From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Heart-Shaped Box comes a chilling novel about a worldwide pandemic of spontaneous combustion that threatens to reduce civilization to ashes and a band of improbable heroes who battle to save it, led by one powerful and enigmatic man known as the Fireman. The fireman is coming. Stay cool. No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it’s Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies—before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe. Harper Grayson, a compassionate, dedicated nurse as pragmatic as Mary Poppins, treated hundreds of infected patients before her hospital burned to the ground. Now she’s discovered the telltale gold-flecked marks on her skin. When the outbreak first began, she and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact: they would take matters into their own hands if they became infected. To Jakob’s dismay, Harper wants to live—at least until the fetus she is carrying comes to term. At the hospital, she witnessed infected mothers give birth to healthy babies and believes hers will be fine too. . . if she can live long enough to deliver the child. Convinced that his do-gooding wife has made him sick, Jakob becomes unhinged, and eventually abandons her as their placid New England community collapses in terror. The chaos gives rise to ruthless Cremation Squads—armed, self-appointed posses roaming the streets and woods to exterminate those who they believe carry the spore. But Harper isn’t as alone as she fears: a mysterious and compelling stranger she briefly met at the hospital, a man in a dirty yellow fire fighter’s jacket, carrying a hooked iron bar, straddles the abyss between insanity and death. Known as The Fireman, he strolls the ruins of New Hampshire, a madman afflicted with Dragonscale who has learned to control the fire within himself, using it as a shield to protect the hunted . . . and as a weapon to avenge the wronged. In the desperate season to come, as the world burns out of control, Harper must learn the Fireman’s secrets before her life—and that of her unborn child—goes up in smoke.

NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns. Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country. Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.” Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.

Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache . . . and a pair of horns growing from his temples. At first Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances. A mental breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the world. But there was nothing natural about the horns, which were all too real. Once the righteous Ig had enjoyed the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned musician and younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, he had security, wealth, and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more—he had Merrin and a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. But Merrin's death damned all that. The only suspect in the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never cleared. In the court of public opinion in Gideon, New Hampshire, Ig is and always will be guilty because his rich and connected parents pulled strings to make the investigation go away. Nothing Ig can do, nothing he can say, matters. Everyone, it seems, including God, has abandoned him. Everyone, that is, but the devil inside. . . .

A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought gems of terror from the brilliantly imaginative, Joe Hill Snapshot is the disturbing story of a Silicon Valley adolescent who finds himself threatened by “The Phoenician,” a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camera that erases memories, snap by snap. A young man takes to the skies to experience his first parachute jump. . . and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero’s island of roiling vapor that seems animated by a mind of its own in Aloft. On a seemingly ordinary day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails—splinters of bright crystal that shred the skin of anyone not safely under cover. Rain explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads out across the country and around the world. In Loaded, a mall security guard in a coastal Florida town courageously stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun rights movement.

When an out-of-control summer blaze approaches the town, he will reach for the gun again and embark on one last day of reckoning.

An aging death-metal rock god, Judas Coyne, is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals... a used hangman's noose... a snuff film. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as an item he learns is for sale on the Internet. For a thousand dollars, Jude will become the proud owner of a dead man's suit, said to be haunted by the deceased's restless spirit. Judas has spent a lifetime coping with ghosts - of an abusive father, of the lovers he callously abandoned, of the bandmates he betrayed - so what's one more? But what UPS delivers to his door in a black heart-shaped box is no imaginary or metaphorical ghost, it's the real thing. And suddenly the suit's previous owner is everywhere - behind the bedroom door... seated in Jude's restored vintage Mustang... staring out from his widescreen TV - dangling a gleaming razor blade on a chain from one hand...

Uma lenda do rock pesado, o cinqüentão Judas Coyne coleciona objetos macabros: um livro de receitas para canibais, uma confissão de uma bruxa 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.

This special deluxe release finally reprints the oft-requested and long-denied Eisner-winning one-shot, “Open the Moon”! Plus the other long-sold-out one-shot, “Grindhouse”! PLUS, the even more hard-to-find IDW 10th anniversary Locke & Key tale, “In the Can”! Extra covers, behind-the-scenes photos, and more make this a truly worthy addition to the series the A.V. Club called a "modern masterpiece."

The rain lashes the grassy dunes of Brody Island, and seagulls scream above the bay. A slender figure in a raincoat carries a large wicker basket, which looks like it might be full of melons…covered by a bloodstained scrap of the American flag. This is the story of June Branch, a young woman trapped with four cunning criminals who have snatched her boyfriend for deranged reasons of their own. Now she must fight for her life with the help of an impossible 8th-century Viking axe that can pass through a man’s neck in a single swipe-and leave the severed head still conscious and capable of supernatural speech. Each disembodied head has a malevolent story of its own to tell, and it isn’t long before June finds herself in a desperate struggle to hack through their lies and manipulations...racing to save the man she loves before time runs out.  Plus, in the premiere chapter of the backup story “Sea Dogs,” which sails across all the Hill House Comics titles!

Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll—and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot—is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library. Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others—brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen—don’t hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world. But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year—or become his next meal.

Κανείς δεν ξέρει πώς και από πού ξεκίνησε η πανδημία. Το FOX έλεγε ότι ο μύκητας εξαπολύθηκε από το ISIS, με τη χρήση σπορίων που είχαν παρασκευαστεί από τους Ρώσους τη δεκαετία του 1980. Το MSNBC έλεγε ότι είχε δημιουργηθεί από βιολόγους της Χαλιμπάρτον και τον είχαν κλέψει φανατικοί Χριστιανοί κολλημένοι με την Αποκάλυψη. Το CNN ανέφερε και τις δύο θεωρίες. Οι γιατροί το αποκαλούν Draco incendia trychophyton. Για όλους τους υπόλοιπους είναι απλώς το Δρακόστιγμα.

Και τότε, ο Πυροσβέστης έρχεται… Ο πολυβραβευμένος Τζο Χιλ επιστρέφει με μια συναρπαστική ιστορία επιβίωσης στο τέλος του κόσμου και παρουσιάζει ένα καθηλωτικό δυστοπικό μυθιστόρημα, το οποίο ψηφίστηκε από το παγκόσμιο αναγνωστικό κοινό ως το Καλύτερο Βιβλίο Τρόμου στα Goodreads Choice Awards 2016.
