Sueños oscuros y cuentos extraños
by Terry M. WestBaker no fue completamente honesto con respecto al viaje. Si bien había una Lucy Peak, y era un hecho que era dueña de una taberna. También, lo era que solicito que Baer fuese, pero sabia que la taberna no estaba embrujada. Y él se encontraba segur de que Lucy lo sabía. Ella se encontraba enamorada de él, y su solicitud era realmente un intento de un romance lejano. Él no aceptaría la invitación, ni usaría a Lucy como una excusa para volver a Providencia, pero su estado de ánimo había cambiado desde su encuentro con H.P. Lovecraft. Baker se sentía obligado a regresar e investigar más sobre la historia de Lovecraft. No sabía donde empezar, pero deseaba poder hablar con la tía de Lovecraft, y obtener acceso a las pertenencias del escritor. Con suerte la mujer tuvo tiempo suficiente para llorar. Baker había devorado todas las historias de Lovecraft que pudo encontrar, pero de seguro encontraría más entre las pertenencias del fallecido, y él necesitaba leerlos todos. Aunque el trabajo de Lovecraft estaba sobrecargado, el temor de Baker aumentaba con cada frase que invitaba su mente. No tenia la menor duda de que la energía oscura se encontraba trabajando. Y necesitaba llegar a la fuente de ese mal, y encontrar una forma de prevenir que se produjese la visión de Lovecraft en la que un cataclismo capaz de acabar con la Tierra ocurra. Y la prosa del hombre era el mejor lugar buscar. “Necesito usar el baño”, Dijo Baker, poniéndose de pie con dificultad. Sherman dejó su asiento y le dio paso a Baker. Baker camino torpemente por el pasillo del vehículo, sujetándose de los asientos, y marchando como un borracho lo hace a través de arena pesada y húmeda. Mientras se encontraba de pie, se le apeteció un viaje al vagón restaurante. Ya que un brandi lo ayudaría a calmar su estómago. De repente, el tren se sacudió. Como si la maquina entrase en pánico, Baer escucho la estresante sinfonía de las ruedas de m

The Best of Jules de Grandin: 20 Classic Occult Detective Stories
by Seabury QuinnA collection of the 20 greatest tales of Jules de Grandin, the supernatural detective made famous in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales. Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn. Quinn&’s short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales’s original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin’s knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades. The Best of Jules de Grandin, edited by George Vanderburgh, presents twenty of the greatest published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order with stories from the 1920s through the 1940s, this collection contains the most incredible of Jules de Grandin's many awe-inspiring adventures.

Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe
by Thomas Ligotti Jeff VandermeerTwo terrifying classics by "the best kept secret in contemporary horror fiction" (The Washington Post) Thomas Ligotti's debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.Ligotti's stories take on decaying cities and lurid dreamscapes in a style ranging from rich, ornamental prose to cold, clinical detachment. His raw and experimental work lays bare the unimportance of our world and the sickening madness of the human condition. Like the greatest writers of cosmic horror, Ligotti bends reality until it cracks, opening fissures through which he invites us to gaze on the unsettling darkness of the abyss below.For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
