Named of the Dragon
by Susanna Kearsley"I've loved every one of Susanna's books! She has bedrock research and a butterfly's delicate touch with characters—sure recipe for historical fiction that sucks you in and won't let go!"—DIANA GABALDON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of OutlanderFrom bestselling author Susanna Kearsley comes a story in which romance and the paranormal combine in a suspenseful Welsh setting to inspire one woman to confront the past and face her own ghosts.The charm of spending the Christmas holidays in South Wales, with its rich history, crumbling castles and ancient myths, seems the perfect distraction from the nightmares that have plagued literary agent Lyn Ravenshaw since the loss of her baby five years ago.Instead, she meets an emotionally fragile young widow who's convinced that Lyn's recurring dreams have drawn her to Castle Farm for an important purpose—and she's running out of time.With the help of a reclusive, brooding playwright, Lyn begins to untangle the mystery and is pulled into a world of Celtic legends, dangerous prophecies, and a child destined for greatness.Generations of Welsh history haunt Named of the Dragon, but the light that shines through the shadows is sure to draw fans of Diana Gabaldon, Kate Morton and Kate Mosse.Also by Susanna Kearsley:The Winter SeaThe FirebirdA Desperate FortuneThe Rose GardenThe Shadowy HorsesThe Splendour FallsSeason of StormsMarianaBellewether

What they'll encounter will haunt them.

Beautifully illustrated in black and white."In Nanjing, cartoonist Ethan Young tells an intimate story against an epic landscape. Bold, heart-breaking, and gorgeously rendered." —Eisner and Printz Award-winner Gene Luen Yang (Boxers & Saints, American Born Chinese)"Young&’s decision not to glorify violence or titillate the reader in any way avoids a common pitfall and heightens the drama. This is stunning, stirring historical fiction by a creator at the height of his craft." (Starred review) —Publishers Weekly"Young&’s is just one chapter in an overwhelmingly grievous episode of the 20th century. The specifics might be fictional amidst a historical backdrop, but in creating names, depicting individual faces both living and dead, Young conjures a haunting microcosm amidst a horrifying event of epic proportions." —Smithsonian APAC Bookdragon"A rugged black and white style ... a little Kubert, a little Tardi." —The Beat"Nanjing: The Burning City deserves a spot alongside not only historical comics, but wartime prose and non-fiction as well. It&’s not often that an author can so skillfully evoke powerful emotion while telling a complex and long-forgotten story and this book is an excellent, necessary addition to the genre." —The A.V. Club"Haunting and powerful, Nanjing is a moving tribute to an event which needs to be remembered, as much as we'd like to forget it." —Eisner and Harvey Award-winning author Derek Kirk Kim (Same Difference, Tune)"Young's expressive, thoughtful line work takes full advantage of comics' power. Nanjing reads effortlessly while begging the eyes to savor each page. A triumph at the very soul of the medium, a perfect marriage of Toth and Tatsumi." —Eisner Award-winning writer/artist Nate Powell (March, Swallow Me Whole)

Narraciones Extraordinarias
by Edgar Allan PoeLa genialidad y la originalidad de Edgar Allan Poe, maestro del relato de terror y detectivesco, encuentran quizás su mejor expresión en los cuentos, que, según sus propias apreciaciones críticas, son la segunda forma literaria, pues permiten una lectura sin interrupciones, y por tanto la unidad de efecto que resulta imposible en la novela. La obra de Poe influyó notablemente en los simbolistas franceses, en especial en Charles Baudelaire, quien lo dio a conocer en Europa.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket
by Jeffrey Meyers Edgar Allan PoeAfter reading an 1836 newspaper account of a shipwreck and its two survivors, Edgar Allan Poe penned his only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, the story of a stowaway on a Nantucket whaleship who finds himself enmeshed in the dark side of life at sea: mutiny, cannibalism, savagery--even death. As Jeffrey Meyers writes in his Introduction: "[Poe] remains contemporary because he appeals to basic human feelings and expresses universal themes common to all men in all languages: dreams, love, loss; grief, mourning, alienation; terror, revenge, murder; insanity, disease, and death." Within the pages of this novel, we encounter nearly all of them.This Modern Library Paperback Classic reprints the text of the original 1838 American edition.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Nas Profundezas Sombrias
by Steve VernonEra a primeira viagem no mar de Billy McTavish. Ele havia se alistado para sevir como escolta de comboio na THISTLE, uma corveta da Marinha Real do Canadá. Em meio a ataques de submarino e bombardeios de aviões Luftwaffe, Billy achava que já tinha visto todos os horrores que o Atlântico pode oferecer a um jovem marinheiro canadense. Mas Big Jimmy Noonan tinha outras ideias… O QUE ESTÃO DIZENDO SOBRE A ESCRITA DE STEVE VERNON! "Se Harlan Ellis, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch fizessem um ménage à trois em uma banheira quente, e então uma equipe de cientistas viesse, filtrasse toda a água e misturasse o DNA restante em um tubo de ensaio, o resultado do experimento genético provavelmente viria a tornar-se Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm "Steve Vernon é uma espécie de anomalia no mundo da literatura de terror. Ele é uma das novas vozes mais revigorantes no gênero, embora sua carreira já se estenda por vinte anos. Escrevendo com rara arrogância e confiança, Steve Vernon pode levar seus leitores por uma gama inteira de emoções que vão desde o medo e a repulsa escancarados à compaixão e aos risos." - Cemetery Dance "Armado com um senso de humor bizarro, uma enorme dose de originalidade, um dom para assumir riscos e um forte domínio sobre caracterização – Steve tem o jeito, com certeza." - Dark Discoveries “Steve Vernon é um escritor difícil de definir. E isso é uma coisa boa.” – Dark Scribe Magazine "O gênero precisa de sangue novo, e Steve Vernon é uma transfusão e tanto! " –Edward Lee, autor de FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL “Steve Vernon é um dos melhores novos talentos nos gêneros de terror e ficção sombria” - Owl Goingback, autor de CROTA "Steve Vernon nasceu para escrever. Ele é coisa séria, e temos sorte por tê-lo" - Richard Chizmar
