El traje del muerto: Tarde o temprano los muertos te alcanzan
by Joe HillUna estrella de rock excéntrica, una novia gótica y sensual, un secretario enamorado de su jefe, un fantasma del que no pueden escapar y una historia que jamás olvidarás. Judas Coyne es un coleccionista de lo macabro: un libro de cocina para caníbales, la soga usada por un verdugo, una película snuff. Veterano dios del rock duro, su gusto por todo lo fuera de lo normal es tan ampliamente conocido por sus legiones de fans como los excesos de su juventud. Pero nada de lo que posee es tan insólito ni espantoso como su último descubrimiento, un objeto a la venta en internet, algo tan terriblemente extraño que Jude no puede evitar echar mano de su cartera. Vendo el fantasma de mi padre al mejor postor... Por mil dólares, Jude se convertirá en el orgulloso propietario del traje de un muerto, del que se cuenta que está hechizado por un espíritu inquieto. No tiene miedo. Ha pasado toda su vida tratando con fantasmas -el de un padre malvado, los de las amantes a las que cruelmente abandonó, los de los músicos a quienes traicionó-. ¿Qué puede suponer uno más? Pero lo que le entregará en mano un mensajero en una caja negra con forma de corazón no es un fantasma imaginario, metafórico, ni un agradable tema de conversación. Es algo real. Y de repente el anterior dueño del traje está por todas partes: tras la puerta del dormitorio, sentado en su Mustang de época, de pie al otro lado de la ventana, contemplándole fijamente desde la pantalla gigante de su televisor, acechando con una reluciente navaja que cuelga de una cadena de una huesuda mano... La crítica ha dicho...«El traje del muerto es, sencillamente, la mejor opera prima de terror desde que Clive Barker escribió su Damnation Game hace veinte años. Es el tipo de libro para el que los exagerados adjetivos que se utilizan en las contraportadas de los libros -sobrecogedor, absorbente, impactante, imposible de soltar-encajan a la perfección, ya que es todas esas cosas además de enormemente inteligente. Una auténtica y terrorífica novela llena de personas con las que uno se identifica; la clase de libro que permanece en la memoria después de haber finalizado su lectura. Tiene toda mi admiración.»Neil Gaiman, The New York Times «La primera y apasionante novela de Joe Hill está repleta de momentos tan espeluznantes que te hielan la sangre o tan escalofriantes como una llamada telefónica de un viejo amigo muerto.»Entertainment Weekly «Inquietante... con tantos giros y sustos que los lectores al llegar al final se quedarán pálidos agarrando con fuerza los brazos de su sillón.»Denver Post

The Transgressionists and Other Disquieting Works: Five Tales of Weird Fiction
by Giorgio De Maria"A disturbing, unsettling novel . . . if it had been published in English soon after its first appearance in Italian (1968), the name of Giorgio De Maria would be well-known, his novels and stories mentioned in the context of J.G. Ballard, Anna Kavan, Shirley Jackson or Robert Aickman."—Lisa Tuttle, Nebula Award winner and author of Gabriel, Windhaven, and The Curious Affair of the Witch at Wayside Cross. Before an untimely mental breakdown cut short his two-decade career, Giorgio De Maria distinguished himself as one of Italy's most unique and eccentric weird fiction masters. With a background in the post-war literary culture of Turin -- Italy's urbane but eerie "city of black magic" -- De Maria drew inspiration from the Turinese underbelly of occultism, secret societies and radical politics. His writing coincided with the decade of terrorist violence known to Italians as the Years of Lead; the outcome was a weird fiction suffused with panic, rage, trauma, paranoia and meditations on antisocial hubris. In 1978, he told an interviewer: "...I think that the dimension of the fantastic, as much as this may seem paradoxical, is the most fitting one to express a reality as complex as ours today." De Maria's debut novel, The Transgressionists (1968) portrays a cell of malicious telepaths who meet in the cafés and jazz clubs of 1960s Turin to plot world domination. After experiencing the worst of their power, an embittered office clerk resolves to join them and prove himself worthy to share in their villainy. He cultivates twisted mindfulness techniques to awaken his inner sociopath. He fights off predatory phantoms that seem maddeningly drawn to him. He prepares for the dangerous "Great Leap" which will make him into a fully-fledged Transgressionist. But could his megalomania strain relations with his fiancee? Will he sacrifice love in his quest for omnipotence? The other works in this volume are no less surreal and startling. The Secret Death of Joseph Dzhugashvili (1976) gives us a nightmarish fantasy Soviet Union, where a dissident poet finds himself trapped in a psychological experiment conducted by Stalin himself. In "The End of Everydayism," a group of futuristic artists begin using corpses as a medium -- with violent, unforeseen results. The antihero of "General Trebisonda" is a possibly insane commander who prepares for a war crime in an eerily deserted fortress. Available in English for the first time, this collection contains two novellas, two short stories and a dystopian teleplay, The Appeal, which the post-cyberpunk novelist Andrea Vaccaro has lauded as "worthy of the best episodes of Black Mirror." Meanwhile, an introduction by translator Ramon Glazov offers a detailed account of De Maria's background, creative context and thoroughly unusual life.

