Florida Gothic: (in lingua italiana) (The\gothic Ser.)
by Mitzi SzeretoUn pirata della strada lascia Ernesto Martinez a morire accanto a un canale di Miami. Poi un alligatore arriva a finire il lavoro. Essere morto lascia a Ernesto parecchio tempo per pensare. Pensa a sua moglie, portatagli via troppo presto da una malattia. Pensa a sua figlia, vittima di un automobilista ubriaco. Pensa alla sua morte mentre guarda il suo corpo decomporsi lentamente. Soprattutto, pensa all’ingiustizia. Il tossico ex galeotto che vive nelle Everglades. Il giudice che si gode la pensione sulla Gulf Coast. Il figlio di un signore della droga colombiano che se la spassa a South Beach. A questi uomini non importa nulla del dolore che hanno causato. Ma presto scopriranno come sia provare dolore. Ambientato nell’oppressivo scenario infestato dagli insetti del sud della Florida, Florida Gothic tesse una storia cupa, snervante e viscerale di sesso, droga, crimine e vendetta.

Solido, scivoloso divertimento dagli occhi da insetto.” — Peter Straub, Interior Darkness: Selected Stories

The Fold
by Peter ClinesSTEP INTO THE FOLD.IT'S PERFECTLY SAFE. The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve: far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to "fold" dimensions, it shrinks distances so that a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step. The invention promises to make mankind's dreams of teleportation a reality. And, the scientists insist, traveling through the Door is completely safe. Yet evidence is mounting that this miraculous machine isn't quite what it seems--and that its creators are harboring a dangerous secret. As his investigations draw him deeper into the puzzle, Mike begins to fear there's only one answer that makes sense. And if he's right, it may only be a matter of time before the project destroys...everything. A cunningly inventive mystery featuring a hero worthy of Sherlock Holmes and a terrifying final twist you'll never see coming, The Fold is that rarest of things: a genuinely page-turning science-fiction thriller. Step inside its pages and learn why author Peter Clines has already won legions of loyal fans.

by Richard M. Dorson&“The most satisfactory general collection of folktales to come out of England since the advent of modern collection and classification techniques.&”—Journal of American Folklore Tales of unnatural beings, curses, and ghosts, tall tales, shaggy dog stories—this collection from a renowned British folklorist offers a wide historical range, as well as commentaries. If wonder tales are not as abundant in England as elsewhere, other kinds of folktales thrive: local traditions, historical legends, humorous anecdotes. Many of the favorite tales which English-speaking peoples carry with them from childhood come from a long tradition—stories as familiar to Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Spenser, and their many contemporaries as they are to us. This volume is a &“fine, homely feast&” for anyone interested in the folklore of the world (Times Educational Supplement). &“Should be of special concern to Americans since many of the tales are parallel to or the source of our own folk stories.&”—Choice &“This is entertainment, to be sure, but is also part of man&’s attempts to comprehend his world.&”—Quartet
