O Sonhador Vigarista: Uma verdade é invisível, até que alguém precise dela (FICÇÃO / Fantasma #1)
by S. C. TzavellaO Sonhador Vigarista é uma investigação surrealmente imaginada do sonho humano de imortalidade à beira de um amor precário, sobrenatural e fraudulento. Uma verdade é invisível, até que alguém precise. Em um mundo mágico chamado Rasoterra, um fotógrafo de espírito excêntrico, o Homem de cartola e sua esposa, Magiana, lutam para provar que os fantasmas não apenas existem, mas os mortos podem ser capturados junto com seus parentes vivos. Enfrentando inimigos céticos, racionalistas e um namorado insidioso, eles são forçados a revelar um profundo mistério em um julgamento sensacional por fraude e furto. Este conto atemporal é inspirado no espiritualismo e no inventor da fotografia de espíritos em Nova York do pós-guerra de 1860, William Mumler, uma das figuras históricas mais importantes do espiritismo americano que morreu pobre, ridicularizado e ao mesmo tempo copiado por seus inimigos. .

O Último Grande Rato De Biblioteca Do Texas: UM CONTO SOBRE LIVROS E OBSESSÃO
by Steve VernonSteve Vernon presta uma homenagem aos autores de terror e aos bibliófilos nesse conto do Texas Jack Page, um colecionador de livros que também coleciona livros de terror que tem um final surpreendente. Na véspera do seu aniversário de 48 anos, Texas Jack Page esvaziou as suas últimas sete caixas de livros, colocando um por um em frente à sua porta – um homem do tamanho de um barril de vinho se enterrando dentro de um brilhante trailer prata de alumínio, uma tumba de livros. “A história é excelente. Um velho colecionador de livros chamado Texas Jack Page olha para sua vida, seus amores, suas esperanças e seus arrependimentos, e emite filosofias sobre os livros que o mantiveram seguindo em frente. Os leitores avídos e os colecionadores vão reconhecer um pouco de si mesmos no Texas Jack Page; e outros irão se sentir tocados pelo seu sofrimento. Dizer mais iria estragar a experiência, então digo apenas que essa história fez o meu coração doer enquanto ao mesmo tempo me fez sorrir. Minhas palavras não seriam suficiente para descrever esse livro. O conto é lirico e sábio, o livro é algo para se maravilhar, escrito com paixão.” - Whispers of Wickedness “Steve Vernon presta homenagem aos autores de terror e aos bibliófilos nesse conto do Texas Jack Page, um colecionador de livros que também coleciona livros de terror. A sua obsessão com o seus livros, começando quando ainda era novo, continua dominando a sua vida e o leva para um estranho desenvolvimento.” - Monster Librarian

The Obscene Bird of Night: Unabridged, Centennial Edition
by José DonosoNewly revised and updated by Megan McDowell, and with a new introduction by Alejandro Zambra: at last, the unabridged, centennial edition of Donoso’s terrifying masterpiece sees the light of day Deep in a maze of musty, forgotten hallways, Mudito rummages through piles of old newspapers. The mute caretaker of the crumbling former abbey, he is hounded by a coven of ancient witches who are bent on transforming him, bit by bit, into the terrifying imbunche: a twisted monster with all of its orifices sewn up, buried alive in its own body. Once, Mudito walked upright and spoke clearly; once he was the personal assistant to one of Chile’s most powerful politicians, Jerónimo de Azcoitía. Once, he ruled over a palace of monsters, built to shield Jeronimo’s deformed son from any concept of beauty. Once, he plotted with the wise woman Peta Ponce to bed Inés, Jerónimo’s wife. Mudito was Humberto, Jerónimo was strong, Inés was beautiful—once upon a time... Narrated in voices that shift and multiply, The Obscene Bird of Night frets the seams between master and slave, rich and poor, reality and nightmares, man and woman, self and other in a maniacal inquiry into the horrifying transformations that power can wreak on identity. Now, star translator Megan McDowell has revised and updated the classic translation, restoring nearly twenty pages of previously untranslated text that was mysteriously cut from the 1972 edition. Newly complete, with missing motifs restored, plots deepened, and characters more richly shaded, Donoso’s pajarito (little bird), as he called it, returns to print to celebrate the centennial of its author’s birth in full plumage, as brilliant as it is bizarre.
