Coraline
by Neil GaimanAcompanya la Coraline i deixa que et transporti a un món de fantasia i terror creat pel premiat autor Neil Gaiman. «Senyors i senyores, nens i nenes, aixequeu-vos i aplaudiu: Coraline és una obra mestra.»Philip Pullman, The Guardian L'endemà de mudar-se de casa, la Coraline explora les catorze portes de la seva nova llar. Tretze es poden obrir amb normalitat, però la catorzena està tancada i tapiada. Quan per fi aconsegueix obrir-la, la Coraline es troba amb un passadís secret que la condueix a una altra casa tan semblant a la seva que resulta esgarrifosa. No obstant això, hi ha certes diferències que criden la seva atenció: el menjar és més saborós, les joguines són tan desconegudes com meravelloses i, sobretot, hi ha una altra mare i un altre pare que volen que la Coraline es quedi amb ells, es converteixi en la seva filla i no marxi mai. Aviat la Coraline s'adona que, rere els miralls, hi ha altres nens que han caigut en el parany. Són com ànimes perdudes, i ara ella és la seva única esperança de salvació. Però per rescatar-los haurà també de recuperar als seus veritables pares, i complir així el desafiament que li permetrà tornar a la seva vida anterior. Ressenyes:«Aquest llibre t'esgarrifarà i la por se't colarà per les sabates. Posseeix el delicat toc de terror dels millors contes de fades i és una obra mestra. Després de llegir-lo, no tornaràs a mirar un botó com abans.»Terry Pratchett «Delicat i extraordinari, es llegeix com un encreuament d'Alícia al país de les meravelles i Stephen King.»Independent on Sunday «Una fantasia magnífica i sinistra; Gaiman mostra un gran coneixement dels temors dels nens i de la seva capacitat per superar-los.»Kirkus Reviews «Un llibre meravellosament estrany i esgarrifós [...] Neil Gaiman és massa subtil per al·ludir al sobrenatural, és molt més misteriós. Els perills són reals i part de la riquesa d'aquesta història es troba en el fet que ofereix molts significats sense imposar-ne cap.»Philip Pullman, The Guardian «Gaiman aconsegueix teixir una apassionant i addictiva narració, a cavall entre els mites dels contes de fades infantils i el suspens propi d'un film de terror [...] Després de la seva lectura no tornarem a mirar els botons de la mateixa manera i cada vegada que hàgim d'obrir una porta ens ho pensarem dues vegades.»Sandra Pérez, ABC «Coraline és una digna hereva de les grans heroïnes de la literatura infantil, però també ho és de les històries gòtiques de Poe, Lovecraft, etc. Gaiman sap inventar ambients i recrear l'atmòsfera necessària per esgarrapar i, fins i tot en ocasions, fer estremir al lector.»Pep Molist, Quadern, El País

by Neil GaimanAcompaña a Coraline y déjate transportar al mundo de fantasía y terror creado por el premiado autor Neil Gaiman. «Damas y caballeros, niñas y niños, pónganse en pie y aplaudan: Coraline es una obra maestra.»Philip Pullman, The Guardian Al día siguiente de mudarse de casa, Coraline explora las catorce puertas de su nuevo hogar. Trece se pueden abrir con normalidad, pero la decimocuarta está cerrada y tapiada. Cuando por fin consigue abrirla, Coraline se encuentra con un pasadizo secreto que la conduce a otra casa tan parecida a la suya que resulta escalofriante. Sin embargo, hay ciertas diferencias que llaman su atención: la comida es más rica, los juguetes son tan desconocidos como maravillosos y, sobre todo, hay otra madre y otro padre que quieren que Coraline se quede con ellos, se convierta en su hija y no se marche nunca. Pronto Coraline se da cuenta de que, tras los espejos, hay otros niños que han caído en la trampa. Son como almas perdidas, y ahora ella es su única esperanza de salvación.

Neil Gaiman es demasiado sutil para aludir a lo sobrenatural, es mucho más misterioso. Los peligros son reales y parte de la riqueza de esta historia se encuentra en el hecho de que ofrece muchos significados sin imponer ninguno [...].»Philip Pullman, The Guardian «Gaiman logra tejer una apasionante y adictiva narración, a caballo entre los mitos de los cuentos de hadas infantiles y el suspense propio de un filme de terror. [...] Tras su lectura no volveremos a mirar los botones de la misma manera y cada vez que tengamos que abrir una puerta nos lo pensaremos dos veces.»Sandra Pérez, ABC «Coraline es una digna heredera de las grandes heroínas de la literatura infantil, pero también lon es de las historias góticas de Poe, Lovecraft, etc. Gaiman sabe inventar ambientes y recrear la atmósfera necesaria para arañar e, incluso en ocasiones, hecer estremecerse al lector.»Pep Molist, Quadern, El País
Corazones en la Atlantida
by Stephen KingLleno de peligro, lleno de suspense y, sobre todo, lleno de sentimientos, este libro de Stephen King transportará a algunos lectores a un lugar que nunca antes han visitado y a otros, a un lugar que nunca podrán abandonar del todo... Aunque algunos episodios de la década de los sesenta nos parezcan irreales, no son ficticios, ocurrieron de verdad. Stephen King, que ha sido el primer escritor de la generación de la televisión que ha logrado un enorme éxito, publicó en 1974 Carrie, su primera novela, justo un año antes de la retirada de las últimas tropas estadounidenses de Vietnam. Las imágenes de aquella guerra y de las protestas en contra habían inundado las pequeñas pantallas de las casas norteamericanas durante casi diez años, dejando una huella imborrable en toda una generación. En Corazones en la Atlántida, King hipnotiza a sus lectores con una ficción profundamente inspirada en esos años, los sesenta, y explora, a lo largo de cuatro décadas, los estigmas y la herencia psicológica de la guerra de Vietnam en las personas.

