"Großartig!" - Spiegel Online
From the New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Horns, and the award-winning story collection 20th Century Ghosts, comes this e-short story.
Saunders made his fortune as a hatchet man for hire and has come to England to do what he does best: chop down the little guys to clear the way for a global firm. But his train north just made an unexpected stop to let on some passengers straight out of the worst kind of fairy tale. Now he's up to his ankles in blood and finding out just what it really means to live in a dog-eat-dog world...
Charlie Manx ist ein sehr, sehr böser Mann mit einem sehr, sehr bösen Auto. Er entführt Kinder nach »Christmasland«, wo ewige Weihnacht herrschen soll. Die Kinder erwartet dort jedoch etwas Schreckliches, und es gibt keinen Weg zurück. Mit seinem Meisterwerk moderner Fantastik entführt uns der mehrfach preisgekrönte Bestsellerautor Joe Hill auf einen unvergesslichen Horrortrip.
Vicky, für ihren Vater einfach nur »das Gör«, hat die geheime Gabe, Dinge zu finden – verlorenen Schmuck, verlegte Fotos, Antworten auf unbeantwortbare Fragen. Dazu muss sie sich einfach nur auf ihr Fahrrad schwingen. Über die nahe gelegene alte Holzbrücke gelangt sie dann im Handumdrehen, wohin sie will, an all die meilenweit entfernten Orte, wo sich das Verlorene befindet. Der Kleinen ist klar, dass andere (ihre Eltern!) darüber nur ungläubig den Kopf schütteln würden. Sie glaubt es ja selbst nicht richtig.
Auch Charlie Manx hat eine spezielle Gabe. Er ist so in Kinder vernarrt, dass er sie gleich dutzendweise kidnappt. Über verborgene Wege bringt er sie in seinem unheimlichen Rolls-Royce nach »Christmasland«, wo er ewige Weihnacht zu feiern verspricht. Und da Vicky immer wieder Ärger anzieht, ist es kein Wunder, dass sich ihre Wege und die von Charlie irgendwann einmal kreuzen. Aber sie ist gewitzt genug, dem Häscher zu entkommen.
Das ist jetzt Jahre her, und aus dem einzigen Kind, das Charlie je entwischen konnte, ist eine junge Frau geworden, die am liebsten alles vergessen würde. Nur dass Charlie niemand ist, der etwas vergisst. Eines Tages nimmt er Vicky das Wichtigste in ihrem Leben. Kann sie es wiederfinden? Ein gnadenloser Kampf entbrennt, und Vicky will nur eines: Charlie endgültig vernichten ...
Uma lenda do rock pesado, o cinqüentão Judas Coyne coleciona objetos macabros: um livro de receitas para canibais, uma confissão de uma bruxa de de 300 anos atrás, um laço usado num enforcamento, uma fita com cenas reais de assassinato. Por isso, quando fica sabendo de um estranho leilão na internet, ele não pensa duas vezes antes de fazer uma oferta.
"Vou 'vender' o fantasma do meu padrasto pelo lance mais alto..."
Por 1.000 dólares, o roqueiro se torna o feliz proprietário do paletó de um morto, supostamente assombrado pelo espírito do antigo dono. Sempre às voltas com seus próprios fantasmas – o pai violento, as mulheres que usou e descartou, os colegas de banda que traiu –, Jude não tem medo de encarar mais um.
Mas tudo muda quando o paletó finalmente é entregue na sua casa, numa caixa preta em forma de coração. Desta vez, não se trata de uma curiosidade inofensiva nem de um fantasma imaginário. Sua presença é real e ameaçadora.
O espírito parece estar em todos os lugares, à espreita, balançando na mão cadavérica uma lâmina reluzente – verdadeira sentença de morte. O roqueiro logo descobre que o fantasma não entrou na sua vida por acaso e só sairá dela depois de se vingar. O morto é Craddock McDermott, o padrasto de uma fã que cometeu suicídio depois de ser abandonada por Jude.
Numa corrida desesperada para salvar sua vida, Jude faz as malas e cai na estrada com sua jovem namorada gótica. Durante a perseguição implacável do fantasma, o astro do rock é obrigado a enfrentar seu passado em busca de uma saída para o futuro. As verdadeiras motivações de vivos e mortos vão se revelando pouco a pouco em A estrada da noite – e nada é exatamente o que parece.
Ancorando o sobrenatural na realidade psicológica de personagens complexos e verossímeis, Joe Hill consegue um feito raro: em seu romance de estréia, já é considerado um novo mestre do suspense e do terror.

Inspired by Richard Matheson's classic "Duel," "Throttle," by Joe Hill and Stephen King, is a duel of a different kind, pitting a faceless trucker against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in the simmering Nevada desert. Their battle is fought out on twenty miles of the most lonely road in the country, a place where the only thing worse than not knowing what you're up against, is slowing down . . .
Stories, edited by bestselling authors Neil Gaiman (author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane and the epic American Gods) and Al Sarrantonio, is 'an unmissable collection' (Guardian), filled with distinctive, original and thrilling tales from writers such a Jodi Picoult, Lawrence Block, Roddy Doyle and many more.
Rather than being dictated by genre, for co-editors Gaiman and Sarrantonio there is only one true distinction in fiction: the one dividing realistic and imaginative fiction. STORIES is a collection of the very best original fiction from some of the most imaginative writers in the world, as well as a showcase for some of fiction's newer stars.
One hell of a huge book of great, exciting stories which will become a uniting force for readers of all forms of imaginative fiction.
