Desperation
Tenzij je naar Las Vegas gaat voor blackjack of voor een stripshow, is Nevada voornamelijk een uitgestrekte woestijnvlakte waar je doorheen moet op weg naar ergens anders. En met iemand anders, als je geluk hebt… Omdat Nevada, vooral Centraal-Nevada, een enge plek kan zijn. ‘Er wonen veel excentrieke mensen,’ zegt Mary Jacksons vriendin Marielle, maar Marielle heeft er geen idee van hoe excentriek. Want er is iets verschrikkelijk mis in het kleine mijnstadje Desperation en er zijn mensen op Highway 50 die hun bestemming nooit zullen bereiken; mensen die als de zon ondergaat en de wind opsteekt de ware betekenis van de naam Desperation zullen leren kennen.

Ossessioni
Nelle otto storie raccolte in questo volume, qui offerte in una nuova traduzione, l'autrice si muove con vera maestria sul labile confine tra la narrativa fantastica e l'indagine psicologica, scavando nella mente e nelle emozioni anche violente dei protagonisti per creare situazioni che si sposano con strane forze ed elementi fuori dall'ordinario. A questo si aggiungono il notevole gusto per le ambientazioni e il suo modo particolare di tratteggiare le figure femminili - in special modo l'archetipo della femme fatale - e di guardare al passato e ai pericoli che comporta, tutti elementi che caratterizzano la sua scrittura e le hanno fatto guadagnare di diritto un posto speciale nel panorama della letteratura di genere, ma non solo, a cavallo tra il diciannovesimo e il ventesimo secolo. I fantasmi esistono, sono tra di noi, ma si manifestano solo quando vengono evocati dalle ossessioni, dalle passioni (e perché no, dall'odio) che provano i vivi.

Slim and None
"The Law is a Jealous Mistress and requires long and constant courtship. It is not to be won by trifling favors but by lavish homage." - Supreme Court Justice Joseph StoryOver many years, Eddie Terrell and his firm have grown in prominence and with success after success. There have been failures too but few and far between. He has become not just a 'good lawyer'; he has become a craftsman, an artist. He has had much help along the way. His powers of creation and elucidation remain stout and strong and he is a fearsome opponent.And now here, in the final volume of the Eddie Terrell Trilogy, Eddie realizes that no great races last forever and that he is running out of runway. His mind and abilities and evaluating skills are still razor sharp but he knows the clock is ticking and he is troubled by a horizon of conclusion that begins to loom ever closer before him. Immortality is never to be purchased and he knows it.He presses on with more vigor than ever. He will run through the tape, not just to it. And as he wends his way through the jungle of the law and the courts, he is occupied by his standard heavy-lifting fare, a variety of matters which include wrongful death and alienation of affections and domestic discord and civil litigation, serious torts and medical malpractice and also deceit and lies and solutions, some necessary but unsavory. His partner and savvy helper Mikey watches him closely as he goes. She is his ballast and comfort.But overarching all is The Law. It is his lodestar and Eddie is drawn to it as Icarus was drawn inexorably to the sun. He will not turn back."The moving finger writes and having writ moves on: Nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all thy tears wash out a word" - The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Gypsy Blood
Half-Gypsy, Carnival carries his dead Poppa inside him as a perpetual adviser as he works as fortune-teller and occult troubleshooter, banishing demons and succubi with a carefree confidence born only of youth. His life journey takes a distinctly different turn when he meets Maya, an alluring female vampire. This novel details a dark version of the modern world, in which demons appear unbidden and where having a talent and using it successfully can mean either life or death.GYPSY BLOOD is a fast-paced, dark, funny and terrifying novel - like nothing that you have ever read before. The whole thing rolls like an avalanche of skateboards building to a climactic battle royal e between Carnival, a two-timing lady vampire, a she-demon with a mother complex, a social-climbing blood god, the collective spirit of the city and a mercenary mariachi band in a rickshaw.This is a fantasy for those folks who HATE fantasy!"If you have got a taste for over-the-top stories in the campy mode of the EVIL DEAD movies, then this is definitely a book that you should look into." - The Goreletter"If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - BOOKGASM"Gypsy Blood is for fans of dark fantasy who think they've seen it all. Where else are you going to find a novel that opens with life and death battle with a succubus, rolls into a vampire's palm reading session, which segues into a bathtub summoning ceremony and climaxes with a non-stop showdown between a blood demon, a city incarnate, and a mercenary band of mariachi armed with a homemade propane-powered kamikaze rickshaw and assorted armaments?" - Hellnotes"True originality is rare but you will find it every time that Steve Vernon puts his fingers on the keyboard." - Jeff Strand (author of PRESSURE)
