Ashley Butler es una reportera galardonada de The San Diego Times. Un día recibió un correo de un hombre que afirma haber descubierto el secreto de la inmortalidad al desactivar un gen de envejecimiento en un chico de quince años con un desorden de vejez acelerada. El correo contenía fotografías que muestran la inversión del proceso de envejecimiento y el nombre de un científico al igual que la compañía para la que trabajaba para que corroborar esa historia. Creyendo que se trata de una farsa, Ashley reenvía el correo a sus contactos. Aunque permanecía escéptica, llamó a la compañía para investigar, pero nadie le contestó. Al salir de su oficina se enteró de la noticia de la muerte del científico mencionado en el correo. Ashley decide investigar en persona la compañía mencionada en el correo, pero al llegar al lugar se encuentra con un edificio desmantelado. Ashley decide ir a investigar la casa del científico muerto, sólo para ser confrontada por un agente federal poco amigable. Al regresar a su oficina, se vuelve a encontrar con él, quien decide confiscar su computadora. El agente federal revela que el científico que envió el correo es un asesino y necesitan la ayuda de Ashley para capturarlo. Ella decide contratar a unos investigadores para indagar en el caso, pero ninguno de ellos regresa.

La iglesia afirma que el Internet es la manifestación física de la mente colectiva de la humanidad y que el chico es la segunda venida de Cristo encarnado en el ciberespacio. El gobierno intenta censurar la página, pero ésta se replica demasiado rápido. Mientras la iglesia y el estado luchan por la libertad de religión en línea, los medios y el estado luchan por la libertad de expresión. En medio de todo esto, Ashley lucha por sobrevivir.

At the height of that summer swelter, in the wake of an unexpected storm, the dam failed and the valley flooded—drowning the town and everyone trapped inside.The secrets of old Prosper drowned with them.Now, decades later, when a mysterious locked box is pulled from the depths of the lake, three descendants of that long-ago tragedy are hurled into another feverish summer. Cassie: the reclusive sole witness to an impossible horror no one believes. Lark: a wide-eyed dreamer haunted by bizarre visions. June: caught between longing for a fresh start and bearing witness to the ghosts of the past. Bound together, all three must contend with their home's complex history—and with the ruins of the town lost far beneath the troubled water."A liquid southern Gothic that laps against the land of the living until old secrets that can't be washed away are revealed. Seductive, haunting and beautiful." —Willa Reece, author of Wildwood Magic

Cimetière Noir Le lieu de la perdition

by Valeria De Luca Eric Trigance

Une ford Mustang file dans la Black Street et se dirige vers Dark Myst. John Allen est sur le point de devenir un écrivain célèbre, il a remporté un concours littéraire grâce à son manuscrit intitulé "Cauchemars Noirs". Un contrat avec une maison d'édition l'attend à Dark Myst. Paroles de l'auteure : Black Cemetery est une nouvelle écrite pour un concours pour lequel il n'a pas été primé. Mais je percevais bien les potentialités de ce récit. Un cimetière très étrange dans une ville imaginaire, Dark Myst. Savoir que de nombreuses personnes l'estiment interessant grâce à son atmosphère à la Stephen King me rend vraiment heureuse. Stephen King est mon auteur préféré et être comparée à lui ne peut que me remplir de joie. Voici donc un récit plein de frissons, d'adrénaline et il me semble vraiment sentir le froid glacial de toutes ces tombes cachées dans ce cimetière au coeur des bois. Je vous conseille de lire ce récit... la nuit !

Cinder: Book One of the Lunar Chronicles (The Lunar Chronicles #1)

by Marissa Meyer

The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl. . . . Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future. Marissa Meyer on Cinder, writing, and leading menWhich of your characters is most like you?I wish I could say that I'm clever and mechanically-minded like Cinder, but no—I can't fix anything. I'm much more like Cress, who makes a brief cameo in Cinder and then takes a more starring role in the third book. She's a romantic and a daydreamer and maybe a little on the naïve side—things that could be said about me too—although she does find courage when it's needed most. I think we'd all like to believe we'd have that same inner strength if we ever needed it. Where do you write?I have a home office that I've decorated with vintage fairy tale treasures that I've collected (my favorite is a Cinderella cookie jar from the forties) and NaNoWriMo posters, but sometimes writing there starts to feel too much like work. On those days I'll write in bed or take my laptop out for coffee or lunch.If you were stranded on a desert island, which character from Cinder would you want with you?Cinder, definitely! She has an internet connection in her brain, complete with the ability to send and receive comms (which are similar to e-mails). We'd just have enough time to enjoy some fresh coconut before we were rescued. The next book in the Lunar Chronicles is called Scarlet, and is about Little Red Riding Hood. What is appealing to you most about this character as you work on the book?Scarlet is awesome—she's very independent, a bit temperamental, and has an outspokenness that tends to get her in trouble sometimes. She was raised by her grandmother, an ex-military pilot who now owns a small farm in southern France, who not only taught Scarlet how to fly a spaceship and shoot a gun, but also to have a healthy respect and appreciation for nature. I guess that's a lot of things that appeal to me about her, but she's been a really fun character to write! (The two leading men in Scarlet, Wolf and Captain Thorne, aren't half bad either.)
