Par Sara Herchenroether. 2023
People tend to think of us as shadows. Blurred black mist. Often, it’s “out of the corner of my eye.”…
People sense the cold. I’ve heard of ghost hunters who use a tape measure, laying it on the ground to mark our boundaries. I don’t want to be measured. In 1983, deep in New Mexico’s Gila National Forest, the bodies of a young woman and two children were found. Who were they? How did they get there? Thirty years later, two women find themselves drawn to the cold case. Librarian Laura MacDonald begins her own investigation as a way to distract herself from breast cancer treatments and becomes consumed by her search for answers. Jean Martinez is a veteran detective determined to keep working cold cases for the Sierra County police force even as her family begs her to retire. With only fragments from dusty case files and a witness who doesn’t want to remember, this unlikely duo is determined—no matter the cost—to uncover the truth behind the murders. And with their help, the woman in the woods is finally able to tell her story on her own terms and summon the power to be found. The Night Flowers—a haunting debut thriller written with pulse-pounding precision and a deep understanding of the psychology of violence and the tenacity of those who combat it—announces the arrival of Sara Herchenroether as an exciting new voice.Gritos misteriosos y sombras aterradoras rondan los bosques del Este de Texas— terrores nacidos de secretos mortales. > FINALISTA: Feathered Quill…

Me encantó el diálogo y el ambiente del Este de Texas... definitivamente recomiendo La Guarida en Hogg Run a los fans del terror que busquen una experiencia totalmente envolvente y escalofriante." ~ Opiniones de Readers' Favorite Book, K.C. Finn (5 ESTRELLAS) No es nada incómodo cuando te obligan a pasar unas vacaciones familiares con tu nueva madrastra y su hija pequeña. A regañadientes, Macy Donner acepta para complacer a su padre. ¿Pero acampar? Peor aún. Acosada por un clima inquietante, cortes de electricidad y sombras corpulentas anunciadas por gritos aterradores desde la oscuridad, Macy se da cuenta de que ella es su única esperanza de sobrevivir—una esperanza muy mínima, en el mejor de los casos. Aunque ha aprendido un par de cosas de sus amigos cazadores de monstruos, no está preparada para los terrores de la casa cercana encantada y abandonada, ni para sus secretos enterrados desde hace mucho tiempo—secretos que quieren matarla. "Los temas del amor y la unión familiar, aunque poco frecuentes en las historias de terror, predominan en el argumento. Con monstruos fantásticos y de la vida real, secuencias de persecución llenas de suspenso y una valiente protagonista, La Guarida en Hogg Run es una auténtica delicia para los aficionados al género de terror." ~ Opiniones de Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Shrabastee Chakraborty (5 ESTRELLAS) EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTA el cuarto libro de la aclamada saga de historias de terror, ganadora de múltiples premios, "Lorestalker", protagonizada por cThe Original Frankenstein (Vintage Classics)
Par Mary Shelley. 2008
Working from the earliest surviving draft of Frankenstein, Charles E. Robinson presents two versions of the classic novel—as Mary Shelley…
originally wrote it and a subsequent version clearly indicating Percy Shelley&’s amendments and contributions. For the first time we can hear Mary&’s sole voice, which is colloquial, fast-paced, and sounds more modern to a contemporary reader. We can also see for the first time the extent of Percy Shelley&’s contribution—some 5,000 words out of 72,000—and his stylistic and thematic changes. His occasionally florid prose is in marked contrast to the directness of Mary&’s writing. Interesting, too, are Percy&’s suggestions, which humanize the monster, thus shaping many of the major themes of the novel as we read it today. In these two versions of Frankenstein we have an exciting new view of one of literature&’ s greatest works.Night of the Wolves (Vampire Hunters #1)

this beguiling collection of twelve imaginative stories set in Lagos, Nigeria, ’Pemi Aguda dramatizes the tension between our yearning to be individuals and the ways we are haunted by what came before. In “Manifest,” a woman sees the ghost of her abusive mother in her daughter’s face. Shortly after, the daughter is overtaken by wicked and destructive impulses. In “Breastmilk,” a wife forgives her husband for his infidelity. Months later, when she is unable to produce milk for her newborn, she blames herself for failing to uphold her mother’s feminist values and doubts her fitness for motherhood. In “Things Boys Do,” a trio of fathers finds something unnatural and unnerving about their infant sons. As their lives rapidly fall to pieces, they begin to fear that their sons are the cause of their troubles. And in “24, Alhaji Williams Street,” a teenage boy lives in the shadow of a mysterious disease that’s killing the boys on his street. These and other stories in Ghostroots map emotional and physical worlds that lay bare the forces of family, myth, tradition, gender, and modernity in Nigerian society.
