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.
