Ethan Pitowski is afraid of everything. Luckily, his best friends don’t mind, and when their entire class gets invited to watch a long-buried horror movie at the most popular boy in school’s house, Ethan’s friends encourage him to join in the fun. But when the “scariest movie ever made” reveals itself to be not just a movie about a monster, but a movie that is a monster, only a terrified Ethan escapes its clutches. Now he must find a way to stop the monster and save his friends (and also, um, get their heads back). With his signature balance of kid-friendly horror and humor, Chuck Wendig crafts a spookily heartfelt novel about anxiety, friendship, and finding your unique voice and inner strength.

Three Slices is the only collection of novellas about cheese wizards in the world-and it''s written by New York Times bestselling authors! You therefore need it as a matter of principle.

Snuggle up with three delightful tales of dogs and drinks from the minds of New York Times bestselling authors Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne, and Chuck Wendig. Oberon the Irish wolfhound and his Boston terrier buddy, Starbuck, not only witness humans waste perfectly good sausage, but also a sneaky murder committed right before their eyes in THE CHARTREUSE CHANTEUSE by Kevin Hearne. Justice demands that someone pay for both crimes, and together with their Druid, Atticus O''Sullivan, and D.I. Rose Badgely of the Launceston police, they''ll show the dastardly villain they messed with the wrong good dogs. THE BARTENDER AND THE BEAST introduces the enchanting world of Arcadia Falls, the setting for Delilah S. Dawson''s return to Paranormal Romance. When no-nonsense bartender Cassia King returns to her sleepy hometown in the Georgia mountains to help her sister, she can''t help falling for well-dressed wildlife rehabilitator Riley. But as Cash learns, Arcadia Falls has a secret, and so does the bar''s rescue pit bull, Peach Pit... In WHISKEY SOUR by Chuck Wendig, It was the end of the world and Harry Campbell wanted a drink. He''s one of the few who remained in Ouray, Colorado, after everything went to hell -- and has decided to willfully fall off the wagon and find a way to make a cocktail he once loved, the whiskey sour. His quest to make a drink will take him beyond the borders of Ouray and into the world fallen under the shadow of the now-gone White Mask disease. But, he won''t do it alone -- Shepherd Marcy Reyes lends him the courage and pluck of the golden retriever known as Gumball to help him stay alive and stay sane in the process. But Harry''s journey holds a greater, more secret purpose -- he has questions that remain unanswered about what the rogue AI called Black Swan did to them all, and he intends to have those answers, even if they change him, and perhaps the world, forever.

Alla tredicenne Molly, nella vita, è toccata la pagliuzza più corta: è stata cresciuta da un padre negligente e perdigiorno che l’ha lasciata senza un tetto sopra la testa, mentre Dustin, il fratello maggiore che non ha mai conosciuto, ha avuto la madre amorevole e le chiavi della tenuta di famiglia. Ma ora che i fratelli sono entrambi orfani, lei torna a casa a reclamare la sua eredità, o per lo meno a dividere i proventi dell’attività di famiglia... Dustin non la accoglie affatto col sorriso sulle labbra, ma c’è anche un altro problema: l’azienda di famiglia è un servizio di pompe funebri per mostri, e Molly non è sicura di essere pronta ad affrontare porte misteriose, lupi parlanti, voci che chiamano nella notte, una canaglia divoratrice di magia e un cimitero segreto... Ci vorranno tutte le conoscenze soprannaturali di Dustin e il costume da cosplay più eroico di Molly (oltre a un piccolo aiuto da parte di amici non umani) per risolvere un inaspettato (mostruoso) problema e a salvare la situazione... Sempre che i due fratelli riescano ad andare d’accordo per cinque minuti! Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

