Insomnia (Signet Fiction #Vol. 102)
by Stephen KingA #1 national bestseller—“A yarn so packed with suspense, romance, literary reference, fascinating miscellaneous knowledge, and heart that only Stephen King could have written it. Marvelous—that is, full of marvels” (Booklist).Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier, until he’s barely sleeping at all. During his late night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people’s heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep. There’s a definite mean streak running through this small New England city; underneath its ordinary surface awesome and terrifying forces are at work. The dying has been going on in Derry for a long, long time. Now Ralph is part of it…and lack of sleep is the least of his worries. Returning to the same Maine town where It took place, a town that has haunted Stephen King for decades, Insomnia blends King’s trademark bone-chilling realism with supernatural terror to create yet another masterpiece of suspense.

The New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box invites you into a world of secrets and chills in a coming-of-age story like no other.

J is one of only twenty-six students, all of whom think of the school’s enigmatic founder as their father. J’s peers are the only family he has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know—and all they are allowed to know. But J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he’s beginning to ask questions. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them? Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J’s, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other.Advance praise for Inspection “Inspection proves that Josh Malerman is a master magician of narrative form.

Read it and enjoy the discovery.”—Scott Hawkins, author of The Library at Mount Char “Engaging and suspenseful! Malerman creates a fiendish fairy tale of a world where boy was never meant to meet girl and the hell unleashed when they finally do.”—J. D. Barker, internationally bestselling author of The Fourth Monkey and Dracul

Insta Scare
by Historias Del Ático―Mi madre tuvo esta fiesta en Hawái y fue tan, tan increíble. ¿Viste mis publicaciones en Insta? ―Leila oyó a Joanne decir mientras caminaba por los pasillos. ―Uhmm, definitivamente lo vi, y estaba gritando a todo pulmón porque esas fotos eran tiernas ―respondió Esther. ―¿Revisaste la página de Grace? ―ella respondió―. Ellos visitaron Playa Venecia. ―¿Ellos? ¿Quiénes son ellos? ―Esther levantó una ceja―. ¿No puedes decir? ―¿Quién más? Ella y Jason. Había una foto en la que ella solo tenía un bikini y los abdominales de Jason eran fuego. A veces, me gustaría que Mac fuera más masculino ―dijo Joanne justo antes de cerrar la puerta de su casillero y caminar hacia la clase de Química. ―¡Urghhhhhhh! ¿Pueden estas personas pasar un día sin hablar de sus tontas fotos? ―Leila dijo en susurro con sus manos agarrando su mochila. Mientras caminaba por el pasillo, su casillero parecía estar más lejos con cada paso más cerca. Lentamente, las paredes comenzaron a cerrarse y los terrenos se abrieron. Leila no podía ver nada más que negro. La pintura púrpura ahora fría, negra, las baldosas iguales, la gente en el pasillo se transformó en extraterrestres pegajosos y negros y todo el pasillo formaba círculos en espiral. ―¡Leila! ―Stacy gritó y Leila salió fuera de su imaginación.
Insta-Spavento: Una breve storia spaventosa
by Storie Dalla Soffitta"Mia madre ha avuto questa festa alle Hawaii, ed è stata così, così incredibile. Hai visto i miei post su Instagram?” Leila sentì dire a Joanne mentre camminava attraverso i corridoi. “Ummm, certamente li ho visti, e stavo urlando in cima ai miei polmoni perché quelle immagini erano fantasticheeee " rispose Esther. "Hai guardato la pagina di Grace?” Rispose. "Loro hanno visitato Venice Beach” "Loro? Chi sono?” Esther alzò un sopracciglio. "Non vuoi dire?” "Chi altro? Lei e Jason. C'era questa foto in cui indossava solo un bikini e gli addominali di Jason erano infuocati. Qualche volta, vorrei che Mac fosse più maschile," Joanne ha detto appena prima che sbattesse la porta del suo armadietto e si diresse verso la classe di chimica. "Urghhhhhhh! Queste persone possono passare un giorno senza parlare delle loro stupide foto?” Leila disse sotto voce con le mani che stringevano il suo zaino. Mentre camminava attraverso il corridoio, il suo armadietto sembrava più lontano ad ogni passo più vicino. Lentamente, le mura cominciarono a chiudersi e il terreno si aprì. Leila non vedeva altro che nero. La vernice viola ora fredda, nera, le piastrelle uguali, le persone nella sala si sono trasformate in ossidiana, alieni appiccicosi e l'intero corridoio si è avvolto in cerchi. "Leila!” Stacy urlò e Leila uscì

Interdisciplinary Essays on Cannibalism: Bites Here and There (Warwick Series in the Humanities)
by Giulia ChampionInterdisciplinary Essays on Cannibalism: Bites Here and There brings together a range of works exploring the evolution of cannibalism, literally and metaphorically, diachronically and across disciplines. This edited collection aims to promote a conversation on the evolution and the different uses of the tropes and figures of cannibalism, in order to understand and deconstruct the fascination with anthropophagy, its continued afterlife and its relation to different disciplines and spaces of discourse. In order to do so, the contributing authors shed a new light not only on the concept, but also propose to explore cannibalism through new optics and theories. Spanning 15 chapters, the collection explores cannibalism across disciplines and fields from Antiquity to contemporary speculative fiction, considering history, anthropology, visual and film studies, philosophy, feminist theories, psychoanalysis and museum practices. This collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking scholarly contributions suggests the importance of cannibalism in understanding human history and social relations.
Interior Darkness: Selected Stories
by Peter StraubA MONUMENTAL COLLECTION OF SHORT FICTION FROM ACCLAIMED MASTER OF HORROR AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR PETER STRAUB“Peter Straub brilliantly defies and blurs literary genres.” —LORRIE MOORE An American icon renowned for his bestselling novels, Peter Straub displays his full and stunning range in this crowning collection. He has consistently subverted the boundaries of genre for years, transcending horror and suspense to unlock the dark, unsettling, and troubling dissonances that exist on the edges of our perception. Straub’s fiction cracks the foundation of reality and opens our eyes to an unblinking experience of true horror, told in his inimitable and lush style with skill, wit, and impeccable craft. With uncanny precision, Straub writes of the city and of the Midwest, of the depraved and of the righteous, of the working class and of the wealthy—nothing and no one is safe from the ever-present darkness that he understands so well. “Blue Rose” follows the cycles of violence and power through the most innocent among us, leading to a conclusion that is audacious and devastating. In the darkly satirical masterpiece “Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff,” a stern estate lawyer known as the Deacon hires a pair of “Private Detectives Extraordinaire” to investigate and seek revenge on his unfaithful wife. “The Ballad of Ballard and Sandrine” follows a man and his much younger lover as they explore their decadent and increasingly sinister fantasies aboard a luxurious yacht on the remotest stretch of the Amazon River. Interior Darkness brings together sixteen stories from twenty-five years of dazzling excellence. It is a thrilling, highly entertaining, and terrifying testament to the prodigious talent of Peter Straub.From the Hardcover edition.
