Victor LaValle

    3 febbraio 1972

    Victor LaValle è un maestro degli ibridi di genere, che scava nelle profondità oscure della psiche umana e nelle disuguaglianze sociali. Le sue narrazioni sono caratterizzate da una cruda onestà e un esame penetrante di temi come razza, classe e vulnerabilità, spesso ambientate in scenari inquietanti e soprannaturali. Lo stile di LaValle è intenso e accessibile, attirando i lettori in storie che sono tanto emotivamente risonanti quanto stimolanti. La sua opera esplora cosa significa essere umani in un mondo intriso di paura e incertezza.

      "Adelaide Henry carries an enormous steamer trunk with her wherever she goes. It's locked at all times. Because when the trunk is opened, people around her start to disappear... The year is 1915, and Adelaide is in trouble. Her secret sin killed her parents, and forced her to flee her hometown of Redondo, California, in a hellfire rush, ready to make her way to Montana as a homesteader. Dragging the trunk with her at every stop, she will be one of the 'lone women' taking advantage of the government's offer of free land for those who can cultivate it--except that Adelaide isn't alone. And the secret she's tried so desperately to lock away might be the only thing keeping her alive"-- Provided by publisher

But even mutants must deal with monsters in their midst, and Victor Creed is perhaps the worst.

Now, you're about to find out what Sabretooth has been up to since he was banished...and it's not what you expect!