¡¡Tercera y última novela de la Trilogía superventas CONSECUENCIAS!! A medida que el enfrentamiento final entre la Nueva República y el Imperio se acerca, todas las miradas se dirigen a un planeta antaño aislado: Jakku. La Batalla de Endor fragmentó al Imperio, dispersando sus fuerzas restantes por toda la galaxia. Pero los meses siguientes a la victoria rebelde no han sido fáciles. La Nueva República ha sufrido un ataque devastador por parte de un remanente imperial, obligando a la nueva democracia a aumentar su persecución contra su enemigo oculto. Por su papel en la mortífera emboscada, la Gran Almirante Rae Sloane es la criminal de guerra imperial más buscada y la piloto Norra Wexley, de nuevo de servicio a petición de Leia, lidera su búsqueda. Pero algo más que su lealtad a la Nueva República impulsa a Norra: su marido fue convertido en un peón asesino en el complot de asesinato de Sloane, y ahora ella quiere venganza y justicia. Pero Sloane, también, se encuentra en una furiosa misión: perseguir al traicionero Gallius Rax al planeta Jakku. Como verdadera mente tras el devastador ataque del Imperio, Rax ha llevado al Imperio hasta el momento definitivo. El estratega ha reunido los restos de la poderosa maquinaria de guerra del Imperio, preparándose para ejecutar el plan final del difunto Emperador Palpatine.

Norra y su equipo surgen entre un apocalíptico choque que dejará el cielo y la tierra devastados. Y el futuro de la galaxia será finalmente decidido.

Finally--a book of writing advice that accounts for all of the messy, perverse, practical, and inexplicable parts of being a human who writes The truth is that all of the "writing rules" you''ve learned are bullshit.

There is meaningful advice to be had in the writing world, and Chuck Wendig is here to deliver it. In this hilarious guide, Wendig will help you discover more about yourself as a writer, parse through your quirks and foibles, and help you figure out the best way for you to get words on the page--without destroying yourself along the way. With behind-the-scenes stories of Wendig''s own writing struggles, sections on debunking popular advice, self-care tips, and more footnotes than are strictly necessary (or legally recommended by scientists), Gentle Writing Advice will give the unvarnished truth about the writing process and remind you of what''s actually important--taking care of the writer. (That''s you, by the way.)

Hace mucho tiempo, Nathan vivía en una casa de campo con un padre maltratador, y nunca le ha contado a su familia lo que ocurrió allí. Hace mucho tiempo, Maddie era una niña que jugaba a las muñecas en su habitación y vio algo que no tendría que haber visto… Y ahora intenta recordar aquel momento traumático creando unas esculturas inquietantes. Hace mucho tiempo, algo siniestro y voraz deambulaba por los túneles y las montañas y las minas de carbón de su ciudad natal en la zona rural de Pensilvania.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A family returns to their hometown—and to the dark past that haunts them still—in this masterpiece of literary horror by the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers. LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • “The dread, the scope, the pacing, the turns—I haven’t felt all this so intensely since The Shining.”—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Public Library, Library Journal Long ago, Nathan lived in a house in the country with his abusive father—and has never told his family what happened there. Long ago, Maddie was a little girl making dolls in her bedroom when she saw something she shouldn’t have—and is trying to remember that lost trauma by making haunting sculptures. Long ago, something sinister, something hungry, walked in the tunnels and the mountains and the coal mines of their hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now, Nate and Maddie Graves are married, and they have moved back to their hometown with their son, Oliver. And now what happened long ago is happening again... and it is happening to Oliver. He meets a strange boy who becomes his best friend, a boy with secrets of his own and a taste for dark magic.

“If King had written a sequel to The Stand, it might look something like this monumental epic of a story.”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of Bones “As great as Wanderers was, Wayward is better.”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones Five years ago, ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country to a destination only they knew. They were followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them. Their secret destination: Ouray, a small town in Colorado that would become one of the last outposts of civilization. Because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world—and the birth of a new one. The survivors, sleepwalkers and shepherds alike, have a dream of rebuilding human society. Among them are Benji, the scientist struggling through grief to lead the town; Marcy, the former police officer who wants only to look after the people she loves; and Shana, the teenage girl who became the first shepherd—and an unlikely hero whose courage will be needed again. Because the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and the world they are building is fragile. The forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse. Against these threats, Benji, Marcy, Shana, and the rest have only one hope: one another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is together.

