol, Marguerite Bâ, que vive en Malí, a orillas del río Senegal, presenta una solicitud de visado ante las autoridades francesas. Cuando se lo deniegan, decide dirigirse al presidente de la República Francesa y contestar escrupulosamente a todas las cuestiones del formulario oficial n.º 13-0021. Pero nadie ha podido encerrar nunca a Madame Bâ en una casilla. ¿Apellidos, nombres, lugar de nacimiento...?

Nunca os ha pasado que vuestra vida cambia tan precipitadamente de un momento a otro No Pues a mí, sí. Desde que mi madre se casó hace cuatro años, con su nuevo marido, mi vida cambió por completo. Ahora vivo con ellos y mi nuevo hermanastro. Ahora tengo una vida perfecta, de esas que salen en las pelis, o de las que tienen los famosos. Voy a galas, salgo en las revistas y tengo casi un millón de seguidores en Instagram. Pero en toda vida perfecta siempre hay algo no tan perfecto. En mi caso es, todo. Y cuando digo todo, me refiero a todo. Odio a mi nueva familia, odio mi nueva vida, odio a mi madre por haberse casado con el peor hombre del mundo y odio vivir bajo el mismo techo que mi estúpido hermanastro.
