El Devorador
by Lorenza GhinelliNo le mires. No le busques. Corre o te devorará... Último fenómeno italiano. Comparado con Stephen King y Hitchcock. Como si de un cuentagotas se tratase, comienza la progresiva desaparición de varios niños en medio de extrañas circunstancias para las que la policía no encuentra explicación. Pietro es autista, ve el mundo con otros ojos y vive atrapado en la jaula de la incomunicación. Sin embargo, es el único que sabe que algo terriblemente maligno y brutal está ocurriendo. Con su admirable capacidad para el arte, comienza a hacer extraños dibujos sobre un anciano vestido de negro, el Hombre de los Sueños, a los que nadie da la suficiente importancia. Nadie excepto Alice, su psicoterapeuta, que descubre su vinculación con las desapariciones. Los dibujos le traen a Alice unos recuerdos infantiles que han permanecido ocultos en su memoria durante muchos años: la historia de Denny, uno de sus compañeros de colegio. Cuando Denny tenía siete años y un padre borracho y sufría malos tratos constantes en casa y en clase, se refugiaba en su imaginación. Pero ¿qué sucede cuando la imaginación de un niño es tan fuerte y desesperada que es capaz de dar a luz a un monstruo? Un monstruo tangible, que se alimenta de odio y resentimiento, un devorador de almas que nunca termina de saciarse. Esta primera novela de Lorenza Ghinelli es un thriller que muestra que las peores pesadillas pueden hacerse realidad y se adentra en los rincones más oscuros de la conciencia. Una terrorífica fábula negra sobre los traumas de la infancia y sobre cómo los sentimientos de venganza pueden minar el alma hasta hacerla desaparecer entre sus fauces. La crítica ha dicho:«Al igual que en las películas de Hitchcock, el lector se ve inmerso sin darse cuenta en unos remolinos de virtuosismo sin que ello menoscabe el desarrollo de la historia y el goce de la lectura. En pocas palabras, no devoren El Devorador, saboréenlo más bien. Descubrirán un intenso gusto y unos aromas ocultos. [...] Lenguaje perfecto, completamente libre de clichés. Absoluta efectividad estilística, un crescendo de suspense Una escritora en el verdadero sentido de la palabra, dotada de talento, técnica y vocación.»Valerio Evangelisti, autor de El cuerpo y la sangre de Eymerich «Una novela en la que se percibe el magisterio de Stephen King, la misma capacidad de encontrar el horror fantástico en las miserias y en los abusos de la infancia, y que, a pesar de todo, no imita y muestra una voz genuina, joven e italiana.»Il Riformista «La novela supera los cánones del género e impresiona, no solo por la historia, sino también por un estilo directo de escritura cinematográfica y, a la vez, de gran espesor literario.»Il Giornale «Sorprende que temas como la fobia social formen parte del bagaje cultural de escritores tan jóvenes.»L'Espresso «Un niño autista, un desaparecido y las pesadillas de la infancia.»Panorama

The Diviner's Tale: A Novel
by Brad Morrow&“In addition to scaring the daylights out of us, The Diviner&’s Tale stands up for the offbeat and unconventional in human nature&” (The Boston Globe). Cassandra Brooks is a diviner, what used to be called a water-witch. Hired by a developer to dowse some land in upstate New York, she is walking a lonely forested valley one spring morning when she comes upon the shocking vision of a young girl hanged from a tree. When she returns with authorities to the site, the body has vanished, leaving in question Cassandra&’s credibility, if not her sanity. The next day, during a return visit with the sheriff to have another look, a dazed, mute missing girl emerges from the woods—alive, and the very picture of Cassandra&’s hanged girl.

Earthbound: An Erotic Ghost Story
by Richard MathesonA ghost story from the celebrated author of Hell House and I Am Legend, featuring a succubus homewrecker preying upon a troubled marriage.In 1982, before Matheson had fully achieved the cult-and-grandmaster status that he has today, Playboy Press published a version of his erotic ghost story that was so severely edited that Matheson took his name off the book and instead published it under the name Logan Swanson.In this restored version of the original manuscript, David and Ellen Cooper&’s twenty-one-year-old marriage is nearing the rocks, so they decide to leave Los Angeles for a honeymoon and go to Long Island. Soon after they arrive at their beach cottage, a strange woman, Marianna, appears to David, and he is immediately entranced.Matheson adeptly explores David&’s growing fear and guilt, which becomes intensified after he and Marianna make love in a secret room in the house. Although Marianna is portrayed as an &“earthbound spirit&” (a ghost who rejects the afterlife, appears real to all senses, believes she is alive, and through psychic attack, sucks life from the living) she&’s really more or less a succubus, gussied up in Casper the friendly ghost clothing. With each graphically detailed sexual rendezvous, Marianna pushes David to deeper levels of obsession, loss of will and irrationality. The story reaches an even higher pitch as the evil ghost begins to threaten Ellen, injecting some excellent suspense into unabashed pathos and outright titillation.Praise for Richard Matheson &“The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson.&”—Stephen King &“One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.&”—Ray Bradbury
