Description: It: Chapter Two—now a major motion picture!

Stephen King’s terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, “a landmark in American literature” (Chicago Sun-Times)—about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled on as teenagers…an evil without a name: It.
Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers.

Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It.

“Stephen King’s most mature work” (St. Petersburg Times), “It will overwhelm you…to be read in a well-lit room only” (Los Angeles Times).

Product: Less Than Zero (Vintage Contemporaries)
Description: Set in Los Angeles in the early 1980's, Less than Zero has become a timeless classic. This coolly mesmerizing novel is a raw, powerful portrait of a lost generation who have experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. They live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope.
Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin. Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.

Product: Psycho: A Novel
Description: The story was all too real-indeed this classic was inspired by the real-life story of Ed Gein, a psychotic murderer who led a dual life. Alfred Hitchcock too was captivated, and turned the book into one of the most-loved classic films of all time the year after it was released. Norman Bates loves his Mother. She has been dead for the past twenty years, or so people think. Norman knows better though. He has lived with Mother ever since leaving the hospital in the old house up on the hill above the Bates motel. One night Norman spies on a beautiful woman that checks into the hotel as she undresses. Norman can't help but spy on her. Mother is there though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife.

Product: American Psycho (Spanish Edition)
Description: La novela más infame de Bret Easton Ellis: un clásico contemporáneo que se ha convertido en símbolo de una generación.

«La vida era como un lienzo en blanco, un cliché, un culebrón. Me sentía letal, al borde de la histeria. Mis ansias nocturnas de sangre inundaban también mis días y tuve que dejar la ciudad. Mi máscara de cordura amenazaba con desaparecer. Para mí era la estación más dura y necesitaba vacaciones.»

El sofisticado, inteligente y vanidoso Patrick Bateman trabaja en Wall Street, idolatra al joven magnate Donald Trump, cena en los restaurantes de moda de Nueva York y es capaz de distinguir un traje Armani a cincuenta metros de distancia. También le gusta violar, torturar, asesinar y desmembrar.

American Psycho, la novela más polémica de Bret Easton Ellis, se ha convertido en el reflejo más descarnado de la sociedad hipermaterialista de finales de los 80 y en una de las obras maestras de finales del siglo XX. Bret Easton Ellis lanza una crítica corrosiva hacia el egoísmo y la depravación del capitalismo exacerbado: un retrato desolador, irónico y rabiosamente vigente de un mundo al borde del colapso en el que todavía vivimos.

Críticas:
«American Psycho sigue siendo la exégesis literaria más indispensable y salvaje sobre la sociedad que hemos construido.»
Irvine Welsh

«American Psycho era y es y será una obra maestra de la literatura estadounidense del siglo XX [...] símbolo y metáfora y síntoma y paradigma [...] Con prosa y dicción que se las arregla para fundir lo mejor Ernest Hemingway y Joan Didion y HAL 9000.»
Rodrigo Fresán

«Un libro fundamental.»
Fay Weldon, The Washington Post

«Esto es seguro: esta novela se adelantó a su tiempo.»
Dwight Garner, The New York Times

«Seria, inteligente y rompedoramente efectiva [...] Es un retrato tremendamente coherente de una sociedad mortalmente adicta al aburrimiento, debería ser juzgada dentro de los más altos estándares.»
Sunday Times

«American Psycho es hilarante. Además de una pesadilla repulsiva, Patrick Bateman es una creación cómica de primer orden.»
Sam Jordison, The Guardian

«Hoy en día, American Psycho es una obra canónica de sátira social [...] la única y más condenatoria crítica de las consecuencias culturales del capitalismo contemporáneo»
John Pa Rollert, Chicago Booth Review

«Que los contenidos del libro son escandalosos es completamente indiscutible, pero de la misma manera que La hoguera de las vanidades expuso la corrupción y la avaricia resultantes de las políticas de los años ochenta y sus altos niveles de vida, American Psycho examina las preocupaciones irracionales de los pijos de los noventa.»
Time Out

«Un libro que abrasó a críticos, censores y lectores en general y que finalmente se convirtió en uno de los grandes clásicos de culto de la era moderna [...
