La caja de botones de Gwendy (Trilogía La caja de botones de Gwendy 1)

release date: Nov 08, 2018
La caja de botones de Gwendy (Trilogía La caja de botones de Gwendy 1)
Adéntrate en el inquietante mundo de Gwendy de la mano de Stephen King y Richard Chizmar. La pequeña ciudad de Castle Rock, en Maine, ha sido testigo de algunos extraños sucesos, pero solo hay una historia que no se ha contado... hasta ahora. Existen tres vías para llegar a Castle View desde la ciudad de Castle Rock: por la carretera 117, por Pleasant Road y por las Escaleras de los Suicidios. Cada día del verano de 1974, Gwendy Peterson, de doce años de edad, toma el camino de las escaleras, que ascienden en zigzag por la ladera rocosa. Pero un día, al llegar a lo alto, mientras recupera el aliento con la cara roja y las manos apoyadas sobre las rodillas, un desconocido la llama. Allí, en un banco a la sombra, se sienta un hombre vestido con una chaqueta negra y un sombrero. Y no tardará en llegar el día en el que Gwendy tenga pesadillas con ese sombrero... La crítica ha dicho... «Esta novela sobre el fin de la infancia mezcla un tono dulce con otro más amenazante... La historia brilla especialmente cuando se hace preguntas universales: ¿Cuánto de lo que pasa en nuestras vidas es fruto de nuestras acciones y no el resultado de fuerzas impredecibles? ¿Y cuánto poder tenemos cualquiera de nosotros para salvar el mundo... o destruirlo? Los lectores devorarán esta estimulante historia.» Booklist «Una joya de pequeño tamaño pero llena de fuerza.» Publishers Weekly «Una fábula para un mundo que se vuelve más loco cada día.» Washington Post «Una lectura muy entretenida que nunca pierde su impulso inicial.» USA Today

Halloween Carnival Volume 5
Richard Chizmar, Lisa Tuttle, Norman Prentiss, Kevin Quigley, and Peter Straub unmask monsters hiding in plain sight in an anthology of heart-pounding short fiction assembled by horror author and editor Brian James Freeman. DEVIL’S NIGHT by Richard Chizmar You’ve read about what happened that night. What you don’t know is the true extent of the damage. The papers got it wrong—and the truth is so much worse than you thought. THE LAST DARE by Lisa Tuttle Elaine hasn’t been back to her hometown in years. The house she lived in is gone. The tower house isn’t—nor are the stories of the fate that befalls whoever dares to go there. THE HALLOWEEN BLEED by Norman Prentiss People think there’s some sort of mystical power that allows enchantments and witchcraft to come to life on Halloween night. But real magic obeys no calendar—and true evil strikes whenever it’s least expected. SWING by Kevin Quigley In Hollywood, everyone lives forever. At least that’s what I used to think . . . before Jessica. But no one seems to live long when they’re around me. PORK PIE HAT by Peter Straub When it comes to jazz, there are players, and there are legends. “Hat” was a legend. His real name didn’t even matter. Still, he had his secrets—secrets best left buried in the past. Praise for Halloween Carnival Volume 5 “This miniature cavalcade of spine-tingling and thought-provoking horrors lives up to its name and is the perfect Halloween treat.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Gwendy's Button Box

release date: Aug 07, 2017
Gwendy's Button Box
Stephen King teams up with long-time friend and award-winning author Richard Chizmar for the first time in this original, chilling novella that revisits the mysterious town of Castle Rock. There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974, twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong—if time-rusted—iron bolts and zig-zag up the precarious cliffside. Then one day when Gwendy gets to the top of Castle View, after catching her breath and hearing the shouts of kids on the playground below, a stranger calls to her. There on a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat, and a white shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small, neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat… The little town of Castle Rock, Maine has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told—until now.

