Guillermo del Toro Knihy

Příběh jako z jiného světa zasazený do Ameriky šedesátých let a odehrávající se na pozadí studené války. Elisa žije osamělý život v malé špeluňce nad kinem Arcade v Baltimoru. Pracuje jako uklízečka v přísně střeženém výzkumném středisku a jedinou radostí pro ni je, když si před noční směnou vybírá, jaké střevíčky na podpatcích si obuje. Ale poté, co s kolegyní Zeldou odhalí utajovaný vládní experiment, se její dosavadní život navždy změní. Tvář vody je neobvyklý a křehký příběh o lásce, svobodě, sebeúctě a rovnováze v přírodě, který zpracovali dva umělci ve dvou různých médiích. Tvář vody ve filmovém zpracování obdržena dva Zlaté glóby – za režii Guillerma del Tora a hudbu Alexandra Desplata.

Vampýří virus zaplavil New York, šíří se a brzy se objeví po celé zeměkouli. Válka mezi vampýry Starého a Nového světa zuří naplno a lidé jsou zaskočeni svou hrůzu nahánějící nově nabytou pozicí v potravním řetězci. Efraim Goodweather z Centra pro kontrolu nemocí se spolu s profesorem Setrakianem a deratizátorem Vasilijem Fetem snaží krvežíznivé bestie zastavit. Navíc se městem plíží bývalá Efraimova manželka Kelly, z níž se také stal noční tvor dychtící po krvi, a hledá příležitost získat zpět jejich syna Zacka.

Byli tu vždy. Upíři. V ústraní a temnotě. Čekali. Teď přišel jejich čas. Během týdne dostanou Manhattan. Za měsíc celou zemi. Za dva měsíce – celý svět. Boeing 777 přiletí na letiště JFK v New Yorku a v pořádku roluje k terminálu, když tu se najednou letadlo zastaví a systémy přestanou reagovat. Všechny rolety v okénkách jsou zatažené, nikde žádné světlo, komunikační kanály utichly. Pozemní personál tápe ve zmatku, než konečně povolá na pomoc tým pro vyšetřování biologických hrozeb. Na palubu letadla vstupuje Dr. Efraim Goodweather, šéf týmu, a z toho, co tam najde, mu ztuhne krev v žilách. Co se děje, naopak dobře chápe Abraham Setrakian, starý pán, který přežil holocaust, pak se stal vídeňským profesorem a nakonec zastavárníkem ve Španělském Harlemu. Ví, že v tuto chvíli začíná válka… Rozhoří se monumentální bitva s vampýřím virem, který zamořuje ulice New Yorku. Doktor Goodweather, ke kterému se přidá Setrakian a pestrá hrstka bojovníků, se musí pokusit nákazu zastavit a zachránit město, v němž žijí i jeho manželka a syn. Vizionářský tvůrce oskarového filmu Faunův labyrint Guillermo del Toro a spisovatel, nositel Hammettovy ceny, Chuck Hogan společně vložili svou fantazii do smělého, epického románu o děsivé bitvě mezi člověkem a vampýrem, který ohrožuje veškeré lidstvo. Toto je první díl napínavé trilogie a neobyčejného mezinárodního vydavatelského počinu.

Od doby, kdy se vampýrský virus rozšířil po celém světě a dovedl celé lidské pokolení na pokraj totální devastace zkázy, uplynuly již dva dlouhé roky. Zhoubný kmen se rozmnožil napříč zemí a zanechal za sebou jen naprostou zkázu. Světu vládne temná nekonečná noc. Na bílý den, slunce a modrou oblohu můžou ti, kdo přežili, jen vzpomínat. Je nukleární zima. Atmosféra Země je nasycena jedy. Sluneční paprsek se prodere k těžce zkoušené zemi maximálně na dvě hodiny denně. To, co zabíjí lidi, je naopak velmi výhodné pro vampýry. Jejich rasa prochází další evolucí a rozmachem. Mocný upíří vládce, prastarý vampýr zvyný Mistr je vede k naprostému ovládnutí Země. Systematicky jsou vybíjení všichni lidé, kteří by měli světu co nabídnout. Genocida není náhodná, oběťmi jsou především ti nejchytřejší, nejmocnější a nejbohatší lidé. Po takových je pečlivě pátráno a jsou likvidováni. Bez nich bude lidská rasa bezmocná a vydaná všanc krutým a krvelačným vampýrům.

A horrific crime that defies ordinary explanation. A rookie FBI agent in dangerous, uncharted territory. An extraordinary hero for the ages. Odessa Hardwicke's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, a decorated FBI agent who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. The shooting, justified by self-defense, shakes the young FBI agent to her core. Devasted, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what most troubles Odessa isn't the tragedy itself-it's the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent's body after his death. Questioning her future with the FBI and her sanity, Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent in the New York office. What she finds there will put her on the trail of a mysterious figure named John Silence, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic, or humanity's best and only defense against unspeakable evil.
