La Luz Nocturna: Cuidado con lo que deseas
by Alex ZuchiMi nombre es Antônio Pereira, pero todos me conocen como Arthur Black. Soy un escritor. He sido rico, influyente y codiciado, gracias a mis historias infantiles. He perdido casi todo, ya saben cómo es... lo que viene fácil, fácil se va... Ya que estoy abriendo mi corazón, debo confesar que mentí sobre mi libro más famoso. Aquel libro que se convirtió en un gran éxito en el cine. Siempre pensé que jamás hablarían sobre el asunto, pero yo estaba equivocado. Me contactó el hombre que conoce mi secreto y me hizo una oferta que no pude rechazar. Le prometí que escribiría un nuevo cuento infantil y que seguiría todas sus reglas. Comienzo a darme cuenta de que hay algo muy extraño en este lugar al que me trajo y en el que luego me dejó solo. Mis noches son atormentadas por situaciones que escapan a mi comprensión. ¿Alucinaciones? ¿Realidad? No sé decirlo. Hay puertas en este mundo que se abren en lugares desconocidos. Tal vez ellas son las responsables del surgimiento de las siluetas, las voces y la luz blanca e intensa que irrumpe desde la oscuridad del campo. Cada día que permanezco aquí, más nebulosa se vuelve mi percepción. La única certeza que tengo es que el libro que escribo todos los días se vuelve completamente diferente justo después de irme a dormir.

M (Devil's Advocates)
by Samm DeighanFritz Lang’s first sound feature, M (1931), is one of the earliest serial killer films in cinema history and laid the foundation for future horror movies and thrillers, particularly those with a disturbed killer as protagonist. Peter Lorre’s child killer, Hans Beckert, is presented as monstrous, yet sympathetic, building on themes presented in the earlier German Expressionist horror films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The Hands of Orlac. Lang eerily foreshadowed the rising fascist horrors in German society, and transforms his cinematic Berlin into a place of urban terror and paranoia. Samm Deighan explores the way Lang uses horror and thriller tropes in M, particularly in terms of how it functions as a bridge between German Expressionism and Hollywood’s growing fixation on sympathetic killers in the ‘40s. The book also examines how Lang made use of developments within in forensic science and the criminal justice system to portray a somewhat realistic serial killer on screen for the first time, at once capturing how society in the ‘30s and ‘40s viewed such individuals and their crimes and shaping how they would be portrayed on screen in the horror films to come.

The M.D.
by Thomas M. DischSTEPHEN KING PRAISES THE M.D. BY THOMAS M. DISCH ... The M.D. is simply one of the best novels of horror-fantasy I've ever read. Thomas Disch has been writing wonderful tales of imagination for years now-stories that sometimes amuse, sometimes sting, sometimes horrify, and sometimes manage to do all three at the same time-but The M.D. is surely his magnum opus. Although Disch uses the Frankenstein myth (and surely it has attained mythological status by this point) as a kind of echo chamber to make his story resonate, it is Dracula the novel most closely resembles on an emotional level. Like Dracula, The M.D. is the story of a great monster, a creature so awful that we can't help rooting for him. It also has the sweep of Dracula, and if Disch's novel is not as totally involving as Stoker's vampire tale, it may be because Disch has leavened the melodrama with a generous helping of black comedy. Still, don't be fooled: The M.D. attained maintains a level of morbid, jittery intensity that is quite remarkable. Oh, and one other thing: unlike most of the horror novels being churned out these days by the King wannabes, the Koontz wannabes, the Straub wannabes, and the Barker wannabes, The M.D. is a novel with a point. Disch understands that to really succeed as horror, a story must first succeed on the level of fundamental interest where the best fairy tales live. Put another way, a good horror novel must be about morality. The M.D. succeeds brilliantly as a morality tale-which means that it entertains us instead of preaching to us-and it says some marvellously insightful things along the way about business, religion, the family in suburbia , and the America we inherited in the wake of Vietnam. A thousand bravos to Thomas Disch, who has written a brilliantly entertaining novel. I hope it's a big fat #1 best-seller. P.S. The "kite scene" is going to be as infamous as the double amputation in Harry Bellaman's King's Row, I think. S. K.

The Mad Cook of Pymatuning
by Christopher Lehmann-HauptIn this chilling novel about a 1950s boys' summer camp gone awry, the former New York Times literary critic has created a brilliant coming-of-age story with undertones reminiscent of Lord of the Flies. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt's novel is at once a fantasy, a barbed portrait of boyhood in the dawning of the Eisenhower era, and a no-holds-barred story of terror of the sort that won him praise for his previous novel,A Crooked Man. Jerry Muller has been a regular at Camp Seneca for years. Now that he's a teenager and counselor, things don't seem quite right at his traditional summer haunt. As Jerry plunges into the mysteries around him, he finds himself growing up fast -- maybe too fast. He's attracted to T. J. , a pretty girl who might have a boyfriend but who flirts anyway, and he's shocked by the truth about his friend Oz, who's more interested in Jerry than in the likes of T. J. He sees something is strangely amiss with the husband and wife who own the camp. But above all, he's scared of the cruel game masterminded by Buck. Of Seneca ancestry, Buck is a sinister, bigger-than-life expert on Indian lore. He is also an organizer of scary games who may just possibly be a psychopath and a killer, and in whose hands the camp's make-believe, designed to scare the kids, becomes first a savage and brutal test of strength, then, by small steps, genuinely dangerous. As Jerry unravels the mysteries surrounding the ordinary-looking camp, he struggles to understand how "the Forbidden Woods," which have always been off-limits to campers as a kind of game and dare, have somehow become genuinely frightening -- all the more reason to discover the secrets that lie behind Camp Seneca's facade. The story reaches its climax in a shocking scene that neither Jerry nor the reader is likely to forget. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt's new novel is a wicked, suspenseful, and deeply original tale.
