Lupo scaccia lupo
by Stella Mattioli Ashlyn Kane Morgan JamesSono le nove del mattino dopo il funerale di suo padre ed Ezra Jones sa già che sarà una brutta giornata. Si sveglia con i postumi di una sbronza, dolorante e coperto di sangue. Poi la giornata peggiora: l'attraente e ammaliante Callum Dawson si presenta alla sua porta, sostenendo che Ezra è stato trasformato in un lupo mannaro. Ezra cerca di essere scettico, ma le prove sono troppo schiaccianti per essere ignorate. Ezra non ha molto tempo per abituarsi alle regole imposte dall'Alfa Callum - o al modo in cui il suo corpo risponde alla dominanza di Callum Dawson - perché è impegnato a lavorare per il CDC per aiutare a scoprire le cause di un'epidemia fra i lupi mannari. Quando la tensione sessuale finalmente si risolve, Ezra ha appena il tempo di goderselo, perché una nuova minaccia incombe. Qualcuno vuole arrivare a lui per i suoi scopi senza scrupoli, e farà qualunque cosa per catturarlo.

A Luz de Tina
by Richard Stooker Catia A. G. FernandesVinte e um anos depois, Paul Templeton ainda não sabe se no seu antigo sonho é ele quem viola e assassina a sua própria irmã. O assassino talhante escapa. Os pesadelos torturam Paul. Se não foi ele quem assassinou Tina, como pôde ele testemunhar o assassinato, sonhar que assistiu a tudo através de um espelho? Agora, uma bela jovem vem viver para o bairro, lembrando-lhe Tina. Estará também o assassino atrás dela? Embora Paul nunca tenha tocado em Tina de outra forma além da fraternal, ama-a como mulher. Enquanto ela esteve viva e 21 anos depois da sua morte macabra. Agora, um homem de negócios tailandês, acompanhado pela sua bela filha Khamnah, vem viver para o bairro de Paul. Khamnah tem tantas semelhanças com Tina, e isso magoa Paul. Também ela tem o brilho da luz do Mundo Oculto, o universo espiritual transcendente onde vive Tina. A luz brilhante do coração e da personalidade de Khamnah ajuda Paul a ignorar os escárnios céticos do psiquiatra Jack Harrison. Mas não consegue esquecer a ameaça do violador talhante que é procurado pela polícia. Dez mulheres nos últimos cinco meses. Um modus operandi similar ao do assassino de Tina, há 21 anos atrás. Paul teme pela vida de Khamnah, pois receia que a história se possa repetir. Nessa noite, sonha novamente, mas não é a cara de Tina que vê no espelho. Em vez disso, vê Khamnah sentada a escovar o cabelo, enquanto o assassino entra. Este conto NÃO é para si se: 1. Fica incomodado com referências a sexualidade "desviante". 2. Não consegue lidar com uma descrição não-gratuita de violação e assassinato. 3. Procura um conto erótico explícito para alimentar as suas próprias fantasias "desviantes". 4. Não quiser considerar as fronteiras entre a fantasia e a realidade, e entre a obsessão emocional e os poderes psíquicos. 5. Prefere histórias sobre pessoas "normais". (Embora,

La Luz Nocturna: Cuidado con lo que deseas
by Alex ZuchiMi nombre es Antônio Pereira, pero todos me conocen como Arthur Black. Soy un escritor. He sido rico, influyente y codiciado, gracias a mis historias infantiles. He perdido casi todo, ya saben cómo es... lo que viene fácil, fácil se va... Ya que estoy abriendo mi corazón, debo confesar que mentí sobre mi libro más famoso. Aquel libro que se convirtió en un gran éxito en el cine. Siempre pensé que jamás hablarían sobre el asunto, pero yo estaba equivocado. Me contactó el hombre que conoce mi secreto y me hizo una oferta que no pude rechazar. Le prometí que escribiría un nuevo cuento infantil y que seguiría todas sus reglas. Comienzo a darme cuenta de que hay algo muy extraño en este lugar al que me trajo y en el que luego me dejó solo. Mis noches son atormentadas por situaciones que escapan a mi comprensión. ¿Alucinaciones? ¿Realidad? No sé decirlo. Hay puertas en este mundo que se abren en lugares desconocidos. Tal vez ellas son las responsables del surgimiento de las siluetas, las voces y la luz blanca e intensa que irrumpe desde la oscuridad del campo. Cada día que permanezco aquí, más nebulosa se vuelve mi percepción. La única certeza que tengo es que el libro que escribo todos los días se vuelve completamente diferente justo después de irme a dormir.

