Mis Bellos Monstruos: La Serie Completa
Par Jb Trepagnier. 2023
Siempre he podido hablar con los animales. Al parecer, también puedo oír a los monstruos. Hades me secuestró. Sí, ese…
Hades. La mitología griega es real y estoy aprendiendo que los dioses son unos auténticos capullos. Tengo la tarea de cuidar a los monstruos en el Inframundo. Sí, Deméter está cabreada por lo de Perséfone. Secuestró a su hija y hace que los monstruos peleen por deporte. Perséfone es muy feliz en el Inframundo según el perro mascota de Hades... que tiene tres cabezas y es un poco bobo. He conocido a un Kraken, un Minotauro, un Fénix y una araña Viuda Negra. También he conocido a Hefesto, el Dios de la Forja, que ha sido maltratado por su familia. Francamente, estoy harta de que estos dioses piensen que pueden hacer daño a todo el mundo. He descubierto por qué puedo oír animales y monstruos. Y voy a por ellos.Legacy (Blood Tie)
Par E. M. Cubas. 2023
What if the myths about vampires had a real origin? Legacy (blood Bond, #1) Ivan could not have known that…
one day the strange family inheritance would knock at his door and that, what he believed to be his grandfather's ravings, contained a bond beyond blood, beyond family, beyond time. What to do with a legacy in the form of an ancestor more than 3,000 years old? Velkan woke up in a new century, in a new society, with a new family, but with the same bloodlust, an instinct that kept him alive since he was born and that even Van Helsing could not defeat. Tired of seeing how all his life they had killed and desecrated the bodies of his family because of his nature, tired of the struggles for his protection, unable to see himself loved and fed up of being called a monster, strigoi, vampire or dracul, he decided to put an end to his existence, without getting it. When Velkan and Ivan meet, something more than the inherited family bond is created between them and they begin to trust each other. Velkan will tell you about his time in history by telling you about the age of metals in which he was born, about Vlad III, the Impaler, and will show you what really happened in London in the years of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Will Velkan finally be able to find his place? Can he stop them from thinking he's a vampire? An original and different revision of the legends of vampires, the folklore that exists about them and archaeology, a twist on the myth that will surprise you.Satanic Memories: Satanic Memories
Par Daniel Canals Flores. 2024
I like writing within the horror genre because it allows you to merge reality and fantasy relatively easily. This compilation…
contains some new texts and others, published in various literary media, with a common link: evil, both human and supernatural. In “Evil Escape” we will witness an incredible escape and subsequent revenge. “In nomine” is a tribute to diabolical possession set in the Middle Ages. In “The Infernal Cube” we will penetrate the human psyche and descend into hell itself. “The Revolution” is a disturbing story that will show us another perspective on evil. “The Apocryphal Phantasm Screenplay” is a parody about this fantastic horror film saga, from the late 70s. “The Last Christmas” represents the antithesis of the Christmas holidays, with a different perspective. “Birth” is a short but intense story. In “The Extraordinary Case of Susan Malcolm” we will learn the secrets of voodoo and its lethal consequences and in “Sanatorium La Chapelle” we will experience a curious rescue in a machiavellian place. I hope you enjoy reading this book, as much as I did writing it.Incompatible: Una novela de magia del caos

series. Tessa Miyata has never fit in. When she and her two sisters are told they will be staying at their grandparents in Japan, Tessa is thrilled. A summer in Japan could be her chance to go on an adventure worthy of impressing her classmates back home. Her hopes are quickly dashed when, all too soon, she realizes that life in Japan is just like being in California: her sisters are old enough to go into Tokyo, while she can&’t even go to the corner store by herself. Plus, her grandparents want her to stay home with the neighbor kid, thirteen-year-old Jin Uehara, who&’s made it clear he&’s too cool to spend time with a weirdo like her. When Tessa is finally allowed to go to Tokyo, it&’s only to join her grandpa&’s retiree aerobic class with none other than Jin. Their disastrous forced hang out comes crashing to a halt when Tessa and Jin break the Miyata family&’s precious heirloom—accidentally releasing the malicious samurai god Taira Masakado and discovering a hidden part of the city where gods and mythological creatures walk among humans—including their new companion, a mythical nine-tailed fox who may be more trouble than he is help. Despite doing everything to avoid spending another minute together, Tessa and Jin must now work together to stop Taira Masakado before he traps them—and the rest of Tokyo—under his command, forever.

Two sisters are trapped on opposite sides of reality in this entrancing and deeply moving debut novel that weaves together a…
contemporary narrative with a parallel fantasy world. One year ago, a tragic car accident killed 22-year-old Laine&’s parents and left her 18-year-old sister, Alyssa, paralyzed and nonverbal. Now—instead of studying animal nutrition or competing as one of the few equestrians of color—Laine is struggling with predatory banks, unscrupulous health care organizations, and rude customers at the coffee shop where she works. That&’s why when Lake Forest Adult Day Center offers to take care of Alyssa, free of charge, Laine is relieved. Alyssa isn't relieved, though. After all, in her mind, there was never a car accident. Instead, she and her parents—the king and queen of Mirendal—were attacked one year ago in the forest, her parents kidnapped while she was cursed, and now must spend her days in Lake Forest's Home for Changels—a temple caring for mortals such as herself. Perhaps there, she could meet other changels who show her how to embrace her new life. However, there is a dark prince at Lake Forest, one who has taken a peculiar interest in not only Alyssa but her sister as well. And while Laine struggles to make ends meet on an everyday basis, Alyssa finds herself leading a battle that threatens to destroy not only her and her sister but their entire kingdom.
