Eraldo Baldini

Ha iniziato a dedicarsi alla narrativa dalla fine degli anni ottanta, dopo essersi specializzato in antropologia culturale ed etnografia ed avere scritto diversi saggi in quei campi. La sua prima produzione a carattere mystery è la raccolta di racconti Nella nebbia pubblicata dallo stesso editore degli studi sul folklore romagnolo; la rinomanza di Baldini cresce poi gradualmente da quando, nel 1991, vince il Mystfest di Cattolica con il racconto Re di Carnevale. Per la sua narrativa viene coniato il termine di «gotico rurale» perché Baldini è riuscito a trasportare un genere tipicamente anglosassone e (negli autori moderni) tipicamente cittadino, nei panorami familiari della campagna romagnola.
Oltre ad essere un romanziere affermato in Ital

Though many petitions to ban the book saw Ellis dropped by Simon & Schuster, the resounding controversy convinced Alfred A. Knopf to release it as a paperback later that y

Thomas Ligotti

Thomas Ligotti is a contemporary American horror author and reclusive literary cult figure. His writings, while unique in style, have been noted as major continuations of several literary genres—most prominently Lovecraftian horror—and have overall been described as works of "philosophical horror", often written as philosophical novels with a "darker" undertone which is similar to gothic fiction. The Washington Post called him "the best kept secret in contemporary horror fiction"; another critic declared "It's a skilled writer indeed who can suggest a horror so shocking that one is grateful it was kept offstage."
