The atheist's temporary home is close to the site. And his young wife is becoming conspicuously agitated. Is it the fear of discovery--or the kind of fear that she, of all people, could never disclose? One thing is clear: the last person who's going to be welcome in that house is an exorcist.With the flood water washing up Church Lane towards the vicarage and the shop running out of cigarettes it looks like a cold and complex Christmas for Merrily Watkins in an ancient community forced to untangle its own history against the swirling uncertainty of the future.

Todo oscuro, sin estrellas
by Stephen KingCuatro venganzas. Cuatro castigos. Cuatro novelas cortas sumamente sorprendentes y enormemente impactantes. No las podrás olvidar. «Creo que existe otro hombre dentro de cada hombre, un extraño...» son palabras de la confesión que escribe Wilfred Leland James en «1922», el primer relato de este cuarteto hipnotizador y profundamente oscuro.

Sus palabras le empujan hacia el asesinato y la locura.

Violada y abandonada tras ser dada por muerta, Tess planea su venganza y para llevarla a cabo tendrá que sacar de sí misma un lado totalmente desconocido. «Una extensión justa», el relato más corto, es el más malvado y el más divertido. Harry Streeter hace un pacto con el diablo, quien le quitará no solamente su cáncer mortal, sino también todos los rencores que había sentido en su vida. Y finalmente, en «Un buen matrimonio» conocemos a Darcy Anderson quien, un día en que su marido está fuera por trabajo, va a buscar pilas al garaje y descubre una caja que él tenía allí escondida.

Pero no todo son hechos reales, en la sede de la clínica psiquiátrica donde el doctor Pons empieza a trabajar hay situaciones que no se pueden explicar en términos realistas: casos de violencia exagerada son asumidos como habituales, apenas hay información sobre los pacientes internados y sobre los propietarios de la clínica, ¿qué significan esas extrañas inscripciones de la Divina Comedia en las paredes de la vieja casona de Tigre? "¿De veras cree que el mal no existe? Porque uno mira en derredor y ve cada cosa, a cierta gente... y siente que conoce al mal cara a cara." Tomás Pons es un psiquiatra histriónico y popular entre sus compañeros del Hospital Alvear. Estamos en el año 2001 y el clima enrarecido de la ciudad de Buenos Aires hace mella en él.

La clínica es una casona antigua, bien cuidada y rodeada de naturaleza exuberante. Los pacientes deambulan por el jardín y parece reinar la armonía, una calma sobrenatural. De a poco, Pons comienza a percibir extraños movimientos y presencia situaciones extremas que se resuelven con violencia inusitada. También descubre inscripciones en las paredes, textuales de la Divina Comedia. Las preguntas se le acumulan. ¿Quiénes son los verdaderos dueños de la clínica? ¿Por qué retacean la información sobre los pacientes? ¿Cuál es el rol de la bella Sophía, quien parece conocer todos los secretos de la institución? Con una trama diabólica, la nueva novela de Marcelo Figueras es una fascinante aventura literaria que borra los límites entre la realidad y la fantasía.

Tok: Magick Tale
by Pablo Reig MendozaLondon, 1888. Kabbalists, wizards, and occultists are booming. The roman number MDCCCLXXXVIII contains thirteen numerals for the first time. It's a year of opportunity for the Bond servants in the millenary secret war between adepts of the old religion and the Vatican Curia. From Buckingham palace's lavish halls, old queen Victoria and her young Hindi lover -The Munshi- are filling the blanks of a plan that will bring Magick back to the place where it belongs: public light. Scotland Yard is overwhelmed by the ripper's crimes in Whitechapel, and socialism starts taking form, fueled by the 'bloody Sunday' aftermath. Meanwhile, Mabel, Gerard, and young Gandhi are ready for initiation. Gerard Duprey will soon become the city's wizard, and he is the master key of the plot that the hidden powers had long ago foreseen for the consolidation of the British Empire. Gerard, like Gandhi, is meant to become a peacemaker. His gift is the power to control any kind of conflict. For such purpose, he counts on Mabel Besant and Tok, the dragon of justice. Tok is not a mythological being. He is quite real and very pneumatic -in the greek sense of the term. This dragon, all scales and bones, is the ominous keeper of the Bond and manages his own deep and inscrutable agenda. The magnetic creature will give full support to Gerard's quest through a conflicted XXth century under the Munshi's rule to understand what has happened with gold, for every single ounce of gold has mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth.

Born in Fukushima in 1933, the same year as the Japanese Emperor, his life is tied by a series of coincidences to the Imperial family and has been shaped at every turn by modern Japanese history. But his life story is also marked by bad luck, and now, in death, he is unable to rest, doomed to haunt the park near Ueno Station in Tokyo. Kazu's life in the city began and ended in that park; he arrived there to work as a laborer in the preparations for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and ended his days living in the vast homeless village in the park, traumatized by the destruction of the 2011 tsunami and shattered by the announcement of the 2020 Olympics.Through Kazu's eyes, we see daily life in Tokyo buzz around him and learn the intimate details of his personal story, how loss and society's inequalities and constrictions spiraled towards this ghostly fate, with moments of beauty and grace just out of reach.
