A chilling twist on the “cursed film” genre from the bestselling author of The Pallbearers Club and The Cabin at the End of the World. In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick. The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot. The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy. As memories flood back in, the boundaries between reality and film, past and present start to blur. But he’s going to help remake the film, even if it means navigating a world of cynical producers, egomaniacal directors, and surreal fan conventions—demons of the past be damned. But at what cost? Horror Movie is an obsessive, psychologically chilling, and suspenseful feat of storytelling genius that builds inexorably to an unforgettable, mind-bending conclusion

Un virus que se contagia como la rabia ha arrasado Massachusetts. Pero, a diferencia de la rabia, el periodo de incubación de esta enfermedad es inferior a una hora. Los afectados pierden el juicio y muerden a otras personas. Los enfermos y los moribundos abarrotan los hospitales, y todos los protocolos de emergencia han resultado ser insuficientes. La doctora Rams Sherman recibe la llamada de Natalie, una amiga embarazada que ha sido infectada. Su única opción para salvarse es llegar a un hospital donde puedan vacunarla... Y se le agota el tiempo. La lucha por la supervivencia se convierte en una angustiosa odisea contra reloj mientras ambas mujeres atraviesan un escenario hostil, sembrado de espeluznantes amenazas letales que las empujan al límite de sus fuerzas. Paul Tremblay (autor de La cabaña del fin del mundo y Una cabeza llena de fantasmas, y ganador de premios como el Bram Stoker o el Locus) vuelca todo su talento en una novela explosiva, llena de suspense y terror, que hiela la sangre con su carácter profético al haberse escrito poco antes de la pandemia de COVID-19.

The fifteen pieces in this brilliant collection, The Beast You Are, are all monsters of a kind, ready to loudly (and lovingly) smash through your head and into your heart. In “The Dead Thing,” a middle-schooler struggles to deal with the aftermath of her parents’ substance addictions and split. One day, her little brother claims he found a shoebox with “the dead thing” inside. He won’t show it to her and he won’t let the box out of his sight. In “The Last Conversation,” a person wakes in a sterile, white room and begins to receive instructions via intercom from a woman named Anne. When they are finally allowed to leave the room to complete a task, what they find is as shocking as it is heartbreaking. The title novella, “The Beast You Are,” is a mini epic in which the destinies and secrets of a village, a dog, and a cat are intertwined with a giant monster that returns to wreak havoc every thirty years. A masterpiece of literary horror and psychological suspense, The Beast You Are is a fearlessly imagined collection from one of the most electrifying and innovative writers working today.

Wen, sept ans, et ses parents, Eric et Andrew, passent leurs vacances dans une cabane isolée sur un lac tranquille du New Hampshire. Aucun voisin à des kilomètres. Un après-midi, alors que Wen attrape des sauterelles dans le jardin, un étranger apparaît dans l''allée. Léonard est l''homme le plus imposant qu''elle a jamais vu, mais il est jeune, amical, et elle le trouve immédiatement sympathique. Ils discutent et jouent jusqu''à ce que ce dernier s''excuse brusquement et dise : « Rien de ce qui va se passer n''est ta faute ». Trois inconnus armés surgissent alors. Tandis que Wen se précipite dans la cabane pour prévenir ses parents, Léonard l''interpelle : « Tes pères ne voudront pas nous laisser entrer, Wen. Mais il le faut. Dis-leur qu''ils le doivent. Nous ne sommes pas venus pour vous faire du mal. Nous avons besoin de votre aide pour sauver le monde. S''il te plaît. » "Impossible de vous expliquer la puissance de ce roman sans en dévoiler le cœur. Paul Tremblay nous tient sur le fil du rasoir tout du long... et on en redemande !" - Just a Word

