The Doppelganger invasion
by Juan Carlos Arjona OlleroThe Doppelganger Invasion by Juan Carlos Arjona Ollero Second part of a Trilogy [The Doppelganger Invasion] The Earth, 2018. A year after our heroes finished the Chrono-Hunters, everything or, at least, half of it, seemed to be back to normal - Billy and Jessel were still missing since the Continuum incident. For their part, James, Mary and a renewed Louis have become the spearhead of the most ambitious scientific project of humanity: the Hyperion Project, of which main objective was to create a dimensional portal that facilitates the space-time travel. However, from a forgotten dimension a greater threat looms: the Doppelgangers, strange mythical beings who ambition to take over the entire Universe, have set their eyes on our planet. Promoting one of the most elaborate deceptions of History, they will break the barrier that keeps them apart from our world. Under this precept of anarchy, Rick van Helsing and Rasputin will meet in a battle, their personal domain will further complicate the serious situation that our world is going through. A predestined clash between Bearers of Infinity and Chaos that entails much more than mere revenge. The world as we know it is about to face its darkest time. How can you believe in someone you do not trust? How can you fight against someone who was once your ally? This time it is not a war, it is an invasion.

Below the surface lies the kingdom of the Mole—the gloomy domain of an even darker and crueler leader.

And their ultimate weapon is nearly ready—a man who has been genetically and psychologically molded to be a near-perfect double of the Alpha. A covert agent who, once in place, could change the fate of both civilizations—and humanity itself—forever.

Despite his best efforts, passion, and practice, something always goes wrong with his tricks, landing Robbie in trouble.

Dormir al sol
by Adolfo Bioy CasaresDormir al sol es una novela epistolar. Lucio Bordenave le escribe a su amigo Félix Ramos y le cuenta los momentos vividos desde que conoce a un adiestrador de perros llamado Standle. Lucio Bordenave, un relojero por resignación que aprende ese oficio cuando lo echan de un banco, se desvive por su mujer Diana, cuyo malhumor él atribuye al hecho de no haber podido tener hijos. El inestable clima de la pareja se termina de romper cuando conocen al profesor Standle, un inexpugnable alemán que dirige una escuela para perros. Al igual que el pasaje de Villa Urquiza en el que viven conforma un barrio dentro del barrio, una técnica psiquiátrica novedosa y demasiado eficaz convierte esta aparente novela costumbrista en una historia fantástica, tan laberíntica y fascinante como el mismísimo Parque Chas que, por supuesto, también le sirve de escenario. Alejandro Chomski estrenó la película Dormir al sol en 2012 con Luis Machín como Lucio Bordenave.

Dorothy nella Terra dei Mostri (Oz ReVamped #1)
by Garten GevedonMutaforma, zombie e vampiri? Oddio! Mi chiamo Dorothy Gale e penso che potrei essere morta. Quando io e il mio cane Toto siamo stati travolti da un tornado, siamo atterrati all'inferno. Un inferno molto colorato. Come un arcobaleno che gocciola nel sangue. Ora sembra che questo terribile mondo sotterraneo afflitto da vampiri, zombie e mutaforma sarà il luogo della mia dannazione eterna. Dicono che questa terra terrificante chiamata Oz non sia l'inferno o il purgatorio e che la fuga sia possibile, ma prima devo sopravvivere al viaggio lungo la strada di mattoni gialli intrisa di sangue fino all'unico posto di Oz dove i vampiri non osano calpestare: la Città di Smeraldi. Con le scarpe incantate e l'aiuto dei miei tre nuovi amici - un amichevole zombie, un enorme leone mutaforma e un assassino senza cuore che uccide con l'ascia le malvagie creature della notte (che è anche il ragazzo più sexy che abbia mai visto) - Toto e io abbiamo la possibilità di arrivare alla Zona Libera dai Vampiri. Quando ci arriveremo, devo convincere il mago più potente di questa terra magica di mostri a mandarci fuori da questo radioso incubo e tornare nel mondo dei vivi. Dicono che sia spaventoso quanto questa terra mostruosa, che detesta i visitatori e che anche le creature più orribili si rannicchiano in sua presenza. Ma io devo cercarlo. E quando lo troverò, farò tutto il necessario per farmi mandare a casa.

Now a prickly recluse, he hides away in the old hotel slowly dying of cancer, which he refuses to treat. If she can just convince him to sign the infamous guestbook of Percy Coates, Dorothy Parker might be able to persuade the jaded writer to spurn the white light with her.

When a young, ambitious TV producer, Norah Wolfe, enters the hotel in search of Ted Shriver, Parker sees another opportunity to get what she wants. Instead, she and Norah manage to uncover such startling secrets about Ted's past that the future changes for all of them.
