California Gothic explores the California dream and its dark inversion as a nightmare, as illustrated in fiction, poetry, and film. California began as a literary invention, a magic island, in a Spanish romance before conquistadors first visited the land. From early days to the present, the California dream of happiness in a land of new beginnings has been maintained by suppression of disturbing realities: above all, the destruction of native peoples; and by events and facts such as the tragedy of the Donner Party, the persistence of poverty and crime in the golden land, disturbing crimes such as the Black Dahlia; and pandemics and ecological disaster. This book explores a rich Gothic tradition that exposes the repressed past and imagines the fates awaiting a failed California.

" Je vis dans un FILM D'HORREUR. Sauf que cette horreur n'a rien à voir avec la nécrophilie, les messes noires ou les croix fichées à l'envers. Ni avec des vampires aquaphobes ou des zombies employés dans des champs de canne à sucre qui se jettent aveuglément du haut d'une falaise dès qu'un type avec un accent de concasseur le leur ordonne. Non, il s'agit de la VIE REELLE ! " Une lettre signée d'une militante extrémiste qui a jadis péri par le feu, un crime accompagné de signes mystérieux, l'incendie d'un cimetière de voitures... et voici Dan et Evie Markham plongés dans une aventure où le réel et l'impossible, comme dans les films d'épouvante tant prisés de leur jeune fils Eddie, s'ingénient à faire monter leur ANGOISSE, à transformer une journée californienne apparemment comme les autres en une SPIRALE CAUCHEMARDESQUE.

What you don't know can't hurt you...until you find out about it. And what Aurora doesn't know could change everything. A native to Venice Beach, she's used to the unusual, but when she starts getting letters from her deceased mother, even she thinks it's strange. Odder still is the arrival of her brother who ran away from home at sixteen and has made it a point to stay away, keeping his secrets with him. His insistence on selling their childhood home, an unkempt bungalow, is unwavering. But as the honesty of the letters makes her question the past, she clings even tighter to the place that holds her dark and dusty memories. Inspired by the death of legendary musician Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, the story spans from the 1960's to the present and tells the story of three love affairs, one family, and countless ghosts.

A contemporary noir, Already Dead is the tangled story of Nelson Fairchild Jr., disenfranchised scion to a northern California land fortune. A relentless failure, Nelson has botched nearly every scheme he's attempted to pull off. Now his future lies in a potentially profitable marijuana patch hidden in the lush old-growth redwoods on the family land. Nelson has some serious problems. His marriage has fallen apart, and he may lose his land, cash and crop in the divorce. What's more, in need of some quick cash, he had foolishly agreed to smuggle $90,000 worth of cocaine through customs for Harry Lally, a major player in a drug syndicate. Chickening out just before bringing the drugs through, he flushed the powder. Now Lally wants him dead, and two goons are hot on his trail. Desperate, terrified and alone, for Nelson, there may be only one way out. This is Denis Johnson's biggest and most complex book to date, and it perfectly showcases his signature themes of fate, redemption and the unraveling of the fabric of today's society. Already Dead, with its masterful narrative of overlapping and entwined stories, will further fuel the acclaim that surrounds one of today's most fascinating writers.

Sheila Bernstein, a single mother evading an abusive ex-spouse, wants to recreate early memories of her family, before the death of her parents, so her son can know a normal life. She got married young to her college professor, who turned out to be controlling and abusive. She has divorced him and at the opening of the story is supporting herself and her four-year-old son as a wine buyer. Sheila is touring a Napa Valley winery for work, with her son in tow, her babysitting having fallen through at the last minute. She experiences a mutual and immediate attraction with the winery's owner and tour guide, Alan Marchand. Alan is disabled, having lost an arm ten years before. Then Sheila's ex-husband, Richard, shows up. Alan and his family fend him off. Sheila quickly gets drawn into life at the winery, eventually moving in and working there, falling in love with Alan, his family, and home, seeing there a stability and closeness she has never had. But not all is as it seems. Underneath the carefree spirits of the winery, something sinister lurks. There are rumors the winery is cursed. None of the family will talk about the crime in which Alan was injured and his girlfriend kidnapped and presumed killed. Alan, a talented artist before, no longer paints. Alan's sister and cousin, too, also seem caught in the web of the winery's spell, unable to move forward with their lives. Sheila experiences a number of strange events while alone at the winery and becomes convinced that it is indeed haunted. To go forward with their lives, Alan's and Sheila's painful pasts must be uncovered. In order to do this, Sheila is forced to look at Alan and his family critically and stand on her own feet. When she does, she decides to leave. She returns to her hometown of Sacramento and proves to herself that she is able to manage on her own and support her child. She, however, does return to Napa upon learning that she is pregnant with Alan's child. Back in Napa, Alan has resolved him primary conflict in recognizing that he is still attractive to women and that Sheila was not just using him. He and Sheila reconcile on her return. In the meantime, Alan's extended family, his cousins have sensed that something amiss, the spell breaking and the winery slipping from their control. They set fire to it on the day that Sheila returns. Alan and his immediate family manage to escape unharmed; however, the winery burns to the ground, taking with it generations of unhappiness-the place that had earlier seemed like a joyful haven to Sheila. Sheila and Alan make their new home in Sacramento, where Sheila realizes that she will always be, to an extent, under the Marchand "spell," but now it is something positive, bringing her the security she has craved.

Vampire democracy sucks. Literally. When it's one vamp, one vote, the worst monsters can swing elections by turning random people off the streets into new vampires. Dylan is one of those random people. The power players in the city want his vote, but he just wants to be left the hell alone. Most of all, he wants to stop murdering people. That's easier than it sounds when some people are seriously asking for it.Dylan's life as a vampire is gross, terrifying, disgusting, frustrating, sexy, painful, and that's all just in the first night out.
