Die Polizei zieht Privatermittlerin Holly Gibney zurate. Ein anonymes Schreiben hat eine Mordserie angekündigt. Das erste Opfer ist eine unbescholtene Frau, in der Hand hält sie einen Zettel. Der Name darauf verweist auf eine Geschworene, die an der Verurteilung eines Unschuldigen beteiligt war, der im Gefängnis erstochen wurde. Der verrückte Täter tötet als “Sühneakt” wahllos Ersatzopfer anstelle der Geschworenen? “Die Schuldigen am Tod des Unschuldigen sollen leiden”, hieß es. Das Morden geht weiter. Während Holly fiebrig das Puzzle zusammensetzt, hat sie auch alle Hände voll damit zu tun, Anschläge auf eine Feministin abzuwehren, der sie als Personenschützerin dient. Wie zielgerichtet strebt alles auf eine einzige große Katastrophe zu.

Si te gusta la oscuridad

El nuevo lanzamiento del Rey del Terror es una colección de doce relatos que lo afianza, una vez más, como uno de los mejores narradores de nuestro tiempo. PRIMERA EDICIÓN ESPECIAL CON SOBRECUBIERTA REVERSIBLE. «¿Te gusta la oscuridad Perfecto. A mí también» es cómo inicia Stephen King el epílogo de este nuevo y magnífico volumen de doce relatos que se adentran en la parte más sombría de la vida. King lleva más de medio siglo siendo un maestro literario, y estas historias sobre el destino, la mortalidad, la suerte y los múltiples pliegos de la realidad son tan ricas y absorbentes como sus novelas. El autor escribe «para sentir la emoción de dejar atrás la rutina», y en Si te gusta la oscuridad los lectores sentirán, una y otra vez, esa misma emoción. «Dos cabrones con talento» nos revelará el secreto de cómo estos dos caballeros adquirieron sus habilidades. En «El mal sueño de Danny Coughlin», una explosión psíquica inesperada pone patas arriba la vida de docenas de personas, incluido Danny, con catastróficos resultados. «Serpientes de cascabel», secuela de la novela Cujo, nos presenta a un viudo que viaja a Florida buscando descanso y, en su lugar, se topa con una inesperada herencia… con más de una atadura. En «Los soñadores», un taciturno veterano de la guerra de Vietnam acepta un encargo y descubre que hay algunos rincones del universo que deberían quedar inexplorados. «Hombre Respuesta» nos plantea si el don de la clarividencia es una bendición o una maldición, y nos recuerda que incluso una vida marcada por la tragedia tiene significado. La habilidad del Rey del Terror para sorprender, inspirar y provocarnos tanto miedo como consuelo al mismo tiempo no tiene parangón. Cada uno de estos relatos contiene sus propios escalofríos, alegrías y misterios, y todos son icónicos

Holly

Arnaldo Ageno — Sun, 21 May 2023 11:03:04 +0000

Stephen King’s HOLLY marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.

When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case.

Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave.

But something in Penny Dahl’s desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.

Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance.

And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.

Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.

Fairy Tale

Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink.

Charlie learned how to take care of himself – and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

Charlie starts doing jobs for Mr. Bowditch and loses his heart to Radar. Then, when Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape telling a story no one would believe.

What Bowditch knows, and has kept secret all his long life, is that inside the shed is a portal to another world.

King’s storytelling in Fairy Tale soars. This is a magnificent and terrifying tale about another world than ours, in which good is pitted against overwhelming evil, and a heroic boy – and his dog – must lead the battle.

She doesn’t like it at all . . .
