    Others: Positive

    London was in the grip of its bloodiest bout of gang warfare for two years. Shootings in the street. Car chases and torture. Into this world of corruption, violence, madness and death came the Assassin. A force more powerful than vengeance, more lethal than a lorry full of high-velocity weapons and more terryfying than any nightmare..... Shock horror at its best.

    Verano de 1973. Carolina del Norte. El joven universitario Devin Jones consigue trabajo en un pequeño parque de atracciones llamado Joyland. Allí se encarga de las tareas de mantenimiento, se disfraza de la mascota del parque o entretiene a los niños. Y allí descubre también la historia de un cruento crimen que tuvo lugar en la Casa Embrujada y que nunca fue resuelto. Pero Devin no es el único fascinado por el parque y su leyenda negra. Cerca de su pensión vive Mike, un chico enfermizo con el que pronto traba una peculiar amistad. El chaval no ha visitado nunca Joyland y le encantaría hacerlo antes de morir. Es entonces cuando Devin planea una visita privada para el final de temporada. El día transcurre entre montañas rusas e historias de terror sobre lo que pudo haberle pasado a la joven asesinada. Sin embargo, las visitas indeseadas y las preguntas indiscretas pueden provocar reacciones imprevisibles. Sin saberlo, Devin se ha metido en un peligroso juego del que tal vez no saldrá nunca.

    A queer paranormal psychological horror novel, in the style of showrunner Mike Flannagan, showing the complex real-life terror inherent in grief and mental illness After the tragic death of their father and surviving a life-threatening eating disorder, 18-year-old Ellis moves with their mother to the small town of Black Stone, seeking a simpler life and some space to recover. But Black Stone feels off; it’s a disquieting place, one that’s surrounded by towns with some of the highest death rates in the country. It doesn’t help that everyone says Ellis’s new house is haunted. And Ellis has started to believe what people are saying: they see pulsing veins in the walls of their bedroom and specters in dark corners of the cellar. They soon discover Black Stone, and their house in particular, is the battleground in a decades-long spectral war, one that will claim their family ― and the town ― if it’s allowed to continue. Withered is queer psychological horror, a compelling tale that tackles important issues of mental health in the way that only horror by delving deep into them, cracking them open, and exposing their gruesome entrails.
