Best Selling Books by Chuck Wendig

The force of nature that is Chuck Wendig returns with an original urban fantasy novel, creating a brand new series for Abaddon Books. Five years ago, it all went wrong for Cason Cole. He lost his wife and son, lost everything, and was bound into service to a man who chews up human lives and spits them out, a predator who holds nothing dear and respects no law. Now, as the man he both loves and hates lies dying at his feet, the sounds of the explosion still ringing in his ears, Cason is finally free. The gods and goddesses are real. A polytheistic pantheon—a tangle of divine hierarchies—once kept the world at an arm’s length, warring with one another for mankind’s belief and devotion. It was a grim and bloody balance, but a balance just the same. When one god triumphed, driving all other gods out of Heaven, it was back to the bad old days: cults and sycophants, and the terrible retribution the gods visit on those who spite them. None of which is going to stop Cason from getting back what’s his...

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.

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.
