Bücher von Sam Knight

Der Überraschungsbestseller über die Wissenschaft des Paranormalen   Im März des Jahres 1967 sagt der Telefonist Alan Hencher einen Flugzeugabsturz im Mittelmeerraum mit 123 oder 124 Toten voraus. Genau 30 Tage später wird eine Bristol Britannia am Flughafen Nikosia, Zypern, in den Boden geflogen. 124 Menschen sterben sofort. Diese wahrgewordene Prophezeiung ist der erste von vielen »Erfolgen« des »Büros für Vorahnungen«, das in den 1960er Jahren unter der Leitung des Psychiaters John Barker Vorahnungen, Prophezeiungen, Träume und Visionen zahlreicher Menschen sammelt, um sie wissenschaftlich nutzbar zu machen. Denn Alan Hencher ist nicht der einzige beunruhigend Begabte unter den Informanten des Büros ... Sam Knights Buch bewegt sich zwischen Schicksal und Zufall, lotet die Grenzen der Wissenschaft und unseres Verstandes aus - und konfrontiert uns mit unserer ureigenen Angst vor dem Paranormalen.  »Ein fulminantes, beunruhigendes Buch, großartig geschrieben und tiefgründig.« Patrick Radden Keefe   »Wunderschön geschrieben, menschlich und allumfassend.« Hilary Mantel   »Ich habe dieses faszinierende Buch geliebt.« Emma Cline

Aliens, Madmen, Swindlers, Ghosts, Gods, and Monsters live in the Wild West. May God have mercy on those poor souls unlucky enough to run into them. This is a collection of 10 Weird Western short stories by Sam Knight.

In the throes of a convention full of geeks, Frog Jones told a story.That story is found in this book's foreword, but the key line from the story became the title of this anthology. The authors seized upon that line, much like an out-of-control bovine seizing its own halter, and stampeded into the volume you see before you.This is not just a comedy anthology. Nor is it horror, or romance, or literary, or…well, any one thing. Rather, it is all those things. Each story starts exactly in the same place. But each author immediately leaps from there into their own world. This anthology celebrates the creativity of these authors, because it does not shackle them to a theme. The starting line is the same-the finish line is on other planets, in other times, and in alternate realities. You're not going to feel cohesiveness reading this thing. It's not going to be several stories hitting the same note. But you are going to experience a wider panoply of stories than you would in other anthologies. And as to what you make of them, or what stories they may inspire in you? Well…that's your cow.
