Thrust into the role of protector, a position once reserved for those he&’d lost years ago, the out-of-practice &“Artificer&” is forced to confront his painful past while facing an unstoppable monster hell-bent on destruction. Janzen must keep one step ahead of the beast as he journeys through Cleveland&’s magical underbelly to uncover why it&’s been brought to our world.

Bocadillo de medianoche
by Terry M. WestVolvió a ver por la ventana. Una joven lo miraba fijamente. Parecía tener unos diez años, ciertamente no podía ser mayor que eso. Su rostro era pálido y sus ojos ojerosos. Calvin saludó y sonrió. Ella se sentó allí, frente a Calvin pero sin devolverle el saludo. Dejó la sonrisa de lado y se volteó. Sus ojos, sin embargo, nuevamente volvieron a mirar a la chica. Ella continuaba mirándolo. Sus ojos ocultaban toda intención. Estaba quieta como estatua. Calvin dejó de mirar a la niña y disimuló. La chica lo estaba asustando y él no podía adaptarse al extraño ambiente que causaba aquella pequeña espectadora. Incluso con comida y un guía para salir de la situación que se aproximaba, Calvin se estremeció de miedo. Pensó en la esposa de Lot, pero de todos modos volvió a mirar. Su cabeza se movió como si movieran dedos invisibles movieran su mentón. La niña ya no estaba sola en su vigilia. Calvin tenía una audiencia macabra ahora, una docena o más de ojos lo observaban a través de la ventana. Calvin notó que en su entrada un extraño montón de adolescentes se cernía sobre la sombría niña. Sus inexpresivos y grises rostros lo observaban en silencio. Brillaban con la luz fluorescente. La multitud parecía el reflejo de una turba. Carecían de color, eran fantasmas atrapados entre la carne fría y sin sangre. Era demasiado para Calvin. El deseo de huir lo abrumó. Ya era hora de despedirse de esa locura.

Body Genre: Anatomy of the Horror Film (Horror and Monstrosity Studies Series)
by David Scott DiffrientIn this groundbreaking work, author David Scott Diffrient explores largely understudied facets of cinematic horror, from the various odors permeating classic and contemporary films to the wetness, sliminess, and stickiness of these productions, which, he argues, practically scream out for a tactile mode of textural analysis as much as they call for more traditional forms of textual analysis. Dating back to Carol Clover’s and Linda Williams’s pioneering work on horror cinema, film scholars have long conceptualized this once-disreputable category of cultural production as a “body genre.” However, despite the growing recognition that horror serves important biological and social functions in our lives, scholars have only scratched the surface of this genre with regard to its affective, corporeal, and sensorial appeals.Diffrient anatomizes horror films in much the same way that a mad scientist might handle the body, separating and recombining constitutive parts into a new analytical whole. Further, he challenges the tendency of scholars to privilege human over nonhuman beings and calls into question ableist assumptions about the centrality to horror films of sight and sound to the near exclusion of other forms of sense experience. In addition to examining the role that animals—living or dead, real or fake—play in human-centered fictions, this volume asks what it means for audiences to consume motion pictures in which actors, stunt performers, and other creative personnel have put their own bodies and lives at risk for our amusement. Historically grounded and theoretically expansive, Body Genre: Anatomy of the Horror Film moves the study of cinematic horror into previously unchartered waters and breathes life into a subject that, not coincidentally, is intimately connected to breathing as our most cherished dividing line between life and death.