MEJOR NOVELA DEL AÑO PARA LIBRARY JOURNAL. Hace mucho tiempo, Nathan vivía en una casa de campo con un padre maltratador, y nunca le ha contado a su familia lo que ocurrió allí.

No había sentido nada así desde que leí El resplandor.» Stephen Graham Jones, autor superventas del The New York Times con El único indio bueno. «Chuck Wendig es la nueva voz del terror estadounidense moderno. El libro de los accidentes es una obra maestra.» Adam Christopher, autor de Stranger Things: A oscuras en la ciudad « El libro de los accidentes es la obra magna de Chuck Wendig. Rebosante de imaginación y humanidad es un pequeño rayo de esperanza para un mundo que se ahoga en la crueldad. Lo mejor de Wendig hasta el momento.» Christopher Golden «Solo Chuck Wendig puede combinar el terror, la fantasía y la ciencia ficción en un thriller tan divertido como aterrador, tan inteligente como misterioso, tan tierno como aterrador. Un recorrido mágico.» Alma Katsu «En la tradición de los libros de Stephen King, Wendig ve lo cósmico y aterrador a través de la lente de lo doméstico, anclando sus visiones de lo sublime en la arena de lo familiar. El resultado es una novela en la que deambular, en la que perderse.» John Langan

But now the siblings are both orphaned, she''s come home for her inheritance, and if Dustin won''t welcome her into the family business, then she''ll happily take her half in cash. There''s just one problem: The family business is a mortuary for monsters, and Molly''s not sure she''s ready to deal with mysterious doors, talking wolves, a rogue devourer of magic, and a secret cemetery. It''s going to take all of Dustin''s stuffy supernatural knowledge and Molly''s most heroic cosplay (plus a little help from non-human friends) for the siblings to figure it out and save the day...if only they can get along for five minutes.

Una novela escrita por el aclamado autor Chuck Wendig, el considerado por toda la crítica como gran relevo de Stephen King. Una de las mejores novelas distópicas y de terror de todos los tiempos, que relata una misteriosa epidemia que asola Estados Unidos. NOMINADO AL PREMIO BRAM STOKER. MEJOR LIBRO DEL AÑO PARA: The Washington Post • NPR • The Guardian • Kirkus Reviews • Publishers Weekly • Library Journal • Polygon Shana se despierta una mañana y descubre que su hermana pequeña ha sido presa por las garras de una extraña enfermedad. Parece que se ha convertido en una sonámbula. Es incapaz de hablar y de despertarse, y se dirige con inexorable determinación a un destino que sólo ella conoce. Pero Shana y su hermana no están solas. Pronto se les unen una banda de sonámbulos procedente de todo Estados Unidos, para realizar el mismo viaje misterioso. Como Shana, hay otros pastores que siguen al rebaño de sonámbulos en un intento por proteger a sus amigos y familiares en el largo y oscuro camino que les espera. En su recorrido, descubrirán una América convulsionada por el terror y la violencia, donde esta nueva epidemia apocalíptica resulta menos peligrosa que el miedo a ella. A medida que el resto de la sociedad va derrumbándose a su alrededor, y una milicia ultraviolenta amenaza con exterminarlos, el destino de los sonámbulos parece depender del hecho de desentrañar el misterio existente detrás de la epidemia. Este aterrador secreto tanto puede destrozar a toda la nación como bien unir a los supervivientes en su intento de rehacer un mundo devastado. Próximamente una serie de televisión de la mano de los creadores de The Walking Dead. La crítica ha dicho... «Una poderosa historia sobre la humanidad, la tecnología y la supervivencia del mundo. Las comparaciones con La danza de la muerte, de Stephen King están justificadas, ya que Wendig rompe los límites de la ficción especulativa y literaria en una saga que apelará a todos los lectores.» Library Journal «Una obra maestra inventiva, en expansión, feroz, intransigente, aterradora. Una epopeya en todo el sentido de la palabra. Los sonámbulos es un canto fúnebre, emocionante y conmovedor para el siglo XXI.» Paul Tremblay « Los Sonámbulos de Chuck Wendig no solo recoge el guante lanzado por La danza de la muerte, sino que huye de él, construyendo una nueva mitología en su lugar. Esta historia de supervivencia brutalmente épica lleva a la humanidad al límite y más allá. Una aventura asombrosa.» Fran Wilde «Una exitosa novela apocalíptica, que confronta algunos de los aspectos más oscuros y decisivos de la América actual con urgencia, humanidad y esperanza. Esta epopeya se eleva fácilmente por encima de las muchas novelas recientes sobre la pandemia y el colapso social.» Publishers Weekly «La nueva novela de Chuck Wendig es más grandiosa y ambiciosa que cualquier otra que haya escrito. Una epopeya masiva que evoca el clásico de Stephen King de la major manera. Una novela que profundiza en cuestiones como el libre albedrío, el fanatismo y la fe.» Barnes and Noble

