Stephen Graham Jones

    Stephen Graham Jones è un autore bestseller del New York Times le cui opere spesso si immergono in temi oscuri ed emozionanti, con una particolare predilezione per i licantropi e gli horror slasher. La sua prosa, influenzata da una vasta gamma di romanzi amati, esplora complesse psicologie dei personaggi, concentrandosi frequentemente su individui che lottano sia con demoni interiori che con minacce esterne. La capacità di Jones di creare atmosfere intense e immagini viscerali lo contraddistingue come una voce distintiva nella narrativa contemporanea.

Set on richly imagined planets scattered across the cosmos but linked once again by near-instantaneous travel, these stories introduce you to characters-human and otherwise-navigating love and loss, alliance and intrigue, violence and betrayal, and, most of all, the joys and perils of exploration and scientific discovery. Accept the invitation. Step into a transpod of your own and slip through the Mass-O. You never know where you'll end up.
