Pablo o la vida en las pampas
by Eduarda MansillaEduarda Mansilla produjo una obra muy personal y de gran carga política, a través de la cual polemizó con sus contemporáneos y se involucró en los debates más importantes de su época. Con prólogo de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara y notas introductorias de Alejandra Laera. «Los europeos nos juzgan siempre severamente. Para ellos, seremos siempre salvajes. Es verdad, hay guerras en nuestro país, pero en Europa también las hay, y allí como aquí se ven siempre en pugna las dos corrientes que agitan los mundos... Luz y sombra.» Pablo o la vida en las pampas narra la historia de un joven gaucho que se debate entre las ansias de libertad y la persecución de la justicia, y a través de ella, habla de la tensión entre política y sociedad, campo y ciudad, costumbres y ley. Con una mirada muy personal, Eduarda Mansilla alerta sobre la desprotección de los habitantes de la campaña y hace una valiente crítica al accionar del Estado. «La autora está en Francia cuando escribe esta novela y la escribe en francés. Ese ser puente, ese erigirse en intérprete de lo nacional para explicárselo a los otros, es el gesto de Pablo o la vida en las pampas. Pero no es el único gesto: Eduarda habla para afuera, lo dice explícitamente. Lo que no dice pero no deja de ser claro es que también habla para adentro: telegrama para el presidente Domingo Faustino Sarmiento.»Gabriela Cabezón Cámara

Padre Salas
by Rachel Christina Hopkinson Enrique LasoThis is the story of Padre Salas, the most charismatic character from the bestselling novel Hell Calling, which dazzled thousands of readers across the globe, and has recently been adapted for cinema by Luis Endera. In this prequel, we discover what caused Padre Salas’ flight from Mexico, leading to his taking refuge in Madrid. We will encounter the terrifying cases of multiple possessions of several girls in towns and villages around Guadalajara (Mexico). This is a novel filled with moments of excitement, tension, and no shortage of fear, guaranteed to captivate all those who love the genre. Extract from Chapter 1: The girl had spent the entire night howling. It was a visceral noise, more commonly associated with a wild animal, than the gaunt, virtually emaciated body of a little girl, who was barely ten years old. She lay curled up on a rough bed, which had been thrown together out of lumpy sacks of hay. Her parents, more out of desperation than resentment or fear, had confined her to a shed, which they used mainly for keeping the rain off the farming tools, and for storing a few low-value belongings that they had inherited over the years from different family members. The doctor approached the child with apprehension; she seemed to be sleeping, although her breathing was broken by a constant shaking that was not of human origin. “How many days has she been lying in this state?” “A… a week…” the mother dared to say, certain that she was about to receive an immediate reprimand from the doctor. The doctor heaved a sigh of resignation and, picking up the girl’s hand, he tried to measure her pulse. He felt a shiver run down his spine as he noticed that her heart was hardly beating at all… little more than 20 beats per minute! It was completely impossible.

Pandemic
by Scott SiglerScott Sigler's Infected shocked readers with a visceral, up-close account of physical metamorphosis and one man's desperate fight for sanity and survival, as "Scary" Perry Dawsey suffered the impact of an alien pathogen's early attempts at mass extinction. In the sequel Contagious, Sigler pulled back the camera and let the reader experience the frantic national response to this growing cataclysm. And now in Pandemic, the entire human race balances on the razor's edge of annihilation, beset by an enemy that turns our own bodies against us, that changes normal people into psychopaths or transforms them into nightmares. To some, Doctor Margaret Montoya is a hero--a brilliant scientist who saved the human race from an alien intelligence determined to exterminate all of humanity. To others, she's a monster--a mass murderer single-handedly responsible for the worst atrocity ever to take place on American soil. All Margaret knows is that she's broken. The blood of a million deaths is on her hands. Guilt and nightmares have turned her into a shut-in, too mired in self-hatred even to salvage her marriage, let alone be the warrior she once was. But she is about to be called into action again. Because before the murderous intelligence was destroyed, it launched one last payload -- a soda can-sized container filled with deadly microorganisms that make humans feed upon their own kind. That harmless-looking container has languished a thousand feet below the surface of Lake Michigan, undisturbed and impotent . . . until now. Part Cthulhu epic, part zombie apocalypse and part blockbuster alien-invasion tale, Pandemic completes the Infected trilogy and sets a new high-water mark in the world of horror fiction.

Entire countries have fallen. And our planet's fate now rests on a small group of unlikely heroes, racing to find a cure before the enemies surrounding them can close in.
