Dennis Etchison Boeken

A Chilling new anthology of all-original tales of horrorIncludes New Stories by:Ray BradburyGraham JoycePeter CrowtherKim NewmanSara DouglassThomas TessierM. John HarrisonGahan WilsonThe anthology market these days is awash with small, themed works focused on very specific markets, like vampire erotica and tales of werewolves, or it features best of the year reprints. It has been years since anyone has dared to bring out a broad-reaching anthology that seeks to define the current state of the genre with all original tales from both masters and hot new writers.

It's a real place. It lies beyond the limits of literature, past the borders of what is expected, what is allowed. All the great artists of horror have been there. Poe. Lovecraft. King. They went as tourists, as exiles, as adventurers, and they brought back terrifying pieces of the dark. Dennis Etchison is the newest citizen of The Dark Country.

A maniac holds children prisoner in his castle and kills them when he is through playing with them.

Jenny Marlow's life is unravelling, and it all began during her work on a docudrama about Lizzie Borden. First, her husband's parents were inexplicably murdered. Now, a black wreath is sent to her door, a channeler sees a frightening vision, and more blood is spilled in Jenny's footsteps. Before she slips completely into a realm of madness, Jenny must uncover the source of her horrors. And she must strike back.

In "Schockzone" von Dennis Etchison betreiben Dan und Evie Markham einen Buchladen in Kalifornien, als ein mysteriöser Brief von Dans Ex-Geliebter Judy ein Chaos auslöst. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich mit überraschenden Wendungen und thematisiert den Schmetterlingseffekt im Leben. Trotz kleiner Klischees bleibt die Lektüre spannend und unterhaltsam.
