El talisman (Grandes Exitos Ser. #Vol. 1052)
by Stephen King | Peter StraubHace veinte años, dos gigantes del terror (calificarlos de monstruos sería demasiado fácil) unieron sus fuerzas para escribir una pesadilla juvenil, una historia de mundos paralelos, peligros adultos y enfrentamientos mágicos que marcarán el destino futuro del joven. Vamos, como la vida misma. El talismán presenta en parte las mejores virtudes de ambos autores, Stephen King Y Peter Straub, Por un lado el uso, que aparece en ambos autores, de elementos banales acrecentados mágicamente para inquietar, las referencias a la cultura popular americana o la descripción de personajes y paisajes que ambos usan de manera parecida. Por otro lado, ya específicamente, King aporta al libro el ambiente fantástico que aparece en su propia serie de La Torre Oscura mientras Straub parece (aunque es difícil saber quién hace qué en este libro) aportar una sutil ironía, un poco más refinada que la habitual en King, sobre cómo contar una historia de este tipo cuando los personajes son conscientes de que forman parte de un tipo de historia determinado.

Talulla Rising
by Glen DuncanWhen I change I change fast. The moon drags the whatever-it-is up from the earth and it goes through me with crazy wriggling impatience . . . I'm twisted, torn, churned, throttled--then rushed through a blind chicane into ludicrous power . . . A heel settles. A last canine hurries through. A shoulder blade pops. The woman is a werewolf. The woman is Talulla Demetriou. She's grieving for her werewolf lover, Jake, whose violent death has left her alone with her own sublime monstrousness. On the run, pursued by the hunters of WOCOP (World Organisation for the Control of Occult Phenomena), she must find a place to give birth to Jake's child in secret. The birth, under a full moon at a remote Alaska lodge, leaves Talulla ravaged, but with her infant son in her arms she believes the worst is over--until the windows crash in, and she discovers that the worst has only just begun . . . What follows throws Talulla into a race against time to save both herself and her child as she faces down the new, psychotic leader of WOCOP, a cabal of blood-drinking religious fanatics, and (rumor has it) the oldest living vampire. Harnessing the same audacious imagination and dark humor, the same depths of horror and sympathy, the same full-tilt narrative energy with which he crafted his acclaimed novel The Last Werewolf, Glen Duncan now gives us a heroine like no other, the definitive twenty-first-century female of the species.

The Tangle
by Justin Robertson'A writer of fierce and vivid imagination. The Tangle, like Holdstock's classic Mythago Wood and Catlin's The Voorh, taps the deep resonances of the wild wood in the English soul, revering even the stones as living minds, possessed of souls and ancient memories. Visceral stuff from this promising new star of dark fantasy' Michael MoorcockJustin Robertson's debut novel is a trans- dimensional trip into the mysterious knot of nature; a journey into the 'brilliant darkness' where the timeless divine spirit of the 'Tangle' weaves its spell and all mankind's hubris is rendered insignificant by the radically non-human force of phantom ecology. Salvation, revelation and a terrible reckoning dwell in the ancient roots ...A time travelling account of what occurs when unknowable frontiers are breached and humanity finds itself, once again, lost in the woods, THE TANGLE invites us into a grotesque world of eco-horror, echoing with the spirit of writers such as Saki, Ballard, M R James, Ursula Le Guin, Brian Catling and Thomas Ligotti.
