A menina submersa
A menina submersaA Menina Submersa: Memórias é um verdadeiro conto de fadas, uma história de fantasmas habitada por sereias e licantropos. Mas antes de tudo uma grande história de amor construída como um quebra-cabeça pós-moderno, uma viagem através do labirinto de uma crescente doença mental. Um romance repleto de camadas, mitos e mistério, beleza e horror, em um fluxo de arquétipos que desafiam a primazia do "real" sobre o "verdadeiro" e resultam em uma das mais poderosas fantasias dark dos últimos anos. Considerado uma "obra-prima do terror" da nova geração, o romance é repleto de elementos de realismo mágico e foi indicado a mais de cinco prêmios de literatura fantástica, e vencedor do importante Bram Stoker Awards 2013. O trabalho cuidadoso de Caitlín R. Kiernan é nos guiar pela mente de sua personagem India Morgan Phelps, ou Imp, uma menina que tem nos livros os grandes companheiros na luta contra seu histórico genético esquizofrênico e paranoico. Filha e neta de mulheres que buscaram o suicídio como única alternativa, Imp começa a escrever um livro de memórias para tentar reconstruir seus pensamentos e lutar contra o que seria "a maldição da família Phelps", além de buscar suas lembranças sobre a inusitada Eva Canning, sua relação com a namorada e consigo mesma, que evoca em muitos momentos a atmosfera de filmes como Azul é a Cor mais Quente (Palma de Ouro em Cannes, 2013) e Almas Gêmeas (1994), de Peter Jackson. Não se assuste: é um livro dentro de um livro, e a incoerência uma isca para uma viagem mais profunda, onde a autora se aproxima de grandes nomes como Edgar Allan Poe e HP Lovecraft, que enxergaram o terror em um universo simples e trivial - na rua ao lado ou nas plácidas águas escuras do rio que passa perto de casa - , e sabem que o medo real nos habita. Caitlín dialoga ainda com o universo insólito de artistas como P.G.

Tillinghast
TillinghastStutley Tillinghast lives a solitary life, ostensibly as the minister of a remote rural parish in Rhode Island. For many decades now, what little human contact he’s allowed himself has been brief, frenzied and bloody, and has always ended in a shallow grave in his cellar. There’s a name for what he is, but he prefers not to use it: it is simple enough that he has his needs, and that when they become unbearable, he fulfils them. In his long and lonely life, he has met only one other like him—the woman he still yearns for, the one who made him what he is. Then a girl arrives, searching for him. She has his last name, and bears an uncanny resemblance to that woman, awakening memories Tillinghast had long suppressed; the connection he feels for her is immediate and overwhelming. She’s also sick, very sick, with symptoms Tillinghast recognizes all too well...and only he knows how to cure her. Inspired by the real events of the New England vampire panic of the nineteenth century, Tillinghast is a novel to sink your teeth at once a gripping, atmospheric horror that turns the classic monster narrative on its head; a literary work of exceptional prose about giving into--or resisting--our impulses; and a remarkably moving father-daughter story that will leave you unexpectedly hopeful—and rooting, despite your every instinct, for the killers.

Humboldt Cut
Humboldt CutEstranged from her brother James and his wife Tilly, who was once her best friend, Jas has chosen self-isolation to protect herself—even if it means denying herself a hopeful future with co-worker and potential love interest Henry Lewis. When her godmother dies, Jas returns to Redceder for the funeral, a logging town where her grandfather William Whipple made a living deforesting the countryside, ripping and raping apart nature’s very foundations for corporate profits. As trees fell to axes and chainsaws, so did dozens of lumberjacks, falling prey to the dangers of their job—and to the ecoterrorism of Jas’s grandfather who was lynched for his crimes. And buried in the haunted woods are even more dark secrets perpetrated by Jas’s family. Unnatural acts giving birth to entities made of human flesh and petrified bark, seeking to avenge the devastation that ravaged their land. It is an inheritance that threatens to consume the remnants of Jas’s family, and her very sanity. . . Celebrated comedy writer Allison Mick’s Humboldt Cut exposes the traumatic costs of environmental destruction in an energetic, darkly humorous horror adventure that combines the botanical terrors of VanderMeer’s Annihilation and the psychological horror of The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones with a dash of Jordan Peele.
