    Misunderstood and overmedicated, twelve-year-old Lilith Bloom finds the prospect of a grand family reunion decidedly dull... That is, until she discovers that the rose garden surrounding her grandfather's Berlin mansion is, well, completely and utterly carnivorous. Armed with Panther, her talking pet whippet, and the help of the mute boy next door, Lilith must unravel the secrets behind the mysterious estate, all while her family remains gloriously unaware that they are about to be devoured.

    Sommaire:

    A copy editor suffers brain damage from West Nile virus and is suddenly filled with cannibalistic violence and award-winning minimalist poetry. (It’s a little like Awakenings, but directed by David Cronenberg.)

    Mayor McCheese visits a sexually repressed British couple in the early 1970s and touches their lives forever. (Okay, try this: Pasolini’s Teorema but with Mayor McCheese.)

    A Texas doctor transplants the mind of a meth-addicted convict into the body of a suburban web developer, resulting in America’s first “death-penalty case that turned into a custody case that turned into a right-to-die case.” (It’s like a hole drilled in your head and five HBO original movies poured in all at once.)

    Startlingly original but anchored by vivid characters, Ronald Reagan, My Father weaves all these ideas, and more, into a bleakly hilarious vision that’s both human and uncanny – as if Raymond Carver was marooned on Mars with ten hours to live.

    Archeologists in the Amazon Basin are savagely massacred and all that survives is a solitary box of relics. This same box begins a circuitous journey from boat to boat, from port to port and ends up a battered delivery to the New York Museum of Natural History only to be relegated to a locked basement and forgotten. Only the black heart of the Amazon never forgets. On the eve of the Museum's massive new exhibition that includes a strange figurine never displayed before, people begin turning up savagely murdered amid rumors of a "Museum beast." Forensic evidence shows the killer to be terrifyingly strong and viciously destructive. Tension builds as a graduate student working in the Museum, Margo Green, discovers a link between the killings, the Amazon expedition deaths and the unusual figurine.

    Sommaire:

    Par cette réécriture horrifique du conte célèbre Raiponce, engouffrez-vous au coeur d'un abîme où les masques de monstre et de victime couvrent le même visage ; où tous, y compris les sauveurs, n'échappent pas aux règles qui dictent l'abomination humaine. Un incendie mortel dans un hôpital psychiatrique pour enfants. Des jeunes femmes qui disparaissent de manière inexpliquée. Une adolescente capturée à son tour par un être défiguré qui se plaît à lui brosser sauvagement les cheveux au creux d'une mine désaffectée. Un chasseur psychopathe découvrant par hasard le repaire du monstre. Et l'horreur sanglante qui s'englue dans les mèches blondes de ce trophée vivant.

    The fiction and poetry of Queer Little Nightmares reimagines monsters old and new through a queer lens, subverting the horror gaze to celebrate ideas and identities canonically feared in monster lit. Throughout history, monsters have appeared in popular culture as stand-ins for the non-conforming, the marginalized of society. Pushed into the shadows as objects of fear, revulsion, and hostility, these characters have long conjured fascination and self-identification in the LGBTQ+ community, and over time, monsters have become queer icons. Creatures of myth and folklore seek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, and classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. The characters in these stories and poems, the Minotaur camouflaged in a crowd of cosplayers, a pubescent werewolf, a Hindu revenant waiting to reunite with her lover, a tender-hearted kaiju, a lagoon creature aching for the swimmers above him, a ghost of Pride past, relish their new sparkle in the spotlight. Pushing against tropes that have historically been used to demonize, the queer creators of this collection instead ask: What does it mean to be (and to love) a monster?

What he finds instead is a mysterious half-breed zombie woman who may know where she is. When the township is overrun by zombies, Tom, the half-breed and a group of grizzled zombie hunters must fend for themselves in order to survive not only the zombie horde, but the military gunships trying to wipe out the infection.
