humanity, scattering its remnants across vast and now barren lands reminiscent of the 19th century western frontier of America. Small clusters of humans still cling to existence in a post-apocalyptic world that is increasingly overrun by those who have risen from the dead--or, as the living call them, the Walkin'.Thomas, a thirty-two year old conscripted soldier, homeward bound to the small frontier town of Barkley after fighting in a devastating civil war, is filled with hope at the thought of being reunited with his wife, Sarah, and daughter, Mary, both named after characters in the Good Book. As it turns out, he also happens to be among the Walkin'. Devoid of a pulse or sense of pain, but with his memories and hopes intact, Thomas soon realizes that the living, who are increasingly drawn to the followers of the Good Book, are not kindly disposed to the likes of him. And when he learns what the good people of Barkley intend to do to him, and to his family, he realizes he may just have to kidnap his daughter to save her from a fate worse than becoming a member of the undead.When the people of Barkley send out a posse in pursuit of father and daughter, the race for survival truly begins...Il Presagio del Vampiro

By Emanuele Caccia. 2016
La luce non può esistere senza oscurità. Il sole non può sorgere senza che la notte lo preceda e il…
finire di ogni giorno lo vedrà sempre dissolversi nel buio. Una vita tutta rose, fiori e belle giornate soleggiate sarebbe una vita senza alcun contrasto. Un sole che non smetta mai di splendere sarebbe tanto accecante quanto distruttivo. Abbiamo bisogno dell'oscurità. È parte integrante del tutto. Fa parte di noi. I racconti dell'orrore riflettono il nostro lato più oscuro. In quest'era di paure decisamente reali e manifeste, come AIDS, cancro e terrorismo, i racconti del terrore si assumono un compito indispensabile: offrire al lettore la possibilità di provare paura in maniera controllata e affrontare l'orrore alle proprie condizioni. Se la lettura dovesse rivelarsi troppo pesante, un libro può essere chiuso quando si vuole. Cercare la paura in questo modo significa affrontare concretamente le angosce della vita moderna, alleviando così la sensazione di ansia che le accompagna. L'orrore è un'emozione che ci mantiene in contatto con i nostri lati più oscuri, dandoci modo di venire a patti con la nostra vulnerabilità e con lo spettro della morte inevitabile. Le storie dell'orrore sono una valvola di sfogo; alleviano la pressione quando questa si fa eccessiva, ma rimangono opere fantastiche, da cui possiamo allontanarci quando ci sentiamo schiacciati. Ci offrono il sollievo della catarsi senza soffocarci con qualcosa che non potremmo sopportare. Troppo spesso rifiutiamo l'esistenza del nostro lato più oscuro. Basta però metterci sul piatto Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Hannibal Lecter o altre raccapriccianti incarnazioni del lato oscuro della natura umana ed eccoci assaliti da un fascino morboso. In autostrada, non riusciamo a trattenerci dal rallentare per osservare meglio i cruenti dettagli di quella morte scomposta, né riusciamo a impedire al nostro sguardo di guizzare, con un po' di rimorso, su disgrazieA Cold Season
