Doble Drible Usted Nunca Más Volverá a Ver Al Basquetbol
by Pedro Pablo Pérez Agüero Steve VernonSu nombre era Adam Kyler. Tenía ojos negros como azufaifas de regaliz y un rizo en forma de escupitajo enganchado en la frente que me recordaba a un joven superhombre. Él tenía nueve años. No era su culpa que estuviera parado en el callejón, pero de igual forma le disparé... DOPPLE DRIBBLE es una historia de venganza desde más allá de la tumba y le garantizo sin lugar a dudas que después de leer esta historia, la próxima vez que usted escuche el sonido de un niño caminando por la acera bajo las luces de la calle rebotando una pelota de baloncesto, van a pasar el resto de la noche, asustados y completamente despiertos. No digan que no les advertí.
Il cammino eternamente lungo di Olan Walker
by Stefano Vazzola Steve VernonEra il lunedì di Pasqua del 1952. Era un giorno come un altro. Il camion con pianale si fece strada nel campo con mezza dozzina di nuovi detenuti. Contai un paio di vagabondi, un ubriacone, un aggressore e un aggredito. Loro e Olan Walker. Olan Walker fu il primo a scendere dal camion con pianale e avrebbe anche potuto essere scivolato fra le assi. Quell'uomo era quantomeno allampanato. Era magro come un cane in Quaresima. Era magro come la fame, più sottile che se non avesse mai mangiato nient’altro che un cucchiaio pieno di zuppa della prigione. Sembrava che non avesse mangiato nulla tranne aria e ombre in tutta la vita. Se ci fossero stati un re e una regina degli smilzi, un duca della pelle e ossa, un conte dell'emaciatezza e un principe della macilenza, ebbene, Olan Walker sarebbe stato il loro signore e padrone. Non ci volle molto perché scoprissimo tutti cos'era in REALTÀ Olan Walker. Olan Walker era un evocatore... COSA DICE LA GENTE DI STEVE VERNON "Se Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch facessero sesso selvaggio a tre nell'idromassaggio e poi un gruppo di scienziati venisse a filtrare l'acqua e miscelasse i residui di DNA in una provetta, l'esperimento genetico risultante probabilmente si svilupperebbe in Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm "Steve Vernon è una sorta di anomalia nel panorama della letteratura horror. È una delle nuove voci più fresche del genere nonostante la sua carriera vada avanti da vent'anni. Con una scrittura di una rara spavalderia e sicurezza, Steve Vernon sa condurre i suoi lettori attraverso un'intera gamma di emozioni, dal terrore e dalla repulsione assoluti alla compassione e alla risata." - Cemetery Dance "Dotato di un senso dell'umorismo bizzarro, un'enorme quantità di originalità, una predisposizione per assumersi rischi e una forte padronanza della caratterizzazione - Steve ha sicuramente tutte le carte in regola." - Dark Discoveries "Steve Vernon è nato per scrivere. È uno dei

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage
by S. L. MathersAround the turn of the century, when Aleister Crowley was working out his system of Magick, the source that he turned to for basics was the system of Abramelin of Egypt. From Abramelin he took his concepts of protections, purifications, evocations, vestments, and dromena down to specific details.This system of Abramelin the Mage is known from a unique fifteenth century manuscript preserved in the Bibliothèque de L'Arsenal in Paris. In it, Abraham of Würzburg, a cabalist and connoisseur of magics, describes a tour that he made of the then civilized world, visiting sorcerers, magicians, and cabalists, estimating their powers and virtues. This quest is in itself as fascinating as the similar tours of Gurdjieff.The high point of Abraham's travels was found in a small town on the banks of the Nile, where he encountered the great magician Abramelin, whose complete system Abraham thereupon sets out in detail. This amounts to a complete course in ceremonial magic (both white and black), which the student can pursue by himself.Abramelin, whose system is based mostly on Hellenistic theurgy of the Iamblichan sort, but with Jewish increments from the Cabala, explains the qualifications needed to become a magician, purifications, and asceticisms to be practiced month by month, studies and activities permitted during this period, selection of place and time for working magic, equipment needed, prayers and formulas, evocation of good and evil spirits, commanding spirits to do one's will, overcoming rebellious spirits, and similar material. Specific instructions are offered to develop such powers as clairvoyance, divining metals and treasures, warding off evil magic, healing illness, levitation, transportation, rendering oneself invisible, creating illusions and glamour, reading minds, placing compulsions, working black magic, and a host of other abilities.We do not guarantee that Abramelin's techniques work, nor that the results are desirable, but we offer this as a genuine medieval course in magic, one of the most important books in the history of occultism. It is of paramount importance to both the historian and the practitioner.

Prickly Business (Portland Pack Chronicles #1)
by Kenzie Cade Piper VaughnPortland Pack Chronicles: Book OneSome people might call Avery Babineaux a prick. He's a hedgehog shifter from an old-money Louisiana family, with a penchant for expensive shoes and a reputation for being a judgmental snob. His attitude is why he and his fated mate are estranged. Not that Avery cares. He doesn't want to be mated to some blue-collar werewolf anyway. Or so he keeps telling himself. No werewolf likes to be looked down upon, least of all Dylan Green. He doesn't need a mate, especially not some snotty hedgehog who sneers at his custom motorcycle shop and calls him a grease monkey. But when Avery gets into trouble with a shady loan shark, Dylan can't stand by and let him be hurt--whether he wants the brat or not. Yet once Dylan steps into Avery's world, he realizes there's more to Avery than his prickly exterior, and that unexpected vulnerability calls to Dylan's protective instincts. The sassy little hedgehog needs a keeper, and despite their horrible first impressions, Dylan starts to believe he might be the wolf for the job.

The Supernaturals: A Ghost Story (The Supernaturals #1)

GolemonNamed One of Riffle's Ten Best Haunted House Books of All TimeBuilt at the turn of the twentieth century by one of the richest and most powerful men in the world tucked away in the pristine Pocono Mountains, Summer Place, a retreat for the rich and famous, seems the very essence of charm and beauty, "a scene borrowed from a wondrous fairytale of gingerbread houses, bright forests, and glowing, sunny meadows."But behind the yellow and white trimmed exterior lurks an evil, waiting to devour the unwary...Seven years ago, Professor Gabriel Kennedy's investigation into paranormal activity at Summer Place ended in tragedy, and destroyed his career.

Villette (Dover Thrift Editions)
by Charlotte BrontëBereft of family and friends, Lucy Snowe flees her empty life in England to seek independence and fulfillment. Her gambit takes her to the Belgian town of Villette, where she secures a job teaching English to the fractious girls of Madame Beck's boarding school. Sensitive but resolute, Lucy struggles with feelings of isolation, and she despairs of her relationships with an English doctor and a haughty schoolmaster. Her dilemma — finding a romance that offers both intimacy and freedom — remains as resonant today as it was for Victorian readers.Originally published in 1853, Charlotte Brontë's last and most autobiographical novel reflects her deep loneliness at the loss of her siblings. The remarkably modern heroine, a creature of moody complexity, far predates the advent of psychoanalysis. Villette is nevertheless a powerfully moving psychological study, acclaimed by George Eliot as "a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre," and by Virginia Woolf as "Brontë's finest novel."
