In the thrilling sequel to Bird Box, the inspiration for the record-breaking Netflix film that starred Sandra Bullock and absolutely riveted Stephen King, New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman brings unseen horrors to life. This sequel is as tense and harrowing as the original, with a new depth that raises the stakes. Riley Sager, author of Lock Every Door Twelve years after Malorie and her children rowed up the river to safety, a blindfold is still the only thing that stands between sanity and madness. One glimpse of the creatures that stalk the world will drive a person to unspeakable violence. There remains no explanation. No solution. All Malorie can do is survive and impart her fierce will to do so on her children. Don t get lazy, she tells them. Don t take off your blindfold. AND DON T LOOK. But then comes what feels like impossible news. And with it, the first time Malorie has allowed herself to hope. Someone very dear to her, someone she believed dead, may be alive. Malorie has already lost so much: her sister, a house full of people who meant everything, and any chance at an ordinary life. But getting her life back means returning to a world full of unknowable horrors and risking the lives of her children again. Because the creatures are not the only thing Malorie fears: There are the people who claim to have caught and experimented on the creatures. Murmerings of monstrous inventions and dangerous new ideas. And rumors that the creatures themselves have changed into something even more frightening.

Tempestad en víspera de viernes reúne toda la obra hasta el momento de una de las grandes poetas españolas de la actualidad, Lara Moreno, desde su debut con La herida costumbre y los poemas incluidos en Despues de la apnea hasta los de su último poemario, Tuve una jaula, así como varias piezas ineditas, algunas compuestas durante la pandemia de 2020. El conjunto es una impactante muestra de una poesía íntima, pegada a lo domestico y descarnadamente visceral, en la que Lara Moreno desnuda con ironía, ternura y calado su intimidad, sensual y dolorosamente perturbadora, la realidad cotidiana que la circunda y su condición de mujer. En este sentido, quizá no sea exagerado afirmar que Lara Moreno es a la poesía lo que Lucia Berlin al relato.

Madrugada,la nueva novela de Gustavo Rodríguez, aborda la ausencia del padre en un país lleno de prejuicios y violencia. A pesar de que en treinta años de vida no lo conoció, Trinidad Ríos necesita encontrar a su padre. Ella tiene miedo de ser rechazada, aunque el miedo no le es inusual: toda su vida, desde la madrugada que quedó huérfana en la salvaje jungla de Madre de Dios, en la selva sur del Perú, hasta que tuvo que escapar a la ciudad de Lima, ha tenido que luchar contra tratantes de mujeres, mineros ilegales, trabas machistas y una sociedad extremadamente racista. Se podría decir que hasta ahora ha sobrevivido con éxito, pero una enfermedad producida por contaminación de mercurio la obliga a buscar a la única persona en el mundo que puede salvarla a través de un trasplante. ¿La aceptará su padre, un cantante bipolar que se gana la vida imitando a los Bee Gees y que ignora su existencia? Y si la acepta, ¿estará dispuesto a dejar su único sueño solo por salvar la vida de su hija? «Rodríguez es una de esas voces que sorprenden, justamente porque no se jacta de alimentarse solo de la literatura. También cree en la calle y en su mirada y en sí mismo. Más que escribir, a veces da la impresión de que lo que hace es conversar.»

This New York Times Notable Book from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad is a brisk, comic tour de force about identity, history, and the adhesive bandage industry. The town of Winthrop has decided it needs a new name. The resident software millionaire wants to call it New Prospera; the mayor wants to return to the original choice of the founding black settlers; and the town’s aristocracy sees no reason to change the name at all. What they need, they realize, is a nomenclature consultant. And, it turns out, the consultant needs them. But in a culture overwhelmed by marketing, the name is everything and our hero’s efforts may result in not just a new name for the town but a new and subtler truth about it as well.

At an internment camp in Indonesia, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever. When epidemiologist Henry Parsons travels there on behalf of the World Health Organization to investigate, what he finds will have staggering repercussions. Halfway across the globe, the deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security scrambles to mount a response to the rapidly spreading pandemic leapfrogging around the world, which she believes may be the result of an act of biowarfare. And a rogue experimenter in man-made diseases is preparing his own terrifying solution. As already-fraying global relations begin to snap, the virus slashes across the United States, dismantling institutions and decimating the population. With his own wife and children facing diminishing odds of survival, Henry travels from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia to his home base at the CDC in Atlanta, searching for a cure and for the origins of this seemingly unknowable disease. The End of October is a one-of-a-kind thriller steeped in real-life political and scientific implications, filled with the insight that has been the hallmark of Wright s acclaimed nonfiction and the full-tilt narrative suspense that only the best fiction can offer. A swift and all-too-convincing chronicle of science, espionage, action and speculation that moves from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia to the U.S. as it eerily evokes real-life current events.
