Bones (Gothika #2)
by B. G. Thomas Jamie Fessenden Kim Fielding Eli EastonGothika: Volume TwoVodou. Obeah. Santeria. These religions seem mysterious and dark to the uninitiated, but the truth is often very different. Still, while they hold the potential for great power, they can be dangerous to those who don't take appropriate precautions.

In these four novellas, steamy nights of possession and exotic ritual will trigger forbidden passion and love. You cannot hide your desires from the loa, or from the maddening spell of the drums. Four acclaimed m/m authors imagine homoerotic love under the spell of Voodoo.
Bones And All
by Camille DeangelisMaren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis'Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality. <p> <b>Winner of the 2016 Alex Award (10 best adult books that appeal to teen audiences)</b>
Bones and All. Hasta los huesos
by Camille DeAngelisEsta chica no rompe corazones, los devora. La novela que ha inspirado la nueva y esperada película de Timothée Chalamet es una fascinante historia sobre el primer amor y encontrar tu lugar en el mundo. Maren Yearly quiere lo mismo que cualquier chica de su edad. Quiere convertirse en alguien a quien los demás admiren y respeten. Y quiere que la quieran. Pero Maren tiene un secreto que la hace diferente, impulsos que no puede controlar. Y se odia por las cosas malas que le ha empujado a hacer, por lo que ha causado en ella y en su familia. Porque Maren no solo rompe corazones, los devora. Desde el día en que su madre le encontró en la boca un hueso del oído de la niñera cuando apenas tenía dos años, supo que la vida no sería normal para ninguna de las dos. Y cuando, el día de su decimosexto cumpleaños, su madre la abandona con un poco de dinero, una mochila y su partida de nacimiento, Maren decide lanzarse a la búsqueda del padre que nunca conoció, determinada a averiguar la clave de su origen y de por qué hace lo que hace. Enfrentada a un mundo que quizá encierre otras personas como ella, pero también la inesperada posibilidad del amor, Maren pronto se da cuenta de que a quien busca es a sí misma.

Bones of the Earth
by Michael SwanwickFrom the book jacket: Paleontologist Richard Leyster has achieved professional nirvana: a position with the Smithsonian Museum plus a groundbreaking dinosaur fossil site he can research, publish on, and learn from for years to come. There is nothing that could lure him away-until a disturbingly secretive stranger named Griffin enters Leyster's office with an ice cooler and a job offer. In the cooler is the head of a freshly killed Stegosaurus. Griffin has been entrusted with an extraordinary gift, an impossible technology on loan to humanity from unknown beings for an undisclosed purpose. Time travel has become a reality millions of years before it rationally could be. With it, Richard Leyster and his colleagues can make their most cherished fantasy come true. They can study the dinosaurs up close, in their own time and milieu. Now, suddenly, individual lives can turn back on themselves. People can meet, shake hands, and converse with their younger versions at various crossroads in time. One wrong word, a single misguided act, could be disastrous to the project and to the world. But Griffin must make sure everything that is supposed to happen does happen-no matter who is destined to be hurt ... or die. And then there's Dr. Gertrude Salley-passionate, fearless, and brutally ambitious-a genius rebel in the tight community of "bone men" and women. Alternately both Leyster's and Griffin's chief rival, trusted colleague, despised nemesis, and inscrutable lover at various junctures throughout time, Salley is relentlessly driven to screw with the working mechanisms of natural law, audaciously trespassing in forbidden areas, pushing paradox to the edge no matter what the consequences may be. And, when they concern the largest, most savage creatures that ever lived, the consequences may be terrifying indeed.
Bones of the Earth: Three Science Fiction Thrillers
by Michael SwanwickModern technology is pitted against ancient dinosaurs in this scientific thriller James Rollins calls &“Jurassic Park set amid the paradox of time travel.&” Paleontologist Richard Leyster is perfectly content in his position with the Smithsonian excavating dinosaur fossil sites and publishing his findings . . . until the mysterious Harry Griffin appears in his office with a cooler containing the head of a freshly killed Stegosaurus. The enigmatic stranger offers Leyster the opportunity to travel back in time to study living dinosaurs in their original habitats—but with strings attached. Soon, the paleontologist finds himself, along with a select team of colleagues—including his chief rival, the ambitious and often ruthless Dr. Gertrude Salley—making discoveries that would prove impossible working from fossils alone. But when Leyster and his team are stranded in the Cretaceous, they must learn to survive while still keeping alive the joy of scientific discovery. This shocking novel spans hundreds of millions of years and deals with the ultimate fate not only of the dinosaurs but also of all humankind. Nominated for the Locus Award, the Hugo Award, and the Nebula Award for Best Novel, Bones of the Earth cements author Michael Swanwick as an author who &“proves that sci-fi has plenty of room for wonder and literary values&” (San Francisco Chronicle).

Bongo fury
by Sergio BizzioEl tiempo se acelera exponencialmente; las voces se tornan inaudibles; las geografías mudan y los cuerpos se tuercen en acrobacias. Cada cuento se abre a la dimensión desconocida que encierran cada uno de los días que habitamos. Los espejismos se desprenden de la realidad como el vapor mercurial de la distancia sobre una carretera. Etérea. Está allí y es inalcanzable. Cuando se la piensa dominada, lo que creemos real se dobla sobre sí mismo, o se despliega como el pañuelo de un mago. Sergio Bizzio expone el fondo de la galera. Todo parece estar como es. Y sin embargo... toc toc en la copa y unos ejemplares singulares de la especie humana alcanzan velocidades extraordinarias; una muñeca cobra vida y se extingue o alguien tiene que lidiar con el poder de que se cumplan todos sus deseos... En Bongo fury, este escritor genial muestra la plenitud de su arte. El tiempo se acelera exponencialmente; las voces se tornan inaudibles; las geografías mudan y los cuerpos se tuercen en acrobacias insólitas. Cada cuento se abre a la dimensión desconocida que encierran los días que habitamos. La crítica ha dicho... «Libre, inspirado, inclasificable.»Juan José Becerra «Bizzio es el mejor escritor argentino actual (por lejos).»Maximiliano Crespi «Una escritura precisa y llena de detalles de gran belleza, despojada de toda ironía teórica.»Flavio Lo Presti «Bizzio demuestra una confianza fanática en su apuesta estilística: prosa despejada, estructura clara, situaciones desconcertantes, y, por supuesto, una imaginación obscena, un vuelo alucinógeno ilimitado.»La Voz del Interior «Aquí no hay reacciones previsibles, sino una lectura trastornada de lo real.»La Nación «Bizzio mixtura el delirio con lo cotidiano y construye un verosímil que se torna una agudísima exploración de los deseos y temores colectivos. A fin de cuentas, nunca sabremos del todo qué reverbera más en nosotros, si lo evidente o lo extraordinario.»Revista Ñ
