sus fans: Holly Gibney, la detective privada que, por primera vez, protagoniza una novela en solitario.Cuando Penny Dahl contacta con Finders Keepers para que la ayuden a encontrar a su hija, algo en la voz desesperada de la mujer hace que Holly Gibney se vea obligada a aceptar el trabajo. A poca distancia del lugar en el que Bonnie Dahl desapareció, viven los profesores Rodney y Emily Harris. Son la quintaesencia de la respetabilidad burguesa: un matrimonio octogenario y dedicado de académicos semiretirados. Nadie diría que, en el sótano de su impecable casa forrada de libros, esconden un secreto directamente relacionado con la desaparición de Bonnie. Son astutos, pacientes y despiadados, y obligarán a Holly a emplear sus habilidades al máximo y a arriesgarlo todo si quiere cerrar el caso más oscuro al que se ha enfrentado jamás. «No podía olvidarme de Holly. Se suponía que solo iba a ser un personaje secundario en Mr. Mercedes, pero se llevó toda la atención y mi corazón. Holly es ella en estado puro».Stephen King Críticas: «Cuando Stephen King se mete en el género está a la altura de los clásicos. Con Holly ha vuelto a regalarnos una excelente novela».Juan Carlos Galindo, El País«King está enamorado de este personaje y vuelve a poner aquí en evidencia que es uno de los más talentosos creadores de mujeres: un auténtico y comprometido feminista dentro de la literatura norteamericana».Rodrigo Fresán, ABC «No contento con ser el maestro del terror y de la fantasía, Stephen King se ha ganado, en los últimos años, un lugar de pleno derecho entre los mejores escritores de novela negra de Estados Unidos».Sunday Express«Stephen King es indiscutiblemente uno de los mejores narradores del siglo, y un maestro a la hora de retratar los horrores que habitan bajo la superficie de lo que parece la vida normal».Daily MailSobre Billy Summers:«En Billy Summers (como ya lo hizo en Misery) King insiste en la idea de que escribir es sobrevivir y que no hay nada más importante que el vivir para contarlo».Rodrigo Fresán «Excombatiente de la guerra de Irak, Billy Summers tiene un pasado más jodido que el de Rambo, pero es un tipo estupendo: buen vecino, buen niñero, buenamante... Y un soldado que sabe que nunca se deja atrás a un compañero, aun cuando esto sea un mal negocio».Esquire «Con Billy Summers, su segunda novela en un año, el Rey del Terror vuelve a su mejor nivel».El País «Un excelente relato de redención que engancha y conmueve».La Razón «Todoconfluye, una vez más, en lo que probablemente sea El Tema recurrente de King: el hacer justicia deshaciendo injusticia».ABCA Summer Fling: These Girls Are About To Have A Summer They'll Never Forget!

Par Joyce Carol Oates. 2018
Dark, brilliant fiction from the New York Times-bestselling author: &“Oates&’ spookiness is visceral, psychologically involving, and socially astute.&”―Booklist In the…
title story of her taut new fiction collection, Joyce Carol Oates writes: Life was not of the surface like the glossy skin of an apple, but deep inside the fruit where seeds are harbored. There is no writer more capable of picking out those seeds and exposing all their secret tastes and poisons than Oates herself—as demonstrated in these six stories. One tale opens with a woman, naked except for her high-heeled shoes, seated in front of the window in an apartment she cannot, on her own, afford. In this exquisitely tense narrative reimagining of Edward Hopper&’s Eleven A.M., 1926, the reader enters the minds of both the woman and her married lover, each consumed by alternating thoughts of disgust and arousal, as he rushes, amorously, murderously, to her door. In &“The Long-Legged Girl,&” an aging, jealous wife crafts an unusual game of Russian roulette involving a pair of Wedgwood teacups, a strong Bengal brew, and a lethal concoction of medicine. Who will drink from the wrong cup, the wife or the dance student she believes to be her husband&’s latest conquest? In &“The Sign of the Beast,&” when a former Sunday school teacher&’s corpse turns up, the blighted adolescent she had by turns petted and ridiculed confesses to her murder—but is he really responsible? And another young outsider, Horace Phineas Love, Jr., is haunted by apparitions at the very edge of the spectrum of visibility after the death of his tortured father in &“Night-Gaunts,&” a fantastic ode to H.P. Lovecraft. &“Consummately well-written, stylistically dashing...forthrightly nightmarish.&”―Kirkus ReviewsB.P.R.D. Omnibus Volume 8

volume, renowned horror editor Ellen Datlow wrote to her favorite authors asking for stories that would &“provide the reader with a frisson of shock, or a moment of dread so powerful it might cause the reader outright physical discomfort; or a sensation of fear so palpable that the reader feels impelled to turn up the lights very bright and play music or seek the company of others to dispel the fear.&” Mission accomplished. The resulting collection draws together some of the most powerful voices in the field: Pat Cadigan, Terry Dowling, Jeffrey Ford, Christopher Fowler, Glen Hirshberg, K. W.

A World Fantasy Award–winning anthology of erotic horror stories, including dark tales of desire by Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen Dedman,…
Harry Crews, and others. The title of this acclaimed anthology comes from the French term &“la petite mort,&” a seventeenth-century euphemism for orgasm. It was thought that part of a man&’s life-force was drained from him each time he climaxed. In Little Deaths, renowned horror editor Ellen Datlow collects twenty-two stories that explore the connection between sex and death. These stories range from the erotic to the psychological, all against a backdrop of horror.

