Früher, in den dunklen Zeiten, wussten die Leute nicht, dass die Liebe tödlich ist. Sie strebten sogar danach, sich zu verlieben.

Auch Lena steht dieser kleine Eingriff bevor, kurz vor ihrem 18. Geburtstag. Danach wird sie geheilt sein. Sie wird sich nicht verlieben. Niemals.Aber dann lernt sie Alex kennen. Und kann einfach nicht mehr glauben, dass das, was sie in seiner Anwesenheit spürt, schlecht sein soll.

À la mort de Richard Walker, un vieil homme solitaire, acariâtre et très riche, son ex-femme, ses deux enfants et sa petite-fille retournent dans la maison familiale pour la succession. Mais la bâtisse est hantée. Hantée par des souvenirs d'enfance qui resurgissent à mesure que les nouveaux arrivants se réapproprient les lieux. Hantée également par de vrais fantômes qui observent et commentent les agissements de chacun, en espérant qu'un jour, enfin, ils pourront quitter les lieux à tout jamais. La très guindée Alice et la cynique Sandra, toutes deux mortes depuis longtemps, sont peu disposées à laisser la place aux nouveaux occupants. Les deux fantômes jouent des coudes pour rester maîtresses de leur propriété au travers de laquelle elles communiquent : escalier qui grince, radiateur qui siffle et ampoules qui grésillent remplacent les mots pour communiquer avec les nouveaux locataires. Mais bientôt, les vivants comme les morts seront confrontés à leur passé et à des vérités douloureuses.

Welcome back to the Dime Museum, home to the freaks, wonders and oddities that live there. But beware, fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events may never want to leave...

After falling in love, Lena and Alex flee their oppressive society where love is outlawed and everyone must receive "the cure"--an operation that makes them immune to the delirium of love--but Lena alone manages to find her way to a community of resistance fighters, and although she is bereft without the boy she loves, her struggles seem to be leading her toward a new love.

Four orphans are shocked when their beloved friend, sculptor Siegfried Eckleberger, is murdered. As they investigate, they find clues that his death may be tied to the murder of a rich New York heiress as well as to their own past.

For the first time, Lauren Oliver's short stories about characters in the Delirium world appear in print. Originally published as digital novellas, Hana, Annabel, and Raven each center around a fascinating and complex character who adds important information to the series and gives it greater depth. This collection also includes an excerpt from Requiem, the final novel in Oliver's New York Times bestselling series. Hana is told through the perspective of Lena's best friend, Hana Tate. Set during the tumultuous summer before Lena and Hana are supposed to be cured, this story is a poignant and revealing look at a moment when the girls' paths diverge and their futures are altered forever. Lena's mother, Annabel, has always been a mystery—a ghost from Lena's past—until now. Her journey from teenage runaway to prisoner of the state is a taut, gripping narrative that expands the Delirium world and illuminates events—and Lena—through a new point of view. And as the passionate, fierce leader of a rebel group in the Wilds, Raven plays an integral role in the resistance effort and comes into Lena's life at a crucial time. Crackling with intensity, Raven is a brilliant story told in the voice of one of the strongest and most tenacious characters in the Delirium world.

After she dies in a car crash, teenage Samantha relives the day of her death over and over again until, on the seventh day, she finally discovers a way to save herself.

'On the third night after the day her father died, Liesl saw the ghost.' Liesl lives in a tiny attic bedroom, locked away by her cruel stepmother. Her only friends are the shadows and the mice - until one night a ghost appears from the darkness. It is Po, who comes from the Other Side. Both Liesl and Po are lonely, but together they are less alone. That same night, an alchemist's apprentice, Will, bungles an important delivery. He accidentally switches a box containing the most powerful magic in the world with one containing something decidedly less remarkable. Will's mistake has tremendous consequences for Liesl and Po, and it draws the three of them together on an extraordinary journey.

The book is about, among other things: the strongest boy in the world, a talking cockatoo, a faulty mind reader, a beautiful bearded lady and a nervous magician, an old museum, and a shrunken head. Blessed with extraordinary abilities, orphans Philippa, Sam, and Thomas have grown up happily in Dumfrey's Dime Museum of Freaks, Oddities, and Wonders. Philippa is a powerful mentalist, Sam is the world's strongest boy, and Thomas can squeeze himself into a space no bigger than a bread box. The children live happily with museum owner Mr. Dumfrey, alongside other misfits. But when a fourth child, Max, a knife-thrower, joins the group, it sets off an unforgettable chain of events. When the museum's Amazonian shrunken head is stolen, the four are determined to get it back. But their search leads them to a series of murders and an explosive secret about their pasts.
