Nieve de Cenizas: Un androide está infectado con un virus que le da conciencia de su existencia... (Anomalías Estructurales #1)
by RAFAEL A. ZARRAGA L.Nieve de Cenizas es un Tao médico, un androide creado específicamente para curar a las personas y reparar otras máquinas como él. Como tal, nunca tuvo su propia identidad hasta que una chica, un Tao infectado, lo infectó con el virus Sinhe Plus. Este virus instaló en él un simple código binario, una cadena de ceros y uno que transmite un simple mensaje: “Yo soy".

Con la respuesta viene la condena: nunca podrá ser libre.
Nigerian Speculative Fiction: The Evolution (Studies in Global Genre Fiction)
by Chukwunonso EzeiyokeThis book is an exciting addition to a gap in non-Western genre studies of African fiction. It challenges the dominant canonicity of African literature, which is overshadowed by texts concerned with the colonial discourse and ‘writing back’ while exploring speculative themes in Nigerian fiction and writing that stem from an African cosmology and culture.The book examines important twentieth-century precursors of the post-millennial ‘boom’ in Nigerian Speculative Fiction (SF), reading texts that were omitted from the Nigerian literary canon developed in the 1960s. It combines an analysis of recent fiction and criticism with a historical overview of the development of the under-researched area of Nigerian SF. Through these readings, the author demonstrates the range of concerns explored by Nigerian SF including futurism, posthumanism, horror, fantasy, and science fiction, among others. This book argues that these narratives exceed the binary implicitly sustained by the texts that write back to the West and o-ers new readings of contemporary Nigerian SF; works that imagine futures di-erent from the past and present conditions imposed by capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism.Providing new theoretical tools and concepts, this book in the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series will be of interest to readers and scholars working in the fields of African studies, African culture and society, literature and language, interdisciplinary literary studies, area studies, literary criticism, and genre studies.

Night Child
by Jes BattisThat's a dead vampire, I thought. My boss dragged me out of bed at two in the morning to see a dead vampire? I might be an Occult Special Investigator for Vancouver's Mystical Crime Lab, but a dead vampire is routine, and no reason to disturb a person's sleep! Then I took a closer look at the body... Tess Corday soon realizes that there is not going to be anything ordinary about this case. Not the lab results on the cause of death. Not Mia Polanski, the teenage girl living at the address found in the vamp's pocket, who may well be in thrall to a demon. And certainly not Lucian Agrado, the necromancer who is liaison to the vampire community. Agrado is supposed to be part of the solution, but Tess suspects he might be part of the problem. Under pressure from her boss, Tess is trying to go by the book on this one. But when Mia reaches out to her, she risks her career to help the girl. And finds herself in the middle of a paranormal conspiracy that will change her life forever. Or possibly end it...