La notte del diavolo
RACCONTO LUNGO HORROR - Sprangate le porte durante la Notte del Diavolo, perché è allora che sono in giro i veri mostri. Cominciò tutto in un gelido venerdì notte di ottobre. Era la notte precedente ad Halloween, quella che da sempre veniva chiamata la Notte del Diavolo, quando eravamo bambini e nel nostro cuore Halloween era secondo soltanto al Natale. Se non altro, i giornali azzeccarono almeno "questo". Il giorno, intendo. Quanto al resto, non scrissero una sola cosa giusta di ciò che resta della storia. Io c''ero, quella notte. Lasciate che vi dica cosa è successo "davvero"... Richard Chizmar è il fondatore e il direttore della Cemetery Dance Publications e della rivista horror "Cemetery Dance". Ha curato ed editato dozzine di antologie, incluse: "The Best of Cemetery Dance", "The Earth Strikes Back", "Night Visions 10", "October Dreams" (con Robert Morrish), e la serie "The Shivers". Insieme a Jonathon Schaech ha fondato la casa di produzione Chesapeake Films, firmando sceneggiature cinematografiche e televisive per United Artists, Showtime, Sony Screen Gems, Lions Gate, NBC e molte altre case di produzione. Tra i progetti più importanti di adattamento, ricodiamo: "From a Buick 8" dall''omonimo romanzo di Stephen King, "The Hour Before Dark" tratto dal romanzo di Douglas Clegg, "Black House" firmato da Stephen King e Peter Straub e alcuni episodi di "Masters of Horror" trasmessi da Showtime e di "Fear Itself" andati in onda su NBC.

Kouzelné pírko pro Gwendy

Kouzelné pírko pro Gwendy
Poslední zimní bouře nepřinesla do malého mainského městečka Castle Rock jenom chlad. Šerif Norris Ridgewick a jeho tým zoufale pátrají po dvou pohřešovaných dívkách. Sedmatřicetiletá Gwendy Petersonová žije ve Washingtonu a už dávno to není rozpačitá dospívající dívka, která kdysi trávila léto běháním po Sebevražedných schodech v Castle Rocku. Tajemný cizinec v černém obleku jí tehdy svěřil neobvyklou krabičku, jež nabízela drobné dárky, ale její použití mělo přímo katastrofální následky. Když se pro krabičku vrátil, slíbil, že už ji Gwendy nikdy neuvidí. Gwendy o krabičce nikdy nikomu neřekla – ani svému manželovi. Jednoho dne se ale krabička znovu objeví. Gwendy se vrací do rodného města a čas na záchranu dívek se krátí...

Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy

Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy
Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy je dalším Kingovým dílem situovaným do fiktivního maineského městečka Castle Rock. Tentokrát se však, na rozdíl od těch ostatních, jedná o poměrně krátkou novelu, napsanou navíc ve spolupráci s Richardem Chizmarem. Na začátku příběhu je Gwendy 12 let. Je to bystrá holčička, která má problémy s nadváhou, s nimiž se dokáže svou vůlí a kázní vypořádat. Jednoho dne ji v parku osloví záhadný černě oděný muž, který jí z neznámých důvodů dá jedinečný a nebezpečný dárek – kouzelnou skříňku s páčkami a různobarevnými tlačítky. Stisknutím páček skříňka vydává buď vzácné stříbrné dolary, nebo nesmírně chutné čokoládičky. Barevná tlačítka jsou destruktivní a mají přímo katastrofické následky. Co se stane, má-li osud města a vlastně i celého světa v rukách dvanáctiletá dívenka?

Poslední úkol pro Gwendy

Poslední úkol pro Gwendy
Když bylo Gwendy Petersonové dvanáct let, dal jí cizinec jménem Richard Farris do úschovy tajemnou skříňku. Nabízela pamlsky a staré mince, ale byla také nebezpečná. Stisknutí kteréhokoliv ze sedmi barevných tlačítek přinášelo smrt a zkázu. O několik let později skříňka znovu vstoupila do jejího života. Jako úspěšná spisovatelka a vycházející politická hvězda byla Gwendy opět nucena vypořádat se s pokušením, které představovala – úžasný pocit pohody vyvážený děsivě temným nutkáním vyvolat katastrofu. Ve třetí, závěrečné knize bojuje Gwendy Petersonová, nyní senátorka Spojených států, s ranými příznaky Alzheimerovy choroby, které se snaží tajit. Ale čeká ji mnohem náročnější úkol, tajná mise, aby zachránila svět.
