Dracul. Ediz. italiana

Colpi alla porta. Sempre più rapidi, sempre più forti. Barricato in cima alla torre abbandonata, Bram Stoker prega che i cardini tengano e, nel frattempo, si prepara. Appende crocifissi e specchi alle pareti, carica il fucile e attende. Infine, temendo di non, arrivare vivo all'alba, prende carta e penna e inizia a scrivere tutto quanto è accaduto fino a quel momento... La storia comincia quando Bram ha cinque anni. È un bambino cagionevole, spesso costretto a letto, che passa gran parte del tempo con la sorella Matilda. L'unica persona in grado di farlo stare meglio è Ellen, la giovane tata. Eppure c'è qualcosa di strano in lei, nei suoi modi enigmatici, nella sua carnagione pallidissima. All'inizio è solo una sensazione, poi Bram si rende conto che, da quando Ellen lo 'cura', ha una strana ferita al polso, due forellini che non si rimarginano mai. Inoltre spesso Ellen esce di nascosto di notte e, quando capita, al mattino le pagine dei giornali riportano la notizia di brutali omicidi avvenuti a Dublino. I sospetti di Bram e Matilda si fanno sempre più concreti, ma poco tempo dopo, all'improvviso, Ellen sparisce. Gli anni passano. Miracolosamente guarito, Bram continua gli studi al Trinity College, mentre Matilda parte per Parigi. Al suo ritorno, corre da Bram con una notizia inquietante: ha visto Ellen, ancora giovane e bella come quando loro erano bambini. I due fratelli non lo sanno, ma quello sarà l'inizio di un incubo: l'incontro di Bram con una creatura allo stesso tempo spaventosa e affascinante, un incontro che, anni dopo, darà vita a un 'romanzo' destinato a diventare leggenda....

The First Scarlet Door

In the first of three prequels to New York Times bestselling author J.D. Barker's wildly popular 4MK series... Before he was known as the Four Monkey Killer, he was just a boy trying to survive. Charleston, 1999. Fifteen-year-old Anson Bishop didn't mean to kill—not the first time, anyway. Raised by parents who taught him that murder was simply survival, Anson thought he'd escaped his dark past when his home burned and his mother vanished with stolen mob money. He was wrong. Someone is hunting Charleston's forgotten children—the runaways, the addicts, the ones no one will miss. When the few people Anson has come to care about vanish into the night, he discovers a truth more horrifying than anything his parents taught him: there are monsters in the world far worse than the one he sees in the mirror. Behind a door the color of spilled blood waits a killer who has perfected his craft over two decades. To save his friends, Anson must walk through that scarlet door and face a monster. But in doing so, he may become something more dangerous than what awaits him on the other side. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed. Discover where it all began in the first of three prequels to New York Times bestselling author J.D. Barker's wildly popular 4MK series.
