Death's Door (The Special X Thrillers)
by Michael Slade&“A Grade A thriller . . . twisted, near-omnipotent villains, brutal violence, sharp plot twists, solid (and enthralling) historical research.&” —The Vancouver Sun Canadian Mountie Robert DeClercq and his Special X team are facing down a stolen mummy with a trail of corpses in its wake. The question is: Is this the work of one killer? Or is it some sort of diabolical conspiracy? DeClercq&’s investigation leads him to a local porn king who specializes in snuff videos and a fresh trail of mutilated female bodies being dumped around the Gulf Islands. But just when DeClercq narrows in on the criminality behind these abominable murders, an old enemy returns. Not only is Mephisto determined to destroy DeClercq once and for all, but this megalomaniac won&’t stop until he puts all of humanity at the brink of Death&’s Door. . . . &“There are psycho thrillers and there are psycho thrillers, and the ones to watch are those by Michael Slade. This high-powered mystery stars a psycho so heinous that you might want to take a deep breath before starting this baffling case. [Death&’s Door is] a story to be read with caution.&” —Ottawa Citizen &“There isn&’t a precedent for the barbaric brilliance of a Slade novel. With its well-researched, candid ventures into the most deranged of sick psyches, Death&’s Door is a witches&’ brew of intense intellectualism, police procedure, and white-knuckle, wince-inducing gore.&” —Rue Morgue &“Slade has finely honed his skills . . . You&’ll be up all night reading it and, before you finally sleep, you&’ll check under the bed.&” —The Vancouver Sun

Deberías haberte ido
by Daniel KehlmannDaniel Kehlmann, finalista del Premio Booker Internacional en 2020 con su novela Tyll, firma un inquietante thriller psicológico que narra el colapso de un escritor atrapado en un juego de espejos escalofriante. «Daniel Kehlmann hace que nuestra propia cabeza se convierta en una casa encantada y da un giro completo a la literatura de terror». Die Welt Un guionista en plena crisis creativa y conyugal acaba de llegar —acompañado de su mujer y de su hija— a una flamante casa de montaña. Es diciembre. El frío blancoazulado de los glaciares, los bosques ocultos por una espesa bruma, el fluir de un río y un profundo y silencioso valle prometen, al fin, un nuevo comienzo. Una nueva oportunidad para finalizar un guion que se le resiste y para intentar reconciliarse con su mujer. Sin embargo, algo pasa en la casa. Poco a poco los contornos de la realidad comienzan a difuminarse y lo que parecía una escapada idílica se convierte en una inquietante espiral de comportamientos disfuncionales. Deberías haberte ido es una lectura sobrecogedora. Un relato claustrofóbico donde la realidad se tiñe de surrealismo y el terror no se presenta con sobresaltos, sino como un siniestro sueño cuyas piezas no acaban de encajar. La crítica ha dicho:«Pocas veces Kehlmann ha diseñado un laberinto de realidad tan sofisticado, ha adentrado tanto al lector en la espesura de la duda. [...] Su audaz fantasía no solo se apoya en un lenguaje cristalino, tranquilo y nunca impostado, sino también en un profundo conocimiento de la naturaleza humana y de la sociedad actual.»Die Zeit«Esta alucinante novela sobre un escritor que pierde la cordura contiene imágenes alarmantes que permanecen en la retina. Kehlmann logra algunas florituras oscuramente cómicas, provocativas, potentes, agradablemente inquietantes».John Williams, The New York Times «Un ejercicio de terror construido de forma hermosa. Kehlmann crea una sensación de miedo existencial que trasciende a cualquier historia de fantasmas. Un libro que te mantiene despierto toda la noche».Kirkus Reviews «Una clase magistral de estilo sobrio, prosa meticulosamente atenta y agilidad imaginativa. Kehlmann crea complejidad narrativa con los trazos más hábiles».The Literary Review «Un libro que debería llevar una advertencia sanitaria: leer a solas bajo su propio riesgo».Monocle«Un experimento magistral sobre los límites del realismo literario».The Brooklyn Rail «Kehlmann usa con habilidad elementos básicos del terror y ofrece una mirada sobre la distinción entre el arte y la vida».Publishers Weekly«Mi novelista alemán favorito».Ian McEwan «Kehlmann es uno de los más brillantes escritores en activo».Jeffrey Eugenides

by Nick CutterFrom the acclaimed author of The Troop—a book that is &“utterly terrifying&” (Clive Barker). &“Fans of unflinching bleakness and all-out horror will love this novel….Each new shock is freshly disturbing&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).A strange plague called the ‘Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget—small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure. But far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a universal healer hailed as “ambrosia” has been discovered. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.

Between mysterious disappearances and sudden deaths, the guests of the Titanic have found themselves suspended in an eerie, unsettling twilight zone from the moment they set sail.

But before they can locate the source of the danger, as the world knows, disaster strikes.Years later, Annie, having survived that fateful night, has attempted to put her life back together. Working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, newly refitted as a hospital ship, she happens across an unconscious Mark, now a soldier fighting in World War I.

Brilliantly combining the supernatural with the height of historical disaster, The Deep is an exploration of love and destiny, desire and innocence, and, above all, a quest to understand how our choices can lead us inexorably toward our doom.
