Hammers on Bone
by Cassandra KhawCassandra Khaw bursts onto the scene with Hammers on Bone, a hard-boiled horror show that Charles Stross calls "possibly the most promising horror debut of 2016." A finalist for the British Fantasy award and the Locus Award for Best Novella! John Persons is a private investigator with a distasteful job from an unlikely client. He’s been hired by a ten-year-old to kill the kid’s stepdad, McKinsey. The man in question is abusive, abrasive, and abominable. He’s also a monster, which makes Persons the perfect thing to hunt him. Over the course of his ancient, arcane existence, he’s hunted gods and demons, and broken them in his teeth.

Luckily Persons is no stranger to the occult, being an ancient and magical intelligence himself. The question is whether the private dick can take down the abusive stepdad without releasing the holds on his own horrifying potential.

Hammurabi Road: A Tale Of Northern Ontario Vengeance
by Steve VernonHammurabi Road è un racconto noir di bifolchi, vendetta, giustizia rurale e l'avvicinarsi di un orso nero ai limiti dell'immaginabile. Inizia con l'eterno triangolo: quattro uomini su un furgone, tre davanti e uno dietro legato e imbavagliato. È un chiaro caso di vendetta nelle ferrovie, freddo come un coltello da caccia gelato.
Hammurabi Strasse
by Steve VernonDie Hammurabi Road ist eine dunkle Hinterwäldler-Novelle der Vergeltung, der Hinterwäldler-Gerechtigkeit und der Annäherung an einen Schwarzbären, wie man es sich nie hätte träumen lassen. Wir beginnen mit dem ewigen Dreieck - vier Männer fahren in einem Pick-up aus, drei vorne und einer mit Klebeband gefesselt und gefesselt hinten. Es ist ein klarer Fall von Eisenbahn-Rache, der so kalt serviert wird wie ein gefrorenes Jagdmesser. WAS DIE LEUTE ÜBER STEVE VERNON SAGEN! "Steve Vernon ist so etwas wie eine Anomalie in der Welt der Horrorliteratur. Er ist eine der frischesten neuen Stimmen in diesem Genre, obwohl sich seine Karriere über zwanzig Jahre erstreckt hat. Steve Vernon schreibt mit einer seltenen Prahlerei und Zuversicht und kann seine Leser durch eine ganze Palette von Emotionen führen, von offener Angst und Abscheu bis hin zu Mitleid und Lachen. - Friedhofstanz "Bewaffnet mit einem bizarren Sinn für Humor, einer enormen Portion Originalität, einem Gespür für Risiken und einem ausgeprägten Gespür für Charakterisierung - Steve hat es ganz sicher drauf. - Dunkle Entdeckungen "Steve Vernon wurde geboren, um zu schreiben. Er ist das einzig Wahre, und wir können uns glücklich schätzen, ihn zu haben." - Richard Chizmar Meine Mutter findet mich auch ziemlich cool.
Hampton Heights: One Harrowing Night in the Most Haunted Neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
by Dan Kois"Splendid . . . what really sells this imaginative, scary, verge-of-growing-up tale is its characters, each with a distinct voice and personality. . . . Kois' surprising second novel is a natural for fans of the character-based horror fiction of Grady Hendrix or Paul Tremblay and will win him a whole new sphere of readers." —Booklist"Marvelous, tender, and unpredictable, Hampton Heights captures the uncanniness and discomfort of early adolescence. There’s a pinch of Ray Bradbury, a soupçon of Stephen King, a dash of fairy tale logic, but Dan Kois makes something entirely his own out of this familiar and always pleasurable territory."—Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love"Like Stand by Me mixed with Stranger Things and The Twilight Zone, Hampton Heights is a rollicking chronicle of youth set loose among mystery and monsters. Dan Kois deftly conjures a boundless world that's chilling, wondrous, and delightful."—Adam Sternbergh, author of The Eden TestFrom the author of the Washington Post notable novel Vintage Contemporaries, something completely unexpected: a hair-raising and rollicking adventure set on one night in 1987, when six paperboys must confront a slew of monsters as well as their own personal demons in a haunted Midwestern neighborhood.On a cold winter’s evening in 1987, six middle-school paperboys wander an unfamiliar Milwaukee neighborhood, selling newspaper subscriptions, fueled by their manager Kevin’s promises of cash bonuses and dinner at Burger King. But the freaks come out at night in Hampton Heights. Sent out into the neighborhood in pairs, the boys will encounter a host of primordial monsters—and triumph over them.Sigmone, who is bussed to a white school, is stuck with Joel, a white kid who idolizes Black culture. Mark, who's wrestling with his sexuality, joins his secret crush, Ryan. Nishu and Al are outsiders; one is a second-generation immigrant, the other a poor kid in a rich school. Over the course of one eventful evening, the three pairs will encounter the wild things of Hampton Heights—werewolves, witches with a centuries-old story to tell, and a creepy, ancient monster who feeds on memories. Meanwhile, Kevin is having an adventure of his own, seducing a beautiful woman in the neighborhood’s tavern . . . but who is actually in control?Funny, thrilling, outrageous, and sneakily beautiful, Dan Kois’s Hampton Heights captures without sentimentality the dreams and fears of teenage boys in a tender horror-comedy about camaraderie, bravery, vulnerability, and the terrifying prospect of growing up.

But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams. Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher's empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and innocent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr. Lecter likes best. Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, Hannibal is a dazzling feast for the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.

Harbart
by Nabarun BhattacharyaThis beloved cult novel—about a young man who makes a business of relaying messages from the dead—is now in a sparkling English translation Poor, poor, hard-luck Herbert Sarkar: born into a fancy Calcutta family but cursed from birth (his philandering movie director father is killed in a car crash and his mother dies soon after, when he’s still just a baby), he is taken as an orphan into his uncle’s house, only to fall further and further down the family totem pole. Despite good looks (“Hollywood-ish, Leslie Howard-ish)” and native talents, he is scorned by all but his kind aunt. Poor Herbert: so lovable but so little loved. Cheated of his inheritance, living on the roof in cast-off clothing, he pines for love, but all is woe: his own nephews beat him up. At twenty, however, he suddenly seems to possess the gift of speaking with the dead. Herbert is bathed in glory. From less than zero to starry heights—what an apotheosis. The wheel of fortune turns again, all too soon... Legendary, scathingly satiric, wildly energetic, deeply tender, Herbert is an Indian masterwork.
