The Devil's Rosary: The Complete Tales Of Jules De Grandin, Volume Two (The\complete Tales Of Jules De Grandin Ser. #2)
by Seabury QuinnToday the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn. Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales's original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin's knack for solving mysteries-and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)-captivated readers for nearly three decades.

El Devorador
by Lorenza GhinelliNo le mires. No le busques. Corre o te devorará... Último fenómeno italiano. Comparado con Stephen King y Hitchcock. Como si de un cuentagotas se tratase, comienza la progresiva desaparición de varios niños en medio de extrañas circunstancias para las que la policía no encuentra explicación. Pietro es autista, ve el mundo con otros ojos y vive atrapado en la jaula de la incomunicación. Sin embargo, es el único que sabe que algo terriblemente maligno y brutal está ocurriendo. Con su admirable capacidad para el arte, comienza a hacer extraños dibujos sobre un anciano vestido de negro, el Hombre de los Sueños, a los que nadie da la suficiente importancia. Nadie excepto Alice, su psicoterapeuta, que descubre su vinculación con las desapariciones. Los dibujos le traen a Alice unos recuerdos infantiles que han permanecido ocultos en su memoria durante muchos años: la historia de Denny, uno de sus compañeros de colegio. Cuando Denny tenía siete años y un padre borracho y sufría malos tratos constantes en casa y en clase, se refugiaba en su imaginación. Pero ¿qué sucede cuando la imaginación de un niño es tan fuerte y desesperada que es capaz de dar a luz a un monstruo? Un monstruo tangible, que se alimenta de odio y resentimiento, un devorador de almas que nunca termina de saciarse. Esta primera novela de Lorenza Ghinelli es un thriller que muestra que las peores pesadillas pueden hacerse realidad y se adentra en los rincones más oscuros de la conciencia. Una terrorífica fábula negra sobre los traumas de la infancia y sobre cómo los sentimientos de venganza pueden minar el alma hasta hacerla desaparecer entre sus fauces. La crítica ha dicho:«Al igual que en las películas de Hitchcock, el lector se ve inmerso sin darse cuenta en unos remolinos de virtuosismo sin que ello menoscabe el desarrollo de la historia y el goce de la lectura. En pocas palabras, no devoren El Devorador, saboréenlo más bien. Descubrirán un intenso gusto y unos aromas ocultos. [...] Lenguaje perfecto, completamente libre de clichés. Absoluta efectividad estilística, un crescendo de suspense Una escritora en el verdadero sentido de la palabra, dotada de talento, técnica y vocación.»Valerio Evangelisti, autor de El cuerpo y la sangre de Eymerich «Una novela en la que se percibe el magisterio de Stephen King, la misma capacidad de encontrar el horror fantástico en las miserias y en los abusos de la infancia, y que, a pesar de todo, no imita y muestra una voz genuina, joven e italiana.»Il Riformista «La novela supera los cánones del género e impresiona, no solo por la historia, sino también por un estilo directo de escritura cinematográfica y, a la vez, de gran espesor literario.»Il Giornale «Sorprende que temas como la fobia social formen parte del bagaje cultural de escritores tan jóvenes.»L'Espresso «Un niño autista, un desaparecido y las pesadillas de la infancia.»Panorama

The Devourers: A Novel
by Indra DasFor readers of Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, China Miéville, and David Mitchell comes a striking debut novel by a storyteller of keen insight and captivating imagination. On a cool evening in Kolkata, India, beneath a full moon, as the whirling rhythms of traveling musicians fill the night, college professor Alok encounters a mysterious stranger with a bizarre confession and an extraordinary story. Tantalized by the man's unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger's behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins. From these documents spills the chronicle of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts, ruled by instincts and desires blood-deep and ages-old. The tale features a rough wanderer in seventeenth-century Mughal India who finds himself irrevocably drawn to a defiant woman--and destined to be torn asunder by two clashing worlds. With every passing chapter of beauty and brutality, Alok's interest in the stranger grows and evolves into something darker and more urgent. Shifting dreamlike between present and past with intoxicating language, visceral action, compelling characters, and stark emotion, The Devourers offers a reading experience quite unlike any other novel.

One moment its vision spans centuries and a thousand lives; the next you're transfixed by the sound of an insect in flight, or a jewel of blood dripping from an open wound."--Peter Watts, author of Blindsight"Like no other imaginary realm I've visited, the land of The Devourers shimmers with rapturously visceral details."--Nisi Shawl, James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award-winning author "Postmodern and historical, massive in scale and heartbreakingly intimate, fragmented and a powerful whole, it's so many marvelous things, all at once."--Carmen Maria Machado, Nebula and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated authorFrom the Hardcover edition.
