Le Jour du Zombie
by Diana Brandão Lee PletzersIls pensaient être en sécurité. Croyant être en sécurité des attaques de Zombies qui avaient détruit le reste du monde dix ans plus tôt, une certaine normalité c'est installé sur une petite communauté du bord de mer. Les Zombies n'étaient pas arrivés. Une célébration s'ensuit. Le mot est passé que la célébration sera tenue dans la cité centrale de Wellington, prenant une chance un petit groupe d'hommes s'y rend. Tout est comme ça devrait être. Ils sont les bienvenus. Il y avait un sentiment d'espoir pour un nouveau début. Mais... Une petite fille appelle son chien qui joue sur la plage. Le chien ne répond pas. Fâchée, elle s'approche du chien, il la mord. Elle court à la maison en pleurant. Gary est une des personnes qui a pris la chance de visiter la ville; il a ses propres raisons pour retourner et n'est pas intéressé en l'évènement pour réunir les gens et le pays. Il veut seulement aller à la maison. Retourner aux mémoires d'une vie précédente, une vie qui lui manque. Il voit la fille fuir de la plage. Quelques moments plus tard le chien s'approche en grognant. Il doit utiliser plusieurs balles pour l'immobiliser. Sur la plage il voit une chose qui lui glace le sang. Il retourne vers la ville quand les cris commencent. Le temps s'écoule. Le Jour du Zombie a un humain immunisé contre le virus, mais qui présente tous les signes d'infection, la peau pourrissante, les habitudes alimentaires violentes et une femme. Il documente le jour où le virus atteint finalement leurs côtes. Il sait qu'une fois que le document sera fini, les chefs du village le tueront. Et il accepte cette destinée.

Puis ça empire : le séduisant et irrésistible Callum Dawson fait son apparition sur le pas de sa porte, clamant qu'Ezra a été transformé en loup-garou. Ezra voudrait être sceptique, mais les preuves sont difficiles à ignorer. Ezra n'a pas beaucoup de temps pour s'habituer aux règles du jeu que l'Alpha Callum lui impose - ou à la façon dont son corps répond à la domination de Callum - tandis qu'il commence à travailler pour le Centre pour le Contrôle des Maladies afin de découvrir l'origine d'une épidémie de lycans. Quand la tension sexuelle explose enfin, Ezra a à peine le temps d'en profiter parce qu'un autre danger les menace. Quelqu'un veut s'en prendre à lui à des fins peu scrupuleuses et fera tout pour y arriver.

Le père Salas
by Carole Salas Enrique LasoLe personnage le plus charismatique du roman DEPUIS L'ENFER, le best-seller qui a captivé des milliers de lecteurs du monde entier, adapté au cinéma par Luis Endera. Dans cette espèce de spin-off, nous découvrirons ce qui a poussé le père Salas à s'enfuir du Mexique pour se réfugier à Madrid. Nous connaîtrons le cas terrifiant de possessions multiples de plusieurs fillettes dans des villages des alentours de Guadalajara (Mexique). Un roman chargé d'émotion, de tension et de beaucoup de terreur, qui fascinera les amateurs du genre. __________________ Extrait de l'ouvrage : La fillette avait passé toute la nuit à gémir. Elle émettait pratiquement une sorte de ronflement guttural, sorti des entrailles d'un animal, plutôt que du corps décharné, presque famélique, d'une enfant âgée d'à peine dix ans. Elle gisait recroquevillée sur elle-même dans une litière faite de bottes de paille inégalement distribuée. Ses parents, par désespoir plutôt que par ressentiment ou crainte, l'avaient confinée dans une cabane utilisée pour protéger de la pluie les outils de travail et quelques propriétés de faible valeur qu'ils avaient héritées de divers membres de la famille aux cours des années. Le médecin s'approcha avec appréhension de la petite, qui semblait dormir, bien que sa respiration fût marquée de secousses constantes, impropres à un être humain. - Ca fait combien de jours qu'elle est plongée dans cet état de prostration ? - Une... une semaine... osa répondre la mère, convaincue de recevoir immédiatement un reproche de la part du médecin. Le docteur lança un soupir de résignation et, prenant la main de l'enfant, essaya de lui prendre le pouls. Un frisson intense lui traversa le corps lorsqu'il se rendit compte que le cœur de l'enfant battait à peine... un peu plus de 20 pulsations par m

L'eau
by Lee PletzersNote de l’auteur: Quand j'avais seize ans et que je vivais à Wellsford et sortais avec une femme qui restera anonyme, nous sommes tombés sur un puits en traversant la ferme de quelqu'un. C'était juste un trou dans le sol couvert d’un couvercle en bois. Les mauvaises herbes avaient poussé dessus et les vaches étaient restées à l'écart. Ma petite amie (de l'époque) m'avait dit que c'était le puits de Cléments. Étant nouveau dans la région, je n'en avais jamais entendu parler, alors elle m'a raconté l'histoire. On l'a surnommé le Puits Sauteur et apparemment quelqu'un s'est suicidé par ... tu as deviné, en s’y jetant et s’était noyé. Naturellement je ne la croyais pas et à l'époque il n'y avait pas d’Internet pour vérifier les faits. Des semaines plus tard, au pub (oui, j'avais seize ans - je sais, je sais), j'ai rencontré un vieux chroniqueur qui m’avait raconté à peu près la même histoire, quoique beaucoup plus excitante. Maintenant, à l'âge de quarante et un ans, je n’y crois toujours pas, mais quand on m'a demandé la soumission de cette anthologie, je me suis souvenu du puits et quand ceci a été écrit, la Nouvelle-Zélande souffrait d'une longue sécheresse. Quel meilleur endroit pour avoir de l'eau, à mon avis.

Leeches
by David Albahari Ellen Elias-BursacThe place is Serbia, the time is the late 1990s. Our protagonist, a single man, writes a regular op-ed column for a Belgrade newspaper and spends the rest of his time with his best friend, smoking pot and talking about sex, politics, and life in general. One day on the shore of the Danube he spots a man slapping a beautiful woman. Intrigued, he follows the woman into the tangled streets of the city until he loses sight of her. A few days later he receives a mysterious manuscript whose contents seem to mutate each time he opens it. To decipher the manuscript--a collection of fragments on the Kabbalah and the history of the Jews of Zemun and Belgrade--he contacts an old schoolmate, now an eccentric mathematician, and a group of men from the Jewish community. As the narrator delves deeper into arcane topics, he begins to see signs of anti-Semitism, past and present, throughout the city and he feels impelled to denounce it. But his increasingly passionate columns erupt in a scandal culminating in murder. Following in the footsteps of Foucault's Pendulum, Leeches is a cerebral adventure into the underground worlds of secret societies and conspiracy theories.
