Dieses Buch ist großartig und brillant geschrieben.« Peter Straub: »Rio Youers ist eines der aufregendsten jungen Talente dieser Dekade. Er schreibt wundervoll poetisch und hat ein instinktives Gespür für die Momente, in denen der Autor zeigen muss, dass er seinen Verstand beisammenhat, während seine Leser ihren verlieren.« Michael Rowe: »In jeder Generation gibt es Schriftsteller, die es schaffen, die Seelen ihrer Figuren zu enthüllen und gleichzeitig die Geheimnisse in den Herzen der Leser offenzulegen. Rio Youers ist ein solcher Schriftsteller, und Westlake Soul – mit all seinem Leid und Schrecken, seiner Schönheit und seinem Zauber und Trost – ist ein solcher Roman: ein Klassiker von einer unvergesslichen, neuen Stimme.« Mindi, Goodreads.com: »Dieses Buch verändert dich. Es verändert, wie du die Welt, dein Leben und die Menschen um dich herum siehst. Es ist wunderschön und lustig und herzzerreißend und so echt. Dieses Buch ist großartig und brillant geschrieben.« Holly (The Grimdragon), Goodreads.com: »Wie beschreibt man ein Buch wie Westlake Soul? Man kann es nicht. Es ist ein Buch, das erlebt und nicht erklärt werden muss. Es ist Magie, die den Text erfüllt, aber die wahre Magie ist ... das Leben.«

È una notte agitata quando, nel carcere femminile di dooling, una delle detenute Annuncia con urla strazianti l''arrivo della regina nera. Per il dottor norcross, lo Psichiatra della prigione, è routine: un sedativo dovrebbe sistemare tutto. Per sua moglie lila, lo sceriffo della cittadina, è un presagio di morte.

De la pluma del autor superventas Owen King llega una novedad de fantasía dickensiana en la que los gatos son considerados dioses, los ladrones son nobles, los académicos son radicales y los conjugadores son los criminales más magníficos que puedas imaginar. Es un libro tan mágico como político, y está escrito con una hermosa destreza. - Neil Gaiman Mitad cuento de hadas y mitad relato de una revolución, El museo de Owen King está lleno de humor astuto, sensualidad y extravagancia. - Holly Black ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From New York Times bestselling author Owen King, who "writes with witty verve" (Entertainment Weekly) comes a "richly imagined" (The New York Times) Dickensian fantasy of illusion and charm where cats are revered as religious figures, thieves are noble, scholars are revolutionaries, and conjurers are the most wonderful criminals you can imagine. It begins in an unnamed city nicknamed "the Fairest", it is distinguished by many things from the river fair to the mountains that split the municipality in half; its theaters and many museums; the Morgue Ship; and, like all cities, but maybe especially so, by its essential unmappability. Dora, a former domestic servant at the university has a secret desire--to understand the mystery of her brother''s death, believing that the answer lies within The Museum of Psykical Research, where he worked when Dora was a child. With the city amidst a revolutionary upheaval, where citizens like Robert Barnes, her lover and a student radical, are now in positions of authority, Dora contrives to gain the curatorship of the half-forgotten museum only to find it all but burnt to the ground, with the neighboring museums oddly untouched. Robert offers her one of these, The National Museum of the Worker. However, neither this museum, nor the street it is hidden away on, nor Dora herself, are what they at first appear to be. Set against the backdrop of an oddly familiar and wondrous city on the verge of collapse, Dora''s search for the truth will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the edge of worlds.

UNA CITTÀ SENZA NOME. UN MISTERO DA SVELARE. UN RACCONTO AI CONFINI DELL''IMMAGINAZIONE A prima vista, il mondo non è cambiato affatto: i tram sui viali, i grandi alberghi, i caffè pieni di gente. I ragazzi in strada giocano ancora sui due grandi ponti che dividono la città, e i più snob continuano ad avventurarsi sulla Nave Obitorio in cerca di una serata divertente. Eppure, basta una scintilla per innescare una rivolta. Per la giovane Dora, che lavora all''Università Nazionale, è giunta finalmente l''occasione per fare un passo decisivo. Inizia a uscire con Robert, uno studente dalle idee radicali, ed è finalmente libera di indagare su ciò che suo fratello Ambrose potrebbe aver visto alla Società per la Ricerca Psichica prima di morire. Ma è un altro l''edificio di cui Dora è incaricata di occuparsi: il Museo Nazionale del Lavoratore. Questa strana costruzione dimenticata da tutti, che pullula di inquietanti statue in cera di minatori, infermieri, negozianti e altre figure assolutamente realistiche, nasconde un mistero. Mentre fuori la rivoluzione e la controrivoluzione scatenano forze oscure, inaspettate e terrificanti, Dora si avventura fino ai confini del mondo in cerca di una verità taciuta troppo a lungo.

And from which they might not want to wake. In the real world of Dooling, West Virginia, Lila''s husband, beleaguered prison psychiatrist Clint Norcross, is struggling. He''s trying to protect the woman called Eve Black from the ill-thought-out actions of increasingly desperate men. But Eve, as the only woman capable of waking up, has her own plans: a test with global consequences. A test Clint will have to pass if he ever hopes to see his wife again.

A surreal and colorful world populated with two-faced talk-show hosts, cheerful Finnish mobsters, bloodthirsty white supremacists, snide English butlers, and panther-wielding Euro-trash assassins. Down-on-his-luck rideshare driver Jerry Hauser’s existence is a bleak one…especially because every fare he picks up tells him how much he looks like uber-successful self-help guru Darren Hart. But after a twist of fate, Jerry is given the chance of a lifetime…which, if he’s not careful, may well end his lifetime. So begins this California noir—a rollicking and gleefully lurid pulp crime story for our time.
