Give Me Something Good to Eat

Perfect for fans of Hocus Pocus and Stranger Things, this middle grade debut tells the story of a boy who travels into an alternate version of his Halloween-obsessed town to save his sister from an evil witch and free the town from the witch's curse. Fear comes home. Welcome to Pearl, a town obsessed with Halloween: the spooky decorations, the costumes, the candy. No one seems to notice that every October 31st, a kid goes missing. Mason Miller does, though. Somehow he's the only one who has any memory the person existed at all. When Mason's sister, Meg, vanishes while they're trick-or-treating, Mason and his friends are pulled into an underworld where monsters roam the streets. They need to fight the evil taking over Pearl, but none of them know the true danger they're facing. Meg has been stolen by a witch who has no plans to let her go. Shadows of death curl around trees and behind doorways as Mason must use every ounce of bravery he has . . . or be haunted forever with the memory of a sister that only he remembers.

The Moon That Vanished

The Moon That Vanished by Leigh Brackett - A fallen satellite of the Planet Venus is the lure which leads three hunted beings to the mysterious island of smiling death! The stranger was talking about him—the tall stranger who was a long way from his native uplands, who wore plain leather and did not belong in this swamp-coast village. He was asking questions, talking, watching. David Heath knew that, in the same detached way in which he realized that he was in Kalruna's dingy Palace of All Possible Delights, that he was very drunk but not nearly drunk enough, that he would never be drunk enough and that presently, when he passed out, he would be tossed over the back railing into the mud, where he might drown or sleep it off as he pleased. Heath did not care. The dead and the mad do not care. He lay without moving on the native hide-frame cot, the leather mask covering the lower part of his face, and breathed the warm golden vapour that bubbled in a narghil-like bowl beside him. Breathed, and tried to sleep, and could not. He did not close his eyes. Only when he became unconscious would he do that. There would be a moment he could not avoid, just before his drugged brain slipped over the edge into oblivion, when he would no longer be able to see anything but the haunted darkness of his own mind, and that moment would seem like all eternity. But afterward, for a few hours, he would find peace. Until then he would watch, from his dark corner, the life that went on in the Palace of All Possible Delights. Heath rolled his head slightly. By his shoulder, clinging with its hooked claws to the cot frame, a little bright-scaled dragon crouched and met his glance with jewel-red eyes in which there were peculiar sympathy and intelligence. Heath smiled and settled back. A nervous spasm shook him but the drug had relaxed him so that it was not severe and passed off quickly.

[Spanish] - Nunca en la escalera… (segunda parte de El caso Vermont)

¿DÓNDE BUSCAS A ALGUIEN QUE EN REALIDAD NUNCA ESTÁ? SIEMPRE EN UNA ESCALINATA PERO NUNCA EN LA ESCALERA… Los sugerentes acertijos que se ocultan tras los asesinatos del internado Ellingham, el centro privado fundado en 1930 por el millonario excéntrico Albert Ellingham en las remotas montañas de Vermont, siguen esperando a que alguien los resuelva; y Stevie sabe que está muy muy cerca. Sin embargo, el camino hacia la verdad tiene más obstáculos de los que se imagina…, y continuar avanzando implica hacer daño a alguien que quiere. EN LA SEGUNDA ENTREGA DE LA TRILOGÍA EL CASO VERMONT DE MAUREEN JOHNSON, TODO TIENE UN PRECIO, Y ALGUIEN PAGARÁ LA VERDAD CON SU VIDA. «Os lo asegura el lector más impaciente del mundo: si la serie El caso Vermont es básicamente una novela de misterio muy larga, Nunca en la escalera… es una parte central tan amena que ni siquiera os entrarán ganas de saltaros nada para leer el final». ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY «Esperar la siguiente entrega de esta serie que rinde homenaje a los clásicos del misterio Agatha Christie y Sherlock Holmes fue una tortura, pero Nunca en la escalera… mereció la pena». USA TODAY «Johnson da forma a su novela más original y minuciosamente urdida, un libro con misterios que se solapan entre los años treinta y el presente y que va desgranando cuidadosamente capítulo tras capítulo». KIRKUS «Esta segunda entrega es un toma y daca: varios misterios importantes se resuelven de manera satisfactoria, pero otros acertijos del pasado permanecen angustiosamente indescifrables, y otros más entran en juego casi al llegar a su enigmático final. Agatha Christie se sentiría orgullosa». BOOKLIST

The Night Shift

The Night Shift by Frank M. Robinson - Werewolves are supposed to haunt lonely, back-country roads. That seems a little silly, when you consider that most beasts of prey go where the game is thickest. Now at night, in the larger cities… I sat there letting the smoke drift out of my nostrils and running my fingers idly over the typewriter keys. The ideas weren’t coming tonight; I couldn’t concentrate. I’d start to think and my mind would twist away, as if it was tired of working and wanted to relax and think about the movies or what was on TV or what I had for supper that night. The paper in my typewriter was discouragingly blank except for the heading: The Night Shift, by Nick Golata. There wasn’t anything underneath it and I didn’t have any idea of what should go there. I took another drag on my cigarette, opened the window a little, and flicked it out, watching the tiny red ember fall through the night to the empty streets twenty stories down. The column was usually a natural for ideas. What goes on in Chicago after dark, when all the eight-to-fivers have gone to bed and the rest of humanity congregates in small, neighborhood bars or the big movie palaces downtown or scrubs its lonely way down the miles of corridors in deserted office buildings. I filled my lungs with the cold, clean air and looked out over the city at night, a sea of blackness spotted here and there with the glare of neon and threaded with shining catwalks of strings of street-lamps. The city grows on you, like an old typewriter or a faithful automobile. You fall in love with the bright lights and the rumble of the ancient elevated and the characters who work the night shift downtown. It was mine, I thought, all mine. The darkness and the shadows and the few people on the deserted sidewalks. I took one last look and then closed the window. This was going to be one of those nights when I had to call Sammy Baxa for material.

Frank M. Robinson (Author), Scott Miller (Narrator)
