by Susan Laine Eledh ArmataSeguito di Il desiderio del genioSerie Sollevando il Velo. Libro 3Dieci anni fa, la Grande Rivelazione ha mostrato la presenza sulla Terra di creature sovrannaturali, ma non sono in tanti a sapere molto su di loro o a dare loro molta importanza, a parte quando si tratta di ricevere uno stipendio. Kieran Knight è un mercenario che dà la caccia alle creature mitologiche per denaro. La sua missione è rapire un certo Gabriel King per portarlo dal suo cliente. Ma il suo obiettivo non è un semplice cowboy: è un potente licantropo e il beta del suo branco e, come scopriranno presto, Gabriel e Kieran sono compagni. Kieran non sa praticamente nulla di come funzioni un accoppiamento, e non è neppure gay, ma ciò non vuol dire che non senta l'attrazione bollente che c'è tra lui e l'altro uomo. Per salvare Gabriel, mette in atto un piano di fuga, ma i suoi clienti non lasceranno andare il loro licantropo senza lottare.

La masacre de Kruguer
by Luciano LambertiEn un formato que mezcla entrevistas documentales con recreación ficcional, Lamberti presenta la historia de una pesadilla que se aproxima lentamente para mostrarse al fin con todo su horror y su locura. En el pequeño pueblo de montaña de Kruguer cada 26 de junio se realiza la Fiesta de la Nieve: ante la atenta mirada de los turistas, la comunidad se reúne en la plaza a disfrutar bailes típicos, asado de cordero, muestras gratis de chocolate y ríos de cerveza alemana. Los negocios se llenan y la recaudación sirve para aguardar la llegada del verano. Pero en la celebración del año 1987 algo sucede, algo que venían sospechando desde los pueblos vecinos: el asesinato de casi la totalidad de la población. La crítica ha dicho... «No solo es inteligente para armar una historia, Luciano Lamberti también es sensible y salvaje, como la literatura que nos gusta leer y vivir. O bueno, tal vez no tanto vivir».Mariano Quirós «La -por ahora- trilogía de El asesino, El loro y La casa de los eucaliptus condensa, con sus diferencias de estilo y recursos, un cúmulo de historias tan nacionales como a Borges le gustaría, es decir, historias universales».Sebastián Rodríguez Mora, revista Crisis «Luciano Lamberti es un escritor sorprendente: puede ser aterrador, como en La casa de los eucaliptos, o encarnar el espíritu de una época y una generación en El asesino de chanchos o inquietar con una novela anómala en la literatura contemporánea argentina como La maestra rural. Cada uno de sus libros es, para mí, un acontecimiento».Mariana Enriquez
