Grady Hendrix

    1. január 1972

    Grady Hendrix je majstrom hororu, ktorý sa nebojí skúmať bizarné a často humorné stránky žánru. Jeho diela sa často ponárajú do nostalgických odkazov na populárnu kultúru osemdesiatych rokov, pričom spája zdanlivo neškodné koncepty s desivými prvkami. Hendrix majstrovsky prelína humor a hrôzu, čím vytvára príbehy, ktoré sú rovnako znepokojivé ako zábavné. Jeho práca, od románov až po scenáre, dokazuje jeho všestrannosť a schopnosť zaujať čitateľov aj divákov.

      Vo veľkopredajni nábytku Orsk v Clevelande sa dejú podivné veci. Zamestnanci každé ráno po príchode do práce nachádzajú polámané knihovničky Kjërring, črepy z pohárov Glans a rozbité skrine Liripip. Očividne sa tu deje niečo nekalé. Prísť záhade na koreň sa rozhodnú traja mladí zamestnanci, a tak sa dobrovoľne prihlásia na desaťhodinovú nočnú zmenu. Uprostred noci hliadkujú na prázdnej predajnej ploche, preskúmavajú podivuhodné tiene a zvuky a zažijú hrôzy, ktoré prekonajú ich najdivokejšie predstavy. Horrorstör je klasický duchársky príbeh zasadený do súčasného prostredia a zabalený do podoby maloobchodného katalógu, v ktorom autor nekladie medze svojej búrlivej fantázii a s primeranou dávkou irónie je odhodlaný čitateľa zaskočiť, no najmä dobre pobaviť.

Armed with spells, potions, and conjures from the powerful Buzzard family, the Magnolias have bought their luck...at a price. Ensconced in the League's headquarters on Habersham street, golden girl Hayes Anderson would never dream of leaving Savannah, where there's no problem that can't be solved with a cup of Swamp Brew tea. But when danger lurks and family secrets are unearthed, Hayes learns that magic can't fix everything. Across town at an old mansion on Forsyth Park, recent California transplant Alexandria Lee is on a quest to free her mother's spirit from a hoodoo spell. As dark magic sweeps through Savannah's historic squares and misty backwaters, will Hayes and Alex have the strength to save the people they love -- and themselves? Katie Crouch's second Magnolia League novel is a beguiling story about family, friendship, and the magical ties that bind.

    • Fried Green Tomatoes and "Steel Magnolias" meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the '90s about a women's book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a blood-sucking fiend. Patricia Campbell had always planned for a big life, but after giving up her career as a nurse to marry an ambitious doctor and become a mother, Patricia's life has never felt smaller. The days are long, her kids are ungrateful, her husband is distant, and her to-do list is never really done. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a group of Charleston mothers united only by their love for true-crime and suspenseful fiction. In these meetings, they're more likely to discuss the FBI's recent siege of Waco as much as the ups and downs of marriage and motherhood. But when an artistic and sensitive stranger moves into the neighborhood, the book club's meetings turn into speculation about the newcomer. Patricia is initially attracted to him, but when some local children go missing, she starts to suspect the newcomer is involved. She begins her own investigation, assuming that he's a Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy. What she uncovers is far more terrifying, and soon she—and her book club—are the only people standing between the monster they've invited into their homes and their unsuspecting community.
