Pesadillas y alucinaciones II
by Stephen KingUna extraña tempestad que solo se produce en un pueblo cada siete años; un juguete con preferencia por la carne humana y una organización de fumadores clandestinos enfrentados a un poder terrorífico y antinatural. «Cuando la gente ve fantasmas, siempre se ve primero a sí misma», afirma Stephen King, y pocas reflexiones servirían mejor que esta como moraleja de sus historias: el mundo de la fantasía está poblado por las sombras de la conciencia. Los relatos de Pesadillas y alucinaciones II son otros tantos retazos de esas sombras, las que enturbian los límites entre el sueño y la vigilia, la realidad y el horror que subyace en lo real.
Peste Scimmia Spam: Quando La Peste Arriva Per Posta...Elettronica
by Steve Vernon“Un racconto, ispirato da Anansi, che sembra quasi scritto da William S. Burroughs.” Hellnotes La vita di Bobby Kaye inizia e finisce con un’E-mail. Poi, giù merda a secchiate. Letteralmente. Scimmiesco letame blu, tassisti guerrieri country, carovane di falciatrici assassine e lunari divinità a otto zampe che vanno a braccetto col Genio Della Posta Elettronica Indesiderata. In poche parole, uno dei romanzi più bizzarri di sempre. Non adatto a bambini, persone facilmente impressionabili e dita in culo col paraocchi incorporato.

Petrified
by Graham Masterton“A splendidly entertaining horror novel from a master of the genre” (Booklist). Braydon Harris is convinced God has it in for him. Although Suki, his little girl, seemed thrilled to be kidnapped from her mom’s parents’ house, an electric storm has hit, and it looks like the Lord isn’t going to make it easy for Braydon to get away. Braydon’s right. A huge truck jack-knifes in front of him, his car catches alight, and Sukie winds up in hospital with terrible burns—burns that only exacerbate the terrible nightmare she’s had for years about scary things flying through the sky, like shadows . . . “A fast-paced, gruesome tale sure to bring chills to receptive spines.” —Kirkus Reviews
Petronella & The Trogot (Petronella Ser. #1)
by Cheryl BentleyPetronella moves to Charis Cottage hidden in the thick dark woods at the bottom of a track on the outskirts of Fort Willow. Everything is perfect. Except for one thing. Since she moved an enormous black tree has appeared in her back garden in the shape of a giant with a big black circle on the ground under it. Petronella finds out it is a deep pit and is terrified to go near its ridge. But one night...How is the tree linked to:- The creepy night-time visits by the Hooded Horseman?- The boy ghost, Percy, Petronella finds in her bed one night?- The invasion of ghosts of the ancient Strincas population all over Fort Willow?Reviews"Kids will like this. Girls will like it for romance and boys will like it for the scare factor.""Full of ghosts and ghoulies, this is an imaginative tale."“This was presented as a supernatural chiller and I must admit…it was a fantastic and unique read for MG and YA readers. I do think that the author showed wonderful imagination in creating this world and these characters.”“Petronella & the Trogot is introduced as a supernatural chiller. People who lived almost 1,200 years ago, members of the Strincas civilization, start appearing and living in modern day Fort Willow. Needless to say the Strincas resurrection scares (off) many modern day citizens. If that were not enough, Bentley adds a hooded horseman (think Legend of Sleepy Hollow) and a black, evil monster tree in Petronella’s back yard.In Part 1 one you get to know Petronella ‒ our protagonist, modern day Fort Willow inhabitants, the Strincas, and the evil Lord Fortesque. In Part 2 Petronella and Percy, a Strinca, investigate the tree and find themselves on a journey. Their journey is similar to Dante’s Inferno with a modern twist... In Petronella & the Trogot, you know who all the offenders are. I enjoyed reading the novel.”

The car comes to rest on the edge of a construction site where machines are positioned to tear down an old Motel 6. For Deseronto, the worst is yet to come. Marissa Madison had been a psychic of sorts while alive, using her ability to assist people in their personal journeys. Now, the ghost of Marissa will utilize her strange gift, trapping Deseronto in the abandoned motel, and forcing him to live the last, fatal week of her own life as a passive passenger in her body . . . Soon, Deseronto will experience something truly horrific: the mind-numbing terror of being stalked by himself.

The Phantom of Manhattan
by Frederick ForsythIt is 1906, and few in the teeming metropolis of New York City have heard of, let alone seen, the hugely wealthy man who controls so many of their lives. Few, too, would have heard of the extraordinary events that took place at the Paris Opera House more than twenty years before -- a story as dramatic as any of the operas themselves: a tale of love and murder and passion, the heartbreaking legend of the Phantom of the Opera. . . It all began in 1882, when Antoinette Giry, Maitresse du Corps de Ballet at the Opera, took her small child, Meg, to a carnival. And there, to her horror, she saw a caged, filthy, manacled creature whose tormented eyes shone from a grotesquely deformed face. Overcome by pity, Madame Giry freed him, cured his wounds and finally let him find a dwelling place in the seven below ground levels of the labyrinthine Opera. The creature -- Erik -- was to become the Phantom of the Opera, his hideous visage masking a brilliant mind. He is a magician, an artist, a musician, and lover. But when he tries to lure the object of his adoration to his underground domain -- it must end in tragedy.
