Un slasher vampírico«Vamos, Stu, no seas tan cuadriculado. Aquí no hay reglas. Ni John Carpenter, que ha tocado los dos subgéneros, se ha atrevido a fusionarlos. Rompe tu puto esquema y crea tus propias normas. ¡Qué coño, hemos creado un nuevo género de terror!» Ha pasado un año desde «la matanza de El Casquillo», como titulan el suceso los medios de comunicación. Jill y Stu pretenden comenzar una nueva vida en Alicante, pero tendrán que volver a coger los cuchillos cuando descubren que un famoso asesino apodado «el asesino del Videoclub» ronda el barrio donde residen. Las reglas del slasher indican que está buscando a los últimos supervivientes de El Casquillo… sin saber que son los mismos que cometieron los asesinatos. El asesino del Videoclub ha llegado a Alicante siguiendo la pista de unos cazavampiros que a punto estuvieron de acabar con él y no dudará en abalanzarse sobre cualquiera para alimentarse, incluyendo a los únicos supervivientes de «la matanza de El Casquillo». Parece sencillo, pero no imagina que ese par de adolescentes bobalicones son los autores de la masacre. Cuando los caminos de ambos se encuentren, tendrán que dejar a un lado sus diferencias y crear una extraña alianza para hacerle frente a un enemigo mucho más poderoso que ellos. Deberán destruir los esquemas y reglas que creen conocer si quieren sobrevivir. BLOODBUSTER ofrece frescura, ritmo rápido, toques de investigación y de humor negro y un remarcado metalenguaje que satisfará a cualquier amante del terror y, en concreto, del slasher. Funciona a modo de spin-off de SLASH: Diario de dos asesinos novatos, escrito por Alex Marsalo, y un crossover con el asesino del Videoclub, protagonista de dos relatos de El coleccionista de miedos 2, de Javi Serrano.

Hace años, un trágico incidente destruyó la amistad de un grupo de jóvenes y convirtió aquel campamento de verano en un recuerdo que todos juraron enterrar para siempre. Pero el pasado nunca permanece oculto.

Porque alguien los espera entre los árboles. Alguien que conoce la verdad. Alguien a quien llaman el Scout.

Después de leerlo, no volverás a mirar un campamento de verano de la misma manera.

The Creed Falls MassacresA town divided. An unknowable evil. Actually, make that two evils.

With tensions between factions reaching their peak on the anniversary of the massacre, a new threat emerges, as well as a very old one. A strange meteor crashes on the outskirts of town, transforming townsfolk into hideous mutated monsters. Meanwhile, an old foe is somehow resurrected at the site of the old campground, the Silver Fox.

The Angel of Indian LakeA National Bestseller The final installment in the most lauded trilogy in the history of horror novels picks up four years after Don’t Fear the Reaper as Jade returns to Proofrock, Idaho, to build a life after the years of sacrifice—only to find the Lake Witch is waiting for her in New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones’s finale. It’s been four years in prison since Jade Daniels last saw her hometown of Proofrock, Idaho, the day she took the fall, protecting her friend Letha and her family from incrimination. Since then, her reputation, and the town, have changed dramatically. There’s a lot of unfinished business in Proofrock, from serial killer cultists to the rich trying to buy Western authenticity. But there’s one aspect of Proofrock no one wants to confront…until Jade comes back to town. The curse of the Lake Witch is waiting, and now is the time for the final stand. New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones has crafted an epic horror trilogy of generational trauma from the Indigenous to the townies rooted in the mountains of Idaho. It is a story of the American west written in blood.

Don't Fear the ReaperDecember 12th, 2019, Jade returns to the rural lake town of Proofrock the same day as convicted Indigenous serial killer Dark Mill South escapes into town to complete his revenge killings, in this riveting sequel to My Heart Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author, Stephen Graham Jones. Four years after her tumultuous senior year, Jade Daniels is released from prison right before Christmas when her conviction is overturned. But life beyond bars takes a dangerous turn as soon as she returns to Proofrock. Convicted Serial Killer, Dark Mill South, seeking revenge for thirty-eight Dakota men hanged in 1862, escapes from his prison transfer due to a blizzard, just outside of Proofrock, Idaho. Dark Mill South’s Reunion Tour began on December 12th, 2019, a Thursday. Thirty-six hours and twenty bodies later, on Friday the 13th, it would be over. Don’t Fear the Reaper is the page-turning sequel to My Heart Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones.

My Heart Is a ChainsawIn her quickly gentrifying rural lake town Jade sees recent events only her encyclopedic knowledge of horror films could have prepared her for in this latest chilling novel that “will give you nightmares. The good kind, of course” (BuzzFeed) from the Jordan Peele of horror literature, Stephen Graham Jones. “Some girls just don’t know how to die…” Shirley Jackson meets Friday the 13th in My Heart Is a Chainsaw, written by the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians Stephen Graham Jones, called “a literary master” by National Book Award winner Tananarive Due and “one of our most talented living writers” by Tommy Orange. Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life. Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.
