Ether
by Ben EhrenreichPraise for Ben Ehrenreich's first novel The Suitors:"Smart and postmodern in a puckish, Calvino-like sense. . . . Ehrenreich writes with an ease and pure line-by-line skill that's rare."-The New York Times Book Review"Ehrenreich blends Tom Robbins' sly humor with Steve Erickson's bubbling sense of the subconscious and Voltaire's irreverent twists of plot."-Los Angeles Times Book Review"Ehrenreich shows the stirrings of an original talent."-Publishers Weekly"Brilliant, and at the same time moving. It's a relief to know that literature exists yet."-Juan GoytisoloA bearded man in a badly soiled suit known only as The Stranger wanders an apocalyptic landscape on the fringes of a dying metropolis, looking for a way to "get back on top." Thwarted and rejected at every turn by old friends and strangers alike-even by the author of this novel, whom he visits repeatedly in unsuccessful attempts to determine his own narrative-his impotence and rage are expressed in acts of seemingly senseless violence. The various characters he encounters on his journey-a pack of sadistic boys, skinheads who beat him senseless, a deaf-mute woman who tries to heal him, a sidewalk preacher, and a deranged man who identifies him as The One-avoid or abuse him, or attempt to follow him.Entertaining, disturbing, and wildly intelligent, written with sinister humor and great compassion, Ether reflects on the possibilities and consequences of forgiveness, the problems of faith, and the trials of creation.Ben Ehrenreich is an award-winning journalist and fiction writer. Ether is his second novel.
Eu Sei Porque as Águas do Mar Têm Gosto de Sal: Contos do Mar de Steve Vernon # 3
by Steve VernonEsta é uma história ambientada em uma Okinawa devastada pela guerra, nos últimos dias da Campanha do Pacífico, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. É contada do ponto de vista de um jovem piloto kamikaze, prestes a chocar o seu avião caça contra a lateral de um navio de guerra norte-americano. É uma história sobre culpa, solidão, lembranças e sobre o gosto do mar. Ah, e também tem um monstro do mar! Imagino que eu tenha que mencionar isso... O QUE ESTÃO DIZENDO SOBRE STEVE VERNON "O gênero precisa de sangue novo, e Steve Vernon é uma transfusão e tanto! " –Edward Lee, autor de FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL " Se Harlan Ellis, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch fizessem um ménage à trois em uma banheira quente, e então uma equipe de cientistas viesse, filtrasse toda a água e misturasse o DNA restante em um tubo de ensaio, o resultado do experimento genético provavelmente viria a tornar-se Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm " Steve Vernon é uma espécie de anomalia no mundo da literatura de terror. Ele é uma das novas vozes mais revigorantes no gênero, embora sua carreira já se estenda por vinte anos. Escrevendo com rara arrogância e confiança, Steve Vernon pode levar seus leitores por uma gama inteira de emoções que vão desde o medo e a repulsa escancarados à compaixão e aos risos." - Cemetery Dance " Armado com um senso de humor bizarro, uma enorme dose de originalidade, um dom para assumir riscos e um forte domínio sobre caracterização – Steve tem o jeito, com certeza." - Dark Discoveries " Steve Vernon nasceu para escrever. Ele é coisa séria, e temos sorte por tê-lo." - Richard Chizmar Minha mãe também acha que eu sou bem legal.
Eu era Jack, O Estripador
by Michael Bray José Carcagnolo NetoQuando Jack, o Estripador, aterrorizou Londres em 1888, ele desencadearia um mistério quando desaparecesse e sua série de assassinatos violentos e terríveis terminasse com a mesma rapidez com que começavam, deixando um dos mais antigos crimes não resolvidos do mundo em seu rastro. Agora, em 1907, o biógrafo Charles Hapgood está prestes a ser visitado por um homem com assombrosas alegações de que ele era o famoso Estripador e deseja contar sua história antes de sua futura morte. Cético a princípio, Hapgood concorda em ouvir sua história, apenas para logo mostrar provas indiscutíveis de que seu visitante fala a verdade e é quem ele diz ser. Enquanto Hapgood escuta o conto do homem, ele é atraído para um mundo de dor, crueldade, terror e tristeza ao descobrir como uma criança inocente se transformou no maior monstro vivo que o mundo já viu. À medida que a história se desenrola, ele começa a temer por sua própria segurança, como o homem conhecido como Jack The Ripper conta sua história em suas próprias palavras, um conto que vai muito além do tempo conhecido de seus horríveis crimes e atinge novas profundezas de terror e depravação que Hapgood nunca poderia ter imaginado.

Eutopia: A Novel of Terrible Optimism (The Book of the Juke Series #1)
by David NickleThis debut horror novel by the author of acclaimed short story collection Monstrous Affections &“establishes him as a worthy heir to the mantle of Stephen King&” (National Post). Set in 1911, Eutopia &“mixes utopian vision, rustic Americana, and pure creepiness. . . . Nickle blends Little House on the Prairie with distillates of Rosemary&’s Baby and The X-Files to create a chilling survival-of-the-fittest story&” (Publishers Weekly). Situated on the edge of the woods and mountains of northern Idaho, the tiny settlement of Eliada is an industrialist&’s attempt to create heaven on earth. But its secrets are soon to be unveiled, as Jason Thistledown, the sole survivor of a mysterious plague in Montana, and Andrew Waggoner, a black doctor nearly lynched by the KKK, delve beneath the façade of the utopian mill town. What they discover is science warped by ideology—and an unearthly monster that preys on the faith of its own true believers . . . &“A story of piano-wire suspense, grotesque horrors, and, above all, visceral insight into the race politics of American horror, and how they are bound up with the American project itself.&” —Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing Praise for David Nickle &“His stories are dark, wildly imaginative, and deeply compassionate—even when they&’re laced with righteous anger.&” —Nathan Ballingrud, author of Wounds &“David Nickle is Canada&’s answer to Stephen King. His writing charms even as it slices like a blade between the ribs: sharp, subtle, and never less than devastating.&” —Helen Marshall, author of Gifts for the One Who Comes After

Even the Dogs: A Novel
by Jon Mcgregor"A ferocious book, at once intense and alarmingly unsentimental" (James Wood, The New Yorker), this intimate exploration of life at the edges of society is littered with love, loss, despair, and a half–glimpse of redemption―now reissued with an introduction by Yiyun LiOn a cold, quiet day between Christmas and the New Year, a man's body is found in an abandoned apartment. His friends look on, but they're dead, too. Their bodies found in squats and sheds and alleyways across the city. Victims of heroin, they're ghosts in the shadows, a chorus keeping vigil as the hours pass, paying their own particular homage as their friend's body is taken away, examined, investigated, and cremated.All of their stories are laid out piece by broken piece through a series of fractured narratives. We meet Robert, the deceased, the only alcoholic in a sprawling group of junkies; Danny, just back from uncomfortable holidays with family, who discovers the body; Laura, Robert's daughter, who stumbles into the drug addict's life when she moves in with her father after years apart; Heather, who has her own home for the first time since she was a teenager; Mike, the Falklands War vet; and all the others. Theirs are stories of lives fallen through the cracks, hopes flaring and dying, love overwhelmed by more immediate needs. These invisible people live in a parallel reality to most of us, out of reach of food and shelter. And in their sudden deaths, it becomes clear, they are treated with more respect than they ever were in their short lives.Winner of the International Dublin Literary Award, Even the Dogs is a daring and humane exploration of homelessness and addiction from "a writer who will make a significant stamp on world literature. In fact, he already has" (Colum McCann, winner of the National Book Award).
