Já a grande astúcia de Andrew Pyper, autor de O DEMONOLOGISTA (DarkSide® Books, 2015), é fazer até o mais cético dos leitores duvidar de suas certezas. E, se possível, evitar caminhos mal-iluminados.O personagem que dá título ao best-seller internacional é David Ullman, renomado professor da Universidade de Columbia, especializado na figura literária do Diabo – principalmente na obra-prima de John Milton, Paraíso Perdido. Para David, o Anjo Caído é apenas um ser mitológico.Ao aceitar um convite para testemunhar um suposto fenômeno sobrenatural em Veneza, David começa a ter motivos pessoais para mudar de opinião. O que seria apenas uma boa desculpa para tirar férias na Itália com sua filha de 12 anos se transforma em uma jornada assustadora aos recantos mais sombrios da alma.Enquanto corre contra o tempo, David precisa decifrar pistas escondidas no clássico Paraíso Perdido, e usar tudo o que aprendeu para enfrentar O Inominável e salvar sua filha do Inferno.Este é um daqueles livros que você não consegue largar até acabar a última página, ainda que vá precisar de muita coragem para seguir em frente. O livro ganhou o Prêmio de Melhor Romance do International Thriller Writers Award (2014), concorrendo com autores como Stephen King. Entrou em diversas listas de melhores livros de 2013, foi finalista do Shirley Jackson Award (2013) e do Sunburst Award (2014), chegou ao topo da lista dos mais vendidos do jornal canadense Globe and Mail e foi publicado em mais de uma dezena de países.O DEMONOLOGISTA chega agora aos leitores brasileiros numa luxuosa edição em capa dura como só a DarkSide® Books sabe fazer. Leia O Demonologista antes de ele chegar ao cinema, nas mãos de Robert Zemeckis, diretor de Forrest Gump (1994) e da trilogia De Volta Para o Futuro (1985-1990).

The Running ManIn the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives... Ben Richards is out of work and out of luck. His eighteen-month-old daughter is sick, and neither Ben nor his wife can afford to take her to a doctor. For a man from the poor side of town with no cash and no hope, there's only one thing to do: become a contestant on one of the Network's Games, shows where you can win more money than you've ever dreamed of—or die trying. Now Ben's going prime-time on the Network's highest-rated viewer participation show. And he's about to become a prey for the masses...

The ShiningJack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he'll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote...and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

Blockade BillyEven the most die-hard baseball fans don't know the true story of William “Blockade Billy” Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name. He was the first--and only--player to have his existence completely removed from the record books. Even his team is long forgotten, barely a footnote in the game's history. Every effort was made to erase any evidence that William Blakely played professional baseball, and with good reason. Blockade Billy had a secret darker than any pill or injection that might cause a scandal in sports today. His secret was much, much worse... and only Stephen King, the most gifted storyteller of our age, can reveal the truth to the world, once and for all. --front flap

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry AugustWildly original, funny and moving, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August is an extraordinary story of a life lived again and again from World Fantasy Award-winning author Claire North. Harry August is on his deathbed. Again. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes. Until now. As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message." This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

RoadworkBarton Dawes’ unremarkable but comfortable existence suddenly takes a turn for the worst. Highway construction puts him out of work and simultaneously forces him out of his home. Dawes isn’t the sort of man who will take an insult of this magnitude lying down. His single-minded determination to fight the inevitable course of progress drives his wife and friends away while he tries to face down the uncaring bureaucracy that has destroyed his once comfortable life.

Full Dark, No StarsIs it possible to fully know anyone? Even those we love the most? What tips someone over the edge to commit a crime? For a Nebraska farmer, the turning point comes when his wife threatens to sell off the family homestead. A cozy mystery writer plots a savage revenge after a brutal encounter with a stranger. Dave Streeter gets the chance to cure himself from illness - if he agrees to impose misery on an old rival. And Darcy Anderson discovers a box containing her husband's dark and terrifying secrets - he's not the man who keeps his nails short and collects coins. And now he's heading home . . . Like DIFFERENT SEASONS and FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT, which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, FULL DARK, NO STARS proves Stephen King a master of the long story form.

Fahrenheit 451Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic dystopian novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, decades on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

The StandDark dreams that warn of the coming of the dark man. The apostate of death, his worn-down boot heels tramping the night roads. The warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. His time is at hand. His empire grows in the west and the Apocalypse looms. When a man crashes his car into a petrol station, he brings with him the foul corpses of his wife and daughter. He dies and it doesn't take long for the virus which killed him to spread across America and the world.
