Drumbeats
by Kevin J. Anderson Neil PeartThis dark fantasy set in Africa is a collaboration between a New York Times–bestselling author and the drummer from the multi-platinum rock band, Rush. A chilling tale of African drums and human souls from #1 international bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson and legendary Rush lyricist and drummer Neil Peart. Early in their three decades of correspondence, Neil Peart sent Kevin J. Anderson extensive descriptions and travelogues of his adventures bicycling solo across Africa. Peart painted a vivid and unsettling landscape as memorable as the lyrics to his songs. Anderson, award-winning and bestselling fantasy and science fiction author, used those descriptions as the backdrop for plotting an intense, atmospheric dark fantasy story that followed Peart&’s experiences, though with a much more ominous twist. The two used their respective strengths to weave a memorable tale that will linger long after the last page. This special illustrated edition includes Anderson&’s new introduction, written after Peart&’s death on January 7, 2020, as well as the original Afterword Peart wrote for the story.

But what sense were flights of fancy when he was surely bound for battle-and Sian about to be banished to a nunnery...?

Tal es el inquietante principio de una novela magistral que alumbró uno de los mitos más populares y poderosos de todos los tiempos: Drácula. La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología y el prefacio del reputado catedrático y crítico Christopher Frayling, donde se analiza la figura de Stoker y las circunstancias que propiciaron la creación de Drácula. Asimismo, la perspicaz introducción a cargo del especialista Maurice Hindle reflexiona sobre los aspectos más polémicos en torno al origen del prototipo vampírico. «No había nadie por allí, excepto un hombre alto y flaco, de nariz ganchuda y barba en punta y entrecana. Tenía una mirada dura y fría y unos ojos de color rojo.»