She financed her drama education with loans secured by a “lifetime services contract.” If she defaults, her creditors will control every aspect of her life. Behind on her payments and facing foreclosure, Kira reluctantly accepts a large signing bonus to become a corporate gunfighter for TKC Insurance. After a year of training, she will take her place on the dueling fields that have become the final, lethal stop in the American legal system. Putting her MFA in acting to work, Kira takes on the persona of a cold, intimidating gunslinger known as “Death’s Angel.” But just as she becomes the most feared gunfighter in TKC’s stable, she’s severely wounded during a duel on live video, shattering her aura of invincibility. A series of devastating setbacks follow, forcing Kira to face the truth about her life and what she’s become. When the opportunity to fight another professional for a huge purse arises, Kira sees it as a chance to buy a new life . . . or die trying.Structured around a chilling duel, Corporate Gunslinger is a modern satire that forces us to confront the growing inequalities in our society and our penchant for guns and bloodshed, as well as offering a visceral look at where we may be heading—far sooner than we know.

Costruito per durare
by Carmelo Massimo Tidona Steve VernonEra successo giusto ieri, o forse il giorno prima. Le bombe erano state sganciate. Nessuno sapeva perché. Forse uno studio politico era stato preso in attenta considerazione. Forse una borsa di ricerca vi aveva avuto parte. Un nuovo piano per rinvigorire il mercato azionario. Qualche che fosse stata la ragione, di sicuro era stata prestata la dovuta attenzione e tutti gli aspetti erano stati attentamente considerati. Di certo la mozione era passata al senato una volta o due. Dopo tutto, ci sarebbero presto state le elezioni. E così l’avevano fatto. Tutte le vestigia della civiltà erano state spazzate via, a eccezione di qualche testardo cirripede lungo le cupe estremità dell’esistenza. Come, per dire, magari le Province Marittime... COSA DICONO DI STEVE VERNON "A questo genere serve sangue fresco, e Steve Vernon è una bella trasfusione." – Edward Lee, autore di FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL "Se Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch avessero una serata di sesso a tre in una vasca d’acqua calda, e poi un gruppo di scienziati entrasse e filtrasse l’acqua e mescolasse il DNA rimasto in una provetta, l’esperimento genetico risultante molto probabilmente crescerebbe per diventare Steve Vernon." – Bookgasm "Steve Vernon è una sorta di anomalia nel mondo della letteratura horror. È una delle nuove voci più fresche del genere, anche se la sua carriera copre vent’anni. Scrivendo con una baldanza e una fiducia rare, Steve Vernon sa guidare il lettore attraverso un’intera gamma di emozioni, da paura e repulsione fino a pietà e risate." – Cemetery Dance "Armato di un bizzarro senso dello humour, un mucchio di originalità, un talento per il rischio e una forte abilità di caratterizzazione – Steve ha di sicuro un talento." - Dark Discoveries "Steve Vernon è nato per scrivere. È un vero scrittore e siamo fortunati ad averlo." – Richar

Couching at the Door: Strange And Macabre Tales (Tales Of Mystery And The Supernatural Ser.)
by D. K. BrosterIn this collection of dark, supernatural tales the esteemed author D. K. Broster gave full reign to her vivid imagination. Sometimes--as in "The Window" or "The Pestering," or "All Soul's Day"--these are what we might call 'explainable' ghost stories: apparitions or hauntings whose origin is to be found in some violent or unjust action in the past. Other stories, "Couching at the Door" and "From the Abyss," have little or no explanation, even in supernatural terms. Add to these an elegant reworking of the Persephone myth, "The Taste of Pomegranates," the downright bloodthirsty "Clairvoyance," and the psychological studies, "The Promised Land" and "The Pavement" which so well merit the heading 'Madness and Obsession', and you have a collection to disturb and unsettle the strongest nerves.Literary historian Jack Adrian describes Couching at the Door as "a pure masterwork, one of the most satisfying weird collections of the century".
