El Hada del Diente
by Roberto Carlos Pavón Carreón Johann HeyssEl Hada del diente cuenta la historia de André, un traductor carioca de treinta años involucrado con el ocultismo que comienza a hacer un tratamiento con Amalia María, pintoresca dentista que resulta ser una bruja. Para el mago aspirante a la mala suerte, ella descubre que él tiene algo que quiere - un libro legado por Alcydes, su maestro en lo oculto. Al ver que André se niega a vender el libro a pesar de sus generosas ofertas, Amalia se muestra dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa que una dentista bruja es capaz de hacer para lograr su propósito. Sin querer dar un valioso regalo y no tomando la situación muy en serio, André se da cuenta de que Amalia es mucho menos inocente de lo que parece, y repentinamente está envuelto en una batalla entre magos, brujas y ocultistas que termina por lo desconcertante. Con un lenguaje narrativo en vez mordaz y generoso y pródigo en sexo, drogas y acción, El Hada del Diente juega con las supersticiones que la gente llama magia, y al mismo tiempo aumenta la posibilidad de que la magia exista, sí - sólo no en el sentido de que estamos acostumbrados a entenderlo. Este es el primer volumen de las historias de la serie de Magia, dedicado a los cuentos de "magia con K", es decir, la magia contemporánea, de cara al siglo 21, libre de tabúes. Cada volumen es una inmersión en lo inesperado.
Hades, Argentina
by Daniel LoedelRegada de profundas preguntas sobre las elecciones a veces imposibles que hacemos en nombre del amor, Hades, Argentina es un debut literario apasionante, lleno de misterio e ingeniosamente narrado. Una década después de exiliarse por su supervivencia, un hombre regresa a la argentina arrastrado por un amor que se resiste a morir. Buenos Aires, 1976. Tomás Orilla, joven estudiante de medicina, se reencuentra con el amor de su infancia. Para su sorpresa, ya no distingue en Isabel a la chica que lo encandiló tiempo atrás: hoy es una mujer profundamente comprometida en su lucha política. Tomás está dispuesto a correr cualquier riesgo con tal de demostrarle que sus sentimientos por ella siguen vivos y son incondicionales. Aunque el costo sea alto. Pasarán unos cuantos años hasta que una citación obligue a Tomás, que ahora se hace llamar Thomas Shore, a volver a su país desde Nueva York. Lo que le espera no es un regreso al hogar sino una auténtica odisea, un viaje por el pasado, un encuentro con los fantasmas de aquellos a los que dejó atrás y un ajuste de cuentas entre aquel en quien se ha convertido y el que alguna vez aspiró a ser. Debut literario ingenioso y atrapante, Daniel Loedel ha sembrado en este relato profundos interrogantes sobre las elecciones, a veces imposibles, que hacemos en nombre de una pasión. Un tour de force emocional en el que se entreveran y confunden vida política y pulsión sentimental. Un descenso a los infiernos de la obsesión amorosa. La crítica dijo... «Esta inquietante novela entreteje la traición y el sacrificio de forma tan intrincada que uno no puede separarse del otro».The New Yorker «Poderosa. La simple delicadeza de la prosa de Loedel se adapta no solo al horror de su tema, sino también a la premisa arriesgada de su novela. El infierno es a la vez metáfora y escenario, presunción literaria y realidad emocional. La estancia de Tomás allí es un tributo conmovedor a la hermana del autor y a sus compañeras y también víctimas».The Economist «Una novela asombrosamente poderosa sobre la naturaleza compleja de la culpa. Enfrenta lo personal a lo político con verdadera precisión emocional y aguda habilidad narrativa».Colm Tóibín

The Hair Wreath: And Other Stories
by Halli Villegas“A modern twist on urban ghost stories, weaving the idea of dark spiritual encounters with modern lifestyles always getting in the way” (Broken Pencil). Girls and boys disappear; couples caught in the heat and suppressed rage of urban life are haunted by the ghosts of their own making; neighborhoods drift in the murky atmosphere of buried emotions, where the echoes of distrust and dissonance prove something just isn’t right. These strange stories come together, weaving themselves into a wreath of memories, rife with an atmospheric and ominous creep redolent of Shirley Jackson. This eerie collection illustrates the disconnect among people and the places they inhabit, the gap that allows the supernatural to flourish. “Ghosts and other mysterious forces intrude on the characters in the new collection of dark fiction from Toronto-based writer Halli Villegas. . . . On the whole, this collection proves that the most effective ghost stories are the ones that leave you with more than just questions.” —Quill & Quire “Villegas’s debut collection offers 19 tales that nicely blend ordinary characters with sudden and unexplained supernatural threats . . . Fans of creepy, nongory horror will appreciate this collection.” —Publishers Weekly “If you are a fan of horror based urban fantasy, horror in general, or just love reading beautiful hauntingly creepy stories give this book a try.” —Hidden in Pages
