Nas Profundezas Sombrias
by Steve VernonEra a primeira viagem no mar de Billy McTavish. Ele havia se alistado para sevir como escolta de comboio na THISTLE, uma corveta da Marinha Real do Canadá. Em meio a ataques de submarino e bombardeios de aviões Luftwaffe, Billy achava que já tinha visto todos os horrores que o Atlântico pode oferecer a um jovem marinheiro canadense. Mas Big Jimmy Noonan tinha outras ideias… O QUE ESTÃO DIZENDO SOBRE A ESCRITA DE STEVE VERNON! "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 é um escritor difícil de definir. E isso é uma coisa boa.” – Dark Scribe Magazine "O gênero precisa de sangue novo, e Steve Vernon é uma transfusão e tanto! " –Edward Lee, autor de FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL “Steve Vernon é um dos melhores novos talentos nos gêneros de terror e ficção sombria” - Owl Goingback, autor de CROTA "Steve Vernon nasceu para escrever. Ele é coisa séria, e temos sorte por tê-lo" - Richard Chizmar

Natural Beauty: A Novel
by Ling Ling HuangWinner of the Lambda Literary Award in Bisexual FictionLonglisted for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut NovelSly, surprising, and razor-sharp, Natural Beauty follows a young musician into an elite, beauty-obsessed world where perfection comes at a staggering cost. Our narrator produces a sound from the piano no one else at the Conservatory can. She employs a technique she learned from her parents—also talented musicians—who fled China in the wake of the Cultural Revolution. But when an accident leaves her parents debilitated, she abandons her future for a job at a high-end beauty and wellness store in New York City. Holistik is known for its remarkable products and procedures—from remoras that suck out cheap Botox to eyelash extensions made of spider silk—and her new job affords her entry into a world of privilege and gives her a long-awaited sense of belonging. She becomes transfixed by Helen, the niece of Holistik&’s charismatic owner, and the two strike up a friendship that hazily veers into more. All the while, our narrator is plied with products that slim her thighs, smooth her skin, and lighten her hair. But beneath these creams and tinctures lies something sinister. A piercing, darkly funny debut, Natural Beauty explores questions of consumerism, self-worth, race, and identity—and leaves readers with a shocking and unsettling truth.

Navidad Malvada
by Mark L'EstrangeCada Nochebuena tiene su ritual. En nuestra casa, la regla era que mis hijos podían disfrutar de un banquete de medianoche, si aún estaban despiertos a la hora de las brujas. Revisé mi reloj mientras me secaba las manos en la toalla de baño; Eran las 11.55 p.m. cuando vi a mis dos mayores arrastrarse por el rellano hacia mí. Caminé hacia el rellano y me agaché frente a ellos. Adam, mi primogénito ahora tenía ocho años, alto y delgado, ya estaba formando los anchos hombros de un nadador. Charlotte, su hermana, acababa de cumplir seis años y, como la mujer mayor de la casa, se tomó muy en serio sus deberes al cuidarnos a todos. "¿Qué están haciendo ustedes dos ya?" Pregunté, revolviendo el cabello de Adam y apretando la nariz de Charlotte entre mis dedos. Charlotte se echó hacia atrás, riendo. "Tenemos hambre papi", dijo, apenas por encima de un susurro. A mis hijos se les había enseñado desde una edad temprana a mantener siempre la voz baja cuando su papá tenía un invitado. "Hambriento", enfatizó Adam, casi lloriqueando. Me reí. "Morir de hambre, ¿verdad?" Los empujé a los dos juguetonamente en el vientre. ¿Como si nunca te hubieran alimentado antes, muerto de hambre? Ambos me miraron suplicantes. Justo en ese momento, vi a mi hijo más pequeño detrás de ellos. Melody tenía casi dos años y caminaba tambaleándose. Ella esquivó a sus hermanos, usándolos para estabilizarse antes de tratar de pasarme. La agarré por la cintura y levanté su pequeño cuerpo en brazos, levantándome mientras lo hacía. ¡Un padre no puede tener un favorito! Esa es una norma que me niego a comprometer. Amo a todos mis hijos de la misma manera y, sin embargo, había algo especial en mi pequeña Melody. Desde la primera vez que abrió sus penetrantes ojos azules y me miró sonriendo, sentí el dolor punzante de anticipación que todos los padres deben sufrir la primera vez que su hija aba
