Mistletoe And Mayhem: Horrific Tales for the Holidays
by Richard N. Dalby[from inside flaps] "Martha Pym said that she had never seen a ghost and that she would very much like to do so, "particularly at Christmas, for you can laugh as you like, that is the correct time to see a ghost." So begins Marjorie Bowen's story, The Crown Derby Plate, which is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. Martha Pym is right, Christmas is the time to curl up by the fire with a collection of stories designed to make your flesh creep. Some are new stories, specially commissioned for this volume, such as Basil Copper's chilling, Wish You Were Here, in which the postman delivers messages from beyond the grave. The author of Psycho, Robert Bloch, contributes The Night Before Christmas, a powerful tale not to be read by those of a nervous disposition. Others are by firm favourites such as Nigel Kneale, author of the classic, Quatermass. His story, The Stocking, tells of a Christmas visit from the furry, green-eyed, slithery, Minkeys. W. W. Jacobs, the master of the hair-raising short story, is represented by Jem Bundler, one of his most compelling tales of terror. From another time and another place comes Sabine Baring Gould's Mustapha, set in Egypt, which tells of a man tricked into damnation. A wide range of stories are included in Horror for Christmas from the cosily creepy to the truly horrific to make a treat for Christmas no-one will want to miss."

Cuando Thad Beaumont en pleno bloqueo creativo, después de que su novela Las súbitas bailarinas optara al Premio Nacional de Literatura y lo perdiera, decidió seguir los consejos de su mujer y publicar una serie de thrillers retorcidos y sangrientos bajo el pseudónimo de George Stark, no pensó, ni por asomo, que le sería tan difícil «deshacerse» de ese otro yo que, no se explicaba cómo, había dejado de ser ficticio. Cuando el comisario Alan Pangborn aparece en su casa acusándole de un brutal asesinato, Thad trata de afirmar su inocencia, de asegurar que nada tiene que ver con todos esos monstruosos asesinatos cometidos tan cerca de su casa, ni con la retorcida mente que protagoniza sus novelas policíacas, ni con las llamadas de aquella voz que, obscena y susurrante, le pide al teléfono que se rinda. Pero, ¿cómo explicar que sus huellas ensangrentadas han aparecido por todas partes en la escena del crimen? La crítica ha dicho...«Escalofriante.»The New York Times Books Review

Mockingbird
by Sean Stewart"Stephen King meets Ibsen. Trust me."--Neal Stephenson"Witty, wicked, and wise. Wonderful!"--Karen Joy Fowler, The Jane Austen Book Club"A wonderfully vivid and unexpected blend of magic realism and finely-observed contemporary experience."--William GibsonElena Beauchamp used magic the way other people used credit cards, and now that she's dead, her daughters Toni and Candy have a debt to pay. Set in modern-day Houston, Texas, this is a funny and moving novel of voodoo, pregnancy, and family ties. While Toni sorts out the mess that Elena left behind, she must also come to terms with her childhood and with the supernatural and dangerous gift that she has inherited from her mother.--With a new Afterword by the author.-- A New York Times Notable Book.-- World Fantasy and Nebula Award Finalist Reviews"Hands down the best novel I have read in 2005, and one of the best I've ever had the privilege to read."--Park Road Books, Charlotte, NC"The story of a young woman who grudgingly inherits her mother's psychic powers. This book reads like a shot of whiskey--sweet, fiery swirls in the throat that linger on."--Mary-Jo, Powells.com"One of the most enjoyable books of the year."--San Francisco Chronicle"Earthily charming and hilarious."--Booklist"Humor and a Southern sauciness. . . . [Stewart's] poignant take on voodoo among middle-class women makes for delicious fun."--Publishers Weekly"A gentle, funny, affirming novel. . . . Stewart writes beautifully and affectionately about this family and their acquaintances, friends, and business partners. Like a poet with a cattle prod, he crafts his phrasing carefully, then rocks the reader back on his heels with an insight or an insult."--San Diego Union-Tribune"Stewart's best, most perfectly balanced novel yet. . . . a small masterpiece. Stewart's control of tone is nothing short of brilliant; Toni's no-nonsense Texas narrative voice immediately disarms us with its tall-tale overtones and its authentic (and genuinely funny) humor. . . . A work of genuine brilliance."--LocusSean Stewart is the author of the "I Love Bees" and "Beast" search operas, two short stories and seven novels: Perfect Circle, The Night Watch, Nobody's Son, Clouds End, Passion Play, Resurrection Man, and Galveston.
