    <![CDATA[Shortly after World War I, a troubled man accepts a solitary assignment as a &#8220;weather official&#8221; on a tiny, remote island on the edges of the Antarctic. When he arrives, the predecessor he is meant to replace is missing and a deeply disturbed stranger is barricaded in a heavily fortified lighthouse. At first adversaries, the two find that their tenuous partnership may be the only way they survive the unspeakably horrific reptilian creatures that ravage the island at night, attacking the lighthouse in their organized effort to find warm-blooded food. Armed with a battery of ammunition and explosives, the weather official and his new ally must confront their increasingly murderous mentality, and, when the possibility of a kind of truce presents itself, decide what kind of island they will inhabit. Equal parts Stephen King, a phantasmagorical Robinson Crusoe, and <em>Lord of the Flies</em>, <em>Cold</em> <em>Skin</em> is literary horror that deals with the basist forms of human behavior imaginable, while exploring why we so vehemently fear the Other.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[1914. In the heart of the Congo, Garvey, a bedraggled British manservant, emerges from the jungle. He is the lone survivor of an ill-fated mining expedition in which both his masters, William and Robert Craven, have died, and all of the party's African porters have fled. Garvey carries two huge diamonds.<br/><br/>Promptly arrested it is from his prison cell in London that Garvey recounts his horrific and thrilling ordeal. The scribe is young writer Tommy Thomson, an aspiring novelist, who has been commissioned by Garvey's lawyer to record his client's version of events.<br/><br/>What dark forces did they meet in that ill-fated mine? How did the Craven brothers really die? What would drive men to such foul acts? And could love really blossom in the heart of such darkness? Only Tommy can unpick fact from fiction. And the course of justice, not to mention the moral values of the western world, lies in his hands. ]]>

    <![CDATA[¿Qué tienen en común un náufrago al borde de la locura, un esquimal a punto de morir en las garras de un oso polar y un espantapájaros que teme a la soledad? Tal vez, nada. Sin embargo, la prolífica imaginación y depurada prosa de Albert Sánchez Piñol hace que la respuesta sea: todo.<br/>Trece Tristes Trances es un volumen de cuentos poblado de personajes extraños que se enfrentan a la muerte, la locura, el abandono, la incomprensión y la soledad. Seres tan disímiles y fantásticos como cualquiera de nosotros. Albert Sánchez Piñol nos sumerge en breves fábulas modernas que conjugan un estillo cercano a la parodia pero que se parecen tanto a la realidad que no dejarán indiferente a ningún lector.]]>

    <![CDATA[Mladi Tommy Thomson pokušava se uoči Prvoga svjetskog rata probiti u Londonu kao pisac pustolovnih romana. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Njegov prvi angažman, pisanje avanturističkog romana Pandora u Kongu, završava neslavno, pa pristaje bilježiti sjećanja zagonetnog sluge koji je optužen za dvostruko ubojstvo. Thomson postupno otkriva iznenađujuću i uzbudljivu priču o kobnoj ekspediciji u Kongu, koja kulminira dramatičnim opisom susreta s Tektoncima, tajanstvenom rasom podzemnih bića. Ubrzo počinje vjerovati da je sluga pogrešno optužen te da bi mu knjiga koju piše mogla spasiti život... <br/><br/>Pandora u Kongu nesvakidašnji je pustolovni roman prepun neočekivanih obrata i istančanoga humora, a Albert Sánchez Piñol još je jedan izvrstan katalonski pripovjedač koji, kao i Carlos Ruiz Záfon, pokazuje da vrhunsko pripovijedanje nikada ne izlazi iz mode.]]>
