Le jeu de vent

Myriam, une jeune fille qui entre dans l’adolescence, aura l’occasion de le découvrir lors d’une nuit complètement noire et consacrée à l’événement “Le Jour de la Nuit”. Les mouvements du chat, les odeurs des plantes et le son d’un jeu de vent la poussent à entrer, mais Myriam devra puiser en elle le courage de franchir le vieux portail rouillé de la maison.

Le père Salas
by Enrique Laso Carole SalasLe personnage le plus charismatique du roman DEPUIS L'ENFER, le best-seller qui a captivé des milliers de lecteurs du monde entier, adapté au cinéma par Luis Endera. Dans cette espèce de spin-off, nous découvrirons ce qui a poussé le père Salas à s'enfuir du Mexique pour se réfugier à Madrid. Nous connaîtrons le cas terrifiant de possessions multiples de plusieurs fillettes dans des villages des alentours de Guadalajara (Mexique). Un roman chargé d'émotion, de tension et de beaucoup de terreur, qui fascinera les amateurs du genre. __________________ Extrait de l'ouvrage : La fillette avait passé toute la nuit à gémir. Elle émettait pratiquement une sorte de ronflement guttural, sorti des entrailles d'un animal, plutôt que du corps décharné, presque famélique, d'une enfant âgée d'à peine dix ans. Elle gisait recroquevillée sur elle-même dans une litière faite de bottes de paille inégalement distribuée. Ses parents, par désespoir plutôt que par ressentiment ou crainte, l'avaient confinée dans une cabane utilisée pour protéger de la pluie les outils de travail et quelques propriétés de faible valeur qu'ils avaient héritées de divers membres de la famille aux cours des années. Le médecin s'approcha avec appréhension de la petite, qui semblait dormir, bien que sa respiration fût marquée de secousses constantes, impropres à un être humain. - Ca fait combien de jours qu'elle est plongée dans cet état de prostration ? - Une... une semaine... osa répondre la mère, convaincue de recevoir immédiatement un reproche de la part du médecin. Le docteur lança un soupir de résignation et, prenant la main de l'enfant, essaya de lui prendre le pouls. Un frisson intense lui traversa le corps lorsqu'il se rendit compte que le cœur de l'enfant battait à peine... un peu plus de 20 pulsations par m
