Reckless

2020 THRILLER/SUSPENSE AUDIE AWARD WINNER! Now an MGM+ Original Series! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the most riveting and unforgettable story of kids confronting evil since It. “This is King at his best” (The St. Louis Post-Dispatch). In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Kalisha says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.” In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don’t, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute. As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute “is another winner: creepy and touching and horrifyingly believable, all at once” (The Boston Globe).

The Evermore Trilogy

Rose in Chains

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 ‘The best fantasy debut of 2018’ – WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power – an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away…

Familias fatales

Poques vegades un llibre ha estat tan clar, tan útil i tan revelador com aquest assaig sobre l'ofici d'escriure, que comença amb la peculiar infància d'Stephen King, que ja de ben petit va mostrar un interès inusual i precoç per l'escriptura, i ofereix al lector, a partir d'una sèrie de records d'adolescència i de joventut, una mirada amena i divertida sobre la seva formació. Descriu les eines bàsiques de l'ofici d'escriure, com polir-les i multiplicar-les a còpia de fer-les servir, i acompanya el lector a través d'aspectes crucials de la vida i l'art d'un escriptor, oferint consells pràctics i inspiradors sobre tots els aspectes del procés d'escriptura, des de la trama i la construcció dels personatges fins als hàbits de treball i com encarar el rebuig editorial. Escriure culmina amb el commovedor relat de com la seva necessitat d'escriure el va ajudar a recuperar-se del gravíssim accident que va patir l'estiu de l'any 2000, quan el va atropellar una furgoneta.

Fa dos segles, al costat del llac Léman, a Suïssa, quatre amics escriptors van llogar Villa Diodati per passar junts uns dies de descans. Eren el poeta Percy Shelley i la seva esposa Mary, Lord Byron i el doctor Polidori. L'any 1816 es coneix a Europa com l'any sense estiu. La intensitat de les erupcions del volcà Tambora, situat a Indonèsia, va tenir conseqüències climàtiques fins al continent europeu. La pluja incessant i les vetllades de tempesta van incitar els quatre personatges a escriure relats de terror, a la manera dels contes de fantasmes del romanticisme alemany. D'aquestes fèrtils nits d'estiu va néixer El vampir de Polidori, com a expansió d'un relat inacabat de Lord Byron. I, arran d'un malson de Mary Shelley, va començar a gestar-se una de les obres clàssiques de la literatura universal i d'un dels personatges més icònics de la cultura popular: Frankenstein. El petit poble de Torrebesses, al sud-est de la comarca del Segrià, no té llac i els estius són tòrrids i secs però, entre el seu notable conjunt arquitectònic, destaca una construcció monumental força seductora. A la part més elevada del poble s'alça el castell palau de Torrebesses considerat Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional (BCIN). El castell té mil anys d'història al darrere. A la segona planta hi ha la capella barroca de la Concepció, l'antic oratori dels cartoixans d'Escaladei que van romandre més de quatre segles al poble. Durant la Guerra Civil, el castell es va habilitar com a Hospital de la Sang per guarir els ferits en la contesa. Hi van morir 260 soldats italians que van ser enterrats al cementiri local. Al segle XX, l'edifici va ser utilitzat com a granja d'aviram just abans de ser transformat en l'allotjament rural ple d'encant que és avui. Dos-cents anys després, aquest casalot imponent va reflectir l'ombra de Villa Diodati. Quatre escriptors s'hi van tancar amb el repte de redactar cadascú un conte terrorífic inspirat en el mateix castell o en el poble de Torrebesses, ple de llegendes relacionades amb les bruixes. Una d'aquestes llegendes diu que, a l'edat mitjana, les nits de lluna plena, als voltants de la torre de l'homenatge del castell, les bruixes practicaven els seus vols nocturns llançant crits estridents que terroritzaven els camperols. L'octubre del 2016, Mario Urrea, l'alcalde de Torrebesses, va donar el tret de sortida a la primera edició del Festival de Literatura de Terror de Catalunya, Torrebesses Tremola. Els quatre escriptors escollits per tancar-se al castell són els autors d'aquest llibre.

Contes de terror

Esperonada per les opinions d'amics i família, i amb l'objectiu de resoldre una difuminació física que denota certes incongruències internes, la Diana s'anima a emprendre un viatge cap al seu món interior. Per què no? Enroscar els cargols fluixos, arreglar els quatre mecanismes que fallen i sortir higiènica, nova i enllustrada. Lluny de ser un viatge fàcil, però, el periple la portarà a conèixer geografies i criatures del tot imprevistes —buròcrates, turistes, guàrdies, fins i tot un àngel!— i haurà de driblar persecucions, aguantar escarnis i caminar molts quilòmetres per aconseguir el seu objectiu. Un cop s'adona que el seu dedins és un lloc abominable, a voltes hostil, haurà de trobar la manera de sortir de si mateixa amb vida. Amb una mirada irònica i una prosa neta i original, plena de sentit de l'humor, Pujadas contraposa unes expectatives mig transcendentals mig terapèutiques amb una realitat entre hilarant i estèril, i fa la seva particular contribució a la literatura del jo.

