Human Monsters
by Gregory LambersonThe epic conclusion of The Jake Helman Files! For two years, private investigator Jake Helman has battled powerful supernatural forces at great physical and emotional cost to himself. He’s stopped a serial killer who collected the souls of his victims, destroyed a mutant octopus god, battled zonbies on a Caribbean island, and stood toe to toe with angels and demons. If Jake has learned one thing, it’s that he can’t run from his past. New York City lies in ruins in the wake of Jake’s battle with Lilith, the storm demon. Jake wants nothing more than to lead a normal life with NYPD detective Maria Vasquez, but that is not yet possible: one of his closest allies has betrayed him, and he must locate her before she uses his secret files to unleash unholy hell on earth. In his most pulse-pounding life-or-death adventure yet, Jake tackles adversaries who have aligned to destroy him. He must solve a mystery, destroy a hive of monsters, and confront the most diabolical minds he has ever encountered-to save his own soul.
Human-Shaped Fiends (Splatter Western)
by Chandler MorrisonLOS ANGELES, 1854. Felipe Alvitre and a band of teenage outlaws set out on a brutal, seemingly random killing spree across the San Gabriel Valley, ignighting the ire of the Los Angeles citizens. Sheriff James Barton wrestles with a rapidly escalating crime rate and a populace that demands more from their corrupt, do-nothing legal system as the bodies continue to pile up. The crimes of the young Alvitre gang become symbolic of a greater frustration, and the sheriff faces mounting pressure to bring the outlaws to justice. His greatest battle, however, comes from within, and his responsibilities soon play second fiddle to his struggles with addiction and his toxic, unrequited love for a mysterious prostitute.LOS ANGELES, 2021. Self-obsessed, pretentious, womanizing novelist Chandler Morrison has been contracted to write a Western. He knows what kind of book his fans want, but he's torn between his commitment to the craft and the "brand" to which he believes he is expected to adhere. As he sinks deeper into deluded self-importance while juggling a number of surface-level relationships, the line separating fiction from reality becomes increasingly blurred.

Humo y espejos
by Neil GaimanEn las manos maestras de Neil Gaiman, la magia es mucho más que un mero juego de engaños... Una recopilación de treinta relatos, poemas narrativos y piezas breves componen esta maravillosa novela de fantasía e ilusiones. La destreza y el poder de invención de este gran fabulador transforman el entorno cotidiano en un mundo hechizado por sucesos sombríos y extraños, en el que una anciana puede comprar el Santo Grial en una tienda de segunda mano, unos asesinos se anuncian en los clasificados de un periódico bajo la rúbrica «CONTROL DE PLAGAS», o un muchacho asustado debe negociar con un trol malcarado y mezquino que vive bajo un puente ferroviario. Esta recopilación de treinta relatos, poemas narrativos y piezas breves e inclasificables ofrece múltiples y variadas posibilidades para que el lector explore una realidad transformada, astutamente velada por el humo y las sombras, a la vez que tangible y afilada. Todo parece posible en el universo de Gaiman, el gran maestro prestidigitador que despierta los sentidos, cautiva los sueños y mantiene en vilo nuestra mente. Reseñas:«Antiguas leyendas a las que ha dado un vuelco ingenioso se combinan con espeluznantes atisbos de lo imposible, para formar esta impresionante colección de relatos y poemas.»Publishers Weekly «Gaiman es una mina de historias. Debemos sentirnos afortunados, escriba en el género que escriba.»Stephen King «Soberbio, [...] evocador [...] y a menudo ingenioso y perversamente divertido. En el mundo de Gaiman, nuestros sueños más sencillos son, en realidad, nuestras elucubraciones más complejas.»Richmond Times-Dispatch «Gaiman es capaz de helarnos la sangre o hacer que soltemos una carcajada.»Minneapolis Star Tribune «Neil Gaiman escribe en tantos estilos y combinaciones de estilos quees difícil clasificar su obra con una sola palabra. Unos la consideran "fantasy", otros "terror", otros "ciencia ficción" o "ficción especulativa". Gaiman escribe igual de bien en cada uno de estos géneros. [...] Una cosa sí puede afirmarse sin lugar a dudas: en plena forma, Gaiman es magnífico.»Baltimore Sun «Gaiman es un contador de historias visionario [...] en muchos aspectos, un contador de historias de otra época, no sólo esa voz implacable que nos habla con un susurro sobre los horrores que hay más allá del círculo de luz de la hoguera. También es un escritor desesperadamente pasado de moda, capaz de crear narraciones breves trepidantes, cautivadoras, que logran satisfacer al lector, algo cada vez más raro fuera de la narrativa de género.»Toronto Star «Una caja de bombones para los amantes de la fantasía oscura.»Booklist
