Stephen Graham Jones Knihy

Záhadná zjevení... strašidelné kroky... pokus o zhmotnění astrální bytosti... dítě předvídající tragédii... posedlost démonem vúdú... spiritistická tabulka věštící smrt... mrtvý, jenž přežívá silou cizí vůle... prokletí rodinného jména... Podobná témata si obvykle spojujeme s horory v tištěné či filmové podobě. Nicméně příběhy obsažené v této knize jsou naprosto pravdivé. Jde o skutečné zážitky, které svěřili papíru přední mistři hrůzy, počínaje E. A. Poem, M. R. Jamesem a Stephenem Kingem a konče hercem Vincentem Pricem nebo režisérem Johnem Landisem. Vedle úspěšných a uznávaných jmen se poprvé ocitají i vycházející hvězdy hororového žánru, aby společně s nimi vydaly svědectví o svých setkáních s nadpřirozeným světem a odhalily, nakolik tyto jedinečné prožitky ovlivnily jejich život a tvorbu. Dojde-li na nevysvětlitelné jevy, dovede být skutečnost mnohem děsivější než jakákoli fikce - a to platí i pro mistry literárního i filmového hororu. Vybral a uspořádal Stephen Jones.

A call to arms for the horror story: a collection of the very best in chiller fiction by some of the brightest stars in the field.

When the history of fantasy and horror fiction is being discussed, the pulp magazine Weird Tales is inevitably mentioned. Originally selling for just twenty-five cents on news-stands, and printed on low-grade ‘pulp’ paper, Weird Tales was the first magazine devoted exclusively to weird and fantastic fiction. The three most important and influential writers to have their work published in the pages of ‘The Unique Magazine’ were Rhode Island horror writer H.P. Lovecraft; the Texan creator of Conon the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard; and the California poet, short story writer, illustrator and sculptor, Clark Ashton Smith.In The Weird Tales Boys, award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones explores the relationship between this trio of—in many ways flawed—friends, and how their work and lives became not just entwined with each other, but also with so many other authors and publishers of the period. The legacy of these writers—Lovecraft, Howard and Smith—and the periodical in which their work appeared still has a profound influence on horror and fantasy fiction after more than a century, as The Weird Tales Boys’ continue to cast their long, talented and sometimes controversial shadows over the genre today. This is their story...

"My hat is off to Stephen Graham Jones, because he is the kind of author that makes the frustrated writer inside every book reviewer cringe with self-doubt."—PopMatters So there's video footage of me not washing my hands in the bathroom at work. My dad says it's the kind of the thing that can tank his whole business. That he has to be extra careful. Don't I understand? Usually when he's spewing all this, I just stand there. Last week I was his show-and-tell for Sunday school class. We wore matching ties, and I was under strict orders not to smile or look sly. Some of those people were his customers, after all. I don't know. Anyway, bam, yeah, the camera caught me: I ran the water but didn't wash my hands. Over the course of one shift working the window of his father's drive-through urinal, our sixteen-year-old Flushboy will have to not only juggle gallons of warm pee and deal with the worst flood ever (it's not water), but he'll also have to fend off the urine mafia, solve the citywide mystery of Chickenstein, and win his girlfriend back. Stephen Graham Jones is the author of ten novels, three collections, and one novella. He is a full professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and in the low-residency program for University of California Riverside—Palm Desert. Stephen is forty-one, and married with children.

When the body of an unidentified young Hispanic woman is dredged from the Detroit River, the Wayne County coroner gives her photo to ex-police detective August Snow, insisting August ask around his native Mexicantown to see if anyone recognizes her.

Stephen Graham Jones brings readers a spine-tingling Native American horror novella. Walking through his own house at night, a fifteen-year-old thinks he sees another person stepping through a doorway.

Winner of the Hammett Prize and the Nero Award From the wealthy suburbs to the remains of Detroit's bankrupt factory districts, August Snow is a fast-paced tale of murder, greed, sex, economic cyber-terrorism, race and urban decay. Tough, smart, and struggling to stay alive, August Snow is the embodiment of Detroit. The son of an African-American father and a Mexican-American mother, August grew up in the city's Mexicantown and joined the police force only to be drummed out by a conspiracy of corrupt cops and politicians. But August fought back; he took on the city and got himself a $12 million wrongful dismissal settlement that left him low on friends. He has just returned to the house he grew up in after a year away, and quickly learns he has many scores to settle. It's not long before he's summoned to the palatial Grosse Pointe Estates home of business magnate Eleanore Paget. Powerful and manipulative, Paget wants August to investigate the increasingly unusual happenings at her private wealth management bank. But detective work is no longer August's beat, and he declines. A day later, Paget is dead of an apparent suicide--which August isn't buying for a minute. What begins as an inquiry into Eleanore Paget's death soon drags August into a rat's nest of Detroit's most dangerous criminals, from corporate embezzlers to tattooed mercenaries.

When a fellow officer is killed while searching the vehicle of a Native American, deputy sheriff Jimmy Doe discovers that the killer is targeting another victim, prompting Doe to launch an investigative road trip across Texas.

В самом начале XIX столетия немецкие лингвисты братья Якоб и Вильгельм Гримм начали собирать во всей Европе народные сказки, чтобы сохранить истории, устно передававшиеся из поколения в поколение. Братья Гримм стали авторами одной из первых антологий хоррора. В наши дни, когда эти сказки обрели небывалую популярность, Нил Гейман, Гарт Нике, Ремси Кэмпбелл и другие мастера ужасов представляют свою трактовку классических сказочных сюжетов. Каждая из этих историй пугает и очаровывает по-своему, но объединяет их одно - все они написаны на основе самых ранних, не приглаженных цензурой версий знаменитых сказок.
