Il nuovo romanzo dal vincitore del Bram Stoker Award.Grande Canada, Moosonee. Sono trascorsi 16 anni dallo schianto di Uxor 77 e da allora la città è assediata dalla Milizia governativa, impegnata a sterminare i figli della Peste Bianca, sopravvissuti contaminati, mostri di nuova generazione. Nessuno deve uscire dai recinti di quarantena. L'ordine è chiaro, ma c'è chi si ribella. A bordo della Homeless Doll, un gruppo di disperati tenta la fuga verso il Trash Vortex 147, un'isola di plastica, un enorme accumulo di spazzatura galleggiante che non figura nemmeno sulle mappe. Ma sarà davvero un posto sicuro o si rivelerà l'ennesimo girone di un inferno che non ammette via d'uscita? Un viaggio di speranza e perdizione in cui passato e futuro s'incontrano in una spirale di violenza, cannibalismo, perversione, chiudendo il cerchio di un Samsara apocalittico. Ormai è tempo di azzerare il vecchio mondo e prepararsi al nuovo che avanza, col pelo lucido e la lunga coda; un mondo da ripensare, comunque vada a finire...Illustrazione di copertina di Wendy Saber Core, illustrazioni interne e di quarta di Stefano Cardoselli

Sulle coste spazzate dal vento di Harper's Cove, all'estremo nord della Nuova Scozia, si erge il Faro di Widow's Point. Dal giorno in cui è stato edificato, ha causato parecchie morti misteriose, conquistandosi la fama di luogo maledetto. Sono trascorsi circa trent'anni dalla sua chiusura quando Thomas Livingston, scrittore di libri sul paranormale, decide di sfidarlo: vi resterà segregato, da solo, per tre giorni e tre notti, al fine di svelarne il mistero e scrivere un nuovo bestseller. Dopotutto, 268 gradini da scalare e un breve periodo di reclusione sono un prezzo ragionevole per scoprire la verità, ma sarà davvero il solo tributo da pagare?Per scoprirlo non vi resta che prendere fiato e cominciare a salire.Illustrazione di copertina di Wendy Saber Core

The new story collection by three-time Bram Stoker Award Winning author and editor Mort Castle, containing his uncollected stories: 'I Am Your Need'; 'The Doctor, The Kid, and The Ghosts in the Lake'; 'Guidance'; 'Robot';The Story of Albert Glucklick' or 'What They Had In Common'; 'The Counselor'; 'The Oval Portrait'; 'Dreaming Robot Monster'; 'Prayer'; 'The Old Man and the Dead'; 'Light'.Cover art by Wendy Saber Core."Mort Castle's compelling imagination always takes the reader to interesting places. Some are frightening, some beautiful, some happy and some sad, but all are insightful and keen to the human condition. This excellent collection should be on every midnight traveler's list of destinations."-Robert McCammon, New York Times bestselling author, Boy's Life; Mine; Usher's Passing; The Listener"Mort Castle is a genre unto himself, His work is - in the dictionary sense - singular in the horror field. If I had any control over the Fates, Knowing When To Die would signal a sea-change in the field, and one for the better. Castle's characters are the lost, the lonely, the discarded, the sinful, and those seeking some form of redemption. His stories are literate, moving, often hideously uncomfortable, and ultimately unforgettable. To read this collection is to witness a master storyteller at the height of his considerable powers. This is one of the most extraordinary collections I have ever had the privilege of reading. These stories will disturb you long after you've finished reading them."-Gary A. Braunbeck, Seven time recipient of the Bram Stoker Award and the author of To Each Their Darkness

A S/F Horror novel by Bram Stoker Award Winning author Alessandro Manzetti.Welcome to New Belmarsh Penitentiary, a space farm of human meat, where Slicers dispatch fleeing captives and organs are mechanically excised from the flesh and kept alive. Torture and death in a thousand variations await the dying and the damned. After the impact of radioactive, disease-bringing meteorite Uxor77 (presenting a new Year 0), a slow but unrelenting apocalypse is triggered. Earth is poisoned, agriculture compromised. In an already over-exploited environment, this leads to a global food crisis. Only the rich can afford what little vegetables and meat remain clean. Cannibalism is just around the corner.In the year 41 post-Uxor, countries like New France are heavily militarized and entire districts out of control, such as South Paris 5, governed by the criminal boss Big Blue, an "artist" who collects sadistic human installations. The wealthy dine at illegal cannibalistic restaurants like Le Sphinx Tatoué, where they can have sadistic sex and unorthodox meals with "disposable" prostitutes, while mutated rats compete with human wretches on the streets for scraps of food. New Moon Corporation is making a profit out of this mess, experimenting with new drugs and breeding humans to produce meat for the rich. To this end, NARAKA, aka New Belmarsh Penitentiary, is built on the Moon, a way to control the spreading criminality by removing from the planet the worst scum of Earth. This includes Kiki Léger, former South Paris 5 prostitute turned professional assassin. In Naraka, inmates are slaughtered, packaged, and delivered to Earth in cans, while a lunatic pedophile priest makes up a new heretic religion. Even worse things happen in the lower layers of the underground, hive-like structure ...Cover art by Wendy Saber Core, internal illustrations by Stefano Cardoselli."I am unable to think of a more original novel in any genre. Each paragraph is a delectable new treat in what you should think of as a diabolical Whitman's Sampler from Hell. I've never taken LSD and now I don't have to; after finishing NARAKA, its hideous, chimeral imagery raced ceaseless Tartarean circles in my brain, like a spew of appalling living things, and I was helpless to stop it. This book is a must-read for fans of any type of heavy-weight non-mainstream fiction, an unparalleled literary carpet-bombing that will warp your mind for some time to come." -Edward Lee, author of THE BIGHEAD and WHITE TRASH GOTHIC"Alessandro Manzetti's NARAKA is a dark, frightening and heartbreaking novel that takes an unflinching look at evil and courage. Highly recommended!" -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of GLIMPSE and V-WARS
