Four chilling tales from the New York Times-bestselling author of Swan Song and the "true master of the Gothic novel" (Booklist). From rural Alabama to the Louisiana bayou to the North Carolina mountains, World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Robert R. McCammon has made the American South his own Gothic playground in these four unforgettable novels. A Boy's Life: "Strongly echoing the childhood-elegies of King and Bradbury, and every bit their equal," McCammon's World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Award-winning novel takes place in 1964 Alabama, where a twelve-year-old boy's idyllic life takes an abrupt turn into a dark world of mystery when he and his father witness a car roll into a lake--only to discover a corpse handcuffed to the steering wheel (Kirkus Reviews). "It's McCammon's The Prince of Tides. . . . Incredibly moving." --Peter Straub Mystery Walk: Two boys with mysterious powers--a psychic who speaks with the dead and a faith healer--share a common bond and hold mankind's fate in their hands in an epic showdown of good versus evil. "As finely a turned tale of horror as the best of them." --Houston Chronicle Gone South: A veteran's moment of rage leads to a grisly murder and a heated chase deep into the bayou, where he encounters a pair of bizarre bounty hunters--and a strange new friend, who might help him find redemption. "A gothic picaresque that mixes gritty plot and black comedy." --The Wall Street Journal Usher's Passing: Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale, "The Fall of the House of Usher," is no fiction in this Gothic novel of ancestral madness in the mountains of modern-day North Carolina, as the heir to the Usher legacy--a horror novelist--confronts his terrifying inheritance. "A frightening pleasure." --St. Louis Dispatch Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
