Michael Blumlein

When Michael Blumlein's debut collection The Brains of Rats (1990) first appeared, it marked the arrival of a major new talent, earning widespread acclaim from mainstream critics as well as genre stalwarts Peter Straub, Harlan Ellison, Pat Cadigan and many others. In the World Fantasy Award-nominated title story, a geneticist conflicted over his own sexuality, and the nature of male and female gender roles in general, proposes a drastic solution. The politically charged "Tissue Ablation and Variant Regeneration: A Case Report" describes in chilling detail a surgeon's evisceration of President Ronald Reagan. In "Bestseller," a struggling novelist unable to sell his books must sell something else unthinkably horrific in order to provide for his family. In these and the nine other startlingly original stories in this collection, Blumlein blurs the boundaries between horror, science fiction and fantasy, creating a strange and nightmarish world not unlike our own, where nothing is what it seems. This new edition features an introduction by bestselling horror novelist and screenwriter Michael McDowell. "Michael Blumlein is something new, a real original. I think he will have a great impact on the horror field, but I don't think anybody is going to be able to imitate him." - Peter Straub "Blumlein has an exceptional vision, and he conveys it with exceptional talent." - Washington Post "Blumlein's first collection signals the appearance of a major talent on the horror scene. Subtle and chilling." - Publishers Weekly "Blumlein is a powerful and highly original voice. He writes like his soul's on ice. Disturbing stuff. More please " - Joe R. Lansdale "The Brains of Rats is blindingly brilliant. Blumlein is beyond any genre, a genuinely great writer." - Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love "This is not a book for everyone. Only those who delight in splendid, original thinking and rich, pyrotechnical language need apply.... Mr. Blumlein carves enigmas and fabulous dark surprises from the magic mountain of his imagination." - Harlan Ellison "I didn't read these stories, I hallucinated them. I dare anyone to read Blumlein's work and come out the other side unchanged." - Pat Cadigan "Blumlein is an eclectic and daring writer, using experimental techniques and fragmented narrative to achieve spectacular results. The stories here are all disturbing and they all work - no small accomplishment for experimental fiction." - Locus

The Brains of Rats (Valancourt 20th Century Classics)

"Perdido, 1928. Alors que le clan Caskey se déchire dans la guerre intestine et sans merci que se livrent Mary-Love et sa belle-fille, et que d'autres crises -- conjugales, économiques, existentielles -- aux répercussions défiant l'imagination se profilent, dans les recoins sombres de la maison d'Elinor, la plus grande de la ville, les mauvais souvenirs rôdent et tissent, implacables, leurs toiles mortelles."--Éditeur.

Blackwater

The elementals

Blackwater is the saga of a small town, Perdido, Alabama, and Elinor Dammert, the stranger who arrives there under mysterious circumstances on Easter Sunday, 1919. On the surface, Elinor is gracious, charming, anxious to belong in Perdido, and eager to marry Oscar Caskey, the eldest son of Perdido's first family. But her beautiful exterior hides a shocking secret. Beneath the waters of the Perdido River, she turns into something terrifying, a creature whispered about in stories that have chilled the residents of Perdido for generations. Some of those who observe her rituals in the river will never be seen again ... Originally published as a series of six volumes in 1983, Blackwater is the crowning achievement of Michael McDowell, author of the Southern Gothic classics Cold Moon Over Babylon and The Elementals and screenwriter of Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas. This first-ever one-volume edition, with a new introduction by Shirley Jackson Award-winning author Nathan Ballingrud, marks Blackwater's first appearance in print in three decades and will allow a new generation of readers to discover this modern horror classic.

The Complete Saga

Anno di Grazia 1882. New York festeggia il nuovo anno tra opulenza e miseria. Dalla sua dimora di Gramercy Park, il cinico giudice James Stallworth, affiancato dal figlio e dal genero, lancia la sua crociata: ripulire il famigerato Triangolo Nero, quartiere di bettole, bordelli, fumerie d’oppio e botteghe di ricettatori, su cui regna la feroce Black Lena Shanks col suo clan di donne versate nelle arti della crudeltà. Ma la sete di potere degli Stallworth dovrà misurarsi con la furia vendicatrice di Black Lena. «Accattivante, terrificante e assolutamente geniale.. Chi ha letto gli altri libri di Michael McDowell amerà anche Gli aghi d’oro. È profondamente gratificante lasciarsi trasportare da un romanziere all’apice delle sue capacità». STEPHEN KING «Gli aghi d’oro è uno di quei romanzi che devi solo divorare, uno di quei romanzi impossibili da lasciare andare che, una volta digeriti, ti lasciano il sapore delle potenti tematiche intrecciate a una storia impeccabile». MARIANA ENRÍQUEZ
