Joplin's Ghost
by Tananarive DueFrom the award-winning writer of The Good House, The Living Blood, and more, Joplin's Ghost is a chilling tale of a star-in-the-making whose life goes haywire as she is haunted by the ghost of a long-dead music legend. When Phoenix Smalls was ten, she nearly died at her parents' jazz club when she was crushed by a turn-of-the-century piano. Now twenty-four, Phoenix is launching a career as an R & B singer. She's living the life young artists envy and seems destined for fame and fortune. But a chance visit to a historical site in St. Louis ignites a series of bizarre, erotic encounters with a spirit who may be the King of Ragtime, Scott Joplin. The music of Scott Joplin is strange enough to the ears of the hip-hop generation, but the idea that these antique sounds are being channeled by the protegee of rap superstar G-Ronn is nothing short of ludicrous. With growing violence in G-Ronn's inner circle and a ghost bent on living forever through her, Phoenix's life suddenly hangs in the balance," writes Tananarive Due. Can the power of her own inner song and the love of a music writer who believes in her give Phoenix the strength to fight to live out her own future? Or will she be trapped forever in Scott Joplin's doomed, tragic past?

Jóvenes hombres lobo
by Michael ChabonEn estos relatos que nos presenta Michael Chabon, la madurez es un proceso de transformación casi mutante. «De todos los autores que se publican ahora, Chabon es quizá quien ha encontrado una voz propia más clara y que conecta mejor con el lector medio.»Jordi Puntí, Babelia «Apasionante.»Francisco Casavella, El Mundo «Michel Chabon es uno de los jóvenes novelistas norteamericanos con un estilo más elegante, pretendidamente sencillo y mágicamente directo. Las tramas de sus novelas y cuentos aúnan eso tan difícil de conseguir como es un argumento sugerente, con rasgos donde se dan cita el ingenio, la ternura y la comicidad.»Diego Doncel, El Cultural «Entre los jóvenes valores de la actual literatura norteamericana, Michael Chabon es probablemente el menos abiertamente experimental y el que mejor conecta con las mejores virtudes del clasicismo de la llamada generación del New Yorker, es decir, escritores como Truman Capote, J. D. Salinger o John Cheever.»Mauricio Bach, La Vanguardia

Joyland
by Stephen King«Joyland es un libro impresionante, bello, desgarrador. Tiene misterio, tiene atracciones; es una historia sobre madurar y hacerse mayor, y sobre aquellos que no pueden hacer ninguna de las dos cosas porque la muerte viene a porellos antes de hora. Hasta los lectores más insensibles se emocionarán.»Charles Ardal, editor de Hard Case Crime Verano de 1973. Carolina del Norte.

Joyland
by Stephen KingCollege student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life--and what comes after--that would change his world forever. Life is Not Always a Butcher's Game. Sometimes the Frizes Are Real. Sometimes They're Precious. A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old-- and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time--JOYLAND is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all the emotional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, JOYLAND is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled reader profoundly moved.

Judgement Day
by Andrew Neiderman2-IN-1 THRILLER SET! At long last: the prequel to The Devil's Advocate--packaged together with that original novel, which Al Pacino, Keanu Reaves, and Charlize Theron turned into a blockbuster movie. Revealing the story of how the law firm of John Milton & Associates came to be, this will change forever how you think of the original The Devil's Advocate book and the major motion picture that made it a household name.When the promising young attorney of a prestigious law firm is found dead on the sidewalk twenty stories below his posh New York apartment, everyone rules it as a suicide. Everyone except Lieutenant Matthew Blake--a detective with a legendary track record and a notoriously unorthodox style. Blake sees something more nefarious in the attorney's death, and he slowly uncovers a murder plot so twisted that it could only have been concocted by the devil himself. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) John Milton--a handsome, charming, and unflappable defense attorney--strolls into the grieving law firm with a mind to replace the unfortunate attorney. Little does the firm know that Milton's plan extends far beyond just becoming a partner.

