Unbury Carol: A Novel
by Josh Malerman“This one haunts you for reasons you can’t quite put your finger on. . . . [Josh Malerman] defies categories and comparisons with other writers.”—Kirkus ReviewsThe Bram Stoker Award–nominated author of Bird Box returns with a haunting tale of love, redemption, and murder.Carol Evers is a woman with a dark secret. She has died many times . . . but her many deaths are not final: They are comas, a waking slumber indistinguishable from death, each lasting days. Only two people know of Carol’s eerie condition. One is her husband, Dwight, who married Carol for her fortune, and—when she lapses into another coma—plots to seize it by proclaiming her dead and quickly burying her . . . alive. The other is her lost love, the infamous outlaw James Moxie. When word of Carol’s dreadful fate reaches him, Moxie rides the Trail again to save his beloved from an early, unnatural grave. And all the while, awake and aware, Carol fights to free herself from the crippling darkness that binds her—summoning her own fierce will to survive. As the players in this drama of life and death fight to decide her fate, Carol must in the end battle to save herself. The haunting story of a woman literally bringing herself back from the dead, Unbury Carol is a twisted take on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.Advance praise for Unbury Carol “Breathtaking and menacing . . . an intricately plotted, lyrical page-turner about love, betrayal, revenge, and the primal fear of being buried alive.”—Booklist (starred review) “Unbury Carol is a Poe story set in the weird West we all carry inside us, and it not only hits the ground running, it digs into that ground, too. About six wonderful feet.”—Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels “Bleakly lyrical à la Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O’Connor.”—Library Journal (starred review) “With vivid prose and characters that leap off the page, guns a-blazing, Unbury Carol creates its own lingering legend, dragging you along like an obstinate horse toward a righteous storm of an ending.”—Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Phasma

A Sereia de Harry
by Steve VernonFoi no começo de setembro, época do ano em que a cidade faz o diabo pra se lembrar do que era o calor, apenas uma vez mais antes que o inverno chegue com tudo. Um grupo de pescadores sem-teto pesca algo que PODE realmente ser uma sereia. “Esta história dá a impressão de que John Steinbeck ficou bêbado com Manly Wade Wellman e os dois colaboraram por causa de uma aposta boba.” O QUE AS PESSOAS ESTÃO DIZENDO SOBRE STEVE VERNON “O gênero precisa de sangue novo e Steve Vernon é uma transfusão e tanto” – Edward Lee, autor de FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL “Se Harlan Ellis, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch fizessem um ménage à trois em uma banheira quente, e então uma equipe de cientistas viesse, filtrasse toda a água e misturasse o DNA restante em um tubo de ensaio, o resultado do experimento genético provavelmente seria Steve Vernon.” – Bookgasm “Steve Vernon é uma espécie de anomalia no mundo da literatura de terror. Ele é uma das novas vozes mais revigorantes no gênero, embora sua carreira já se estenda por vinte anos. Escrevendo com rara arrogância e confiança, Steve Vernon pode levar seus leitores por uma gama inteira de emoções que vão desde o medo e a repulsa escancarados à compaixão e aos risos.” – Cemetery Dance “Armado com um senso de humor bizarro, uma enorme dose de originalidade, um dom para assumir riscos e um forte domínio sobre caracterização – Steve tem o jeito com certeza.” Dark Discoveries “Steve Vernon nasceu para escrever. Ele é coisa séria e temos sorte por tê-lo.” – Richard Chizmar Minha mãe acha que eu sou bem legal também.
