      • Cataplum Libros

        Good books are like meek animals that stretch when we caress their backs, and that show us their bellies so we go and play with them; but they also do not hesitate to give us a good bite to free us from the claws of routine. To create these noble creatures, in Cataplum we dig like moles through the collective memory and explore the roots that connect us as Latin-Americans; thus, we recover our oral tradition, our playful language and its diverse and endless possibilities. As truffle-seeking pigs, we have developed an acute nose to find texts of authors from past and actual times. As rabbits we jump here and there tracking down illustrators with new proposals. And as eagles we strive to see, from a distance, how image and texts can coexist in harmony. In sum, our catalogue has been conceived as a living creature; one that begun as something very little, like bear cubs, but capable of becoming a fabulous living being; one that combines the best qualities of noble animals and have the power to captivate us.

        by CJ Lyons

        Join New York Times bestseller and real life ER physician CJ Lyons as she returns to her medical thriller roots with a heart wrenching tale of good and evil, despair and hope, and the unexpected gift of grace that comes with embracing our mortality. Fatal. Insomnia. “FAREWELL TO DREAMS has it all: a heroine you'll never forget and a story that whips by at bullet speed." ~Tess Gerritsen, NYT bestselling author of DIE AGAIN “CJ Lyons scores a major triumph with FAREWELL TO DREAMS. Totally absorbing and impossible to put down.” ~Douglas Preston, #1 NYT bestselling author In the chaos of the ER, functioning without sleep is a prized skill. But even Dr. Angela Rossi will admit that five months is far too long, especially when accompanied by other worrisome symptoms: night sweats, tremors, muscle spasms, fevers. Then a dead nun speaks to her while Angela is holding the nun’s heart in her hand. “Find the girl,” the nun commands—although no one else in the trauma room can hear, the words drilling directly into Angela’s brain. “Save the girl.” Falling into catatonic states where she freezes in the middle of a resuscitation and hears dead nuns talking to her? Not good. Maybe she should check herself into her own hospital…except a lost girl’s life depends on Angela. Because the girl IS real. The threat to her is deadly. Aided by a police detective fallen from grace, Angela searches the midnight catacombs beneath the city, facing down a ruthless gangleader and stumbling onto a serial killer’s lair. Her desperate quest to save the girl leads her to the one thing she least expected to find: a last chance for love. As her symptoms escalate in bizarre and disturbing ways, Angie realizes exactly how serious her illness is. She might be dying, but she’s finally choosing how to live… FAREWELL TO DREAMS reveals critically acclaimed, award winning New York Times bestselling author CJ Lyons at her best. Join the millions of readers who have already fallen in love with CJ’s “Thrillers with Heart” and grab your copy of FAREWELL TO DREAMS today!

        Reader Meet Author

        by N. S. Calcutt

        We have a precious, finite life on this planet and I've spent a healthy percentage of it masturbating and watching Coronation Street. Reader Meet Author is a semi-autobiographical novel set in Manchester in the 1970s and 1980s. Through sincere, adept observations and humorous recollections, the young protagonist tries to come to terms with dysfunctional family life and two life shattering blows: the death of his mother and the infidelity of his girlfriend. Beyond what appears to be a light-hearted rant at society, is a tale of depth and fragility. With humour, insight and pathos, the author conveys the story of an adolescent searching for stability and belonging.

        Chesstomb

        by John Ethan Py

        A marketing strategy like "Blair Witch" with false documents and website   1922, Howard Phillips Lovecraft writes one of his most uncanny short stories: Herbert West, Reanimator. 2001, the murder of a family throws the city of Chesstomb deep into mourning. Recognised reporter Shelby Williams comes to investigate. Collecting a large amount of data, he slowly travels back through time. Until this darkly famous year of 1922, when a quarrel between doctors found its tragic end. Strangest of all, everything suggests that Lovecraft’s character, Hebert West, is inspired by these grim events.  John Ethan Py succeeded to edit these nearly forgotten documents, thus creating a vertiginous masterpiece where reality and fiction mix up with force...
