La sangre manda book cover
La sangre manda
Stephen King - 2020-04-21
Calificación de Goodreads
Cuatro novelas cortas sobre las fuerzas ocultas que nos acechan. Una colección única que incluye una impactante secuela de El visitante. La sangre vende. Así reza la máxima periodística que hará que Holly Gibney, la detective a la que Bill Hodges legó su agencia Finders Keepers, se interese por la matanza en el instituto Albert Macready y acabe enganchada a las noticias. Algo no encaja y el fantasma de la coartada perfecta del terrorífico visitante será el detonante en su primer caso en solitario. Si bien Holly no tendrá ayuda en la secuela del exitoso noir paranormal del rey del terror, en este libro la acompañan tres historias más. En la primera, un niño tiene como guardaespaldas al fantasma de un millonario excéntrico. En la segunda, el mundo se acaba: hay múltiples terremotos, internet ha caído y la peste está mermando a la Humanidad mientras ciudades de todas partes se llenan de enigmáticos carteles. Y, en la última, un escritor se instala en una cabaña aislada para escribir una novela, y acaba enfrentándose a sus propios demonios. Cuatro relatos largos en los que el legendario narrador de cuentos y autor superventas, sorprende nuevamente a los lectores y les conduce a lugares intrigantes a la vez que aterradores.

Eleanor Oliphant está perfectamente
A Novel
Gail Honeyman - 2018-01-18 (publicado por primera vez en 2017)
Calificación de Goodreads
Nadie le dijo a Eleanor que la vida podía ser mejor. Eleanor Oliphant siempre dice lo que piensa. Lucha por dejar de ser alguien con pocas habilidades sociales. Se ha preparado un calendario vital cuidadoso y estricto para evitar interacciones sociales: los fines de semana los pasa sola comiendo pizza congelada y bebiendo vodka y todos los miércoles habla con su madre. Pero todo cambia cuando Eleanor conoce a Raymond, el informático de la oficina. Juntos abandonarán la soledad en la que han estado viviendo. Una novela cálida y elegante. La historia de una heroína fuera de lo común, cuya inexplicable rareza e ingenio descarado la llevará a darse cuenta de que la única manera de sobrevivir en el mundo real es abriendo su corazón a la amistad.

This is a book that around the 30th page I had to put away because it hurt too much, a visceral pain, but I finished it in one go the next day. Eating Wasps is a beautiful, unsettling read. #EatingWasps #bookrecommendations #AnitaNair      fuente

When I Hit You
Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife
Meena Kandasamy - 2017-05-04
Calificación de Goodreads
A courageous novel set in modern India, exploring the extreme violence faced by a newly-wed woman at the hands of her university professor husband. Based on the author's own experience, the story delves into intellectual and physical cruelty and the isolating effects of abuse. Despite the harrowing subject matter, the protagonist finds hope in the power of writing to act as her salvation, weaving themes of fiction and storytelling throughout. Tender and lyrical, this book is a smart and fierce exploration of defiance in the face of domestic violence.