La intrusa

El 1940, cinc persones es van internar a la Casa Belasco amb la intenció d'esbrinar els secrets i posar llum als misteris de la que era considerada la casa encantada més perillosa del món. Només una va aconseguir sortir-ne amb vida. Trenta anys després, el milionari Rolf Randolph Deutsch contracta quatre estranys, entre ells l'únic supervivent de la massacre del 1940, per demostrar l'existència de la vida després de la mort. Per això hauran de passar una setmana a la Casa Belasco. La Casa Infernal els ha permès entrar, però els deixarà sortir? "La Casa Infernal és la novel·la de cases encantades més terrorífica que s'ha escrit mai. Sobresurt per sobre de la resta igual que les muntanyes sobresurten per sobre dels turons." Stephen King "Un dels escriptors més importants del segle XX" Ray Bradbury

L'Arcà

La casa infernal (edició en català)

Time and again called one of Poe’s most brutal horror short stories, "Berenice" employs themes similar to Poe’s previous works: death of a beautiful woman, premature burial, and mental disorder. Though some autobiographical elements can be felt, the story still remains one of horror and obsession. The dark and brooding atmosphere, together with the almost-maniacal obsession of the main character with his cousin, creates a story that is definitely not for the faint-hearted! Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).

Under the Sun and Sky

The Metamorphosis is a story, about a man who wakes up transformed into a bug and the repercussions it has on his life and the people around him. What does it all mean? It is most probably an autobiography of how Kafka himself experienced early life living with his parents. Kafka describes how he endured his mother and father's financial and emotional exploitation's, to the point of detaching from them and thereby ceasing to be their son (the real metamorphosis). Gregor’s metamorphosis is that of Kafka’s being an obedient son, subserviently paying for his parents’ narcissistic needs with his own life, into being a disobedient one—as if he had become a ‘piece of vermin’. Gregor’s parents possessed a large sum of money which symbolizes the needlessness of Gregor’s exploitation. Thus the parents did not love him for who he was, but for his loyal willingness to undergo this exploitation. Reduced to vermin, Gregor can no longer financially benefit his parents. It is the parents that caused Gregor’s/Kafka’s metamorphosis. The debt Gregor intended to repay his parents symbolizes the emotional debt many adult children continue to feel towards their elderly parents for the love and care they provided.

An orphan since her mother died four years past, leaving Nell with only broken dreams and a pair of satin slippers in her possession, she spends her days dredging up coals, copper and pieces of iron spilled by the river barges – searching for treasure in the mud in order to appease her master, Benjamin Murdstone. But one day, Nell discovers a body on the shore. It’s not the first corpse she’s encountered, but by far the strangest. Nearly seven feet tall, the creature has matted hair covering his legs, and on his head are the suggestion of horns. Nell’s fellow mudlarks urge her to steal his boots and rifle his pockets, but as she ventures closer the figure draws breath – and Nell is forced to make a decision which will change her life forever . . . From the critically acclaimed author of The Toymakers comes an imaginative retelling of the legend of the Minotaur, full of myth and magic and steeped in the grime of Victorian London; perfect for lovers of historical fiction with a mythical twist such as Stone Blind and Circe.

Dinsdale is a beautiful, evocative story teller. - Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Once a Monster

"Supernatural Horror in Literature" is a essay by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, surveying the development and achievements of horror fiction as the field stood in the 1920s and 30s. The essay was researched and written between November 1925 and May 1927, first published in August 1927, and then revised and expanded during 1933–1934. Lovecraft's essay ranges widely, but he first examines the beginnings of weird fiction in the early gothic novel. As a guide for what to read in the early gothic he relied partly on Edith Birkhead's 1921 historical survey The Tale of Terror, and he was also able to draw on the expertise of the great many experts and collectors in his circle. The bulk of the essay was written in New York City giving Lovecraft easy access to the resources of the city's great public libraries and also to the collections of his friends, and thus he was able to read widely and obtain obscure and rare works. His survey then proceeds to outline the development of the supernatural and the weird in the work of major writers such as Ambrose Bierce, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe. Lovecraft names as the four "modern masters" of horror: Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany, M. R. James, and Arthur Machen. In addition to these masters, Lovecraft attempts to make the essay an encompassing survey, and thus he mentions or notes many others in passing.

In "Pharos, the Egyptian," Guy Boothby skillfully weaves together elements of adventure, romance, and supernatural intrigue against the backdrop of late 19th-century Egypt. The novel follows the enigmatic Doctor Mervyn Anstruther as he navigates the labyrinthine streets of Cairo and the mystique of the titular Pharos, a half-legendary lighthouse. Boothby's prose is richly descriptive, immersing readers in the lush, exotic landscapes of the Egyptian setting while simultaneously exploring themes of obsession, identity, and the clash between the ancient and the modern. This work reflects the broader literary context of the time, which was heavily influenced by Orientalism and an increasing Western fascination with Egypt's ancient civilizations. Guy Boothby was an Australian author whose diverse career spanned several literary forms, including travel writing and detective fiction. His fascination with the East, stemming from personal travels through Egypt and other regions, informs the atmospheric depth of the narrative. Boothby's own life experiences with mystery and adventure echo through his characters, creating a compelling connection between the author and his richly drawn fictional world. "Pharos, the Egyptian" is a must-read for enthusiasts of historical fiction and those captivated by tales of the exotic and the unknown. Boothby's meticulous attention to cultural detail and strong character development invites readers to lose themselves in a thrilling narrative that bridges the gap between history and myth, making it a significant addition to the canon of late Victorian literature.
