Mi cuento
by Erick Carballo Stefano PastorLa guerra entre los niños y los ogros nunca terminará. Gatto sabe exactamente cómo es el mundo, y conoce la diferencia entre realidad y mito. La realidad es que el mundo de los niños es una prisión donde los ogros los tienen encerrados. Ahí pueden vivir en una ilusión de libertad, pero son conscientes de que esa libertad algún día terminará. Cuando estén muy altos, el ogro llegará y se los llevará para comérselos, porque eso es lo que harán los ogros. El resto de lo que pase detrás de esa puerta no es más que leyenda. Ellos no saben nada. Todo lo que se transmite de boca en boca es vacío y confuso. Está a punto de descubrirlo, el momento ha llegado, pero Gatto aún no quiere aceptarlo. Cuando el ogro venga a buscarlo, él ya se habrá escapado. Huye y se pierde en un laberinto oscuro e incomprensible; pero lo que le ocurre afuera es algo inesperado; algo de lo que ninguna leyenda ha contado jamás. Un mundo lleno de obstáculos y maravillas, donde se esconde la respuesta a todas sus preguntas.

With his guard down, he doesn't think twice when he hears a knock on the door. The next day, he finds himself in the hospital, badly bruised and with his jaw wired shut. He thinks back over ten years of cases wondering who would want to beat him into unconsciousness, steal his gun and badge, and most importantly, make off with his prized dentures.

This is where the new arrivals debark these days, and it is no mistake that during the last decade of the last century, commentators as diverse as Joan Didion, David Rieff, and T.D. Allman devoted entire volumes to Miami's role as the harbinger for America's future . . . But for now, the novel of crime and punishment is the perfect vehicle to convey the spirit and the timbre of this brawling place to a wider world.

Mice
by Gordon ReeceAn electrifying psychological thriller about a mother and daughter pushed to their limits. Shelley and her mom have been menaced long enough. Excused from high school where a trio of bullies nearly killed her, and still reeling from her parents' humiliating divorce, Shelley has retreated with her mother to the quiet of Honeysuckle Cottage in the countryside. Thinking their troubles are over, they revel in their cozy, secure life of gardening and books, hot chocolate and Brahms by the fire. But on the eve of Shelley's sixteenth birthday, an unwelcome guest disturbs their peace and something inside Shelley snaps. What happens next will shatter all their certainties-about their safety, their moral convictions, the limits of what they are willing to accept, and what they're capable of. Debut novelist Gordon Reece has written a taut tale of gripping suspense, packed with action both comic and terrifying. Shelley is a spellbinding narrator, and her delectable mix of wit, irony, and innocence transforms the major current issue of bullying into an edge- of-your-seat story of fear, violence, family loyalty, and the outer reaches of right and wrong.
