Peril in the Old Country (Terribly Serious Darkness)

Then there are the bloodthirsty cannibals from nearby Carpathia, secret societies plotting in whispers, and murder victims found drained of their blood, to name a few. That's to say nothing of the multitude of government ministries, any one of which might haul one off for "questioning" in the middle of the night. The Old Country is saturated with doom, and Sloot is scarcely able to keep from drowning in it. Each passing moment is certain to be his last, though never did fate seem so grim as the day he was asked to correct the worst report ever written.

Pesadillas y alucinaciones I: El Cadillac De Dolan Y Otros Relatos
by Stephen KingLa historia de una venganza tan terrible como merecida; un pueblo habitado por fantasmas de rockeros muertos; vampiros con un fuerte instinto paternal; niños demoníacos y un insólito Dr. Watson que descubre un caso antes de Sherlock Holmes. «Cuando la gente ve fantasmas, siempre se ve primero a sí misma», afirma Stephen King, y pocas reflexiones servirían mejor que esta como moraleja de sus historias: el mundo de la fantasía está poblado por las sombras de la conciencia.

Petrified
by Graham Masterton“A splendidly entertaining horror novel from a master of the genre” (Booklist). Braydon Harris is convinced God has it in for him. Although Suki, his little girl, seemed thrilled to be kidnapped from her mom’s parents’ house, an electric storm has hit, and it looks like the Lord isn’t going to make it easy for Braydon to get away. Braydon’s right. A huge truck jack-knifes in front of him, his car catches alight, and Sukie winds up in hospital with terrible burns—burns that only exacerbate the terrible nightmare she’s had for years about scary things flying through the sky, like shadows . . . “A fast-paced, gruesome tale sure to bring chills to receptive spines.” —Kirkus Reviews