Cuando la pequeña Wen y sus padres se van de vacaciones a una cabaña junto a un lago recóndito, no esperan recibir visitas. Por eso resulta tan sorprendente la aparición del primer desconocido. Leonard es el hombre más corpulento que Wen ha visto jamás, pero también es tan amable que se gana su simpatía enseguida, por mucho que a la niña siempre le hayan prohibido hablar con extraños. Leonard y Wen hablan y ríen y juegan, y el tiempo pasa volando. Hasta que él dice unas misteriosas palabras: «Nada de lo que va a pasar es culpa tuya. Tú no has hecho nada malo, pero los tres vais a tener que tomar unas cuantas decisiones difíciles. Espantosas, me temo. Tus padres no querrán dejarnos entrar, Wen. Pero tendrán que hacerlo». La cabaña del fin del mundo es la nueva novela del autor de Una cabeza llena de fantasmas, una historia cargada de tensión y con un ritmo frenético sobre la supervivencia y, quizás, el fin del mundo. La productora FilmNation ha comprado sus derechos cinematográficos. Cita de reseña crítica: «Un libro extraordinario, aterrador y que invita a la reflexión». Stephen King «Tremblay consigue con destreza que sus lectores duden sobre si es real o no la oscura advertencia de Leonard a medida que va desarrollándose la espeluznante trama». The Guardian «Una novela profundamente perturbadora». Publishers Weekly «Una deslumbrante historia de supervivencia y sacrificio». Kirkus «Un thriller absorbente que te dejará con una simple pregunta: ¿qué harías tú en su lugar?». J. D. Barker

“Paul Tremblay delivers another mind-bending horror novel . . . The Pallbearers Club is a welcome casket of chills to shoulder.” – Washington Post “Uncertainty is Tremblay’s stock-in-trade. Over the last decade, he has grown from hot new thing to horror icon without compromising on his uniquely inexplicable nightmares.” – Esquire “[A] deliciously confusing thriller.” – Weekend Edition (NPR) A cleverly voiced psychological thriller from the nationally bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Survivor Song. What if the coolest girl you’ve ever met decided to be your friend? Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses. Okay, that part was a little weird. So was her obsessive knowledge of a notorious bit of New England folklore that involved digging up the dead. And there were other strange things – terrifying things – that happened when she was around, usually at night. But she was his friend, so it was okay, right? Decades later, Art tries to make sense of it all by writing The Pallbearers Club: A Memoir. But somehow this friend got her hands on the manuscript and, well, she has some issues with it. And now she’s making cuts. Seamlessly blurring the lines between fiction and memory, the supernatural and the mundane, The Pallbearers Club is an immersive, suspenseful portrait of an unusual and disconcerting relationship.

Antológia a Sötét anyag és a Wayward Pines szerzőjétől! Egy VR-játékfejlesztő egy kódolási hiba következtében létrehoz egy szuperintelligenciát. A távoli jövőben emberek kis kolóniája visszaküld a Földre egy katonát, ám a küldetés nem várt fordulatot vesz. Egy megtermékenyítéssel foglalkozó cég a főbb tulajdonságok befolyásolása mellett már különböző projekciókat is készít a szülőknek, hogy születendő gyermekük milyen életre számíthat. 2019-ben az Amazon felkérte Blake Crouchot, hogy állítson össze egy hat történetből álló sci-fi antológiát az Original Stories-sorozatuk keretében. Crouch ennek alkalmából írta meg Elhagyott part című kisregényét, valamint e mellett bemutat egy-egy izgalmas novellát a műfaj elmúlt időszakának legismertebb szerzőitől. A történetek közt egyaránt található klasszikusabb hangvételű, Philip K. Dicket felidéző írás és olyan realistább gondolatmenet is, ami akár már holnap megvalósulhat. N. K. Jemisin Szükségbőr című novelláját Hugo-díjjal tüntették ki 2020-ban, míg az Elhagyott partot várhatóan Neil Burger fogja filmre adaptálni.