Lynnwood
by Thomas BrownFINALIST in the PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZEThe unthinkable is happening in Lynnwood – a village with centuries of guilt on its conscience.Who wouldn't want to live in an idyllic village in the English countryside like Lynnwood? With its charming pub, old dairy, friendly vicar, gurgling brooks, and its old paths with memories of simpler times.But behind the conventional appearance of Lynnwood's villagers, only two sorts of people crawl out of the woodwork: those who hunt and those who are prey.

M (Devil's Advocates)
by Samm DeighanFritz Lang’s first sound feature, M (1931), is one of the earliest serial killer films in cinema history and laid the foundation for future horror movies and thrillers, particularly those with a disturbed killer as protagonist. Peter Lorre’s child killer, Hans Beckert, is presented as monstrous, yet sympathetic, building on themes presented in the earlier German Expressionist horror films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The Hands of Orlac. Lang eerily foreshadowed the rising fascist horrors in German society, and transforms his cinematic Berlin into a place of urban terror and paranoia. Samm Deighan explores the way Lang uses horror and thriller tropes in M, particularly in terms of how it functions as a bridge between German Expressionism and Hollywood’s growing fixation on sympathetic killers in the ‘40s. The book also examines how Lang made use of developments within in forensic science and the criminal justice system to portray a somewhat realistic serial killer on screen for the first time, at once capturing how society in the ‘30s and ‘40s viewed such individuals and their crimes and shaping how they would be portrayed on screen in the horror films to come.

The M.D.
by Thomas M. DischSTEPHEN KING PRAISES THE M.D. BY THOMAS M. DISCH ... The M.D. is simply one of the best novels of horror-fantasy I've ever read. Thomas Disch has been writing wonderful tales of imagination for years now-stories that sometimes amuse, sometimes sting, sometimes horrify, and sometimes manage to do all three at the same time-but The M.D. is surely his magnum opus. Although Disch uses the Frankenstein myth (and surely it has attained mythological status by this point) as a kind of echo chamber to make his story resonate, it is Dracula the novel most closely resembles on an emotional level. Like Dracula, The M.D. is the story of a great monster, a creature so awful that we can't help rooting for him. It also has the sweep of Dracula, and if Disch's novel is not as totally involving as Stoker's vampire tale, it may be because Disch has leavened the melodrama with a generous helping of black comedy. Still, don't be fooled: The M.D. attained maintains a level of morbid, jittery intensity that is quite remarkable. Oh, and one other thing: unlike most of the horror novels being churned out these days by the King wannabes, the Koontz wannabes, the Straub wannabes, and the Barker wannabes, The M.D. is a novel with a point. Disch understands that to really succeed as horror, a story must first succeed on the level of fundamental interest where the best fairy tales live. Put another way, a good horror novel must be about morality. The M.D. succeeds brilliantly as a morality tale-which means that it entertains us instead of preaching to us-and it says some marvellously insightful things along the way about business, religion, the family in suburbia , and the America we inherited in the wake of Vietnam. A thousand bravos to Thomas Disch, who has written a brilliantly entertaining novel. I hope it's a big fat #1 best-seller. P.S. The "kite scene" is going to be as infamous as the double amputation in Harry Bellaman's King's Row, I think. S. K.
