Cat's Cradle
by William W. JohnstoneNo one knew where she had come from. A scrap of a girl clinging to a black cat with eerie yellow eyes. A lost child or an orphan, maybe. It was a miracle she had survived on Eden Mountain at all. Suddenly strange things began to happen in placid Ruger County, bizarre killings that the police couldn’t solve. Horrifying accidents that the people couldn’t comprehend. An insatiable beast was stalking their intimate hideaways, their swimming holes—and their children. No one noticed how quickly the little girl’s pale cheeks turned pink with health. How her frail body filled out with sleek, lithe muscles and feline grace. And no one noticed that at night her innocent blue eyes turned an eerie, evil yellow . . .
Cat's Eye
by Jennifer Yaeggy Gemma Herrero VirtoDark forests, paranormal phenomena, a crime spree that shocks a small town and a stone that lets you connect to the other side. Are you brave enough to enter Erkiaga? Laura Ugalde, a young anthropology professor, decides to leave her old life behind and move to the town of Erkiaga to do the facial reconstruction of an unknown female, murdered 15 years ago. However, a series of strange events start to occur as soon as she arrives: episodes of sleepwalking where she destroys the previous day's work, paranormal phenomena, threats of what will happen if she doesn't abandon the case. In spite of all this, Laura decides to continue her work, but several men from the town begin to show up dead; murdered as she works on the reconstruction process. Is she committing these heinous crimes in her sleep? Is the dead girl's spirit gaining enough strength to enact her vengeance thanks to her reconstruction work? Or is there someone so interested in not having the crime solved that they're systematically eliminating all of the witnesses?

Catchpenny is a brilliant book, full of heart and the language is pitch-perfect. If Elmore Leonard had ever written a fantasy novel, this would be it.&” —Stephen KingSidney Catchpenny has had a bad run. Laid low by a years-long bout of debilitating depression, he&’s all but squandered his reputation as one of the most uniquely talented thieves in LA. There aren&’t many who can do what Sid does. He&’s a sly, a special kind of crook with the uncanny ability to move through mirrors. And the spoils he&’s after are equally unusual.

These curiosities are full of mojo, which is both the currency of the criminal underground and the secret source of magic in the world.When a friend from Sid&’s past comes looking for his help with an important client, and the chance to pay off old debts presents itself, Sid seizes the opportunity … as best he can. But the case he stumbles into is more complicated than it seems, and it portends a seismic shift in the world, one that will leave no one untouched. As the fog of his depression begins to lift, Sid sees connections everywhere he looks, and the once disparate threads of the case—a missing teenage girl, an entire bedroom saturated with mojo, and Sid&’s own long-dead wife—begin to coalesce.

For those lucky few selected, tuition, room, and board are free. But acceptance comes with a price. Students are required to give the House three years—summers included—completely removed from the outside world. Family, friends, television, music, even their clothing must be left behind. In return, the school promises a future of sublime power and prestige, and that its graduates can become anything or anyone they desire.Among this year’s incoming class is Ines Murillo, who expects to trade blurry nights of parties, cruel friends, and dangerous men for rigorous intellectual discipline—only to discover an environment of sanctioned revelry. Even the school’s enigmatic director, Viktória, encourages the students to explore, to expand their minds, to find themselves within the formidable iron gates of Catherine. For Ines, it is the closest thing to a home she’s ever had. But the House’s strange protocols soon make this refuge, with its worn velvet and weathered leather, feel increasingly like a gilded prison. And when tragedy strikes, Ines begins to suspect that the school—in all its shabby splendor, hallowed history, advanced theories, and controlled decadence—might be hiding a dangerous agenda within the secretive, tightly knit group of students selected to study its most promising and mysterious curriculum.Combining the haunting sophistication and dusky, atmospheric style of Sarah Waters with the unsettling isolation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Catherine House is a devious, deliciously steamy, and suspenseful page-turner with shocking twists and sharp edges that is sure to leave readers breathless.

Catorce colmillos
by Martín SolaresUna semana muy oscura de 1927 un hombre es asesinado en extrañas circunstancias y su cuerpo aparece en un callejón de París. El hallazgo plantea un enigma escalofriante, pues además del extraño color que presenta la piel de la víctima en el cuello se advierte una herida que no puede atribuirse a ningún arma o depredador conocido.

Entre los detectives desplegados se encuentra el joven Pierre Le Noir, que cuenta con una curiosa red de informantes en el barrio. Gracias a ésta, Le Noir conoce a una hermosa mujer que tiene oscuros motivos para interesarse en el cadáver, y a partir de su encuentro con ella comprende que el caso involucra magia e hipnosis, migrantes ilegales y millonarios respetables, pero, sobre todo, que si desea detener al culpable debe infiltrarse entre surrealistas y dadaístas, dos grupos de artistas rijosos y explosivos, siempre en líos con las autoridades, y entre los cuales se hallan André Breton, Tristan Tzara y Man Ray: todos son sospechosos, porque todos tienen algo que ocultar.
