H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life
by Michel HouellebecqThe award-winning French novelist pays tribute to a literary hero in this critical biography of the master of horror—with a foreword by Stephen King.Best known for his acclaimed novels, such as the Prix Goncourt-winning The Map and the Territory, Michael Houellebecq devotes his single work of nonfiction to the pioneering author of horror and weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft. In a volume that is part biographical sketch and part pronouncement on existence and literature, France's most famous contemporary author praises his prewar American alter ego, whose style couldn't be less like his own.With a foreword by Lovecraft admirer Stephen King, this eloquently translated edition is an insightful introduction to both Lovecraft’s dark mythology and Houellebecq’s deadpan prose.
H.P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition: The Master of Horror's Influence on Modern Occultism
by John L. SteadmanA Lovecraft scholar presents a penetrating study of the author’s life, work, and connections to modern occultism.Many practicing occultists have speculated that H. P. Lovecraft possessed in-depth knowledge of black magick. Yet literary scholars maintain the renowned horror writer was simply a master of his craft, and that the enduring power of his work is purely the result of his rich imagination.In H.P. Lovecraft & the Black Magical Tradition, John L. Steadman examines the considerable overlap between the author’s fictions and true occultism—and consider whether Lovecraft was a practitioner of the dark arts himself.Weaving Lovecraft’s biography together with literary criticism and modern magickal systems, Steadman demonstrates that Lovecraft’s works—specifically his Cthulhu Mythos and his creation of the Necronomicon—represent the basis for a legitimate magickal system.

Hades, Argentina
by Daniel LoedelRegada de profundas preguntas sobre las elecciones a veces imposibles que hacemos en nombre del amor, Hades, Argentina es un debut literario apasionante, lleno de misterio e ingeniosamente narrado. Una década después de exiliarse por su supervivencia, un hombre regresa a la argentina arrastrado por un amor que se resiste a morir. Buenos Aires, 1976. Tomás Orilla, joven estudiante de medicina, se reencuentra con el amor de su infancia. Para su sorpresa, ya no distingue en Isabel a la chica que lo encandiló tiempo atrás: hoy es una mujer profundamente comprometida en su lucha política. Tomás está dispuesto a correr cualquier riesgo con tal de demostrarle que sus sentimientos por ella siguen vivos y son incondicionales. Aunque el costo sea alto. Pasarán unos cuantos años hasta que una citación obligue a Tomás, que ahora se hace llamar Thomas Shore, a volver a su país desde Nueva York. Lo que le espera no es un regreso al hogar sino una auténtica odisea, un viaje por el pasado, un encuentro con los fantasmas de aquellos a los que dejó atrás y un ajuste de cuentas entre aquel en quien se ha convertido y el que alguna vez aspiró a ser. Debut literario ingenioso y atrapante, Daniel Loedel ha sembrado en este relato profundos interrogantes sobre las elecciones, a veces imposibles, que hacemos en nombre de una pasión. Un tour de force emocional en el que se entreveran y confunden vida política y pulsión sentimental. Un descenso a los infiernos de la obsesión amorosa. La crítica dijo... «Esta inquietante novela entreteje la traición y el sacrificio de forma tan intrincada que uno no puede separarse del otro».The New Yorker «Poderosa. La simple delicadeza de la prosa de Loedel se adapta no solo al horror de su tema, sino también a la premisa arriesgada de su novela. El infierno es a la vez metáfora y escenario, presunción literaria y realidad emocional. La estancia de Tomás allí es un tributo conmovedor a la hermana del autor y a sus compañeras y también víctimas».The Economist «Una novela asombrosamente poderosa sobre la naturaleza compleja de la culpa. Enfrenta lo personal a lo político con verdadera precisión emocional y aguda habilidad narrativa».Colm Tóibín
