Лучшие книги Джоша Малермана

Оно ждет тебя за порогом. Оно... нечто ужасное, нечто такое, чего ни в коем случае нельзя разглядывать. Потому что один лишь взгляд на это существо? устройство? человека? грозит безумием и гибелью. Человечество перестало существовать. Горстка выживших прячется в заброшенных домах с заколоченными окнами, не решаясь выйти наружу. Мэлани, мать-одиночка с двумя детьми, решается наконец бежать из своего дома-тюрьмы — бежать туда, где, по слухам, еще есть люди, туда, где безопасно. Ей предстоит ужасное испытание: двадцать миль вниз по реке в ненадежной лодке, с завязанными глазами, полагаясь лишь на острый слух ее малышей. Четырехлетних…

Двенадцать лет прошло после страшной ночи бегства Мэлори с детьми из кишащей тварями местности. Двенадцать долгих, полных напряженного ожидания лет – не скрипнет ли ветка, не раздастся ли за спиной звук тяжелого дыхания.

Между тем постапокалиптический мир продолжает cопротивляться вторжению. В небольших поселениях люди пытаются построить новое общество, – общество, готовое быстро отреагировать на любую угрозу. Но печальный опыт Мэлори говорит о том, что безопасность и стабильность – очень хрупкие стены, которые в любой момент могут рассыпаться в прах.

Тревога за детей ни днем ни ночью не отпускает Мэлори – как ей справиться с подростками, жаждущими выбраться наружу из душных комнат? И как объяснить строптивым юнцам, что каждый прожитый день лишь повышает шансы столкнуться со злом…

Читайте долгожданное продолжение бестселлера "Птичий короб"!

Люди, живущие в небольших городках и поселках вдоль Большой Дороги, знают множество историй, и в каждой из них непременно появляется тот самый безупречный герой, бретер и джентльмен, которому не страшен сам дьявол.

И в этот раз одному из таких героев, Джеймсу Мокси, придется вступить в бой сразу с тремя опасными противниками и спасти от смерти свою возлюбленную:
- с тем, кто приходит внезапно и оставляет по себе только трупы и пепел;
- с тем, что истекает быстрее воды и не оставляет ни выбора, ни надежды;
- с тем, кто не жив и не мертв, а потому не подвластен ни ножу, ни пуле.

Both seventeen. Both afraid. But both saying yes.

It sounded like the perfect first date: canoeing across a chain of lakes, sandwiches and beer in the cooler. But teenagers Amelia and James discover something below the water's surface that changes their lives forever.

It's got a garden.

And the front door is open.

It's a house at the bottom of a lake.

Just because a house is empty, doesn't mean nobody's home.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie, a novella collection in which every story reveals a sinister secret about a mysterious small town

Goblin seems like any other ordinary small town. But with the master storyteller Josh Malerman as your tour guide, you'll discover the secrets that hide behind its closed doors. These six novellas tell the story of a place where the rain is always falling, nighttime is always near, and your darkest fears and desires await. Welcome to Goblin. . . .

A Man in Slices: A man proves his "legendary love" to his girlfriend with a sacrifice even more daring than Vincent van Gogh's--and sends her more than his heart.

Kamp: Walter Kamp is afraid of everything, but most afraid of being scared to death. As he sets traps around his home to catch the ghosts that haunt him, he learns that nothing is more terrifying than fear itself.

Happy Birthday, Hunter!: A famed big-game hunter is determined to capture--and kill--the ultimate prey: the mythic Great Owl who lives in Goblin's dark forests. But this mysterious creature is not the only secret the woods are keeping.

Presto: All Peter wants is to be like his hero, Roman Emperor, the greatest magician in the world. When the famous magician comes to Goblin, Peter discovers that not all magic is just an illusion.

A Mix-Up at the Zoo: The new zookeeper feels a mysterious kinship with the animals in his care . . . and finds that his work is freeing dark forces inside him.

The Hedges: When his wife dies, a man builds a hedge maze so elaborate no one ever solves it--until a little girl resolves to be the first to find the mysteries that wait at its heart.

J is a student at a school deep in a forest far away from the rest of the world.

J is one of only twenty-six students, all of whom think of the school’s enigmatic founder as their father. J’s peers are the only family he has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know—and all they are allowed to know.

But J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he’s beginning to ask questions. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J’s, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other.

It’s the last summer for Kit Lamb: The last summer before college. The last summer with her high school basketball team, and with Dana, her best friend. The last summer before her life begins.

But the night before the big game, one of the players tells a ghost story about Daphne, a girl who went to their school many years ago and died under mysterious circumstances. Some say she was murdered, others that she died by her own hand. And some say that Daphne is a murderer herself. They also say that Daphne is still out there, obsessed with revenge, and will appear to kill again anytime someone thinks about her.

After Kit hears the story, her teammates vanish, one by one, and Kit begins to suspect that the stories about Daphne are real . . . and to fear that her own mind is conjuring the killer. Now it’s a race against time as Kit searches for the truth behind the legend and learns to face her own fears—before the summer of her life becomes the last summer of her life.

Mixing a nostalgic coming-of-age story and an instantly iconic female villain with an innovative new vision of classic horror, Daphne is an unforgettable thriller as only Josh Malerman could imagine it.
