Fearful Symmetries 21-Jul-2020

by Ellen Datlow, Caitlìn R. Kiernan, Garth Nix, Laird Barron, Nathan Ballingrud, Michael Marshall Smith, Gemma Files, Bruce McAllister, Gary McMahon, Pat Cadigan, Helen Marshall, Terry Dowling, Stephen Graham Jones, Brian Evenson, Jeffrey Ford, Robert Shearman, Kaaron Warren, Catherine MacLeod, Siobhan Carroll, John Langan, Carole Johnstone

( 177 )

$8.69 $9.99

Winner of the Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Awards: “Twenty insanely inventive, hauntingly atmospheric and flat out coo coo for Cocoa Puffs stories” (Hellnotes).

A World Fantasy Award nominee, “this anthology . . . is a collection of some of the most talented horror and speculative fiction authors writing today” (BuzzFeed). It includes all-new stories by Laird Barron, Pat Cadigan, Brian Evenson, Jeffrey Ford, Caítlin R. Kiernan, Garth Nix, Michael Marshall Smith, Kaaron Warren, and other masters of all things spooky and suspenseful.

In tales that crisscross the boundaries of fear and imagination—from a haunted courtyard in New Orleans to a remote Arctic research station—swamp monsters, pool-cleaning robots, and cannibalistic spirits wreak chaos and terror across the pages. You’ll be invited to a prom where a psycho hides inside a sparkly dress or rented tux; on a trip aboard a train to a destination that teems with ghosts; and into the darkest recesses of a human mind, the most fertile ground for the blossoming of true evil.

“Datlow’s ‘experimental’ crowdfunded horror anthology is nicely unthemed. . . . This is an excellent anthology for horror fans, with a nice range of tones and styles and some intriguing new voices.” —Publishers Weekly

“[Fearful Symmetries] not only goes beyond expectations, it raises the bar high above into the horror heavens. . . . A melting pot of distinct voices and styles that leave you wanting more.” —Hellnotes

“One of the best horror anthologies I’ve ever read.” —Thirteen O’Clock

‘The entire Dalek race, wiped out in one second. I watched it happen. I made it happen!’

The Doctor and Rose arrive in an underground vault in Utah in the near future. The vault is filled with alien artefacts. Its billionaire owner, Henry van Statten, even has possession of a living alien creature, a mechanical monster in chains that he has named a Metaltron.

Seeking to help the Metaltron, the Doctor is appalled to find it is in fact a Dalek – one that has survived the horrors of the Time War just as he has. And as the Dalek breaks loose, the Doctor is brought back to the brutality and desperation of his darkest hours spent fighting the creatures of Skaro… this time with the Earth as their battlefield.

Las preferidas de entre mis muertes (Spanish Edition) 6-Sep-2021

by Robert Shearman, Roberto Pino Botella

$9.99 $14.99

Robert Shearman, con su visión tan personal de la fantasía, nos presenta unos personajes cuyas formas de enfrentarse a la vida desnudan, de un modo singularmente cómico, ciertas formas de vivir, ciertos roles adquiridos. Y consigue que exclames: ¡qué horrible es todo esto!
"Una brillante colección con una extraordinaria visión cómica. Las preferidas de entre mis muertes debería situar a Shearman junto a Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams e, incluso, Philip K. Dick, como un narrador excepcional y muy original" (Martin Jarvis)
"Alejados del morbo, cada uno de estos relatos posee una comicidad extraña y una peculiar lógica interior. Aunque su humor es indudablemente gótico, también es inteligente y extrañamente emocionante, melancólico, onírico, extraordinariamente bello. Shearman plantea estos relatos desde un inusual enfoque cómico que, sin negar la oscuridad de sus historias, las transmuta en algo que las hace comprensibles a través de su singularidad". (The Metro)

Canciones de amor para tímidos y cínicos (Spanish Edition) 7-Jul-2020

by Robert Shearman, Roberto Pino Botella

( 3 )

$9.99 $13.99

Obra ganadora de los premios Shirley Jackson Award, Edge Hill Reader's Prize y del British Fantasy Award

Esta gota de fantasía grotesca cae como la tinta en las aguas claras de la vida cotidiana, pero iluminando, en vez de contaminar lo cotidiano. Grandes cuentos de comedia negra y maligno resplandor. Su escritura es aguda y de imaginación desbordante.

(The Word)

Contiene fragmentos que tienes que volver a leer para comprobar que de verdad se ha atrevido a escribir eso.

(SFX)

Shearman posee una voz narrativa única y se mantiene alejado de los clichés, inyectando elementos de horror y surrealismo en un mundo realista claramente reconocible. Tan impresionante como su estrafalaria imaginación es su espectro emocional.

(The Times)

Shearman tiene un extraño don para dar sorpresas en las situaciones más mundanas.

(The Guardian)

In Running Through Corridors, two Doctor Who lovers of old - Robert Shearman and Toby Hadoke - embark on an epic quest of friendship: spend the gap year of 2009 (when Doctor Who consisted of a handful of specials rather than a full season) re-watching the whole of Who two episodes a day, every day, from the show's start in 1963 and ending with David Tennant's swan song on New Year's, 2010.This three-volume series contains Shearman and Hadoke's diary of that experience - a grand opus of their wry observations about the show, their desire to see the good in every story, and their chronicle of the real-life changes to Who in that year.With this book, Who fans will feel that they're watching along with Shearman (World Fantasy Award winner, Hugo Award nominee and writer on the new Doctor Who) and Hadoke (renowned stage performer for his one-man comedy show, Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf) as they make their grand journey through the world's most wonderful and longest-running drama series.
