E(dward) F(rederick) Benson (1867- 1940), membre d'una singular família literària tant en el vessant inspirador com creatiu, va ser un escriptor d'èxit a la seva època, gràcies a les seves novel·les humorístiques, històriques i d'aventures a l'estil de El presoner de Zenda, i curiosament també autor de manuals encarregats pel ministeri de Defensa britànic. No tan curiós, però, és el fet que se sentís atret, com molts altres escriptors anglesos coetanis seus, pels contes de fantasmes: la seva família, i ell en particular, es movien en un rígid ambient victorià, preocupats i fascinats per llegendes transgressores, que prenien vida en els llocs i racons de la seva vida quotidiana. Pel que sembla, ell i la seva família van ser els que van inspirar a Henry James la seva famosa novel·la The Turn of the Screw (Un altre pas de rosca). Així doncs, no és estrany que el conte que obre aquesta antologia, La cambra de la torre, es desenrotlli a l'habitació en què el seu pare tenia l'estudi, i que el conte que la tanca, Mrs. Amworth, tingui com a protagonista una dama encantadora, amant de les flors, i que l'acció transcorri en un poble per on els caps de setmana passen tot de cotxes que fan cap a Brighton.
Bram Stoker (Dublín, 1847 - Londres, 1912), creador de lexcepcional Dràcula (publicat a «LArcà», núm. 8), va ser, durant més de vint-i-cinc anys, secretari del cèlebre actor teatral Henry Irving, per a qui va arribar a escriure una mitjana de cinquanta cartes diàries. Daquí, i no pas a causa de la influència de Wilkie Collins, com alguns hi han volgut veure, la facilitat i lèxit amb què va saber estructurar epistolarment Dràcula. Bram Stoker és autor, també, daltres novel·les, algunes de tan inquietants com ara El catau del cuc blanc (The Lair of the White Worm), eclipsada potser per la popularitat del cèlebre vampir de Transilvània. Una primera lectura daquesta novel·la satisfarà, de ben segur, els amants de les novel·les de terror. Però una lectura més detinguda pot fer descobrir més duna analogia entre aquesta novel·la i Dràcula. En les negres nits apareixen torbadores criatures, transformacions de personatges fascinants: si a Bucovina era un inquietant i atractiu Dràcula, aquí és lesplèndida i misteriosa Lady Arabella. Si Dràcula posseeix una forta càrrega erotitzant, Lady Arabella, per la seva banda, amb els seus sinuosos moviments hipnotitza i captiva no sols Adam Saltón sinó. també Oolanga, el misteriós criat negre del terratinent Edgar Caswall. I en totes dues novel·les les portes de linfern es troben en un subsòl els soterranis on dorm Dràcula de pudors fètides i nauseabundes semblants a «la sentina dun vaixell inundat amb una pila de rates ofegades».
After being beaten and left for dead, Steven finds himself stranded alongside the 101 in a small Northern California town. When a mysterious stranger named Quinn offers a hand in exchange for help reuniting with his daughter in San Francisco, Steven gets in the car and begins a journey from which there is no return. Quinn has an agenda all his own and he#&146;s unleashing vengeance at each stop along his path. With a coked-up sadist ex-cop chasing Quinn, and two mismatched small town cops chasing the ex-cop, Steven is unaware of the violent tempest brewing. Corrupt cops and death-dealing gangsters manipulate the maze each of them must navigate to get to the one thing they#&146;re all after: Teresa, the girl holding the secret that will rip open a decades-old scandal and scorch San Francisco#&146;s City Hall.

Maybe hardest of all, he has to make peace with the realization that despite what he?s told himself all these years, he is not one of the good guys.
?The girl?s terror was mesmerizing, the menace of the assailant unmistakable. He showed the camera the blade, light reflecting off the serrated edge. Suddenly, the blade slashed, blood flew ?? It was a movie?but not make-believe. The horror was real, and the spectators knew without a shadow of doubt that their idyllic Colorado mountain resort of Gatlin Pass was both the hunting ground and the hiding place for a ring of snuff filmmakers who preyed on tourists and teenagers. Newspaperman Gary Colter watched the film to its bloody finale?but his interest was not prurient. His own daughter was mysteriously missing. When a vicious renegade was captured, Colter?s search for the monsters did not end. He was sure that there was another man still at large?a man holding his daughter in nightmare bondage. With his acclaimed novel Prey, C. Terry Cline, Jr., established himself in the first rank of spellbinding storytellers. Now with this blood-chilling exploration of human violence and the forces that shape it, he achieves a new high in tension and action. Quarry is a taut, page-turner about the power of evil and the

Para calibrar el nivel de crueldad y de violencia de los crímenes que se cometen, el departamento de policía de los Estados Unidos estableció 25 niveles de violencia (siendo el numero 25 el máximo).

Steve Dark es el jefe de un departamento secreto del gobierno americano que se encarga de encontrar y ajusticiar a los asesinos en serie más despiadados del mundo, especialmente a aquellos cuya existencia los gobiernos preferirían no admitir. Steve Dark posee la extraordinaria habilidad de imitar y «habitar» virtualmente en el perfi l del asesino basándose en los pequeños detalles que va descubriendo. Los métodos de Dark requieren que su vida transcurra fuera de los círculos normales, en un mundo underground en el que está tan cerca de sus objetivos que corre el peligro de perder su propia identidad para siempre. Bajo el control directo del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, Dark y su equipo deben estar disponibles 24 horas los siete días de la semana, preparados en cada momento para sumergirse en una nueva operación, en cualquier punto del mundo...
