She thinks I'm a shadow, her protector. And I am. But I'm more. So is she. Destiny dictates we belong together, but part of me hates her, blames her for what happened last time I saved her.

Greener Pastures
Summary
In his striking debut collection, Greener Pastures, Michael Wehunt shows why he is a powerful new voice in horror and literary weird fiction. From the round-robin, found-footage nightmare of "October Film Haunt: Under the House," (selected for the year's best dark fantasy & horror) to the jazz-soaked "The Devil Under the Maison Blue," (selected for both the year's best dark fantasy & horror and year's best weird fiction), these beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant stories speak of the unknown encroaching upon the familiar, the inscrutable power of grief and desire, and the thinness between all our layers. Where nature rubs against small towns, in mountains and woods and bedrooms, here is strangeness seen through a poet's eye. They say there are always greener pastures. These stories consider the cost of that promise.

El Gato Negro
Summary
El relato "El gato negro" se publicó por vez primera en el periódico United States Saturday Post, en 1843. El gato como símbolo del mal tiene una larga tradición en Occidente. En la supersticiosa Edad Media llegó incluso a representar a Satanás al visitar la tierra; era el animal de compañía de las brujas. En el romanticismo se puso de moda como animal literario por excelencia, por su aire misterioso, sus ojos relucientes y su aparente serenidad. El propio autor del relato, Edgar Allan Poe, tuvo en casa ese animal doméstico. Pero en realidad, el gato es aquí la víctima de los desvaríos y alucinaciones, por no hablar de los instintos criminales del narrador. Con el relato El gato negro, tenemos de nuevo el tema del "crimen perfecto" planeado fríamente por un asesino inteligente y calculador. En su interior, el propio narrador lucha contra sus insatisfacciones y frustraciones acrecentadas por el alcoholismo, y trama una venganza inmolando al inocente animal, por el que sentía gran afecto. El gato es el ojo acusador, su propia conciencia, capaz de examinar su psique desviada y enloquecida. Su maldad psicopática lleva al protagonista al asesinato.

Monster: The Story of a Young Mary Shelley
Summary
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the book that changed the world
Monster: Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a movie starring Elle Fanning as Mary Shelley, Monster is a brilliant fictionalized biography akin to The Other Boleyn Girl.
Frankenstein: Two centuries ago this year, the young woman who invented science fiction was only 20 when she wrote the book that became Frankenstein. Mary Shelley said, “People ask how I, then a young girl, could think of, and dilate upon, so hideous subject?”
Gothic romance: Her father gave her a far better education than any woman of the age could hope for and made her the victim of ongoing incest. At 15, she became involved with one of the greatest poets in England and made love to him on her mother’s grave. When she was 16, she escaped from home by running away for a six-week walking tour of Europe and formed a ménage à trois with Percy Shelley and her sister.
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein: Her immediate influences were two of the greatest poets of the age. Her lover, Percy Shelley, coached her to expand her understanding of writing. Her mentor, Lord Byron, challenged her to prove she was as good a writer as the best poet-philosophers of the Enlightenment. Both men admired her mind, and both wanted more. By the time she was 20, she had published the book that changed the world.
