Gysere

Seks frysende, gysende historier for unge og voksne, en selvstændig fortsættelse af novellesamlingen Blandt skovens skygger - En rejse gennem natten. De seks noveller kan sagtens læses enkeltvis, men det er måske mest givende at læse dem én for én i den rigtige rækkefølge, for forfatteren spinder historierne ind i hinanden, så læseren i et glimt kan møde hovedpersonen fra den næste historie.I dette særegne univers møder man sygelig jalousi og hævngerrighed, tvangstanker og fobier, alt sammen balancerende midt imellem det almindelige og det overnaturlige.

The Walking Dead er en af de seneste års mest omtalte amerikanske tegneserier. På overfladen er det en blodig zombie-tegneserie, men bag den dramatiske handling undersøger forfatteren, hvordan mennesket reagerer, når samfundet går i opløsning og frelsen ikke umiddelbart er til at få øje på.I efteråret 2010 startede tv-serien af samme navn i USA, og som herhjemme vises på DR HD.The Walking Dead henvender sig måske først og fremmest til et yngre publikum, men også alle med hang til gys og gru samt et åbent blik for, hvor skrøbeligt fundamentet, som samfundet hviler på, måske er.

Ragnhild Jølsen var en af de mest egenartede personligheder i Norge i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet. Feminist, provokatør, dyrker af den hedenske gud Pan og ikke mindst en meget talentfuld og radikal forfatter. Hovedværket i forfatterskabet er romanen Rikka Gan(1904).Rikka Gan er Jølsens forsøg på at forny den gotiske genre. Den rummer et voldsomt opgør med patriarkatet, er kompleks i sin opbygning, fuld af drømmesyn og som intet andet i verdenslitteraturen.I romanen har den rige Mattias Aga købt gården Gan, og den svage Jon Torsen gøres til bestyrer. Med sig bringer Torsen sin kone, Fernanda, og ikke mindst sin søster Rikka. De er af slægten Gan – en slægt af stærke kvinder og svage mænd. Rikka er smuk og dragende. Mændene tiltrækkes af hendes mystiske væsen, men inde i Rikka foregår en kamp. I ly af natten opsøger hun kirkegården, hun fantaserer om den mystiske Vilde Vå, og trods sit søde væsen drømmer hun om død og ødelæggelse. På gården Gan foregår der mystiske ting, men ingen kan finde ud af hvad, og afsløringen viser sig at være mere skræmmende, end nogen kan forestille sig.Ragnhild Jølsen (1875-1908) var norsk forfatter ved overgangen mellem nyromantikken og nyrealismen. Hun blev i sin samtid set som noget af en provokatør, en frisindet, moderne kvinde. Hun udgav i alt fire romaner: Ve’s mor (1903), Rikka Gan (1904), Fernanda Mona (1905), Hollases krønike (1906) samt novellesamlingen Brukshistorier (1907). De skildrer alle brydningen mellem gammel og ny tid med fokus på komplicerede kvindesind og farligt begær og har indslag af overnaturlige fænomener. Hun kæmpede det meste af sit voksenliv med en morfinafhængighed og tog i 1908 sit eget liv.

Thomas Ligotti er en af weird-litteraturens mest originale og roste forfattere i moderne horror siden H.P. Lovecraft. Dette værk markerer forfatterens første udgivelse på dansk.Teatro Grottesco indeholder 13 ildevarslende noveller, der på hver sin vis introducerer læseren for Ligottis tågesvøbte mareridtsverden. Her regerer kun den gruopvækkende absurditet, der strækker sine lange fingre gennem tomme gader, livsforladte karnevaller og endeløse kontorbygninger – og altid, lige under overfladen, lurer truslen om en afgrundsdyb indsigt, som måske bedst lades uforløst (hvis læseren ønsker at bevare sin sindsligevægt).Thomas Ligotti er kendt for sin nihilistiske og excentriske prosa, hvis atmosfære vækker mindelser om andre mestre af det besynderlige, lige fra Lovecraft til Franz Kafka, David Lynch og Kōbō Abe for blot at nævne nogle få.Novellesamlingen akkompagneres af 13 smukke illustrationer, tegnet af John Kenn Mortensen, der selv nærer en stor forkærlighed for forfatteren.

"Nelah seems to have it all: fame, wealth, and a long-awaited daughter growing in a government lab. But, trapped in a loveless marriage to a policeman who uses a microchip to monitor her every move, Nelah's perfect life is precarious. After a drug-fueled evening culminates in an eerie car accident, Nelah commits a desperate crime and buries the body, daring to hope that she can keep one last secret. The truth claws its way into Nelah's life from the grave. As the ghost of her victim viciously hunts down the people Nelah holds dear, she is thrust into a race against the clock: in order to save any of her remaining loved ones, Nelah must unravel the political conspiracy her victim was on the verge of exposing--or risk losing everyone. et in a cruel futuristic surveillance state where bodies are a government-issued resource, this harrowing story is a twisty, nail-biting commentary on power, monstrosity, and bodily autonomy. In sickeningly evocative prose, Womb City interrogates how patriarchy pits women against each other as unwitting collaborators in their own oppression."--
