Jesse Bullington Libri

Nel 1364, l'Europa è devastata dalla Peste Nera, un deserto di disperazione popolato da scheletri di sopravvissuti. In questo contesto di fame e paura, il prossimo diventa un nemico da affrontare con la forza. Storie di streghe e demoni alimentano il terrore, mentre Hegel e Manfried Grossbart, due ladri di tombe, sfidano ogni maledizione. Convinti di essere protetti dalla Vergine Maria, si dedicano a svaligiare cimiteri. Il loro obiettivo è chiaro: raggiungere l'Egitto per depredare le necropoli faraoniche. Oltre a essere ladri, sono assassini spietati, pronti a tutto per il loro scopo. Il romanzo mescola folklore dei fratelli Grimm e l’ironia di Quentin Tarantino, presentando fattucchiere passionali, morti viventi, crociate, eresie e mostri sanguinari. In questo medioevo inquietante, la narrazione coinvolge il lettore in una storia ricca di colpi di scena, dove le leggende oscure si materializzano nella realtà.

As the witch-pyres of the Spanish Inquisition blanket Renaissance Europe in a moral haze, a young African slave is unwillingly apprenticed to an ancient necromancer. Her tormentor has bound her with a curse forged from blood and spirit. But salvation could lie in arcane writings her tutor has hidden on the war-torn continent . . . Jesse Bullington casts his own macabre spell over the late middle ages in a work that becomes compulsive, amusing and horrifying in quick succession. Praise for Jesse Bullington's previous work includes: * 'Darkly funny, profane, erudite, bawdy, and wickedly original' Jeff VanderMeer * 'As the antithesis of conventional fantasy, this is a tour de force' Telegraph * 'A quite extraordinary piece ... one of the books of the year' SFRevu.com * 'Raucous, lewd, and grisly' Esquire

On a stormy night in 1421, the North Sea delivers a devastating blow to Holland: the Saint Elizabeth Flood, a deluge of biblical proportions that drowns hundreds of towns, thousands of people, and forever alters the geography of the Low Countries. Where the factions of the noble Hooks and the merchant Cods waged a literal class war but weeks before, there is now only a nigh-endless expanse of grey water, a desolate inland sea with moldering church spires jutting up like sunken tombstones. For a land already beleaguered by generations of civil war, a worse disaster could scarce be imagined. Yet even disaster can be profitable, for the right sort of individual, and into this flooded realm sail three conspirators: a deranged thug at the edge of madness, a ruthless conman on the cusp of fortune, and a half-feral girl balanced between them. With The Folly of the World, Jesse Bullington has woven an extraordinary new tale of the depraved and the desperate.
