storia fantastica che ti terrà col fiato sospeso fino alla fine. Da quando Tom Levy è morto dodici anni prima in circostanze molto strane, Amy Campbell non è più stata la stessa. A soli trentasette anni, la sua vita è solitaria e tranquilla a Chelsea (Londra). Non lega amicizie ed evita gli uomini interessati a lei. Ricorda ancora le ultime parole di Tom... misteriose e senza senso prima di morire. Come se gli incubi e le visioni che aveva sin da bambino lo stessero avvertendo di una morte imminente. Tom la visita ancora nei sogni... cosa che complica inevitabilmente la vita di Amy. Una mattina, andando al lavoro, sente che qualcuno la segue e la osserva da lontano. Qualche giorno prima, aveva visto dalla finestra un uomo misterioso che la guardava insistentemente. La stava sorvegliando. Successivamente, riceve la chiamata inaspettata di un signore che dice di essere l'avvocato di Tom e della sua famiglia. Amy non sapeva niente della sua esistenza. Viene così informata di essere la proprietaria di una casa solitaria su una scogliera a Dingle (Irlanda), casa costruita da Tom appositamente per lei. Amy decide di andare per affrontare i demoni che la perseguitano... i suoi e quelli degli altri. Ciò che non si sarebbe mai immaginata, era che il piccolo e tranquillo paese irlandese si sarebbe trasformato in un vero e proprio incubo con l'inizio di omicidi macabri che le ricorderanno troppo il suo passato traumatico... Una storia intrigante che ti porterà fino a DOVE VIVE L'OBLIO.Zombie Games (Orígenes)

Par Emanuele Caccia. 2016
La luce non può esistere senza oscurità. Il sole non può sorgere senza che la notte lo preceda e il…
finire di ogni giorno lo vedrà sempre dissolversi nel buio. Una vita tutta rose, fiori e belle giornate soleggiate sarebbe una vita senza alcun contrasto. Un sole che non smetta mai di splendere sarebbe tanto accecante quanto distruttivo. Abbiamo bisogno dell'oscurità. È parte integrante del tutto. Fa parte di noi. I racconti dell'orrore riflettono il nostro lato più oscuro. In quest'era di paure decisamente reali e manifeste, come AIDS, cancro e terrorismo, i racconti del terrore si assumono un compito indispensabile: offrire al lettore la possibilità di provare paura in maniera controllata e affrontare l'orrore alle proprie condizioni. Se la lettura dovesse rivelarsi troppo pesante, un libro può essere chiuso quando si vuole. Cercare la paura in questo modo significa affrontare concretamente le angosce della vita moderna, alleviando così la sensazione di ansia che le accompagna. L'orrore è un'emozione che ci mantiene in contatto con i nostri lati più oscuri, dandoci modo di venire a patti con la nostra vulnerabilità e con lo spettro della morte inevitabile. Le storie dell'orrore sono una valvola di sfogo; alleviano la pressione quando questa si fa eccessiva, ma rimangono opere fantastiche, da cui possiamo allontanarci quando ci sentiamo schiacciati. Ci offrono il sollievo della catarsi senza soffocarci con qualcosa che non potremmo sopportare. Troppo spesso rifiutiamo l'esistenza del nostro lato più oscuro. Basta però metterci sul piatto Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Hannibal Lecter o altre raccapriccianti incarnazioni del lato oscuro della natura umana ed eccoci assaliti da un fascino morboso. In autostrada, non riusciamo a trattenerci dal rallentare per osservare meglio i cruenti dettagli di quella morte scomposta, né riusciamo a impedire al nostro sguardo di guizzare, con un po' di rimorso, su disgrazieA Cold Season

investigate an alleged paranormal dimension to a spate of road accidents in the sleepy village of Wychehill. Merrily is called in when two people are killed in a head-on crash that is also linked to the revamped local pub which, it seems, has injected the valley with a shattering, strobing surge of inner-city nightlife... and drugs. When a dealer is found savagely murdered below the great earthen hillfort of Herefordshire Beacon, police ask: is it a ritual killing, a gangland disposal or a cry of outrage? As Merrily and the police follow separate paths towards the truth, Merrily's teenage daughter, Jane, faces the consequences of her own obsession with a possibly prehistoric site in their home village of Ledwardine. Until, on a night of frenzied violence, in a place at the centre of an ancient, universal mystery, the final, shocking connections are made.Hello Mr. Bones & Goodbye Mr. Rat

Par Arthur Machen. 2012
From the beginning of his literary career, Machen espoused a mystical belief that the humdrum ordinary world hid a more…
mysterious and strange world beyond. His gothic and decadent works of the 1890s concluded that the lifting of this veil could lead to madness, sex, or death, and usually a combination of all three. Machen's later works became somewhat less obviously full of gothic trappings, but for him investigations into mysteries invariably resulted in life-changing transformation and sacrifice. Machen loved the medieval world view because he felt it combined deep spirituality alongside a rambunctious earthiness.DEAD IN BED by Bailey Simms: Fifty Shades of Gangrene
Par Adrian Birch. 2015
You've never, ever read a story like this. Ashley Young is stuck in an unsatisfying marriage and a dead-end job.…
But when a sexually transmitted plague breaks out in her small town--one that slowly transforms everyone infected into crazed zombielike sex fiends--everything about her life changes. Facing quarantine, National Guard barricades, the onset of winter, and a rapidly spreading, mysterious sex plague, Ashley and everyone else in her small Colorado town find their deepest feelings for one another surfacing...both amorously and violently. When everyone in Ashley's life begins taking comfort in one another's arms, no one really knows who's infected and who's not. And because the disease perpetuates itself as an aphrodisiac, sex--the very thing that offers comfort--only contributes to spreading the plague. In a crumbling world with little to lose, Ashley begins to discover a resilience she didn't know she possessed and a strength she's never had before. Her newly acquired agency may come at a price, however, when Ashley must ultimately choose between her own survival and saving the people she loves. DEAD IN BED by Bailey Simms delivers a tour-de-force series that's as emotionally incisive as it is shockingly sexy, as heartbreaking as it is hilarious, and as frightful as it is impossible to put down.The Burial of the Rats
