Los visitantes (Agencia Lockwood #1)
by Jonathan StroudLucy, George y Anthony forman la Agencia Lockwood. Su misión: nada menos que hacer frente a una epidemia de fantasmas que están sembrando el pánico en Inglaterra Desde que se desató «el Problema» las Islas Británicas han sido poco a poco invadidas por los Visitantes, es decir, fantasmas, espectros y demás manifestaciones del otro mundo. Aunque solo se manifiestan de noche y son totalmente imperceptibles para los adultos, pueden llegar a ser peligrosos de verdad. Las Agencias de Investigación y Control Psíquico son las encargadas de luchar contra estas inquietantes presencias. La agencia Lockwood & Co. es de lo más peculiar: no es una de esas agencias súper modernas con sede en el centro de Londres, sino más bien de las pequeñas y destartaladas. Sus únicos integrantes son la intrépida agente Lucy Carlyle, que tiene el don de detectar espectros; Anthony Lockwood, el carismático propietario de la agencia; y George..., bueno, George es George. Los tres chicos tienen talento y están preparados para enfrentar cualquier desafío y resolver todos los misterios. Y, aunque tienen sus diferencias, están de acuerdo en lo más importante: los adultos son un estorbo y van a tener que resolver su misión sin su ayuda. Aunque no va a ser nada fácil porque, en asuntos de fantasmas, ¿quién puede estar seguro del todo? Rick Riordan, eminencia en el género, ha dicho... «Esta novela te mantendrá leyendo hasta bien entrada la noche, y luego querrás dejar las luces encendidas... ¡Añade Los Visitantes a tu lista de libros que hay que leer!» Y la prensa afirma... «El queridísimo autor de la trilogía «Bartimeo» regresa con una serie nueva de cazafantasmas adolescente. No va a decepcionar a los fans; pues encontrarán fantasmas feroces, giros ingeniosos y unos protagonistas estupendos.» The Bookseller

Lost and Wanted: A novel
by Nell FreudenbergerNew York Times Best SellerNamed a Best Book of 2019 by Vogue and NPR's Maureen Corrigan"Freudenberger's brilliant and compassionate novel takes on the big questions of the universe and proves, again, that she is one of America's greatest writers." --Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of LessAn emotionally engaging, suspenseful new novel from the best-selling author, told in the voice of a renowned physicist: an exploration of female friendship, romantic love, and parenthood--bonds that show their power in surprising ways.Helen Clapp's breakthrough work on five-dimensional spacetime landed her a tenured professorship at MIT; her popular books explain physics in plain terms. Helen disdains notions of the supernatural in favor of rational thought and proven ideas. So it's perhaps especially vexing for her when, on an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday in June, she gets a phone call from a friend who has just died.That friend was Charlotte Boyce, Helen's roommate at Harvard. The two women had once confided in each other about everything--in college, the unwanted advances Charlie received from a star literature professor; after graduation, Helen's struggles as a young woman in science, Charlie's as a black screenwriter in Hollywood, their shared challenges as parents. But as the years passed, Charlie became more elusive, and her calls came less and less often. And now she's permanently, tragically gone. As Helen is drawn back into Charlie's orbit, and also into the web of feelings she once had for Neel Jonnal--a former college classmate now an acclaimed physicist on the verge of a Nobel Prize-winning discovery--she is forced to question the laws of the universe that had always steadied her mind and heart. Suspenseful, perceptive, deeply affecting, Lost and Wanted is a story of friends and lovers, lost and found, at the most defining moments of their lives.

Since 1990, the production of horror films has risen exponentially worldwide, and in 2013, horror films earned an estimated $400 million in ticket sales. Horror has long been the most popular film genre, and more horror movies have been made than any other kind. We need them.

Lost in the Dark: A World History of Horror Film is a straightforward history written for the general reader and student that can serve as a comprehensive reference work. The volume provides a general introduction to the genre, serves as a guidebook to its film highlights, and celebrates its practitioners, trends, and stories. Starting with silent-era horror films and ending with 2020’s The Invisible Man, Lost in the Dark looks at decades of horror movies. Author Brad Weismann covers such topics as the roots of horror in literature and art, monster movies, B-movies, the destruction of the American censorship system, international horror, torture porn, zombies, horror comedies, horror in the new millennium, and critical reception of modern horror. A sweeping survey that doesn’t scrimp on details, Lost in the Dark is sure to satisfy both the curious and the completist.
