Zombies: Field Notes by Dr. Robert Twombly
by Don RoffExperience the zombie apocalypse with this illustrated survivor’s journal full of chilling tales of terror.The year is 2012, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world’s population. Taking the form of a biologist’s illustrated journal found in the aftermath of the attack, this pulse-pounding, suspenseful tale of zombie apocalypse follows the narrator as he flees from city to countryside and heads north to Canada, where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of the infected along the way, he fills his notebook with graphic drawings of the zombies and careful observations of their behavior, along with terrifying tales of survival that will keep readers on the edge of their seats right up to the very end.Praise for Zombies“Influenced by Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, Zombies is a genuinely chilling and logical look at a zombie invasion. The matter-of-fact descriptions of the symptoms and effects, coupled with the detailed drawings of both victims and scenarios make it a creepy read . . . . A tremendous addition to any zombie book collection.” —Sfcrowsnest

It&’s a perfect way to dig up the dirt on a lot of things that would rather stay buried.Dan Shamble puts the PI in RIP.

el demonio andrajoso trilogía: réquiem - resurrección - renacer
by Steve Vernon Stanlyn Guaita VallenillaEn tres días, Vic se levantará, una cosa de tierra, hueso y odio. Los hombres lo llamarán el Demonio Andrajoso y el infierno seguirá. En 1691, Pueblo de Crossfall le enseñó a la bruja Thessaly cómo morir. La golpearon, le dispararon, la ahorcaron, pero nada funcionó. Cuando finalmente intentaron enterrarla con vida, Thessaly puso el campo en contra de ellos. El primer hombre murió cuando una ráfaga de viento sacudió la carne de sus huesos. Una raíz, lanzada como una jabalina sucia, derribó a un segundo hombre. Muchas más muertes siguieron. El Predicador Fell empaló a la bruja en su propia escoba, pero ella lo arrastró consigo al campo para esperar tres siglos más. Trescientos años después, Maddy Harker asesinará a su abusivo esposo Vic. Ella lo enterrará en el campo donde enterró a su abusivo padre años antes. El mismo campo donde el espíritu de Thessaly Cross está esperando. En tres días, Vic volverá a levantarse, una cosa de tierra, hueso y odio. Los hombres lo llamarán el Demonio Andrajoso. LO QUE LA GENTE ESTÁ DICIENDO ACERCA DE STEVE VERNON "El género necesita sangre nueva y Steve Vernon es una gran transfusión". -Edward Lee, autor de CARNE GÓTICA Y CIUDAD ENFERNAL "Si Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson y Robert Bloch tuvieron un juguete sexual tripartito en una bañera de hidromasaje, y luego un equipo de científicos entró y filtró el agua y mezcló el ADN sobrante en un tubo de ensayo, el experimento genético resultante lo más probable es que crezca en Steve Vernon ". - Bookgasm "Steve Vernon es una especie de anomalía en el mundo de la literatura de terror. Es una de las voces más frescas del género, aunque su carrera abarca veinte años. Escribiendo con una arrogancia y confianza inusuales, Steve Vernon puede guiar a sus lectores a través de toda una gama de emociones desde el miedo absoluto y la repulsión, a la compasión y la risa”. - Baile Cementerio
family
by Micol Ostowi have always been broken. i could have. died. and maybe it would have been better if i had. It is a day like any other when seventeen-year-old Melinda Jensen hits the road for San Francisco, leaving behind her fractured home life and a constant assault on her self-esteem. Henry is the handsome, charismatic man who comes upon her, collapsed on a park bench, and offers love, a bright new consciousness, and-best of all-a family. One that will embrace her and give her love. Because family is what Mel has never really had. And this new family, Henry#x19;s family, shares everything. They share the chores, their bodies, and their beliefs. And if Mel truly wants to belong, she will share in everything they do. No matter what the family does, or how far they go.

It is an unflinching look at people who are born broken, and the lengths they#x19;ll go to to make themselves #x1C;whole#x1D; again.

Daley et Sloane Brodie, la paix semble impossible à atteindre. Plus encore quand un nouveau groupe semant la terreur, l'Ordre d'Adrasteia a toujours l'air d'avoir une longueur d'avance. Avec la panique et l'intolérance qui se propagent, et les rues jonchées de la propagande de l'Ordre, l'hostilité entre humains et Therians croît à mesure que les jours passent. Dex et Sloane, avec le reste de l'équipe, sont déterminés à faire tomber l'Ordre et à rétablir la paix, sans parler de régler un différend personnel. Mais plus l'équipe s'investit dans l'enquête sur les attentats, plus ils croient à un motif plus sinistre que le simple désir de répandre le sang et semer le chaos. Quand il découvre l'horrible vérité derrière les intentions de l'Ordre, Sloane est forcé de faire face aux secrets d'un passé qu'il pensait avoir à tout jamais laissé derrière lui, un passé qui pourrait non seulement le détruire, ainsi que sa carrière, mais aussi la réputation de l'organisation qui a fait de lui ce qu'il est aujourd'hui. Maintenant plus que jamais, Dex et Sloane ont besoin l'un de l'autre, et, avec la confiance, la force de leur lien fera la différence entre la justice et la guerre totale.
