Held from October 7 to 11, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the 78th Frankfurter Buchmesse brought together members of the international book and media industry for a five-day celebration of literature, publishing, and creative exchange. As one of the major meeting points for the global publishing community, the fair created a space where publishers, authors, literary agents, booksellers, rights professionals, distributors, and other industry representatives could meet, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Beyond showcasing books from different parts of the world, the event encouraged meaningful conversations about the future of publishing, the changing interests of readers, and the many ways stories can reach audiences across languages and cultures.

Through the representation of titles across various genres and themes, Citi of Books continues to support opportunities for authors to expand their reach and connect with new audiences in the global literary community.
“Dunsvill Summer Fun” by Sebastian Alberto Duran-Lopez is a suspenseful work of fiction that brings together friendship, youthful adventure, mystery, and the darker possibilities hidden within an abandoned place. The book follows a group of friends who are reaching the end of their high school years. As their school careers come to an end, the friends realize that they have gradually begun to drift apart.
It’s the start of the summer and the end of a high school career for a group of friends who, in recent years, had begun to drift apart. But plans for a summer weekend are soon announced, and the group hatches an idea to visit Dunsvill, an abandoned town, in an effort to welcome in the summer season and rekindle their friendship.
Wanting to reconnect and create one more memorable experience together, they develop a plan to spend a summer weekend exploring Dunsvill, an abandoned town. What initially appears to be an exciting way to welcome the summer and revive their friendship soon becomes an experience that none of them could have anticipated.
The abandoned town of Dunsvill provides the story with an atmosphere ideally suited to suspense and mystery. The friends enter the setting expecting an adventure, but their plans do not unfold as they imagined. This allows the story to maintain an element of mystery for prospective readers. At the same time, the friendship at the center of the novel gives the narrative an emotional foundation, because the characters are not simply strangers thrown into a frightening situation; they are young people attempting to recover a connection that has weakened over the years.
Sebastian Alberto Duran-Lopez has always had a love of storytelling and has been writing since elementary school. His love of the arts extends to acting, including small film work.
