2017br. Più di cinquant'anni fa, in una placida cittadina del New England, un'ombra si allunga sui giochi di un bambino di sei anni. Quando il piccolo Jamie alza lo sguardo, sopra di lui si staglia la figura rassicurante del nuovo reverendo, appena arrivato per dare linfa alla vita spirituale della congregazione. Intelligente, giovane e simpatico, Charles Jacobs conquista la fiducia dei suoi parrocchiani e l'amicizia incondizionata del bambino: per lui il pastore è un eroe, soprattutto dopo che gli ha "salvato" il fratello con una delle sue strepitose invenzioni elettriche. Ma l'idillio dura solo tre anni: la tragedia si abbatte come un fulmine su Jacobs, tutto il suo mondo è ridotto in cenere e a lui rimane solo l'urlo disperato contro il Dio che lo ha tradito. E il bando dal piccolo Eden che credeva di avere trovato. Trent'anni dopo, quando Jamie avrà attraversato l'America in compagnia dell'inseparabile chitarra che l'ha reso famoso, e dei demoni artificiali che ha incontrato lungo il cammino, l'ombra di Charles Jacobs lo avvolgerà ancora: questa volta per suggellare un patto terribile e definitivo. "Revival" è il racconto di due vite, quella che King ha vissuto e quella che avrebbe potuto vivere, attraverso due personaggi formidabili per potenza e fragilità, due uomini ai quali accade di incontrare il demonio e di affondare nel suo cuore di tenebra.

2019br. Scritto quasi in contemporanea con il saggio "The Outsider" e pubblicato nel 1960, "Riti notturni" apre la trilogia di Colin Wilson, tra i grandi irregolari della letteratura inglese. Anche qui l'autore torna a indagare, in forma narrativa, la figura dell'outsider, un intellettuale che sfida le convenzioni sociali alla ricerca del senso profondo della vita. Gerard Sorme, un giovane londinese solitario, fa amicizia con Austin Nunne, artista omosessuale ricco, affascinante e dagli irrefrenabili appetiti sessuali. Nel frattempo, nei vicoli bui del quartiere di Whitechapel, un serial killer uccide con una brutalità che ricorda quella di Jack lo Squartatore. La polizia sospetta che si tratti di un maniaco, ma Gerard ha una sua teoria sulle ragioni profonde di quegli omicidi... Una storia evocativa, potente, che spalanca interrogativi sul confine tra realtà e illusione e indaga le pulsioni ancestrali che attanagliano l'uomo.
2020ill., ril. Bob Saetta è un uomo d'onore. Eliminare ogni ostacolo che impedisce alla sua famiglia di essere la più importante tra le cosche mafiose di Brooklyn è il suo lavoro. Ma anche un killer senza scrupoli come lui ha una morale. Questa è la storia di come Bob ha deciso di tradire suo fratello e l'organizzazione che gestisce in nome della sua integrità e di una personalissima idea di giustizia. Questa è la storia della redenzione di uno dei più brutali assassini di New York. "Ritorno a Brooklyn" è una crime story che colpisce allo stomaco e invita a riflettere sulle infinite occasioni che un uomo, anche il più malvagio, ha per diventare un eroe. "Ritorno a Brooklyn" è nato dall'immaginazione e dalla personale esperienza di vita di Jimmy Palmiotti ed è diventato un racconto violento e oscuro sceneggiato da Garth Ennis e disegnato da Mihailo Vukelic.