by Beryl FletcherIn 1920, deep in the New Zealand bush, a settlement of Christian fundamentalists lives a life of austerity and isolation. It is an existence that leaves little room for compassion, particularly for the women, who are viewed with suspicioun on account of "Eve's original sin." The elders lord over women, children, and young men alike, meting out punishments for transgressions as innocuous as self-reflection. Sisters Juno and Hannah have grown up in the community, but when a stranger washes up on the river bank and Hannah goes to his aid, she finds herself accused of necromancy. The girls flee but are quickly forced to accept help. Unsure of who is friend and who foe, Hannah finds herself dependent upon, and attracted to, the man she brought back to life. The sisters' breathless journey reflects the vividly portrayed New Zealand landscape with its abundance of beauty and resources, but also with scars wrought during the early days of colonization.
Jurassic Florida (Hunter Shea: One Size Eats All #1)
by Hunter SheaFLORIDA. IT’S WHERE YOU GO TO DIE. <P><P>Welcome to Polo Springs, a sleepy little town on Florida’s Gulf Coast. It’s a great place to live—if you don’t mind the hurricanes. Or the flooding. Or the unusual wildlife . . . <P>IGUANAS. THEY’RE EVERYWHERE. <P> Maybe it’s the weather. But the whole town is overrun with the little green bastards this year.

But when Hurricane Ramona slams the coast, the town has a bigger problem on their hands. Bigger iguanas. Bigger than a double-wide.

And it’s all you can eat . . . <P>Raves for The Montauk Monster “Old school horror.” —Jonathan Maberry “A lot of splattery fun.”—Publishers Weekly “Frightening, gripping.”—Night Owl Reviews
Jurgen
by James Branch CabellJurgen: A Comedy of Justice, an entry in the Poictesme series, is an epic fantasy voyage as well as an erotic fable. Cabell himself wrote: "This fable is, as the world itself, a book wherein each man will find what his nature enables him to see; which gives us back each his own image; and which teaches us each the lesson that each of us desires to learn." Jurgen was banned for decades because of its explicit content. It was, and remains, a ground-breaking early fantasy novel.
Just a Kiss: The Kiss of an Alien Book 1
by Fiona RoarkeWhat is the definition of a kiss? Is it universal? What if it wasn’t? Gabrielle runs for her life from a madman and stumbles straight onto the departure platform of an alien ship on its way back to Tiburon, a distant planet two galaxies away. Keller, the future king of Tiburon, rests on a marble structure, obviously ailing from unseen wounds. He wakes enough from his delirium to plead with Gabrielle for a kiss. So she places her lips on his, kissing him in the only way she knows how. The kiss ultimately rocks her heart and soul and delivers a powerful orgasm directly after as she tastes a rich chocolate flavor. However, a kiss has an entirely different meaning on Tiburon, and Gabrielle may have just mouth-touched her way into a permanent relationship with the powerful future leader of a planet of aliens.