Eric, Andrew e la loro adorata bambina di sette anni, Wen, stanno trascorrendo una vacanza in un cottage isolato in mezzo ai boschi del New Hampshire, sulla riva di un lago, lontano dal caos e dal chiasso della vita metropolitana, senza Internet e cellulari: un angolo di paradiso in cui regnano il silenzio e la serenità. Ma in una mattina di sole il sogno si trasforma in un incubo quando dal bosco emergono quattro sconosciuti. Leonard, un uomo gigantesco dai modi gentili e il sorriso caloroso, e i suoi tre compagni brandiscono armi inquietanti e spaventose e sono lì per portare a Eric, Andrew e Wen un messaggio ancora più inquietante e spaventoso. Mentre la famigliola si barrica in casa cercando un modo per chiedere aiuto, diventa sempre più chiaro che i quattro non se ne andranno finché non avranno ottenuto ciò per cui sono lì, una scelta impossibile, un sacrificio terribile. Nelle ore che seguono, in un crescendo di presagi apocalittici, paranoia, follia, orrore e rituali di sangue, la piccola casa alla fine del mondo diventa il cuore dell''universo, il luogo in cui si deciderà il destino di una famiglia e, forse, di tutta l''umanità.

Em coletânea inédita de contos de ficção científica, grandes nomes da literatura mostram até onde somos capazes de ir para mudar o mundo Para alguns, a tecnologia é o prenúncio do fim do mundo. Para outros, é apenas o começo de uma nova era. Renomado escritor de ficção científica, autor dos best-sellers Matéria escura e Recursão, Blake Crouch convidou grandes nomes da literatura contemporânea para traçar histórias audaciosas que mergulham nos desdobramentos que os avanços tecnológicos acarretam à humanidade. Em “Summer Frost”, Crouch traz uma trama marcante que desafia nossa noção de humanidade enquanto assistimos à obsessão de uma programadora de videogames por uma de suas personagens. “Pele de emergência”, de N. K. Jemisin, explora a missão de um soldado em visita a uma Terra abandonada. Uma viagem potencialmente sem volta, mas pelos motivos mais inesperados. Em “Arca”, Veronica Roth mostra o poder das lembranças, que, quando coletadas e reunidas, são capazes de revelar o passado e também ajudam a construir o futuro. Amor Towles surpreende em “Você chegou ao seu destino” ao mergulhar na manipulação genética quando um casal se vê diante da possibilidade de decidir a trajetória de seu futuro bebê. “A última conversa”, de Paul Tremblay, é uma narrativa repleta de suspense que nos faz questionar os limites da consciência e de nossa identidade. Já “Randomizando”, de Andy Weir, fecha a obra com uma história eletrizante envolvendo cassinos, hackers e computação quântica. De potência criativa memorável, os contos desta coletânea se pautam em temas diversos, como inteligência artificial, colonização de outros planetas, engenharia genética e programação, para nos fazer encarar o que há de mais brutal e profundamente humano em nós e em nossa sociedade. Imersos em tamanhos medos, paixões, sonhos e ambições, vem à tona a complexidade de se estabelecer limites e de realizar escolhas diante da busca pelo futuro que desejamos.

A propulsive and chillingly prescient novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award–winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts. “Absolutely riveting.” — Stephen King In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government''s emergency protocols are faltering. Dr. Ramola "Rams" Sherman, a soft-spoken pediatrician in her mid-thirties, receives a frantic phone call from Natalie, a friend who is eight months pregnant. Natalie''s husband has been killed—viciously attacked by an infected neighbor—and in a failed attempt to save him, Natalie, too, was bitten.

Paul Tremblay once again demonstrates his mastery in this chilling and all-too-plausible novel that will leave readers racing through the pages . . . and shake them to their core.

Leonard é o maior homem que Wen já viu, mas ele é jovem e amigável, e a conquista quase de imediato. Leonard e Wen conversam e brincam até Leonard de repente pedir desculpas. "Nada do que vai acontecer é culpa sua." Outros três estranhos chegam ao chalé carregando objetos não identificáveis de aparência ameaçadora. "Precisamos de sua ajuda para salvar o mundo." Assim começa uma narrativa insuportavelmente tensa e envolvente sobre paranoia, sacrifício, apocalipse e sobrevivência que se intensifica até culminar numa conclusão devastadora, na qual o destino de uma família inseparável está, possivelmente, entrelaçado ao futuro de toda a humanidade.

