Il mostro, che somiglia a un enorme orso con la pelle da rettile, è affamato e terrorizzerà la piccola città, tramite brutali assassini e mutilazioni, prima di animali da bestiame, e poi di esseri umani. I proiettili non possono certo fermare un demone, servirà qualcosa di più, come la magia, per evitare la strage. Lo sceriffo della cittadina, Skip Harding, per combattere la creatura avrà dunque bisogno dell'aiuto di un nativo americano, Jay Little Hawk, e delle antiche conoscenze e abilità di un vecchio sciamano. L'autore, che ci consente di avvicinarsi alla mitologia e magia dei nativi americani, tramite una preziosa esperienza diretta, non risparmia scene brutali e gore delle gesta del demone, l'oscuro protagonista di questo romanzo.

The first graphic novel based on the well known story 'Calcutta Lord of Nerves' by Poppy Z. Brite. Adaptation & Script by Alessandro Manzetti and illustrations by Stefano Cardoselli. Cover art by Wendy Saber Core.   Cover reveal (artwork by Wendy Saber Core) of THE DEMETER DIARIES by Marge Simon and Bryan D. Dietrich, coming out in July 2019, kindle and paperback edition. 'The Demeter Diaries' is a record of love and longing and the inevitable horror that arises between the minds of Mina Harker and Vlad Dracula as they court one another in waking dreams. The dialogue, written in both poetry and prose, imagines a psychic connection that develops between the two even before Dracula arrives in England. As Dracula makes his way from Transylvania to Whitby on the doomed ship Demeter, the two would-be lovers transmit their thoughts across the waves and lands that separate them, alternately wooing and terrifying one another with the idea of love eternal and all the dark delicacies necessary to ensure it.  "What a wonderful idea for a poetry collection! Bryan Dietrich and Marge Simon have collaborated on The Demeter Diaries, a conversation in poetry between Mina and Vlad from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Vlad's lines are suitably tight, classical, the use of enjambment tightly locking the lines together and emphasizing Vlad's considered choice of words--after all, he's had a few extra decades to think about them. Mina's lines are long and prose-like, evoking her enthusiastic romanticism with a kind of breathlessness. It's well-suited to her part in this dramatic dialogue, allowing her to show off her lady's education and quote from her reading (in this case segments of the poetry of Keats and Poe). Simon and Dietrich appropriately end the sequence with two poems in parallel, with short lines from each alternating down the page as the lovers call and respond. An impressive collaboration."

 Recensione di Silvia Riccò di Horror Dipendenza della novella WIDOW'S POINT - IL FARO MALEDETTO di Richard Chizmar:
Gli amanti del genere "found footage" apprezzeranno sicuramente Widow's Point, il cui stile ne è una sorta di corrispettivo letterario. Ci viene descritto ciò che la telecamera del ghosthunter ha registrato; il romanzo è quindi originale nella forma e si articola su una serie di testimonianze video ed audio, più i rapporti finali della polizia. La lettura è estremamente scorrevole e seppur la storia non brilli per originalità riesce comunque a ad essere molto accattivante, sia per la maniera curiosa in cui ci viene riportata (tramite messaggi audio/video), sia per il ritmo incalzante. Gli autori riescono nell'intento di inquietare e creare ansia e claustrofobia, evitando esagerazioni o spiegoni fastidiosi. La vicenda è una rapida escalation di follia: il protagonista è vittima, come nella più tradizionale storia di fantasmi, di un veloce declino psicologico e la sua sanità mentale sembra scivolare via insieme alla marea. Le visioni che lo tormentano sono semplici allucinazioni? O il luogo è veramente infestato? Ad arricchire la storia di fascino e mistero sono alcuni elementi enigmatici, come gli antichi graffiti ritrovati nelle grotte lungo la cosa… La luce del faro, che doveva essere guida per le navi, ha invece richiamato qualcosa che viveva sotto le onde e che ora riempie l'antico edificio col suo potere maligno. Di Widow's Point è in lavorazione un adattamento cinematografico che dovrebbe uscire proprio quest'anno. Acquista il libro su Amazon |