In the tradition of inspirational pick-me-ups like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Johnny Sun''s G''Morning, G''Night but with a Calvin & Hobbesian sensibility comes this whimsically nerdy spin, illustrated by Natalie Metzger, on motivating folks into getting creative and "DOING THE THINGS." For several years, Chuck has crafted hilarious and inspirational thoughts of the day--they might begin with an optimistic salvo, but inevitably and mirthfully detour into the demon-summoning, robot-making, or confirming that humans are actually mythical hybrid creatures. Equal parts inspiring, sweet, and very funny, Wendig''s profane and imaginative galvanizing quips in You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton! are sure to amp up readers and motivate them to get things done.

Un nouveau monde, le nôtre ? Dans un petit village de Pennsylvanie, Shana surprend sa soeur, Nessie, quittant d''un pas résolu leur maison. Lorsqu''elle tente de l''intercepter, la petite fille ne réagit pas à sa présence. Mutique, absente, le regard vide, elle avance... Croyant à une crise de somnambulisme, Shana commence à la suivre. Rapidement, elles sont rejointes par un deuxième errant, frappé des mêmes symptômes que Nessie. Puis un autre. Bientôt, ils sont des centaines à converger vers la même destination inconnue, tandis que leurs proches, impuissants, leur emboîtent le pas. Très vite, cette mystérieuse épidémie enflamme le pays. Chuck Wendig tend à notre monde un miroir dans lequel se reflètent ses hantises les plus contemporaines : l''irruption de l''inconnu, la peur de l''autre, la défiance envers le gouvernement, la force rampante des discours religieux et extrémistes... Rappelant autant Le Fléau que The Leftovers, Les Somnambules est un portrait humain mais sans concession d''une société au bord de l''extinction.

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world’s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes “a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that’s not just about you and me, but all of us, together” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Polygon Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other “shepherds” who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead. For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them—and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them—the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart—or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world. In development for TV by Glen Mazzara, executive producer of The Walking Dead • Look for the sequel, Wayward, now available! “This career-defining epic deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King’s The Stand.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic.”—Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Run Away “A true tour de force.”—Erin Morgenstern, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus “A masterpiece with prose as sharp and heartbreaking as Station Eleven.”—Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M “A magnum opus . . . It reminded me of Stephen King’s The Stand—but dare I say, this story is even better.”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crucible “An inventive, fierce, uncompromising, stay-up-way-past-bedtime masterwork.”—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World “An American epic for these times.”—Charles Soule, author of The Oracle Year
