By Stephen King. 2014
Prepárate para el final más oscuro, inquietante e inolvidable de cuantos ha escrito Stephen King. «Al menos en un sentido…
nuestras vidas son ciertamente como las películas. El elenco principal se compone de la familia y los amigos. Los actores son los vecinos, los compañeros de trabajo, los profesores y los conocidos.[...]»Pero a veces entra en nuestra vida una persona que no encaja en ninguna de estas categorías.[...]»Cuando pienso en Charles Jacobs -mi quinto en discordia, mi agente del cambio, mi maldición-, se me hace imposible creer que su presencia en mi vida tuvo que ver con el destino.» Octubre de 1962. En una pequeña localidad de Nueva Inglaterra la sombra de un hombre se cierne sobre un niño que juega ensimismado con sus soldaditos. Cuando Jamie Morton levanta la vista, ve una figura imponente. Se trata de Charles Jacobs, el nuevo pastor, con quien pronto establecerá un estrecho vínculo basado en su fascinación por los experimentos con electricidad. Varias décadas más tarde, Jamie ha caído en las drogas y lleva una vida nómada tocando la guitarra para diferentes bandas por bares de todo el país. Entonces vuelve a cruzarse con Jacobs -dedicado ahora al espectáculo y a crear deslumbrantes «retratos de luz»-, y este encuentro tendrá importantes consecuencias para ambos. Su vínculo se convertirá en un pacto más allá incluso del ideado por el Diablo, y Jamie descubrirá que «renacer» puede tener más de un significado. Esta inquietante novela, que se extiende a lo largo de cinco décadas, muestra uno de los más terroríficos finales que Stephen King haya escrito jamás. Es una obra de arte del maestro de contar historias de nuestro tiempo, en la tradición de Hawthorne, Melville o Poe. Una historia oscura sobre la adicción, el fanatismo y lo que puede existir al otro lado de la vida...Orbs

From the cult-favorite author of Blackwater Lights comes the finale to a dark paranormal horror trilogy in the cosmic horror…
vein of H. P. Lovecraft. The world is collapsing. Governments have fallen, and anarchy reigns. Yet a greater danger looms imprisoned in ancient objects from distant space: bodiless aliens with an all-consuming thirst for freedom . . . and human blood. They have a strong ally in Lily, a powerful sorceress and leader of a globe-spanning cult. In an isolated compound deep in the frozen north, Lily cultivates a group of children whose paranormal abilities can be harnessed to unleash the alien apocalypse. Now she has acquired the final pieces to the puzzle: a gifted young boy named William and his mother, Ellen, whose safety is the bargaining chip Lily needs to compel the child’s obedience. Once again, William and Ellen’s last hope is Ray Simon. Every time Ray and Lily have crossed paths, she has come out on top, and even now she is one step ahead. But this time Ray is not alone. Accompanied by Claire and Mantu—devotees of the enigmatic Brotherhood of Eleusis, who possess psychic abilities of their own—Ray sets off on a desperate mission of rescue and revenge. Only the fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance.
