      Eine knallharte Horrorgeschichte, die Charles Stross als das »möglicherweise vielversprechendste Horror-Debüt des Jahres« bezeichnet. Das Buch war Finalist für den British Fantasy Award und den Locus Award. John Persons ist ein Privatdetektiv mit einem unangenehmen Auftrag von einem ungewöhnlichen Kunden: Ein zehnjähriger Junge hat ihn angeheuert, um seinen Stiefvater McKinsey zu töten – einen missbräuchlichen, gewalttätigen und abscheulichen Mann. Während seiner Ermittlungen entdeckt Persons, dass McKinsey von einer fremden Präsenz befallen ist, die sich unaufhaltsam ausbreitet. Persons jedoch ist der ideale Jäger, denn er ist bestens mit dem Okkulten vertraut und hat im Laufe seiner eigenen, uralten Existenz bereits Götter und Dämonen gejagt und sie zwischen seinen Zähnen zermalmt. Die Frage ist, ob er den Stiefvater ausschalten kann, ohne die Kontrolle über seine eigene, schreckliche Macht zu verlieren.

In Cassandra Khaw's FINE PRINT, an arrogant tech bro learns the importance of reading the fine print in the contract for immortality... And in Caitlin Starling's THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY, ideals and ethics bump heads with appetite on a blood farm.
