The Pisstown Chaos: A Novel
by David Ohle"Mesmerizing . . . a vivid world, both familiar and foreign, dark and slyly humorous, makes the book a grim delight" (Publishers Weekly).One family finds themselves forceably dislocated in the midst of chaos, disease, and forced-relocation. Political power seems to be solely in the hands of one Reverend Herman Hooker, an "American Divine" who revels in the peoples' suffering as they are "shifted" (separated from--and then randomly coupled with--one another) by decree every five years. There are up-shifts, down-shifts, and side-shifts, but no attempt to make harmonious pairings. Chaos rages on as parasitic infestations spread and the Reverend rules with an iron fist from his Templex headquarters, spouting platitudes to the ever-moving masses. The final book in the trilogy that began with Motorman and its sequel, The Age of Sinatra, The Pisstown Chaos is a wild end to the cult favorite series.
Pistolen im Morgengrauen, Euer Gnaden (Herren der Nacht #5)
by Sandra SookooEin von der Gesellschaft verstoßener Mann, der auf Lebenszeit verflucht ist... Alexander Laurence Hayes - 6. Duke of Everington - hat ein schreckliches Geheimnis: Er ist gezwungen, sich jede Nacht in eine Bestie zu verwandeln. Doch als er auf einen geheimen Gentleman-Club in London stößt, der sich an Männer mit seinem Leiden wendet, bekommt er vielleicht endlich Antworten. Es spielt keine Rolle, dass die Begegnung mit einer schönen Frau sein Verlangen geweckt haben könnte, denn er hat dringendere Interessen, als mit ihr zu schlafen. Das mag sein. Eine Frau, die von Liebe träumt, aber der Magie skeptisch gegenübersteht... Eleanor Riverton hat es nicht leicht mit der Fantasie. Als Schwester eines Bow Street Runner verlässt sie sich auf Fakten, nicht auf Märchen. Als sie also von etwas, das sie für einen Wolf hält, durch die Straßen von Mayfair gejagt wird und in derselben Nacht einen Mann trifft, der behauptet, ein Herzog zu sein, ist ihre Neugierde geweckt. Die Tatsache, dass er splitternackt und wunderschön ist, macht keinen Unterschied, und auch nicht, dass ihr erster Instinkt darin besteht, ihn zu erschießen. Möglicherweise. Gegensätze ziehen sich an, Angst und Hoffnung prallen aufeinander... Mit dem neuen Wissen, dass der Kuss der wahren Liebe den Fluch brechen wird, macht sich Alexander auf, die Frau zu bezaubern, die er gejagt hat. Während die Anziehungskraft sofort aufflammt, wird seine Bestie nicht kampflos aufgeben, und Eleanor ist außer sich, als sie das Geheimnis des Herzogs entdeckt. Nur wenn sie zusammenarbeiten, werden sie die Freiheit erlangen, die sie beide suchen... es sei denn, sie bringen sich vorher gegenseitig um. Auf jeden Fall.
El pistolero. La torre oscura I
by Stephen KingEl pistolero es el primer libro de la magnífica serie «La Torre Oscura». Aquí conocemos al héroe Roland de Gilead y se inicia su largo viaje hacia la enigmática torre. En un mundo extrañamente parecido al nuestro Roland Deschain de Gilead persigue a su enemigo, el hombre de negro. Roland, solitario, quizá maldito, anda sin descanso a través de un paisaje triste y abandonado. Conoce a Jake, un chico de Nueva York pero de otro tiempo, y ambos unen sus destinos. Ante ellos están las montañas. Y mucho más allá, la Torre Oscura... «El hombre de negro huía a través del desierto y el pistolero iba en pos de él.» Estas palabras las escribió Stephen King en 1970, cinco años antes de la publicación de su primera novela, y con ellas abrió la puerta a un nuevo mundo que muchos lectores todavía no conocen bien. De esta forma se inició una fantasía épica en siete tomos, «La Torre Oscura», que terminó convirtiéndose en un clásico del género. Stephen King tardó treinta y tres años en terminar el ciclo. La presente es una versión revisada del primer volumen, enriquecido con las ilustraciones de Michael Whelan para una edición limitada que publicó Donald M. Grant en 1982, junto con una nueva introducción y un prólogo del autor. La crítica ha dicho...«Básicamente, el escritor a quien más admiramos y seguimos, y que más ha inspirado nuestro trabajo.»Damon Lindelof, cocreador de Perdidos
