NOVEDADES

Mara is dead—mostly. Infected with a virus that broke the world and turned her into a monster, Mara awakens in a facility to learn a treatment has been found. No longer a Tick, Mara is placed in an experimental relocation program. But she’s sent to live with the best friend she hasn’t seen since the world ended. Since their first and only kiss. Rory is alive—barely. And her nightmares are as vicious as the Ticks that infected Mara and permanently injured Rory. Even after the Island—one of the surviving communities—rebuilds itself, Rory fears a Tick attack from the mainland at any time. But the Ticks that show up are medicated—not quite themselves but no longer raging monsters. Among them is the first girl Rory ever loved...the one she thought was gone forever. As Mara and Rory struggle with the violence they’ve inflicted and experienced, they must lean on each other to survive their brutal world—or risk losing each other all over again.

Josslyn Drake knows only three things about magic: it’s rare, illegal, and always deadly. So when she’s caught up in a robbery gone wrong at the Queen’s Gala and infected by a dangerous piece of magic—one that allows her to step into the memories of an infamously evil warlock—she finds herself living her worst nightmare. Joss needs the magic removed before it corrupts her soul and kills her. But in Ironport, the cost of doing magic is death, and seeking help might mean scheduling her own execution. There’s nobody she can trust. Nobody, that is, except wanted criminal Jericho Nox, who offers her a deal: his help extracting the magic in exchange for the magic itself. And though she’s not thrilled to be working with a thief, especially one as infuriating (and infuriatingly handsome) as Jericho, Joss is desperate enough to accept. But Jericho is nothing like Joss expects. The closer she grows to Jericho and the more she sees of the world outside her pampered life in the city, the more Joss begins to question the beliefs she’s always taken for granted—beliefs about right and wrong, about power and magic, and even about herself.

Un cuento es una obra de ficción en prosa que se puede leer de una sola sentada, normalmente entre 20 minutos y una hora”. Su belleza reside en que, a través de un relato breve y sencillo, describe hechos o situaciones completas, desde un planteo inicial hasta su fin. Puede o no estar basada en hechos reales.

En 1996, Allen Ginsberg tenía setenta años, se encontraba muy delicado de salud y le quedaba apenas un año de vida. Impulsado quizá por la urgencia de cantar unas últimas verdades, y a pesar de sus escasas apariciones públicas durante aquel período, el poeta beat se lanzó a un gran proyecto final: el de musicar, en colaboración con Paul McCartney y Philip Glass, una colección de pequeños poemas que acababa de publicar en la revista The Nation: se trataba de la Balada de los esqueletos. Inspirados en la festividad mexicana del Día de los Muertos, estos esqueletos universales reproducen y padecen los males de nuestra sociedad, ejercen y a la vez sufren el poder, dejándose el cuerpo en ello. Entre todos conforman la danza macabra del sistema de agotamiento, explotación y destrucción en que vivimos. Sus versos, tan radicales como divertidos, azote de la moral estadounidense, mantienen hoy su feroz condición de sátira carnavalesca, cobrando una sorprendente y acaso terrorífica actualidad.
