Corti Perversi
by Andrew Lennon Carmelo Massimo TidonaPerverso - L'ombrosa malignità nascosta nel più traumatizzato dei cervelli. Uno stretto e solido nodo che estrae l'ultimo respiro dal condannato impiccato. Una parola usata per descrivere il lato più oscuro, più squallido della società. Il suono della risata maniacale di un losco estraneo che manda brividi lungo la spina dorsale. Da Andrew Lennon nasce Corti Perversi. Con la prefazione scritta dal futuro dell'horror, Michael Bray, questa raccolta di dieci storie brevi sprofonda nel lato più oscuro della società. Con quattro storie inedite, incluse Divoratore, Ammazzazombie e Le lacrime di un clown, le parole che contiene vi faranno venire gli incubi. Perciò cosa c'è qui dentro? Un marito che vede uno scorcio del suo sinistro futuro; un uomo ossessionato dai suoi vividi incubi; maniaci omicidi; creature degli abissi oceanici e un ragazzo vittima di bullismo che si ribella. Visitiamo anche un revisore dei conti alle soglie della follia; una ragazza tormentata dalla morte della sua migliore amica; un chirurgo con una sanguinosa missione di vendetta; una storia di non morti e un clown vendicativo. Sembra familiare? Dovrebbe, dopo tutto queste persone potrebbero essere i vostri vicini, i vostri amici, vostra madre, l'insegnante dei vostri figli, il vostro postino, il vostro ginecologo o perfino voi, date tempo al tempo... Corti Perversi - la durata è breve ma il ricordo vivrà a lungo.
Soul Trapper
by F. J. LennonKane Pryce knows that ghosts are real . . . and that sometimes they have unfinished business. Shortly after death, a soul will see a door of light leading to the afterlife. But sometimes, when there's something or someone still pulling at them, souls turn their back to this door. Instead, they haunt the living . . . Hollywood native Kane Pryce isn't your average twenty-something dabbling musician. Yes, he's an occasional substance abuser with a distrustful nature and self-destructive streak. And yes, most people might take him for a down-on-his-luck slacker. But to those in a very small circle, he's also known as a ghost-hunting legend. Delving deep into the supernatural isn't a lifestyle that Kane chose for himself, however; it was thrust upon him when his father vanished under mysterious circumstances. Unbeknownst to anyone besides Kane, his father left instructions to his son that led Kane to the Soul Trap, a powerful supernatural treasure that allows him to hunt down, capture, and send ghosts from the earthly realm to the afterlife. For Kane, power over the supernatural has come with a price. Despite his attempts to do good with this power, his efforts often leave a path of destruction. So when his paranormal side-job attracts the attention of Eva Kells, a crack reporter intent on breaking his story, Kane is reluctant can he trust her? Soon, though, risking his heart on a snooping journalist is the least of Kane's worries. He receives a call from a terrified priest whose church is haunted by the soul of a deceased little boy. Kane takes on the case, but as he begins to learn the strange details surrounding the boy's death, he realizes that there's much more at stake than he ever could have imagined. And to complicate things even further, he falls hard for the boy's mother. The only problem is, she's been dead for almost fifty years . . . Nail-biting and darkly humorous, SoulTrapper takes readers on a thrilling ride through the ghostly realm.

Call Me Ishtar: A Novel (Library Of Modern Jewish Literature Ser.)
by Rhoda LermanFrom the award-winning author of God’s Ear: A “wildly funny, achingly spiritual, profoundly Jewish and feminist” satire of religion and gender politics (The New York Times Book Review). Call Me Ishtar is the outrageous manifesto of a goddess determined to right the wrongs of the three-thousand-year-old patriarchy. She is Ishtar: Mother Goddess, Queen of Heaven, Angel of Death, and Whore of Babylon, and, returning to earth in this most recent incarnation, suburban housewife and sexual subversive. Gallivanting through upstate New York, Ishtar breaks into a Hostess factory to taint its products, catapults a rock band to stardom via satanic rituals, and rises from the coffin at her own funeral—all to overthrow the worship of phallic gods and resume her former glory in this “bouncy, tongue-in-cheek mythmash of The White Goddess and The Feminine Mystique” (Kirkus Reviews). “[Lerman’s] is a unique voice—wildly funny, achingly spiritual, profoundly Jewish and feminist at the same time.” —The New York Times Book Review
