Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta colección de tres volúmenes, se recogen historias del folklore popular norteamericano. Una serie de narraciones que han tenido un gran éxito durante años en todo el mundo, ilustradas por el reputado artista Brett Helquist. Guillermo del Toro anunció que se encuentra trabajando en una adaptación a la pantalla grande. "Los primeros colonos norteamericanos solían entretenerse contando historias de miedo. Se reunían al anochecer en alguna cabaña, o alrededor de un fuego, y competían para demostrar quién era capaz de asustar más. Algunas chicas y chicos hacen lo mismo hoy día. Se reúnen en la casa de alguien, apagan las luces, comen palomitas de maíz, y se pegan unos sustos de muerte. Contar historias de miedo es algo que la gente ha hecho durante miles de años, y a la mayoría de nosotros nos gusta que nos asusten de esa manera. Algunas de estas leyendas son muy antiguas, y se cuentan en diversas partes del mundo. Y la mayoría de ellas tienen el mismo origen. Se basan en hechos que las personas vieron o escucharon o experimentaron, o que al menos piensan que así fue." Alvin Schwartz

Todo nos guía al 13 de junio de 1956, fecha en la que se enfrentan Real Madrid y Stade de Reims, en París, para disputar la primera final de la Copa de Campeones de Europa; torneo creado por Gabriel y apoyado por Santiago Bernabéu, quien, tras llegar al club como un niño, se convierte mucho tiempo después en el más grande dirigente deportivo de la historia. 1956 habla dela vida de aquellos que ahora están en el olvido, pero gracias a los que hoy podemos gritar «¡gol!».

Book excerpt: A riveting true story of a mother who fought back against the drug cartels in Mexico, pursuing her own brand of justice to avenge the kidnapping and murder of her daughter—from a global investigative correspondent for The New York Times “Azam Ahmed has written a page-turning mystery but also a stunning, color-saturated portrait of the collapse of formal justice in one Mexican town.”—Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Directorate S A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: New Yorker, The Economist, Chicago Public Library Fear Is Just a Word begins on an international bridge between Mexico and the United States, as fifty-six-year-old Miriam Rodríguez stalks one of the men she believes was involved in the murder of her daughter Karen. He is her target number eleven, a member of the drug cartel that has terrorized and controlled what was once Miriam’s quiet hometown of San Fernando, Mexico, almost one hundred miles from the U.S. border. Having dyed her hair red as a disguise, Miriam watches, waits, and then orchestrates the arrest of this man, exacting her own version of justice. Woven into this deeply researched, moving account is the story of how cartels built their power in Mexico, escalated the use of violence, and kidnapped and murdered tens of thousands. Karen was just one of the many people who disappeared, and Miriam, a brilliant, strategic, and fearless woman, begged for help from the authorities and paid ransom money she could not afford in hopes of saving her daughter. When that failed, she decided that “fear is just a word,” and began a crusade to track down Karen’s killers and to help other victimized families in their search for justice. What do people do when their country and the peaceful town where they have grown up become unrecognizable, suddenly places of violence and fear? Azam Ahmed takes us into the grieving of a country and a family to tell the mesmerizing story of a brave and brilliant woman determined to find out what happened to her daughter, and to see that the criminals who murdered her were punished. Fear Is Just a Word is an unforgettable and moving portrait of a woman, a town, and a country, and of what can happen when violent forces leave people to seek justice on their own.
