Then the body crumples to ashes. And everyone knows you can't call the police when there's nothing valuable to show that a girl died. Or was she even human? In no time Jesse's pulled into Ashton's world with a vengeance, when his grandmother gets captured by an otherworldly glowing-blue monster and Emberlee herself is the witch of the alternate universe Ashton comes from, where your subconsciousness takes form and fights monsters. Now trapped in this dark and insane world, Jesse has to find a way back to Earth so he can find his grandmother, while at the same time help Ashton find a way to stop Emberlee and wipe out the monsters. But there's something about Jesse and Ashton, something that Emberlee would kill for. Gritty, exhilarating, and utterly gripping, Stacey T. Hunt's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Tripletta di Mezzanotte: Tre Agghiaccianti Novelle Canadesi
by Steve VernonMi piace un buon romanzo. È come un bel pugno secco nell’addome. Dato per bene - ha un impatto! "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa" è stato originariamente pubblicato come una novella a sé. Volevo scrivere un film di serie B - ma ero troppo pigro per imparare a scrivere una sceneggiatura - così ho deciso di scrivere qualcosa che avrebbe divertito sia i lettori che me stesso - tanto quanto un buon film di mostri di serie B - come "Tremors" o "Ragazzi perduti" o "Fright Night-Il vampiro della porta" accanto o "30 giorni di buio". Sono stato a lungo affascinato nel vedere come la gente comune si comporta di fronte al male. Questi sono i miei personaggi preferiti – persone semplici, comuni. Mi piace immaginarle coraggiose e romantiche e selvagge e piena di vita - perché tutti abbiamo questo potenziale sepolto dentro di noi in profondità. Così - quando mi sono seduto a scrivere "Un straordinaria morte improvvisa" ho preso le persone più difficili che avessi mai immaginato e le ho gettate contro le forze delle tenebre. "Hammurabi Road" è stato originariamente pubblicato nel 2007 come la seconda novella di una raccolta di due novelle intitolata HARD ROADS - pubblicata da Gray Friar Press. La storia è il mio modo di rivisitare la mia casa d'infanzia di Capreol, Ontario - una piccola città ferroviaria dove sono cresciuto. L'ultima novella - "Non una storia di fantasmi qualunque" non è mai stato pubblicato prima. Spero che questi racconti vi piacciano quanto mi sono divertito a scriverli.
