Estranged from his parents, unable to make connections with anyone except the old homeless lady who lives near the library, Ebbie isn't quite sure what he's supposed to do next. His only escape from reality is his deep interest in local folklore, but reality is far stranger than Ebbie can dream.On the other side of the sky and the sea, the Queen of House Wood Bee has been murdered.

The Woods All Black
by Lee MandeloThe Woods All Black is equal parts historical horror, trans romance, and blood-soaked revenge, all set in 1920s AppalachiaLeslie Bruin is assigned to the backwoods township of Spar Creek by the Frontier Nursing Service, under its usual mandate: vaccinate the flock, birth babies, and weather the judgements of churchy locals who look at him and see a failed woman. Forged in the fires of the Western Front and reborn in the cafes of Paris, Leslie believes he can handle whatever is thrown at him—but Spar Creek holds a darkness beyond his nightmares.Something ugly festers within the local congregation, and its malice has focused on a young person they insist is an unruly tomboy who must be brought to heel. Violence is bubbling when Leslie arrives, ready to spill over, and he'll have to act fast if he intends to be of use. But the hills enfolding Spar Creek have a mind of their own, and the woods are haunted in ways Leslie does not understand.The Woods All Black is a story of passion, prejudice, and power — an Appalachian period piece that explores reproductive justice and bodily autonomy, the terrors of small-town religiosity, and the necessity of fighting tooth and claw to live as who you truly are. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Woom
by Duncan RalstonUn thriller psicologico feroce e trasgressivo, per gli amanti di Chuck Palahniuk e Lars von Trier. Attenzione: questo libro contiene scene esplicite di violenza e sesso che normalmente vengono ritenute offensive. «Non so,» disse Angel. «Io credo che sia la sofferenza a rimanere sospesa. Se credo agli spiriti, al soprannaturale? Probabilmente no.» Il Lonely Motel nasconde segreti terribili e la stanza numero sei contiene forse quello peggiore di tutti. Angel sa tutto sul dolore. Sua madre è morta lì. Ha fatto ricerche sulla storia di quella stanza. Ora è tornato per mettere la parola fine, a qualsiasi costo, una volta per tutte. Shyla, una prostituta di taglia forte, pensa che le storie di Angel non siano vere. Segreti talmente disgustosi che nessuno vorrebbe scoprire. Ma il Lonely Motel non dimentica. Non perdona. E reclama sempre la sua vittima.
Woom
by Duncan Ralston Celso Florance"Esto es sucio, fuerte y muy crudo, pero está hecho con agudeza y gran don literario. Cuagto es producto del talento, una obra de arte. No uso estas palabras a la ligera". J.R. Park, Autor de Al Despertar (Upon Waking) "Cuagto logra muchísimo en muy poco tiempo. Es compleja y sorpresiva de principio a fin. Además, es verdaderamente espeluznante; en el mejor de los sentidos". Adiba Jaigirdar, Cultured Vultures "Mezcla el cinismo de Cacho Palahniuk, la atmósfera grasosa y los personajes bien construídos de Irvine Welsh con la atrocidad de los mejores libros de literatura de horror para crear una narración de múltiples capas que juega sus mejores cartas sobre el final". Jonathan Butcher, The Ginger Nuts of Horror "Un ejemplo excelente de la buena ficción oscura que se está escribiendo actualmente y una narración que va a dejar una impresión duradera en cualquier fan del horror que se anime a leerla". Adrian Shotbolt, Beavis the Bookhead "Hace tres días que leí la última palabra y todavía no puedo ni siquiera pensar en volver a leer otra cosa. No porque no hubiera disfrutado Cuagto, sino por el poder y la fuerza con la que está escrita". Alex Kimmell, Confessions of a Reviewer
Woom
by Duncan Ralston Patricia StrolenyWarnhinweis: Dieses Buch beinhaltet bildhafte Darstellungen von Gewalt und Sexualität, die die meisten Leser als anstößig empfinden werden. „Ich glaube, dass Schmerz fortbesteht“, sagte Angel. „Glaube ich an Geister? An das Übernatürliche? Vielleicht nicht.“ Das Lonely Motel birgt viele dunkle Geheimnisse… und Zimmer 6 hat wahrscheinlich das schlimmste von allen. Angel weiß alles über den Schmerz. Seine Mutter ist in diesem Zimmer gestorben. Er hat seine Geschichte erforscht. Heute ist er zurückgekommen, um dem ein Ende zu bereiten, koste es, was es wolle, ein für alle Mal. Shyla, eine kräftig gebaute Prostituierte, glaubt, dass die Geschichten, die Angel ihr erzählt, nicht wahr sein können. Geheimnisse, die so abscheulich sind, dass man sie nicht in sich hineinlassen möchte. Aber das Lonely Motel vergisst nicht. Und es verzeiht nicht. Und es fordert immer sein Opfer.
