by Max BrallierThe sequel to the "pick-your-own-path" adventure Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?--the Jacksonville Florida-Times Union hailed, "may just be the best thing to happen to literary zombies since Max Brooks."You've probably read your fair share of zombie stories. But this time it's different. In a horrific and hilarious cross-country road trip (or rather, suicide mission), you must overcome obstacles of every kind to save zombified America from utter collapse. The book begins with you inside your prison cell, waiting to be released. Your name is Jimmy el Camino, and you're a badass--in fact, you're a supreme badass. Rambo with style. Snake Plissken with a failing liver. You've killed more men than cancer. But more men than the zombie apocalypse? That's questionable... Your mission? Drive your heavily armed 1967 el Camino from New York City to San Francisco. Along the way, you'll encounter Mr. Death's Undead Circus and Animal Show; you'll battle zombies gladiator-style; you'll be forced to help a band of lunatics defending the Alamo. And every step of the way, an army of drivers in armored vehicles is hot on your tail--because there is one man, the mayor of New York, who will stop at nothing to keep this apocalypse of the undead alive.

A História de Finbar
by Steve VernonA água é mentirosa. Uma história com água não pode ser confiada, e suas palavras serão levadas com a primeira chuva torrencial ou com as lágrimas de um longo choro. E as histórias contadas em sangue e pedra são, de longe, as que mais ficam marcadas. Finbar Tanner está contando uma história para seu filho, Isaac. É uma história sobre amor, desejo e sacrifício. Uma história sobre sangue, água e pedras. Uma história sobre as correntezas mais profundas que correm no coração de um homem. Uma história sobre o mar. O QUE ESTÃO DIZENDO SOBRE STEVE VERNON "O gênero precisa de sangue novo, e Steve Vernon é uma transfusão e tanto! " –Edward Lee, autor de FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL "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 nasceu para escrever. Ele é coisa séria, e temos sorte por tê-lo.” - Richard Chizmar Minha mãe também acha que eu sou bem legal.
La historia de Finbar
by Steve Vernon Gabriela Miranda GonzálezEl agua es una mentirosa. Si cuentas una historia con agua, no se puede confiar en ella y se lavará con la primera lluvia fuerte o con las lágrimas de un largo llanto. Las historias contadas en el agua son de naturaleza proteica y mutable. Las mejores historias son impredecibles en sus verdades. Cuando piensas que las has descifrado, cuando sientes que la corriente te conduce hacia algo parecido a un final feliz, las mejores historias te engañarán siempre.
The Historian: To You, Perceptive Reader, I Bequeath My History
by Elizabeth KostovaTo you, perceptive reader, I bequeath my history... Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters. The letters are all addressed to My dear and unfortunate successor, and they plunge her into a world she never dreamed of a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an inconceivable evil hidden in the depths of history. The letters provide links to one of the darkest powers that humanity has ever known and to a centuries-long quest to find the source of that darkness and wipe it out. It is a quest for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler whose barbarous reign formed the basis of the legend of Dracula. Generations of historians have risked their reputations, their sanity, and even their lives to learn the truth about Vlad the Impaler and Dracula. Now one young woman must decide whether to take up this quest herself to follow her father in a hunt that nearly brought him to ruin years ago, when he was a vibrant young scholar and her mother was still alive. What does the legend of Vlad the Impaler have to do with the modern world? Is it possible that the Dracula of myth truly existed and that he has lived on, century after century, pursuing his own unknowable ends? The answers to these questions cross time and borders, as first the father and then the daughter search for clues, from dusty Ivy League libraries to Istanbul, Budapest, and the depths of Eastern Europe. In city after city, in monasteries and archives, in letters and in secret conversations, the horrible truth emerges about Vlad the Impaler's dark reign and about a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive down through the ages. Parsing obscure signs and hidden texts, reading codes worked into the fabric of medieval monastic traditions and evading the unknown adversaries who will go to any lengths to conceal and protect Vlad's ancient powers one woman comes ever closer to the secret of her own past and a confrontation with the very definition of evil. Elizabeth Kostova's debut novel is an adventure of monumental proportions, a relentless tale that blends fact and fantasy, history and the present, with an assurance that is almost unbearably suspenseful and utterly unforgettable.
