Douglas E. Winter - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

Pestilence, floods, war, social upheaval, drug crime, wicked leaders, conspiracies, corruption even visions of death-dealing aliens -- this superb collection of stories takes an unforgettable imaginative journey into terror and transcendence. Each decade of the twentieth century is assigned to one of the top fantasy/horror authors of the modern age who evokes the particular madness of that decade as it contributes to a prophecy for the next century. Decade by decade as the millennium approaches in these powerful, chilling tales, the tension builds toward a dramatic revelation that is both a prophetic warning and a visionary answer for all humankind.

A singular publishing event, Revelations is a stunning anthology-novel by modern superstars of fantasy and horror, including New York Times -- bestselling author Clive Barker, David J. Schow, and Ramsey Campbell.

One of the year's most acclaimed thriller debuts, Douglas E. Winter's Run is a no-holds barred breakout blockbuster of suspense -- the story of a legitimate arms dealer making an illegal gun run. When he incurs the wrath of cops, coworkers, and criminals, he's left with no options but to run.

Clive Barker: a modern myth-maker, explorer of our darkest instincts and ultimate fears, the writer who -- more than any other contemporary figure -- has shaped our nightmares through diverse media. Novelist, playwright, scriptwriter, artist and director, he is a master at twisting the mundane to make it fantastic, frightening and ultimately meaningful.

Douglas E. Winter's detailed and highly literate biography, made possible by unprecedented access to Barker and his closest friends and family, offers readers a privileged insight into Barker's own story: his Liverpool childhood and adolescence; his forays into the world of theatre, mime and direction; his meteoric rise to fame as the author of the Books of Blood and Weaveworld, and the director of Hellraiser; his move to Hollywood to pursue a film career and his growth as an artist in many different media, which has taken him from theatre -- the first form of human expression -- into the digital age.

Interwoven with this revealing and personal journey into Barker's life is a grand tour through all of his fiction and film, from his earliest unpublished work -- including the short story "The Wood on the Hill," which is published here for the first time -- up to his most recent novel, Coldheart Canyon and beyond, giving a tantalising glimpse of things to come.

Clive Barker: The Dark Fantastic unlocks the beating heart of a polymath, a creator, a true artist, and reveals at last a man with one of the twentieth century's most phenomenal imaginations, and the vision to lead us on many strange and fabulous journeys in the years ahead.

Krimibestenliste Juni 2018!Douglas E. Winters wahnwitziger H?llenritt RUN – SEIN LETZTER DEAL ist eine Verbeugung vor den Cop-Thrillern der 80er- und 90er Jahre und dem Actionkino eines John Woo.Ein illegaler Waffendeal. Ein Attentat. Und ein Bauernopfer, das zwischen alle Fronten ger?t."RUN ist jeder Hinsicht originell und eine meisterhafte Neuinterpretation eines Krimi-Thrillers." [Peter Straub]Burdon Lane lebt den Amerikanischen Traum. Sein Job ist es, regelm??ig Waffen dorthin zu liefern, wo sie gebraucht werden – in jene amerikanischen Problemviertel, in denen sich die Bewohner mit besonderer Regelm??igkeit gegenseitig erschie?en und wo die Beh?rden gern eine Auge zudr?cken. Ziel seiner j?ngsten Lieferung ist es, zwei verfeindete Stra?engangs in Harlem zu bewaffnen. Das System ist erprobt und todsicher. Was Burdon jedoch nicht wei?: Die Regierung hat bei diesem Deal ihre H?nde im Spiel. Und was die Beh?rden nicht wissen: Der Deal ist nur ein Vorwand f?r einen weitaus perfideren Plan. Als der Deal platzt, bricht die H?lle los. Pl?tzlich erschie?en die Waffenh?ndler ihre eigenen Leute, die Cops scheinen keine echten Cops zu sein, und als sich der Pulverdampf verzieht, ist Burdon Lane pl?tzlich auf der Flucht – vor seinen Auftraggebern, den Feds, und so ziemlich jedem Cop entlang der Ostk?ste. Mit zwei Millionen Dollar, einem ungew?hnlichen Verb?ndeten, und jeder Menge Waffen."Ein einzigartiger Roman, der das Hard-Boiled-Genre meilenweit hinter sich l?sst … Winters gekonnter Erz?hlstil schafft ein unnachgiebiges Tempo, erg?nzt von einem zielsicheren Gesp?r f?r Waffenfetischismus und Popkultur. Als das Deb?t des Jahres hat dieses Buch alle Zutaten, ein k?nftiger Klassiker zu werden." [The Guardian]"Brillant ausgearbeitet … allein das schiere Tempo von Douglas E. Winters Roman RUN ist atemberaubend. Eine aussergew?hnliche Leistung." [Clive Barker]
