Bongo fury
by Sergio BizzioEl tiempo se acelera exponencialmente; las voces se tornan inaudibles; las geografías mudan y los cuerpos se tuercen en acrobacias. Cada cuento se abre a la dimensión desconocida que encierran cada uno de los días que habitamos. Los espejismos se desprenden de la realidad como el vapor mercurial de la distancia sobre una carretera. Etérea. Está allí y es inalcanzable. Cuando se la piensa dominada, lo que creemos real se dobla sobre sí mismo, o se despliega como el pañuelo de un mago. Sergio Bizzio expone el fondo de la galera. Todo parece estar como es. Y sin embargo... toc toc en la copa y unos ejemplares singulares de la especie humana alcanzan velocidades extraordinarias; una muñeca cobra vida y se extingue o alguien tiene que lidiar con el poder de que se cumplan todos sus deseos... En Bongo fury, este escritor genial muestra la plenitud de su arte. El tiempo se acelera exponencialmente; las voces se tornan inaudibles; las geografías mudan y los cuerpos se tuercen en acrobacias insólitas. Cada cuento se abre a la dimensión desconocida que encierran los días que habitamos. La crítica ha dicho... «Libre, inspirado, inclasificable.»Juan José Becerra «Bizzio es el mejor escritor argentino actual (por lejos).»Maximiliano Crespi «Una escritura precisa y llena de detalles de gran belleza, despojada de toda ironía teórica.»Flavio Lo Presti «Bizzio demuestra una confianza fanática en su apuesta estilística: prosa despejada, estructura clara, situaciones desconcertantes, y, por supuesto, una imaginación obscena, un vuelo alucinógeno ilimitado.»La Voz del Interior «Aquí no hay reacciones previsibles, sino una lectura trastornada de lo real.»La Nación «Bizzio mixtura el delirio con lo cotidiano y construye un verosímil que se torna una agudísima exploración de los deseos y temores colectivos. A fin de cuentas, nunca sabremos del todo qué reverbera más en nosotros, si lo evidente o lo extraordinario.»Revista Ñ

The Book and the Blade (Arthur Crazy #1)
by A. B. FinlaysonA perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett’s GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD’S END. Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts. This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn't matter that Arthur doesn't believe in them. They believe in him. Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he’s the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he’s the only one who can help. As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn't the only thing that makes him stand out. Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he’s the one they’re stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.

The sometimes-frightening ties between people force Konoha to reexamine his understanding of true friendship...but will Konoha's newfound openness only leave him more vulnerable to betrayal?
