Novedad: Five Stories High, antología de novelas cortas

Ya está a la venta Five Stories High: One House, Five Hauntings, Five Chilling Stories, una antología editada por John Oliver que recoge cinco novelas cortas de terror escritas por distintos autores (K.J. Parker, Sarah Lotz, Tade Thompson, Nina Allan y Robert Shearman) pero situadas en la misma casa encantada.

Ésta es la sinopsis del libro:

‘They didn’t see the house until they were practically on top of it. A single building emerging from the dark. It didn’t look welcoming. But the front door was open. The door was wide open.’ 

Irongrove Lodge – a building with history; the very bricks and grounds imbued with the stories of those who have walked these corridors, lived in these rooms. These are the tales of an extraordinary house, a place that straddles our world and whatever lies beyond; a place that some are desperate to discover, and others to flee. At one time an asylum, at another a care home, sometimes simply a home. 

The residents of Irongrove Lodge will learn that this house will change them, that the stories told here never go away. Of all who enter, only some will leave. 

Multi-award-winning editor Jonathan Oliver has brought together five extraordinary writers to open the doors, revealing ghosts both past and present in a collection as intriguing as it is terrifying. Along with a linking narrative, this collection features five novellas by Nina Allan, Tade Thompson, K.J. Parker, Robert Shearman and Sarah Lotz.

Dos ebooks de Lily Herne en oferta

Además de la muy atractiva oferta que publicábamos esta mañana, en Amazon hay algunos otros ebooks en promoción. De entre ellos, quiero destacar las dos primeras partes de la trilogía Deadlands de Lily Herne (nombre de pluma de las escritoras sudafricanas Sarah y Savannah Lotz, que además son madre e hija). El tema, en principio, no me resulta atractivo (novela juvenil y de zombies), pero creo que las compraré ya que vienen recomendadas por Lauren Beukes.

Estas son las sinopsis de los libros, junto con los enlaces a las ofertas en Amazon:

Deadlands

Since the apocalypse, Cape Town's suburbs have become zombie-infested Deadlands. Human survivors are protected from the living dead by sinister, shrouded figures - the Guardians. In return, five teenagers are 'chosen' and handed over to them for a mysterious purpose: this year, Lele de la Fontein's name is picked. 

But Lele will not stick around and face whatever shady fate the Guardians have in store for her. She escapes, willing to take her chances in the Deadlands. 

Alone, exiled and unable to return home, she runs into a misfit gang of renegade teens: Saint, a tough Batswana girl; Ginger, a wise-cracking Brit; and handsome Ash, a former child soldier. Under their tutelage, Lele learns how to seriously destroy zombies and together they uncover the corruption endemic in Cape Town, and come to learn the sickening truth about the Guardians . . .

Death of a Saint

Lele, Ginger, Ash and Saint - aka the Mall Rats - are hiding out in the Deadlands, a once-prosperous area of Cape Town, now swarming with the living dead. Exiled from the city enclave for crimes against the Resurrectionist State, the Rats face a stark choice: return and risk capture - or leave Cape Town and go in search of other survivors.

But what if the rest of South Africa is nothing but a zombie-riddled wasteland? Now Lele has discovered the truth about why the lurching dead leave them alone, she can't bring herself to tell the rest of the gang. And she's not the only Mall Rat harbouring a dangerous secret . . . Can the friends' survive on the road if all they have is each other? Or will their secrets tear them apart?
