La leo con admiración. Trato de aprender de su naturalidad y desparpajo'—Valeria Luiselli. 'Los cinco relatos destacan por la alta calidad de su prosa, impecable tensión narrativa y unas atmósferas en las que lo anómalo se aposenta en lo cotidiano.'—Enrique Vila-Matas Cinco relatos galardonados con el Premio Ribera del Duero de narrativa breve, en los que el mundo natural cobra tintes fantásticos y el paralelo entre personajes humanos y otras criaturas resulta tan inquietante como sus feroces, y naturales, estallidos vitales. Temas cotidianos como la vida en pareja, la adolescencia, la maternidad y las formas inusitadas que puede tomar el amor dan pie a una narrativa extraordinaria.

Tudor Narrator: Dakota Blue Richards, Richie Campbell, Roy Mcmillan, C. J. Tudor, Richard Armitage, Adam Sims Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: November 8, 2022 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: The debut short-story collection from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man, hailed as “Britain’s female Stephen King” (Daily Mail), featuring eleven bone-chilling and mind-bending tales “All hail the queen of scream. A Sliver of Darkness is C. J. Tudor at her spine-tingling, nightmare-inducing best. Read it if you dare.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End Time slips. Doomsday scenarios. Killer butterflies. C. J. Tudor’s novels are widely acclaimed for their dark, twisty suspense plots, but with A Sliver of Darkness, she pulls us even further into her dizzying imagination. In “The Lion at the Gate,” a strange piece of graffiti leads to a terrifying encounter for four school friends. In “Final Course,” the world has descended into darkness, but a group of old friends make time for one last dinner party. In “Runaway Blues,” thwarted love, revenge, and something very nasty stowed in a hat box converge. In “Gloria,” a strange girl at a service station endears herself to a coldhearted killer, but can a leopard really change its spots? And in “I’m Not Ted,” a case of mistaken identity has unforeseen fatal consequences. Riveting, macabre, and explosively original, A Sliver of Darkness is C. J. Tudor at her most wicked and uninhibited.

Title: Seven Empty Houses (National Book Award Winner) Author: Samanta Schweblin Narrator: Daisy Guevara, Elena Rey, Lee Osorio, Ines Del Castillo, Victoria Villarreal, Gisela Chipe, Yareli Arizmendi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 26 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Winner of the 2022 National Book Award for Translated Literature A blazing new story collection that will make you feel like the house is collapsing in on you, from the 3 time International Booker Prize finalist, 'lead[ing] a vanguard of Latin American writers forging their own 21st-century canon.” –O, the Oprah magazine The seven houses in these seven stories are strange. A person is missing, or a truth, or memory; some rooms are enticing, some unmoored, others empty. But in Samanta Schweblin's tense, visionary tales, something always creeps back inside: a ghost, a fight, trespassers, a list of things to do before you die, a child's first encounter with darkness or the fallibility of parents. In each story, twists and turns will unnerve and surprise: Schweblin never takes the expected path and instead digs under the skin, revealing surreal truths about our sense of home, of belonging, and of the fragility of our connections with others. This is a masterwork from one of our most brilliant modern writers. Cover art: Detail of 'Le modele vivant' by René Magritte, 1953 / © 2022 C.
