Novedad: Chalk, de Paul Cornell

Tor.com ha puesto a la venta Chalk, una novela de Paul Cornell. Esta es su sinopsis:

Paul Cornell plumbs the depths of magic and despair in Chalk, a brutal exploration of bullying in Margaret Thatcher's England. 

Andrew Waggoner has always hung around with his fellow losers at school, desperately hoping each day that the school bullies — led by Drake — will pass him by in search of other prey. But one day they force him into the woods, and the bullying escalates into something more; something unforgivable; something unthinkable. 

Broken, both physically and emotionally, something dies in Waggoner, and something else is born in its place. 

In the hills of the West Country a chalk horse stands vigil over a site of ancient power, and there Waggoner finds in himself a reflection of rage and vengeance, a power and persona to topple those who would bring him low.
