Postmortem
In the vein of the bestselling I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, this compelling work of true crime explores the aftershocks of “Killer Clown” John Wayne Gacy’s crimes with a uniquely intimate slant, as the daughter of a key witness probes her mother’s personal experiences and the legacy of murder within a family, a community, and the American psyche. On a December night in 1978, Courtney Lund O’Neil’s mother, teenager Kim Byers, saw her friend Rob Piest alive for the last time. At the end of his shift at the pharmacy where they both worked, fifteen-year-old Rob went outside to speak to a contractor named John Wayne Gacy about a possible job. That night Rob became Gacy’s final victim; his body was later found in the Des Plaines River. Kim’s testimony, along with a receipt belonging to her found in Gacy’s house, proving that Rob had been there, would be pivotal in convicting the serial killer who assaulted and killed over thirty young men and boys. Though she grew up far from Des Plaines, Courtney has lived in the shadow of that nightmare, keenly aware of its impact on her mother. In search of deeper understanding and closure, Courtney and Kim travel back to Illinois. Postmortem transforms their personal journey into a powerful exploration of the ever-widening ripples generated by Gacy’s crimes. From the 1970s to the present day, his shadow extends beyond the victims’ families and friends--it encompasses the Des Plaines neighborhood forever marked by his horrific murders, generations of the victims’ families and friends, those who helped arrest and convict him, fandom communities, and many others. Layered and thought-provoking, Postmortem is a complex story of loss and violence, grief and guilt, and the legacy that remains long after a killer is caught.

Te, csakis te
„Levadászlak, mert le kell, hogy vadásszalak. Úgy érzem, te valami újat hoztál az életembe. Valami frissességet. Egyenrangúak vagyunk, Wonder. Te nem a férjezett főnököm vagy, és nem vagy lehetetlenül, elérhetetlenül gazdag sem. Nem vagy szociopata pasizógép, és nem vagy kibaszott társadalmi törtető sem.”
Joe végzett a nőkkel, a szerelemmel, azzal, hogy mások megmentésének szentelje az életét. Mostantól a saját élete a fontos. Végre ő is a krémek krémjéhez tartozik, a gazdag és sikeres emberek közé: felvételt nyert egy ösztöndíjprogramra a Harvardra, így a Massachusetts állambeli Cambridge-be költözik, és azon dolgozik, hogy kiadják az első regényét. A szerelem elől azonban nincs menekvés. A borostyánnal átszőtt falak között találkozik a csodálatos Wonderrel, akiben Joe a számos múltbéli megpróbáltatás után végre lelki társra lel, aki mellett megöregedhet, és boldog íróházaspárként ücsöröghetnek a tengerparton…
Ám az élet kegyetlen, és úgy tűnik, az ösztöndíjprogramban nem mindenki az, akinek mutatja magát. Joe azonban jól tudja, mit követel az igaz szerelem. Ha kell, feláldozza önmagát, és minden akadályt elhárít, ami a boldogságuk útjába állhat - legyen szó akár élettelen, akár élő akadályokról. Caroline Kepnes hátborzongatóan romantikus thrillersorozatából a Netflix készített elsöprő sikerű adaptációt.
Les duchů
Uprostřed lesa stojí dům zvaný Lichen Hall, místo opředené dávnými pověstmi o přízracích, čarodějnicích a dítěti, které nebylo tak docela dítětem.
V roce 1965 do Lichen Hall přijíždí Pearl Gorhamová, která sem byla jako mnoho dalších mladých žen poslána porodit. A brzy v ní vzklíčí podezření, že majitelé panství něco skrývají. Seznámí se tu se záhadnou ženou a jejím malým synem, kteří žijí na pozemcích panství, a společně začnou odhalovat tajemství tohoto místa.
Pravda pomalu vyplouvá na povrch, ale spolu s ní se vkrádá i temnota a Pearl musí nakonec přehodnotit všechno, co zná a čemu věří – a riskovat, co je jí nejdražší.

Vábenie temnoty
Kolekcia najlepších a dosiaľ nepublikovaných poviedok od kultového rozprávača
„Obľúbili ste si temnotu? Fajn, ja tiež,“ píše Stephen King v doslove tejto výnimočnej zbierky dvanástich krátkych poviedok, z ktorých mnohé doteraz ešte neboli publikované. A práve tienisté stránky života predstavujú ústredný motív príbehov, v ktorých King opúšťa hranice všednosti a posúva ich až k nadprirodzenosti. Lebo „práve snenie a monštrá tvoria nevyhnutnú zložku duševného zdravia“ človeka a nemožno si pred nimi zakrývať oči.
Čo ak by sa niekomu napríklad snívalo o mieste, kde je zahrabaná mŕtvola? Uveril by mu niekto, že to bol len sen alebo by ho podozrievali z vraždy? Odpoveď sa skrýva v poviedke Zlý sen Dannyho Coughlina. Poviedka Štrkáče voľne nadväzuje na Kingov román Cujo a sleduje ďalšie osudy Vica Trentona. V poviedke My, ktorým sa sníva sa Williamovi Davisovi prostredníctvom zvláštneho inzerátu v novinách otvoria dvere k nečakanému poznaniu. Úvodné strany poviedky Odpovedač napísal King ako tridsaťročný no príbeh dokončil až o desiatky rokov neskôr. Dá sa predvídavosť považovať za dar alebo prekliatie? Má život poznačený desivou tragédiou ešte nejaký zmysel?
Každý príbeh ponúka jedinečné odpovede a vyvoláva ešte viac otázok.