This award-winning horror anthology is the &“yardstick by which future ghost fiction will be measured&”—featuring Tanith Lee, Joyce Carol Oates,…
and others (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Award-winning anthologist Ellen Datlow—praised by William Gibson as &“the genre&’s sharpest assembler of strange, dark fictions&”—is determined to prove that ghost stories still possess the power to chill modern readers to the marrow. So she reached out to a list of varied and talented authors and invited them to scare the heck out of her. The resulting anthology redefines the ghost story, venturing beyond the accustomed tropes and into horror&’s true realm: the unknown. The Dark takes a nuanced and disquieting look at the tormented and unquiet dead; the darkness in us, the living; and the sometimes tenuous boundary between the two. Under the covers of The Dark, you will find a gathering of sixteen unique ghost stories, deftly penned by authors versed in the argot of the damned, including Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey Ford, Glen Hirshberg, Kelly Link, Sharyn McCrumb, Lucius Shepard, and Gahan Wilson. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.Winner of the International Horror Guild Award for Best Anthology of the YearRelatos de la noche

vertido relatos escalofriantes en los que la noche se presenta afilada y solitaria. Esa noche cae como un pesado cuchillo sobre la realidad que abre una grieta hacia lo paranormal. El rechinar de una puerta, un cristal roto, una voz distorsionada… con la puesta del sol, estas cosas sufren una metamorfosis literal y metafórica que nos empujan hacia un miedo sofocante. Estos son sucesos que uno quisiera contar a susurros, como para no invocaralgo terrible. Las historias de estas páginas carecen de explicaciones y, sin duda alguna, desearás que nunca te ocurran a ti. “PREPÁRATE PARA EMBARCAR EN UN VIAJE A TRAVÉS DE LAS SOMBRAS, DONDE CADA HISTORIA SE CONVIERTE EN UN ESPEJO QUE REFLEJA NUESTROS MIEDOS Y ANHELOS MÁS PROFUNDOS.”-ANDRÉS VARGAS “RUZO”The Bewdley Mayhem: Hellmouths of Bewdley, Pontypool Changes Everything, and Caesarea
Par Tony Burgess. 2014
Together for the first time, the complete Bewdley trilogy will alter your imagination as it details the strange, dark happenings…
in a rural Ontario town.The Hellmouths of Bewdley is a series of 16 stories hiding in a novel about a small town in Ontario&’s cottage country. Navigating through drunk and dead men, prisons and suicides and mad doctors, these short stories act as a halfway house for literary delinquents. Pontypool Changes Everything is the terrifying story of a devastating virus. Caught through conversation, once it has you, it leads you into another world where the undead chase you down the streets of the smallest towns and largest cities. In Caesarea, everybody&’s embarrassed and nobody is mentioning the mess. Caesarea, you see, is the town that can&’t get to sleep at night. Only Burgess demands answers to the really big question: Who&’s been sleeping in your bed? With a preface by Jonathan Ball.Praise for Tony Burgess &“These stories are universally dark and not for the timid or prudish. A subtle horror invades the fine writing; intimate biological details of violent death are revealed in a manner that suggests Stephen King having a confidential chat with Hieronymus Bosch in the north woods. What Burgess reveals is that the dark edges of humanity we stereotypically equate with the urban are present and even more threatening in areas with no 911 service.&” —Quill & Quire on The Hellmouths of Bewdley &“Pontypool Changes Everything may be one of the most genuinely horrifying horror novels—as opposed to simply discomforting, sickening or terrifying, although it is all of these as well—that I have ever read.&” —HorrorscopeCalled Upon: A Novel

But, trapped in a loveless marriage to a policeman who uses a microchip to monitor her every move, Nelah&’s perfect life is precarious. After a drug-fueled evening culminates in an eerie car accident, Nelah commits a desperate crime and buries the body, daring to hope that she can keep one last secret.The truth claws its way into Nelah&’s life from the grave. As the ghost of her victim viciously hunts down the people Nelah holds dear, she is thrust into a race against the clock: in order to save any of her remaining loved ones, Nelah must unravel the political conspiracy her victim was on the verge of exposing—or risk losing everyone. Set in a cruel futuristic surveillance state where bodies are a government-issued resource, this harrowing story is a twisty, nail-biting commentary on power, monstrosity, and bodily autonomy.

From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Italian Fever and award-winning Property, comes a fresh twist on the classic Jekyll…
and Hyde story, a novel told from the perspective of Dr. Jekyll's dutiful and intelligent housemaid. "Part psychological novel, part social history, part eerie horror tale ... dark and moving and powerful." —The Washington Post Faithfully weaving in details from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Martin introduces an original and captivating character: Mary is a survivor—scarred but still strong—familiar with evil, yet brimming with devotion and love. As a bond grows between Mary and her tortured employer, she is sent on errands to unsavory districts of London and entrusted with secrets she would rather not know. Unable to confront her hideous suspicions about Dr. Jekyll, Mary ultimately proves the lengths to which she'll go to protect him. Through her astute reflections, we hear the rest of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, and this familiar tale is made more terrifying than we remember it, more complex than we imagined possible.