A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the Bram Stoker Award "One of the best collections of the 21st century." — Stephen King A chilling collection of psychological suspense and literary horror from the multiple award-winning author of the national bestseller The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts. A masterful anthology featuring nineteen pieces of short fiction, Growing Things is an exciting glimpse into Paul Tremblay’s fantastically fertile imagination. In “The Teacher,” a Bram Stoker Award nominee for best short story, a student is forced to watch a disturbing video that will haunt and torment her and her classmates’ lives. Four men rob a pawn shop at gunpoint only to vanish, one-by-one, as they speed away from the crime scene in “The Getaway.” In “Swim Wants to Know If It’s as Bad as Swim Thinks,” a meth addict kidnaps her daughter from her estranged mother as their town is terrorized by a giant monster . . . or not. Joining these haunting works are stories linked to Tremblay’s previous novels. The tour de force metafictional novella “Notes from the Dog Walkers” deconstructs horror and publishing, possibly bringing in a character from A Head Full of Ghosts, all while serving as a prequel to Disappearance at Devil’s Rock. “The Thirteenth Temple” follows another character from A Head Full of Ghosts—Merry, who has published a tell-all memoir written years after the events of the novel. And the title story, “Growing Things,” a shivery tale loosely shared between the sisters in A Head Full of Ghosts, is told here in full. From global catastrophe to the demons inside our heads, Tremblay illuminates our primal fears and darkest dreams in startlingly original fiction that leaves us unmoored. As he lowers the sky and yanks the ground from beneath our feet, we are compelled to contemplate the darkness inside our own hearts and minds.

En una noche de verano, Elizabeth Sanderson recibe una devastadora noticia: su hijo adolescente, Tommy, ha desaparecido en la espesura de un parque local, cerca del sitio popularmente conocido como la Roca del Diablo. Mientras la investigación policial se estanca, Elizabeth se sume en una pesadilla en la que a veces cree entrever la silueta fantasmagórica de su hijo... La misma que otros lugareños afirman haber visto de madrugada por la ventana. Con todo, no es hasta que empiezan a aparecer páginas arrancadas del diario de Tommy, cuyos textos esconden más de un secreto, cuando la desaparición en la Roca del Diablo se revela como un suceso verdaderamente perturbador. Paul Tremblay ganó el Premio de Novela Bram Stoker por Una cabeza llena de fantasmas, de la que Stephen King llegó a escribir que le había «matado de miedo». Con Desaparición en la Roca del Diablo vuelve a nadar entre los géneros del terror y el misterio introduciéndose en una familia y una población cuya aparente paz oculta en realidad muchas fisuras. «Una mujer valiente y desesperada se enfrenta a lo que más atemoriza a cualquier progenitor, un hijo que ha desaparecido (o al que alguien se ha llevado), en una historia sobre la maldad que resulta desgarradora y absolutamente cautivadora. Paul Tremblay escribe un tipo de terror exquisito y empático de la más alta calidad». Joe Hill, autor de Fuego y NOS4A2. «Los personajes compasivos y sus dolorosos conflictos sustituyen los estereotipos y tópicos más propios del género en una atmósfera amenazante que refleja el aislamiento y la desesperanza de una población pequeña. No cabe duda de que esta deslumbrante obra de terror va a gustar a los admiradores de Stephen King y Peter Straub». Publishers Weekly. «Esta historia cargada de tensión y de ritmo ágil, en parte misterio y en parte fábula con una pizca de pesquisas policiales, alterna puntos de vista que ofrecen tanto pistas prometedoras como momentos inquietantes. El resultado es una obra que juega con los géneros a la sombra del lector». Booklist. «Capaz de quitarte el sueño, en esta novela seguirás pensando tras pasar la última página hasta muy entrada la noche». Sarah Langan, autora de La puerta de Audrey. «Una vez más, Paul Tremblay nos regala uno de los mejores libros del año. Alimentado por una tensión que te deja sin aliento y una preciosa melancolía, Desaparición en la Roca del Diablo nos recuerda que nosotros creamos nuestros propios demonios y que los fantasmas son sólo una de las cosas que pueden perseguirnos. ¡Bravo!». Christopher Golden, autor de Joe Golem y la ciudad sumergida

Paul Tremblay’s terrifying twist to the home invasion novel—inspiration for the upcoming major motion picture from Universal Pictures “Tremblay’s personal best. It’s that good.” — Stephen King Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen, but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault.” Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: “Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world.” Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.
