An aging New Yorker, a writer named Nick, feels life ebbing out of him. The world has gone to hell and Nick is so sick of it all that he can't even have a glass of champagne. Then one night he meets a tantalizing young woman who agrees to come back to his apartment. Their encounter is the most strangely extraordinary of his life. Propelled by uncontrollable, primordial desires, he enters a new and unimagined dimension of the forbidden and is filled with a sexual and spiritual ecstasy that is as intense as it is unholy. Suddenly Nick's senses are alive. He feels strong, unconquerable, beyond all inhibition and earthly morality. He indulges in life's pleasures, pure and perverse, sublime and dangerous, from the delicate flavors of the perfect tomato to the fleshy beauty of a woman's thigh. But Nick's desire to sustain his rapture leads him to a madness and a darkness far greater and dreadful than have ever ridden the demon mares of night. Writing in a lineage that includes Dante, William S. Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Hubert Selby, Jr., and Hunter S. Thompson, Nick Tosches may be America's last real literary outlaw -- a fearless, uncensorable seeker of our deepest secret truths and desires, from the basest to the most beautiful. Me and the Devil is outrageous, disturbing, and brilliant, a raw and blazing novel truly unlike any other. Like the man said: Read him at your peril. "A raw and blazing novel by "the single, most brain-searingly dangerous man of letters. Read him at your peril." -- Anthony Bourdain

Narrativa - romanzo (334 pagine) - Se non fosse l’uomo a proporre al Diavolo la sua anima in cambio di fama, successo e denaro, ma fosse Satana a invaghirsi dell’anima di un mortale, cosa accadrebbe? Me and the Devil trae spunto dalla leggenda che aleggia attorno alla figura di uno dei padri del blues, Robert Johnson, divenuto improvvisamente celebre nella prima metà degli anni Trenta. Il grande chitarrista amava raccontare ai suoi colleghi musicisti di aver ottenuto il dono di suonare così mirabilmente la sua fedele sei corde, grazie a un patto stretto con il Maligno. Il romanzo si ispira a questa macabra storia, per porre un interrogativo diverso: se non fosse l’uomo a proporre al Diavolo la sua anima in cambio di fama, successo e denaro, ma fosse Satana a invaghirsi dell’anima di un mortale, cosa accadrebbe? La trama si svolge fra il Mississippi della fine degli anni ‘30 e le assolate spiagge della California della metà degli anni ‘80. I protagonisti sono quattro musicisti rock di Van Nuys, sobborgo industriale di Los Angeles, alle prese con la difficile e tortuosa ricerca del successo, con il fantasma di Robert Johnson e con Satana in carne e corna. Il carismatico leader della band, un italo americano dalle belle speranze infrante, coinvolgerà, suo malgrado, i suoi compagni di avventure, sbornie e divertimento, in una giostra infernale dove lecito e illecito, bene e male, sesso e amore, si confonderanno in un turbinio di soldi, successo, fama e vizio. La vita dei quattro cavalieri del rock, divenuti improvvisamente idoli dello show business, sarà distrutta e ricostruita dall’oscuro signore che manovra le menti, i pensieri e i cuori dei membri della band... Maria Elena Cristiano nasce a Roma, dove ancora risiede. Laureata in Medicina, è direttrice di un'agenzia di servizi letterari, il Babylon Café. Ha all'attivo due romanzi: L'isola delle bambole (Europa Edizioni, febbraio 2016) e Immortali (Kimerik, gennaio 2012).

In Me and the Devil Blues, Walter Ellis brings us a ghost story, a passionate romance, and a unique look into our musical and historical past. This fast-paced novel, in the tradition of Larry McMurtry and Toni Morrison, combines comedy and pathos with just a touch of the supernatural. Robert Foster is down on his luck. He wants to be a Blues musician, and he wants the beautiful Beatrice White, the prettiest girl in Memphis. Both seem beyond his grasp. Robert is disowned by his supposed father and driven into the Depression-era Mississippi Delta. There he meets the talented, funny, and alcoholic Charlie Patton and the mysterious and evil Matthew Foster. Robert sells his soul to the Devil for Beatrice and for fame but finds neither to be what he expected. There is a surprising twist in the last chapter that will shock the reader into an entirely new dimension. Me and the Devil Blues is a blend of fact and fiction and features several real people as characters including Louis Armstrong, Chester Burnet, "The Howling Wolf," and the cranky and irascible Rice Miller, also known as Sonny Boy Williamson. What does it mean to sell your soul? In an episode, near the center of the novel, Robert dreams that he makes a deal with his real father, the evil Matthew Foster, for the woman that he loves and for the fame that he craves. Robert then achieves fame, makes some popular records, and returns home to Memphis a hero. Beatrice White, who is living with Todd Young, a bootlegger and dope pusher, drops Todd and comes to live with Robert. Only gradually does Robert come to undestand Beatrice's secret, a secret that will drive her to the brink of suicide and him to the brink of madness.

In this unique and highly entertaining autobiography, Alf Taylor chronicles his life growing up in the infamous New Norcia Mission, north of Perth in the fifties and sixties. At once darkly humorous and achingly tragic, God, The Devil and Me tells of the life and desperation of the young children forced into the care of the Spanish Nuns and Brothers who ran the Mission. Their lives made up of varying degrees of cruelty and punishments, these children were the 'little black devils' that God and religion forgot. Written with an acerbic and brutal wit, Alf intersperses dark childhood memories with a Monty Pythonesque retelling of the Bible, in which Peter is an alcoholic and Judas is a good guy.As a child, underfed, poorly clothed and missing his family, Alf sought refuge in the library in the company of Shakespeare and Michelangelo. He writes with joy about the camaraderie of the boys, their love of sport and their own company, but also notes that many descended into despair upon leaving. Most died early. Alf Taylor is one of the 'lucky ones'.'At once horrific and hilarious, this ''little black devil'' has created a work unique not just in Aboriginal writing, but in Australian literature altogether.' - Dennis Haskell, Australian poet, critic and academic