Just After Sunset: Stories
by Stephen KingA stunning collection from international bestseller Stephen King that displays his phenomenally broad readership (stories published in The New Yorker, Playboy, and McSweeney’s and including the 25,000 word story “Gingerbread Girl” published in Esquire).Stephen King—who has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies—delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything’s Eventual six years ago. As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007, King spent over a year reading hundreds of stories. His renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset. The stories in this collection have appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, McSweeney’s, The Paris Review, Esquire, and other publications. Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. Or an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle, begun to reduce bad cholesterol, might take its rider on a captivating—and then terrifying—journey. Set on a remote key in Florida, “The Gingerbread Girl” is a riveting tale featuring a young woman as vulnerable—and resourceful—as Audrey Hepburn’s character in Wait Until Dark. In “Ayana,” a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand. For King, the line between the living and the dead is often blurry, and the seams that hold our reality intact might tear apart at any moment. In one of the longer stories here, “N.,” which recently broke new ground when it was adapted as a graphic digital entertainment, a psychiatric patient’s irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside...or keep the world from falling victim to it. Just After Sunset—call it dusk, call it twilight, it’s a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It’s the perfect time for Stephen King.
Just an Ordinary Day: Stories
by Shirley Jackson Laurence Hyman Sarah Hyman DewittBeloved in her own time for her short story "The Lottery" and her novel The Haunting of Hill House--classics ranking with the work of Edgar Allan Poe--Shirley Jackson blazed a path for contemporary writers with her explorations of evil, madness, and cruelty. Soon after her untimely death in 1965, Jackson's children discovered a treasure trove of previously unpublished and uncollected stories, many of which are brought together in this remarkable collection. Here are tales of torment, psychological aberration, and the macabre, as well as those that display her lighter touch with humorous scenes of domestic life. Reflecting the range and complexity of Jackson's talent, Just an Ordinary Day reaffirms her enduring influence and celebrates her singular voice, rich with magic and resonance. Praise for Just an Ordinary Day "Jackson at her best: plumbing the extraordinary from the depths of mid-twentieth-century common. [Just an Ordinary Day] is a gift to a new generation."--San Francisco Chronicle Praise for Shirley Jackson "[Jackson's] work exerts an enduring spell."--Joyce Carol Oates "Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written."--Donna Tartt "An amazing writer . . . If you haven't read [her] you have missed out on something marvelous."--Neil Gaiman "Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders."--Dorothy Parker "An author who not only writes beautifully but who knows what there is, in this world, to be scared of."--Francine Prose "The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable."--A. M. Homes "Jackson enjoyed notoriety and commercial success within her lifetime, and yet it still hardly seems like enough for a writer so singular. When I meet readers and other writers of my generation, I find that mentioning her is like uttering a holy name."--Victor LaValleFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

The hallways contract and expand along with the school’s breathing, and the showers in the bathroom run a bloody red. Cat’s best friend is slowly turning into cardboard, and instead of a face, Cat has a cat mask made of her own hardened flesh.Cat doesn’t remember why she is trapped in her school or why half of them—Cat included—are slowly transforming. Escaping has always been the one impossibility in her school’s upside-down world. But to save herself from the eventual self-destruction all the students face, Cat must find the way out. And to do that, she’ll have to remember what put her there in the first place.Using chapters alternating between the past and the present, acclaimed author Francesca Zappia weaves a spine-tingling, suspenseful, and haunting story about tragedy and the power of memories. Fans of Marieke Nijkamp’s This Is Where It Ends and Karen McManus’s One of Us Is Lying will lose themselves in the pages of this novel—or maybe in the treacherous hallways of the school. Includes interior illustrations from the author.

Kentukis
by Samanta SchweblinCasi siempre comienza en los hogares. Ya se registran miles de casos en Vancouver, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Oaxaca, y se está propagando rápidamente a todos los rincones del mundo. Los kentukis no son mascotas, ni fantasmas, ni robots. Son ciudadanos reales, y el problema –se dice en las noticias y se comparte en las redes– es que una persona que vive en Berlín no debería poder pasearse libremente por el living de otra que vive en Sidney, ni alguien que vive en Bangkok desayunar junto a tus hijos en tu departamento de Buenos Aires. En especial cuando esas personas que dejamos entrar a casa son completamente anónimas. Los personajes de esta novela encarnan el aspecto más real –y a la vez imprevisible– de la compleja relación que tenemos con la tecnología, reavivando la noción del exhibicionismo y exponiendo al lector a los límites del prejuicio, el cuidado de los otros, la intimidad, el deseo y las buenas intenciones. Kentukis es una novela deslumbrante que potencia su sentido mucho más allá de la atracción que genera desde sus páginas. Una idea insólita y oscura, tan sensata en sus reflejos que, una vez que se entra en ella, ya no se puede salir.
