Carne da sua carne
by Bárbara Marques Miguel CampionAlcean é um adolescente que vive trancado com sua mãe em um enorme e sinistro casarão de onde nunca saiu. O mundo que ele conhece dá uma volta de cento e oitenta graus quando seu tio Belial chega de surpresa e o faz transgredir todos os limites que sua mãe havia lhe imposto. E é assim que Alcean descobrirá os horríveis segredos que sua família guardou durante gerações, incluindo a verdade sobre sua própria vida de reclusão.
Carne della sua carne
by Miguel Campion Stefano VazzolaSinossi: Alceán è un adolescente che vive rinchiuso con sua madre in un’enorme villa sinistra dalla quale non è mai uscito. Il mondo che conosce cambia totalmente quando suo zio Belial arriva a sorpresa e lo spinge a trasgredire tutti i divieti imposti dalla madre. È così che Alceán scoprirà gli orribili segreti che la sua famiglia ha custodito per generazioni, inclusa la verità sulla propria vita reclusa. Su “Carne della sua carne” “Carne della sua carne” riunisce gli elementi del romanzo gotico e della narrativa classica del terrore (con l’evidente influenza di Edgar Allan Poe) per creare un’atmosfera decadente e romantica. Il vecchio maniero, l’atmosfera sinistra, la maledizione di famiglia, le emozioni esacerbate e l’erotismo soggiacenti sono i chiari ingredienti di questa tradizione. Tuttavia la narrazione supera il canone del romanzo gotico del Romanticismo e finisce col raggiungere tratti oscuri di autentico orrore secondo i canoni contemporanei, arrivando a sfiorare il gore. Tutta questa tavolozza di tratti del genere del terrore fanno sì che “Carne della sua carne” sia un allettante banchetto per gli amanti dell’oscurità. Narrato in prima persona, questo racconto lungo o romanzo corto ci racconta l’infanzia e la giovinezza di Alceán, il protagonista, con uno stile arcaicizzante e oniricoche crea la sensazione di stare ascoltando un ricordo morboso, un delirio febbrile, un’allucinazione tenebrosa di un essere tormentato che ci racconta le sue visioni affinché possiamo condividere la sua angoscia. Lo stile poetico ed esaltato del narratore protagonista non impedisce che la storia catturi il lettore, procedendo implacabilmente fino a svelare il terrificante segreto finale.

Carnival of Souls (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
by Nancy HolderSOMETHING WICKED EVIL THIS WAY COMES. There's something troubling about Professor Caligari's Traveling Carnival. Perhaps it's that no one can recall the arrival of its hard-to-miss caravan of old-style wagons, countless performers, and horse-drawn carts. Maybe it's the creepy calliope music that tirelessly beckons visitors. Let's face it, an enigma that chooses Sunnydale nearly guarantees it's up to more than wholesome family entertainment. After a visit to the carnival's Hall of Mirrors, a once-shy pair of homely sophomore twins parades the halls of Sunnydale High like diva supermodels on a runway. Intuiting the twins' abrupt personality change as more than a self-confidence boost, Buffy -- joined by Angel, Giles, and the rest of the Scoobies -- decides to investigate the suspicious carnival firsthand. But soon it's apparent that the price of admission is higher than she imagined. Those who enter the carnival's attractions exit. . . changed. Each of the gang soon shows extreme displays of vice. Willow is wracked with envy. Cordelia's greed consumes her. Xander unleashes his gluttony. Angel reveals a lusty new persona. And a dark anger rises in Giles. But it's Buffy's now-blinding pride that threatens to overpower her, and in the process destroy those she loves. . . .
