    • Duistere zaken

      Stephen King

      Paranormale fantasy King is al een halve eeuw de meesterverteller en schrijft in Duistere zaken over het lot, sterfelijkheid en geluk. In zijn korte verhalen buigt hij de realiteit naar zijn hand en creëert hij een werkelijkheid waar alles kan gebeuren. De verhalen zijn een genot om te lezen, even rijk in thematiek en meeslepend als zijn thrillers. ‘Twee getalenteerde rotzakken’ onderzoekt het lang verborgen geheim van twee gelijknamige heren en hoe zij aan hun vaardigheden kwamen. In ‘Danny Coughlins nare droom’ zet een korte en onverwachte psychische flits tientallen levens op zijn kop – dat van Danny het meest van allemaal. In ‘Ratelslangen’, een vervolg op Cujo, reist een rouwende weduwnaar naar Florida voor een dringend verzoek, maar krijgt in plaats daarvan een onverwachte erfenis – met een venijnig addertje onder het gras. In ‘De dromers’ reageert een zwijgzame Vietnamveteraan op een vacature en ontdekt dat sommige uithoeken van het universum het beste onontdekt kunnen blijven

When a new girl, Medha, is selected to take over her position, Binsa and her demon strike a deal: to magnify his power and help her wrest control from the priests, she will sacrifice human lives.

    • Mistborn: Secret History

      Brandon Sanderson

      Epische fantasy Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn Trilogy. As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn ( The Final Empire ), The Well of Ascension , and The Hero of Ages . It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning . Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best. In short, this isn’t the place to start your journey into Mistborn. (Though if you have read the trilogy—but it has been a while—you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books.) Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story’s existence is, in a way, a spoiler. There’s always another secret.
