by Steve VernonHay magia en el número tres. Solo piensa en ello. Los tres chiflados. Los tres hombres sabios. Los tres cerditos. Y ahora, Truco de sombrero de medianoche, una colección de tres novelas maravillosas y escalofriantes del narrador de Nueva Escocia Steve Vernon. Hammurabi Road es una historia oscura de redneck noir, venganza y retribución, justicia en los bosques y acercarse a un oso negro más de lo que jamás soñó. La historia comienza con el triángulo eterno: tres hombres en una camioneta, dos al frente y uno con cinta adhesiva detrás. Not Just Any Old Ghost Story es una pequeña historia tranquila sobre el regreso a casa y los fantasmas de los que nunca podrás escapar. Es una historia que te llevará al corazón mismo de la narración. MUERTE SÚBITA OVERTIME es una lectura rápida y divertida que plantea la pregunta: ¿qué harían un grupo de viejos jugadores de hockey del norte de Labrador con un autobús turístico lleno de vampiros? Si tiene dificultades para lidiar con ese concepto, simplemente arroje la película Slapshot a una licuadora con la película 30 Days Of Night y golpee frappe. Esto no es literatura alta, ¿comprende? Esta es una cerveza fría con un perseguidor de hamburguesas con queso. “Steve Vernon lo hace bien. MUERTE SÚBITA OVERTIME toca todas las notas correctas conmigo. Un elenco de personajes maravilloso, un gran diálogo y un autobús malvado lleno de vampiros viciosos ". - FAMOSOS MONSTRUOS DE FILMLAND "Este género necesita sangre nueva y Steve Vernon es una gran transfusión". - Edward Lee, autor de GOON and THE BIGHEAD "Steve Vernon es el verdadero negocio". - Richard Chizmar, CEMENTERY DANCE MAGAZINE

The True Bastards (The Lot Lands #2)
by Jonathan FrenchHalf orc. All badass. A female chieftain in a brutal wasteland society fights to take what is hers in an action-packed, foul-mouthed fantasy adventure from the author of The Grey Bastards (“Nonstop action, though not for faint hearts.”—The Wall Street Journal). Fetching was once the only female rider in the Lot Lands. Now she is the proud leader of her own hoof, a band of loyal half-orcs sworn to her command. But in the year since she became chief, the Lots have tested her strength to the breaking point. The Bastards are scattered, desperate, their ranks weakened by a mysterious famine, their fortress reduced to smoldering slag. And their troubles are only growing. A pack of ravening beasts circles their camp, while grasping human nobles hatch a plan that will shift the balance of power in the Lots. Fetch and her comrades are still standing defiant—they’re Bastards, after all—but even the toughest half-orc can take only so much; and Fetch knows they’re on the verge of ruin. As she strives to lead her hoof to safety and unravel the plots set against them, Fetching must journey through forbidden elven lands, overcome long-standing hatreds, battle a monstrous wizard of terrifying power—and, worst of all, delve into the dark truths of her own existence. She’s no stranger to fighting the world, but on this journey, sharp steel and a strong hog won’t be enough. To survive these trials, she’ll have to defy not just her foes but the very nature of the Lots. The True Bastards is the sweeping, ambitious second entry in the Lot Lands series, an irresistibly thrilling, gritty, foul-mouthed adventure that deepens, expands—and again upends—the Bastards’ unforgettable world.Advance praise for The True Bastards“[An] action-packed sequel . . . the story is filled with relentless action and powered by a cast of adeptly developed and emotionally appealing characters. . . .
