In writing for True Lies Magazine, guilt-ridden Amy takes on the abilities her fictional characters confess to, such as the time she thought she was psychic after researching clairvoyants.

Diary of a Dead Man on Leave
by David DowningFrom bestselling author David Downing, master of historical espionage, comes a heart-wrenching depiction of Germany in the days leading up to World War II and the difficult choices of one man of conviction. In April 1938, a man calling himself Josef Hofmann arrives at a boarding house in Hamm, Germany, and lets a room from the widow who owns it. Fifty years later, Walter Gersdorff, the widow’s son, who was eleven years old in the spring of 1938, discovers the carefully hidden diary the boarder had kept during his stay, even though he never should have written any of its contents down. What Walter finds is a chronicle of one the most tumultuous years in German history, narrated by a secret agent on a deadly mission. Josef Hofmann was not the returned Argentinian immigrant he’d said he was—he was a communist spy under Moscow’s command trying to reconnect with remaining members of Germany’s suppressed communist party. Hofmann’s bosses believe the common workers are the only way to stop the German war machine from within. Posing as a railroad man, Hofmann sets out on his game of “Russian roulette,” approaching Hamm’s ex-party members one at a time and delicately feeling out their allegiances. He always knew his mission would most likely end in his death, and he was satisfied to make that sacrifice for the revolution if it could help stop Hitler and his abominable ideology. But as he grows close to the Gersdorffs, accidentally stepping into the role of the father Walter never had, Hofmann begins to wish for another kind of hope in his life.
Diary of a Haunting
by M. VeranoIn the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, an American teen recounts the strange events that occur after she moves into a new--and very haunted--home with her family in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced.Letters, photographs, and a journal...all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. Following her parents' high-profile divorce, Paige and her brother are forced to move to Idaho with their mother, and Paige doesn't have very high hopes for her new life. The small town they've moved to is nothing compared to the life she left behind in LA. And the situation is made even worse by the drafty old mansion they've rented that's filled with spiders and plenty of other pests that Paige can't even bear to imagine. Pretty soon, strange things start to happen around the house--one can of ravioli becomes a dozen, unreadable words start appearing on the walls, and Paige's little brother begins roaming the house late at night. And there's something not right about the downstairs neighbor who seems to know a lot more than he's letting on. Things only get creepier when she learns about the cult that conducted experimental rituals in the house almost one hundred years earlier. The more Paige investigates, the clearer it all becomes: there's something in the house, and whatever it is...and it won't be backing down without a fight.
Diary of a Murderer: And Other Stories
by Young-ha KimThis collection from the acclaimed South Korean author is “filled with the kind of sublime, galvanizing stories that strike like a lightning bolt” (Nylon). Diary of a Murderer captivates and provokes in equal measure, exploring what it means to be on the edge—between life and death, good and evil. In the titular novella, a former serial killer suffering from memory loss sets his sights on one final target: his daughter’s boyfriend, who he suspects is also a serial killer. In other stories we witness an affair between two childhood friends that questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family’s disintegration after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and a wild, erotic ride about pursuing creativity at the expense of everything else. From “one of South Korea’s best and most worldly writers” (NPR), Diary of a Murderer is a chillingly entertaining ride. “Kim is expert at finding the humanity inside the other, the comedy inside the tragedy, and the twisted within the seemingly normal.” —CrimeReads

Diccionario apasionado de la novela negra
by Pierre LemaitreUna visión completa, absolutamente personal y muy divertida del género negro, por uno de los escritores europeos más prestigiosos y populares. Se la llame negra o policiaca, y se la califique o no «literatura de género» --como si no fuera literatura sin más--, la novela criminal tiene súbditos, reyes, reinas (supuestos o no), capillas, polémicas, egos... pero, sobre todo, novelas que atrapan, impactan, sobrecogen y marcan tanto mentes como épocas. Incondicional de los libros, las películas y las series que describen --o denuncian-- la (mala) marcha del mundo, Pierre Lemaitre, con la libertad, el compromiso y la vivacidad que lo caracterizan, dibuja un panorama internacional personal y divertido, cual biblia erudita, ecléctica y festiva de la novela negra. La crítica ha dicho...«Con la ágil pluma que le conocemos, Pierre Lemaitre comparte en este Diccionario su pasión por la literatura policiaca y la novela negra con un subjetivismo entusiasta y razonado.»RTL «Pierre Lemaitre se apodera de la novela policiaca como novelista y lector, y ofrece su punto de vista con regocijo, asombro y placer. [...] Los aficionados a la novela negra disfrutarán enormemente con esta panorámica.»RTS culture «Uno de esos diccionarios por los que el lector se pasea a placer, antes de leerlo de cabo a rabo. Véanlo como una charla en torno al álbum de fotos de la familia o una invitación a descubrir todo lo que les quedaba por explorar en el continente del noir.»France Inter «Un libro imponente, rebosante de pasión por compartir, que alterna las declaraciones de amor con puyas muy sentidas. Una obra golosa que permite al aficionado, dependiendo de su apetito, devorarla o picar aquí y allá entre los retratos de escritores (de Eric Ambler a Don Winslow, pasando por Jean-Patrick Manchette, Elizabeth George, Donald Westlake y muchos otros) y las revisiones de personajes míticos (a Lemaitre le encanta Colombo), películas y series de referencia (Arresto preventivo, The Wire, etc.).»La Dépêche
