A História de Finbar
by Steve VernonA água é mentirosa. Uma história com água não pode ser confiada, e suas palavras serão levadas com a primeira chuva torrencial ou com as lágrimas de um longo choro. E as histórias contadas em sangue e pedra são, de longe, as que mais ficam marcadas. Finbar Tanner está contando uma história para seu filho, Isaac. É uma história sobre amor, desejo e sacrifício. Uma história sobre sangue, água e pedras. Uma história sobre as correntezas mais profundas que correm no coração de um homem. Uma história sobre o mar. O QUE 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 viria a tornar-se 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 também acha que eu sou bem legal.

by Steve Vernon Gabriela Miranda GonzálezEl agua es una mentirosa. Si cuentas una historia con agua, no se puede confiar en ella y se lavará con la primera lluvia fuerte o con las lágrimas de un largo llanto.

Cuando piensas que las has descifrado, cuando sientes que la corriente te conduce hacia algo parecido a un final feliz, las mejores historias te engañarán siempre.
The Historian: To You, Perceptive Reader, I Bequeath My History
by Elizabeth KostovaTo you, perceptive reader, I bequeath my history... Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters. The letters are all addressed to My dear and unfortunate successor, and they plunge her into a world she never dreamed of a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an inconceivable evil hidden in the depths of history. The letters provide links to one of the darkest powers that humanity has ever known and to a centuries-long quest to find the source of that darkness and wipe it out. It is a quest for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler whose barbarous reign formed the basis of the legend of Dracula. Generations of historians have risked their reputations, their sanity, and even their lives to learn the truth about Vlad the Impaler and Dracula. Now one young woman must decide whether to take up this quest herself to follow her father in a hunt that nearly brought him to ruin years ago, when he was a vibrant young scholar and her mother was still alive. What does the legend of Vlad the Impaler have to do with the modern world? Is it possible that the Dracula of myth truly existed and that he has lived on, century after century, pursuing his own unknowable ends? The answers to these questions cross time and borders, as first the father and then the daughter search for clues, from dusty Ivy League libraries to Istanbul, Budapest, and the depths of Eastern Europe. In city after city, in monasteries and archives, in letters and in secret conversations, the horrible truth emerges about Vlad the Impaler's dark reign and about a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive down through the ages. Parsing obscure signs and hidden texts, reading codes worked into the fabric of medieval monastic traditions and evading the unknown adversaries who will go to any lengths to conceal and protect Vlad's ancient powers one woman comes ever closer to the secret of her own past and a confrontation with the very definition of evil. Elizabeth Kostova's debut novel is an adventure of monumental proportions, a relentless tale that blends fact and fantasy, history and the present, with an assurance that is almost unbearably suspenseful and utterly unforgettable.

Histories of the Devil
by Jeremy TamblingThis book is about representations of the devil in English and European literature. Tracing the fascination in literature, philosophy, and theology with the irreducible presence of what may be called evil, or comedy, or the carnivalesque, this book surveys the parts played by the devil in the texts derived from the Faustus legend, looks at Marlowe and Shakespeare, Rabelais, Milton, Blake, Hoffmann, Baudelaire, Goethe, Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, and Mann, historically, speculatively, and from the standpoint of critical theory. It asks: Is there a single meaning to be assigned to the idea of the diabolical? What value lies in thinking diabolically? Is it still the definition of a good poet to be of the devil's party, as Blake argued?

A History of Horror, 2nd Edition
by Wheeler Winston DixonEver since horror leapt from popular fiction to the silver screen in the late 1890s, viewers have experienced fear and pleasure in exquisite combination. Wheeler Winston Dixon's fully revised and updated A History of Horror is still the only book to offer a comprehensive survey of this ever-popular film genre. Arranged by decades, with outliers and franchise films overlapping some years, this one-stop sourcebook unearths the historical origins of characters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman and their various incarnations in film from the silent era to comedic sequels. In covering the last decade, this new edition includes coverage of the resurgence of the genre, covering the swath of new groundbreaking horror films directed by women, Black and queer horror films, and a new international wave in body horror films. A History of Horror explores how the horror film fits into the Hollywood studio system, how the distribution and exhibition of horror films have changed in a post-COVID world, and how its enormous success in American and European culture expanded globally over time. Dixon examines key periods in the horror film-in which the basic precepts of the genre were established, then banished into conveniently reliable and malleable forms, and then, after collapsing into parody, rose again and again to create new levels of intensity and menace. A History of Horror, supported by rare stills from classic films, brings over sixty timeless horror films into frightfully clear focus, zooms in on today's top horror Web sites, and champions the stars, directors, and subgenres that make the horror film so exciting and popular with contemporary audiences.
