Mayhem
by Sarah Pinborough"A compulsively readable story that starts as a conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a horrifying supernatural thriller," The Guardian said of Mayhem. A virtuoso fantasy writer, Sarah Pinborough has won numerous awards including the British Fantasy Award for Best Short Story. In Mayhem Pinborough turns her attention to one of the most baffling and notorious crime sprees in Victorian times. Already frustrated in their attempts to capture serial murderer Jack the Ripper, the detectives of Scotland Yard are suddenly confronted with a new monster, dubbed the Torso Killer for his habit of leaving behind neatly wrapped parcels of his victims' body parts, minus the heads. With the terrible increase in mutilated corpses to examine, the highly regarded police surgeon Dr. Thomas Bond has lost the ability to sleep. True, a growing dependency on opium affords him some solace in his loneliest and most desperate hours, but he also fears the grip of the drug. During Dr. Bond's nightly tours of London's underbelly in search of pharmaceutical respite from the horrors that plague him by day, he encounters a mysterious Jesuit priest scouring the opium dens himself, clearly in search of someone--or something. The doctor at first rejects the strange priest's unnatural theories about the Torso Killer as an affront to scientific thought. But over time Dr. Bond's opium-addled mind begins to crumble under the growing impression that there might be some awful truth to the Jesuit's ideas. As the police struggle to capture two serial killers, the troubled forensics expert begins to suspect that he may actually know the Torso Killer personally. If he is right, Dr. Bond will need all the strength he can muster to save his small circle of loved ones from falling victim to the bloody depravities of this twisted creature.From the Hardcover edition.

Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí
by Javier MaríasUna intensa narración sobre asuntos que nos atañen a todos: sobre el ocultamiento, los hechos y las intenciones; sobre el actuar sin saber y la voluntad que casi nunca se cumple; sobre la negación de las personas que una vez quisimos y el olvido y la indecisión; sobre la despedida, y también sobre el engaño. La hechizante primera frase de esta novela ya dice mucho, quizá demasiado: «Nadie piensa nunca que pueda ir a encontrarse con una muerta entre los brazos y que ya no verá más su rostro cuyo nombre recuerda». Esto es lo que ocurre al narrador, Víctor Francés, guionista de televisión y «negro» o «escritor fantasma», encargado de redactar los discursos de la gente importante e ignorante. Recientemente divorciado, es invitado a cenar a su casa por Marta Téllez, mujer casada cuyo marido está de viaje y madre de un niño de dos años. Tras la cena galante, el hombre y la mujer pasan al dormitorio donde, «aún medio vestidos y medio desvestidos», ella empieza a sentirse mal hasta que agoniza y muere en una escena sobrecogedora. Esa infidelidad no consumada se convierte así en una especie de «encantamiento», con problemas bien reales e inmediatos: qué hacer con el cadáver, avisar o no avisar, qué hacer respecto al marido, qué hacer con el niño dormido, qué diferencia hay entre la vida y la muerte. Reseñas:«Quien tiene la fortuna de entrar en las páginas de Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí ya no vuelve a salir... De no perdérsela en modo alguno.»Corriere della Sera «Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí es decididamente el libro más hermoso compuesto por un autor contemporáneo.»Pietro Citati, La Repubblica «Provocativa y hermosamente escrita.»Booklist «La narración fluye como un thriller psicológico con interludios cómicos y macabros: el narrador lo maneja como un maestro de habilidad y de ambigüedad.»The Independent on Sunday «Una historia seductora... Un thriller metafísico.»The Observer «Pone de manifiesto la madurez y la maestría de un novelista que ha creado un mundo propio al otro lado de lo biográfico.»Süddeutsche Zeitung
