Un slasher vampírico
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.
Intensity
IntensityChyna Shepherd is a twenty-six-year-old woman whose deeply troubled childhood taught her the hard rules of survival, and whose adult life has been an unrelenting struggle for self-respect and safety. Now rare trust has blossomed for Chyna into friendship with the woman whose family home she is visiting for the weekend: a farm in the Napa Valley surrounded by vineyards and hills, which Chyna can see from the guest-room window where she sits at one o'clock in the morning, fully dressed, unable to sleep. Suspicions she learned in childhood still make her uneasy in unfamiliar houses--even this one, where her closest friend is sound asleep down the hall. And in this case her most disturbing instincts prove reliable. A man has entered the house, a man who lives for one purpose: to satisfy all appetites as they arise, to immerse himself in sensation, to live without fear, remorse, or limits--to live with intensity. His name is Edgler Foreman Vess. He likes to make words with the letters from his name--GOD, DEMON, SAVE, RAGE, ANGER, FEAR, FOREVER, are just a few of them--and then makes sentences with the words. One of his favorites, GOD FEARS ME, is sometimes the last thing he whispers to his victims. Edgler Vess is a self-proclaimed "homicidal adventurer": On this night, his adventure--murdering everyone in the house--becomes Chyna's long nightmare. Trapped in Vess's deadly orbit, Chyna thinks only of getting out alive. But when she inadvertently learns the identity of Vess's intended next victim, waiting for him far from Napa Valley, Chyna is gripped with concern for this other person, who is as innocent as Chyna, and as endangered. Driven now by a sense of responsibility for another, by a purpose and meaning beyond mere self-preservation, Chyna rises to unexpected heights of courage and daring--her only hope as the threat of Edgler Foreman Vess closes in and grows more horrifying moment by moment. Intensity unfolds over the course of just twenty-four hours, but within that brief time frame, Dean Koontz gives us what is perhaps his most inventive, emotionally intricate, and terrifyingly suspenseful novel yet.
