As melhores histórias são poderosas o suficiente para fazer com que o leitor continue virando as páginas, ávido para obter respostas para a pergunta que move todos os curiosos: "o que aconteceu depois?". É uma conexão que vai muito além das restrições de gênero literário; no fim, o que importa são as histórias, e se elas são capazes de desprender o leitor da realidade para fazê-lo simplesmente imaginar. É com essa certeza inspiradora que Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias começa. Neil Gaiman, autor de Deuses Americanos, Coraline e Sandman, se uniu ao escritor de terror e ficção científica Al Sarrantonio para editar uma antologia especialmente sombria e mágica para leitores curiosos que gostam de sonhar. Eles sabem que os escritores são os criadores de um portal mágico capaz de sugar cada um de nós para seus universos particulares, e moldam mundos onde as palavras se tornam uma paleta de cores únicas capazes de ganhar vida em nossos corações, sonhos e pesadelos. Com 27 histórias que expandem e redefinem a ficção imaginativa, Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias reúne Joyce Carol Oates, Joe R. Lansdale, Jodi Picoult, Peter Straub, Chuck Palahniuk, Jeffery Deaver, Joe Hill e outros inúmeros autores renomados que toparam o desafio de transcender todo e qualquer limite ao darem vida a seus personagens e histórias de maneira afiada e intensa, cada um à sua maneira. Em "O Diabo na Escada", Joe Hill conta a história perturbadora de um homem e seu declínio ao mal. "A Verdade é uma Caverna nas Montanhas Negras", de Neil Gaiman, é um conto gelado e folclórico com um desfecho inesperado. "Figuras Fósseis", de Joyce Carol Oates, narra o implacável e poderoso elo entre irmãos gêmeos. "As Estrelas Estão Caindo", de Joe R. Lansdale, reflete sobre as mudanças na vida de um soldado da Primeira Guerra Mundial que volta para casa depois de passar anos afastado de quem ama. Em "Perdedor", Chuck Palahniuk apresenta a história do membro de uma fraternidade que participa de um programa de tv durante uma viagem de ácido. De Carolyn Parkhurst, "Indisposta" é narrado por uma mulher de idade que recorda a relação tóxica com sua irmã. Estes são apenas alguns exemplos dos tesouros escondidos nas páginas deste livro. Mas a experiência de ler Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias vai muito além disso: o livro é um verdadeiro compêndio com contos para todos os gostos e autores queridos para conhecer e revisitar. Para tornar a edição da DarkSide® Books ainda mais especial, o artista norte-americano Jason Limon emprestou seu singular talento para conectar a delicadeza e magia das palavras do livro em uma imagem poderosa. O resultado é uma edição única no mundo, feita de fã para fã, com capa dura e detalhes extraordinários. Em seu texto de abertura, Neil Gaiman ainda escreve que a magia da ficção é pegar as palavras e utilizá-las para construir novos mundos. E se viajar aumenta nossos horizontes, os destinos de Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias ― e o reino sem fronteiras da ficção imaginativa ― vão transformar sua visão de mundo.
