Night of the Ghoul con Francesco Francavilla. Una de miedo.
Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla have entertained and terrified comic book fans, now these two modern masters of horror collaborate for the first time ever on Night of The Ghoul, a bloody reimagining of horror monsters that celebrates classic creature features, while creating a contemporary new kind of horror story.
Shot in 1936, “Night of the Ghoul” by director T.F. Merritt was meant to sit beside “Frankenstein” and “Dracula” as an instant classic. But the legendary film never made it to the silver screen. A mysterious studio fire destroyed the footage and killed the cast and crew at the wrap-party. No footage was ever recovered…until now.
When Forest Inman, a horror film obsessive, stumbles across a forgotten canister of footage, he just might have discovered the remnants of “Night of the Ghoul.” This discovery sends Forest on a dark odyssey to the California desert, where he’s warned by a mysterious old man that the film’s ghoul is far more than a work of fiction: it’s a very real monster who plans to kill him.
Barnstormers con Tula Lotay. Una de aviones.
It’s 1923 — the barnstorming era, where pilots fresh from the airfields of the Great War made a living taking civilians for joyrides in the sky for a small fee. One such man claims to be Preston Pike, a dashing war hero pilot, who has flown his way across the U.S. Southeast scrounging for customers while fleeing from his own demons. When a telephone operator says that a big crowd will be awaiting him in nearby Barnville, Preston races over. Instead of eager clientele, though, he finds himself crashing a wedding, and the party isn’t exactly thrilled. But when Claire, the would-be-bride, decides to make an early getaway, Preston unexpectedly becomes a Clyde to this vengeful Bonnie.
Along the way they bond, confessing their secrets and engaging in a romance for the ages. Will all that change when the Pinkerton agent following close by finally closes in on them?
Barnstormers is an intimate portrait of love and war — and a meditation on the dangerous level of trust required in both romance and aviation.

Canary con Dan Panosian. Otra de miedo.
In 1891 a mine collapsed into itself. What was the dark substance found 666 feet underground? Blending modern horror, historical fact and Western lore, Scott Snyder and Dan Panosian have created a uniquely terrifying thriller with Canary.
During the final days of the Gold Rush, one mining company in Colorado, pulled up radioactive Uranium, and then the mine then collapsed in on itself. Legends sprung up about the mine being cursed or even haunted.
Now the Frontier is closed, the gold and silver mines have dried up. The country is becoming “civilized,” and yet in one stretch of the Rocky Mountains, a terrifying, new kind of violence is suddenly emerging. Random killings. People going mad and murdering neighbors, classmates without real cause. When a schoolboy kills his teacher with a hatchet, a famous federal marshal named Azrael William Holt is called in to investigate the killings. What he--and a brilliant young geologist--uncover is stranger and more horrifying than anything they could have ever imagined.
Duck and Cover con Rafael Alburquerque. Una postapocalíptica.
When a sudden nuclear exchange obliterates the United States, only the children who hid under their school desks are spared. These teens now find themselves the lone survivors in a strange and wild new ’50’s America. Stranger still, some of them seem to be developing superhuman powers…
The kids knew the drill. They practiced it so many times. When the air raid siren goes off, you hide under your desk. But they never expected to live in a world where everyone who didn’t hide under a desk is dead. Now there are no teachers. There are no adults. What are they supposed to do? Why were they spared?
Duck and Cover is a riveting sci-fi thriller, chock full of Cold War paranoia, strange mutant lands, and tribes of super powered children.
Book of Evil con Jock. Una novela de terror young adult.
The Book of Evil tells the story of four young friends growing up in a strange, near future where over 90% of the population are born as psychopaths…
Imagine a world where nearly every baby born is a future psychopath. Is this human evolution? A virus? Can it be cured? Regardless, just like that, the new normal is psychopathy.
Quinn is a curious, quiet, and determined 12-year-old boy—and an artist. The story of The Book of Evil unfolds in first person narration from Quinn’s point of view, featuring his journal entries, alongside his illustrations from his journey – as well as excerpts of his father’s cartoon strip called “The Book of Evil.” His father’s popular cartoon featured an everyman named Everett who time traveled, met heroic figures of the past, and murdered them in hyper-violent ways. Was Quinn’s father telling a story to entertain? Or was he leaving clues in “The Book of Evil” for those, like his son and his friends, looking to change the world?
The Book of Evil is ambitious storytelling, featuring a unique combination of prose and multiple styles of illustration, by two of the most popular creators working in comics today.
