A cidade das sombras
by Rafael EstradaHá quem não preste muita atenção as sombras, ao fim e ao cabo são só inofensivas silhuetas que os corpos projetam. Mas a avó de Elia não pensa da mesma maneira. Ela afirma que estão vivas e nos usam como escudos contra a luz em um desesperado ato de autoafirmação. Embora as ignoremos, não podemos prescindir delas. Vocês perguntarão se é possível que influenciem as pessoas. Pensando bem, porque estão aqui de forma intencional: perseguem-nos, nos rodeiam, se movem entre nós e observam tudo o que fazemos. Uma novela onde realidade e fantasia estão tão intimamente unidas que resulta quase impossível diferenciá-las.

Cimetière Noir Le lieu de la perdition
by Valeria De Luca Eric TriganceUne ford Mustang file dans la Black Street et se dirige vers Dark Myst. John Allen est sur le point de devenir un écrivain célèbre, il a remporté un concours littéraire grâce à son manuscrit intitulé "Cauchemars Noirs". Un contrat avec une maison d'édition l'attend à Dark Myst. Paroles de l'auteure : Black Cemetery est une nouvelle écrite pour un concours pour lequel il n'a pas été primé. Mais je percevais bien les potentialités de ce récit. Un cimetière très étrange dans une ville imaginaire, Dark Myst. Savoir que de nombreuses personnes l'estiment interessant grâce à son atmosphère à la Stephen King me rend vraiment heureuse. Stephen King est mon auteur préféré et être comparée à lui ne peut que me remplir de joie. Voici donc un récit plein de frissons, d'adrénaline et il me semble vraiment sentir le froid glacial de toutes ces tombes cachées dans ce cimetière au coeur des bois. Je vous conseille de lire ce récit... la nuit !

La Cinta de Bruja
by Historias Del AticoComo la mayoría de las malas ideas, todo había comenzado como una broma. Una observación impertinente que realmente debería haber sido aplastada a distancia como una mosca persistente o dejada para disolverse en la memoria como un borrón indistinto de las conversaciones del otro día. Debería haberlo sido, pero no lo fue. En cambio, la broma se convirtió en una idea, una idea que se convirtió en una sugerencia, y antes de que me diera cuenta, estaba acumulando masa como una bola de nieve rodando cuesta abajo, ganando velocidad y tamaño cuanto más se empujaba. En cuestión de minutos, la broma había crecido y se había transformado en un plan de acción en toda regla, para el que ya se estaban haciendo arreglos. Una vez que la pelota empieza a rodar así, siempre es difícil de detener. Las malas ideas tienen su propio impulso. Morefield era una ciudad tranquila, llena, desafortunadamente, de gente no tan tranquila. Las formas primarias de entretenimiento en este pequeño remanso rural, siendo ya sea chismes sobre otras las intrigas e indiscreciones de otras personas, o participar activamente en ellas por ti mismo para futuras discusiones con otros. Como un trío, Adrien, Dion y yo habíamos decidido hace mucho tiempo no participar en ninguno.

Manatees should laze and palm trees sway and snakes keep to their shady spots under the azalea thickets. The air shouldn't smell like a swamp. The stars should twinkle. Shelby should be her own hero, the first hero of Citrus County. She should rescue her sister from underground, rescue Toby from his life. Her destiny should be a hero's destiny.
