Trickster
by Jeff SomersPraised by the Guardian for stories that are "exhilarating . . . powerful and entertaining," Jeff Somers returns with a darkly original urban fantasy series featuring a cadre of mages operating just under the radar of human society. Magic uses blood--a lot of it. The more that's used, the more powerful the effect, so mages find "volunteers" to fuel their spells. Lem, however, is different. Long ago he set up a rule that lets him sleep at night: never use anyone's blood but your own. He's grifting through life as a Trickster, performing only small Glamours like turning one-dollar bills into twenties. He and his sidekick, Mags, aren't doing well, but they're getting by. That is, until they find young Claire Mannice-- bound and gagged, imprisoned in a car's trunk, and covered with invisible rune tattoos. Lem turns to his estranged mentor for help, but what they've uncovered is more terrifying than anybody could have imagined. Mika Renar, the most dangerous Archmage in the world, is preparing to use an ocean of blood to cast her dreams into reality-- and Lem just got in her way.
Trickster Drift (The Trickster trilogy #2)
by Eden RobinsonFollowing the Scotiabank Giller Prize-shortlisted Son of a Trickster comes Trickster Drift, the second book in Eden Robinson's captivating Trickster trilogy.In an effort to keep all forms of magic at bay, Jared, 17, has quit drugs and drinking. But his troubles are not over: now he's being stalked by David, his mom's ex--a preppy, khaki-wearing psycho with a proclivity for rib-breaking. And his mother, Maggie, a living, breathing badass as well as a witch, can't protect him like she used to because he's moved away from Kitimat to Vancouver for school. Even though he's got a year of sobriety under his belt (no thanks to his enabling, ever-partying mom), Jared also struggles with the temptation of drinking. And he's got to get his grades up, find a job that doesn't involve weed cookies, and somehow live peacefully with his Aunt Mave, who has been estranged from the family ever since she tried to "rescue" him as a baby from his mother. An indigenous activist and writer, Mave smothers him with pet names and hugs, but she is blind to the real dangers that lurk around them--the spirits and supernatural activity that fill her apartment. As the son of a Trickster, Jared is a magnet for magic, whether he hates it or not--he sees ghosts, he sees the monster moving underneath his Aunt Georgina's skin, he sees the creature that comes out of his bedroom wall and creepily wants to suck his toes. He also still hears the Trickster in his head, and other voices too. When the David situation becomes a crisis, Jared can't ignore his true nature any longer.

TRIDENTE, EL (EBOOK)
by Diego SasturainEn El Tridente, de Diego Sasturain, la primera persona atrapa y conduce por el desfiladero de temas: el misterio, la locura, las sectas. Temas que proyectan otros: el delirio, la digresión, un secreto. Constancias del vuelo de la imaginación se convierten, gracias al autor, en ejemplos presocráticos. Todo se desprende con timidez y una rara hondura, una especie de honestidad vocal, en este relato de peripecias descansadas. A poco de ir acumulando afirmaciones, se empieza a sentir la magia. La magia la establecen la introspección y una inteligencia que se ha puesto en marcha. Una inteligencia muy atenta: no quiere deslumbrar, quiere abrirse paso, ir conociéndose de a ratos, reírse, aprender a hacer un asado. El narrador ya ha sabido pasarle la pelota al protagonista. Lo deja solo frente a la parrilla. Sabe cómo cada pedacito de tradición le juega a favor, y los descarta. Después, divirtiéndose con la circunstancia, empieza a cocinar la carne. Con esa misma perfecta vocación, con ese mismo elegante desgano, Diego Sasturain ha escrito esta novela extraordinaria.
