Птичий короб
Джош Малерман 3.7
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 детей, которые росли и учились различать звуки в темноте маленьких душных комнат.
Одно неверное движение — и они обречены. Кто-то ходит рядом, кто-то постоянно следит за ними — обычное животное или монстр?

Broken Monsters
Lauren Beukes 2.8

Второе место.

"Scary as hell and hypnotic. I couldn't put it down...I'd grab it if I were you." --Stephen King

A criminal mastermind creates violent tableaus in abandoned Detroit warehouses in Lauren Beukes's new genre-bending novel of suspense.

Detective Gabriella Versado has seen a lot of bodies. But this one is unique even by Detroit's standards: half boy, half deer, somehow fused together. As stranger and more disturbing bodies are discovered, how can the city hold on to a reality that is already tearing at its seams?

If you're Detective Versado's geeky teenage daughter, Layla, you commence a dangerous flirtation with a potential predator online. If you're desperate freelance journalist Jonno, you do whatever it takes to get the exclusive on a horrific story. If you're Thomas Keen, known on the street as TK, you'll do what you can to keep your homeless family safe--and find the monster who is possessed by the dream of violently remaking the world.

If Lauren Beukes's internationally bestselling The Shining Girls was a time-jumping thrill ride through the past, her Broken Monsters is a genre-redefining thriller about broken cities, broken dreams, and broken people trying to put themselves back together again.

The End in All Beginnings
Джон Ф. Д. Тафф 0.0

Второе место.

THE END IN ALL BEGINNINGS is a collection of horror that's a literary tour de force through the emotional pain and personal anguish of the human condition. Praised as one of the best collections of heartfelt and gut-wrenching horror written in recent history, it's a disturbing trip through the ages exploring the painful tragedies of life, love and loss.

Each of the five masterfully written novellas included in THE END IN ALL BEGINNINGS examine complex themes running the gamut from the loss of childhood innocence, to the dreadful reality of survival after everything we hold dear is gone, to some of the most profound aspects of human tragedy.

As one of the best storytellers of the modern age, John F.D. Taff takes readers on a skillfully balanced emotional journey into nostalgia, through personal pain and beyond the everyday terrors that are uncomfortably real over the course of the human lifetime. His straight-forward, nuanced writing style is at times darkly comedic, often deeply poetic and always accurate in the most terrifying of ways.

Evoking the literary styles of horror legends Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker, in THE END IN ALL BEGINNINGS also pays homage to modern genre masters Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, Ray Bradbury, Rod Serling and Clive Barker, solidifying author John F.D. Taff as modern horror's new King of Pain.