Transmedia Creatures: Frankenstein’s Afterlives
by Lidia De Michelis Eleanor Beal Gino Roncaglia Claire Nally Claudia Gualtieri Federico Meschini Enrico Reggiani Diego Saglia Daniele Pio Buenza Ruth Heholt Andrew McInnes Janet LarsonOn the 200th anniversary of the first edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Transmedia Creatures presents studies of Frankenstein by international scholars from converging disciplines such as humanities, musicology, film studies, television studies, English and digital humanities. These innovative contributions investigate the afterlives of a novel taught in a disparate array of courses - Frankenstein disturbs and transcends boundaries, be they political, ethical, theological, aesthetic, and not least of media, ensuring its vibrant presence in contemporary popular culture. Transmedia Creatures highlights how cultural content is redistributed through multiple media, forms and modes of production (including user-generated ones from “below”) that often appear synchronously and dismantle and renew established readings of the text, while at the same time incorporating and revitalizing aspects that have always been central to it. The authors engage with concepts, value systems and aesthetic-moral categories—among them the family, horror, monstrosity, diversity, education, risk, technology, the body—from a variety of contemporary approaches and highly original perspectives, which yields new connections. Ultimately, Frankenstein, as evidenced by this collection, is paradoxically enriched by the heteroglossia of preconceptions, misreadings, and overreadings that attend it, and that reveal the complex interweaving of perceptions and responses it generates. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
The Transmigration of Timothy Archer: A Maze Of Death /valis / The Divine Invasion / The Transmigration Of Timothy Archer (VALIS Trilogy #3)
by Philip K. DickFrom the acclaimed author of VALIS, the world of an Episcopal bishop is shaken up by death and the discovery of ancient scrolls in Israel. The final book in Philip K. Dick&’s VALIS trilogy, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer brings the author&’s search for the identity and nature of God to a close. The novel follows Bishop Timothy Archer as he travels to Israel, ostensibly to examine ancient scrolls bearing the words of Christ. But, more importantly, this leads him to examine the decisions he made during his life and how they may have contributed to the suicide of his mistress and son. This introspective book is one of Dick&’s most philosophical and literary, delving into the mysteries of religion and of faith itself. As one of Dick&’s final works, it also provides unique insight into the mind of a genius, whose work was still in the process of maturing at the time of his death.&“An eerie and splendid book.&”—Washington Post
Transmutation: Stories
by Alex DiFrancescoTransgressive, transformative short stories that explore the margins of trans lives.Building on the success of All City, here is a wry, and at the same time dark and risk-taking, story collection from author (and baker) Alex DiFrancesco that pushes the boundaries of transgender awareness and filial bonds. Here is the hate between 16-year-old Junie, who is transitioning, and their mom's boyfriend Chad when the family moves into Chad's house on Lake Erie. And here is the love being tested between Sawyer and his dad, who named his boat after his child and resists changing it from Sara to Sawyer now. There is DiFrancesco's willingness to enter lands that are violent and comfortless in some of these stories, testing the limits of what it means to be human, sometimes returning stronger and wiser and sometimes not returning at all as their characters surge forward into unknown spaces.DiFrancesco's first novel All City (Seven Stories 2019) was praised by Publishers Weekly as a "loving, grieving warning [that] thoughtfully traces the resilience, fragility, and joy of precarious communities in an immediate, compassionate voice." All City was one of BookRiot's "Best Post-Apocalyptic Books of 2019," Entropy Mag's "Best of 2019," and Largehearted Boy's "Favorite Novels of 2019." It was a finalist for the 2019 Ohioana Book Award for Fiction.
Transnational and Postcolonial Vampires
by Tabish Khair Johan HöglundThroughout the ages, vampires have transgressed the borders of gender, race, class, propriety and nations. This collection examines the vampire as a postcolonial and transnational phenomenon that maps the fear of the Other, the ravenous hunger of Empires and the transcultural rifts and intercultural common grounds that make up global society today.
Transnational Horror Cinema
by Sophia Siddique Raphael RaphaelThis book broadens the frameworks by which horror is generally addressed. Rather than being constrained by psychoanalytical models of repression and castration, the volume embraces M. M. Bakhtin's theory of the grotesque body. For Bakhtin, the grotesque body is always a political body, one that exceeds the boundaries and borders that seek to contain it, to make it behave and conform. This vital theoretical intervention allows Transnational Horror Cinema to widen its scope to the social and cultural work of these global bodies of excess and the economy of their grotesque exchanges. With this in mind, the authors consider these bodies' potentials to explore and perhaps to explode rigid cultural scripts of embodiment, including gender, race, and ability.
The Trap
by Steven ArntsonIt's the summer of 1963, and something strange is afoot in the quiet town of Farro, Iowa. The school district's most notorious bully has gone missing without a trace, and furthermore, seventh grader Henry Nilsson and his friends have just found an odd book stashed in the woods by Longbelly Gulch--a moldy instruction guide written to teach the art of "subtle travel," a kind of out-of-body experience. The foursome will soon discover that out-of-body life isn't so subtle after all--there are some very real, and very dangerous, things happening out there in the woods. The science fiction inventiveness of Madeleine L'Engle meets the social commentary of Gary Schmidt in this thrilling tale of missing persons, first crushes, embarrassing pajamas, and thought-provoking dilemmas.
