Blaze
by Stephen KingClay Blaisdell, llamado Blaze por todos, mide dos metros y pesa ciento treinta y seis kilos. Es un verdadero gigante. Sin embargo, hasta conocer a George Rackley nunca había hecho nada grande. George Rackley enseñó a Blaze cien maneras de estafar a la gente e ideó para él un plan ambicioso: secuestrar a un niño rico. La familia Gerard es multimillonaria y el nuevo retoño del clan valdrá muchos de estos millones. Solo hay un problema: cuando llega el momento de ponerlo todo en marcha, George, el cerebro de la operación (y de todo lo que hacen), muere. O quizá no... Por eso Blaze se encuentra huyendo desesperado de una tormenta y de la policía. Ha conseguido raptar al bebé, pero el secuestro se ha convertido en una carrera contrarreloj a través de los bosques infernales de Maine. La crítica ha dicho...«Blaze es una pieza esencial en la bibliografía de King. Siempre convincente, tiende un puente entre las novelas de Bachman y el terrible poder de Carrie.»The Independent
Blaze: A Novel (Ldp Litt. Fantas Ser.)
by Stephen KingMaster storyteller Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) presents this gripping and remarkable New York Times bestselling crime novel about a damaged young man who embarks on an ill-advised kidnapping plot—a work as taut and riveting as anything he has ever written.Once upon a time, a fellow named Richard Bachman wrote Blaze on an Olivetti typewriter, then turned the machine over to Stephen King, who used it to write Carrie. Bachman died in 1985 (&“cancer of the pseudonym&”), but this last gripping Bachman novel resurfaced after being hidden away for decades—an unforgettable crime story tinged with sadness and suspense. Clayton Blaisdell, Jr., was always a small-time delinquent. None too bright either, thanks to the beatings he got as a kid. Then Blaze met George Rackley, a seasoned pro with a hundred cons and one big idea. The kidnapping should go off without a hitch, with George as the brains behind their dangerous scheme. But there's only one problem: by the time the deal goes down, Blaze's partner in crime is dead. Or is he?

Bleeding in the Eye of a Brainstorm: A Mongo Mystery (Mongo Mystery #13)
by George C. ChesbroWith a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. On the eve of Thanksgiving, a murderous maniac with an ice pick has gripped New York City, killing at random and leaving terror in his wake. But despite the threat of the “Iceman,” Mongo is more troubled by the sudden appearance of the neighborhood crazy lady on his doorstep. Normally, “Mama Spit” is as ornery as they come, but the polished and polite woman before him now bears little resemblance to the creature infamous for spewing vulgarity at everyone she meets. Mama claims a strange man gifted her with a bag of pills just before his untimely death—miracle pills that have made her as normal as the day is long. Soon Mongo blows the lid off a conspiracy involving experimental drugs, escaped mental patients, and a government cover-up. But if he isn’t careful, he could hit his own expiration date . . . Bleeding in the Eye of a Brainstorm is the 13th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

There's only one thing standing between humanity and the dark forces of the supernatural: the secret agency known as The Institute. The organization depends on regular guys like Chuck, a Level I Recon and Enforcement Technician who guides tormented spirits into the next life. From an office deep underground, Chuck projects his spirit into Crossfades, monstrous realms where the souls of the dead, unable to move on due to fear or anger, devise macabre tortures for themselves and one another. He's always been able to leave his work behind at the end of the day . . . until now. First in dreams, then in waking nightmares, Crossfades are bleeding into the physical world. And now it's up to Chuck--along with his partner, a woman named Control--to put a stop to it. Because there's no telling what might come over from the other side.
