本周末书单推荐:凯瑟琳·邓恩遗作《近乎血肉》与经典恐怖系列《极夜三十天》重磅回归

近日有两部值得关注的文学作品面世:已故作家凯瑟琳·邓恩的短篇小说集《近乎血肉》,以及经典恐怖漫画系列新篇《极夜三十天:落日》。这两部风格迥异的作品将为读者带来独特的阅读体验。

《近乎血肉》作为《痴癫之爱》作者凯瑟琳·邓恩的遗作,延续了她诡谲尖锐又充满诗意的创作风格。该小说集收录的19个短篇故事构建了多个光怪陆离的世界:从执着于将逝者与截肢部位合葬的怪异社会,到渴望外星救赎的青少年,再到与性爱机器人为伴的独居女性。作品以暗黑笔触穿插黑色幽默,通过对女性日常与极端处境的描摹,完成对人性深处的深刻叩问。

与此同时,经典吸血鬼系列《极夜三十天》时隔多年推出续作《落日》。新篇由罗德尼·巴恩斯与系列创始人史蒂夫·奈尔斯联手执笔,克里斯·谢汉负责艺术创作。故事设定在吸血鬼袭击事件二十年后,少年杰伦为逃离洛杉矶生活来到北极小镇巴罗,却不知吸血鬼正为复仇悄然苏醒。首期漫画在重建恐怖氛围的同时,通过新老角色的交织,为后续剧情埋下伏笔。

两部作品均以独特的叙事视角探索人性边界,为不同偏好的读者提供了丰富的阅读选择。

本周末荐读:《血肉近身》与《三十极夜》系列归来
吸血鬼正重返巴罗镇。

以下新近出版作品值得列入您的书单:本周我们品读了已故作家凯瑟琳·邓恩的短篇集《血肉近身》,以及重启的热门恐怖系列新作《三十极夜:落日》。

这部遗作短篇集延续了《痴人之爱》作者邓恩特有的诡谲、粗粝、凄美与惊悚,老读者自会心领神会,新读者亦可借此洞见其独特文风与视角。十九个故事光怪陆离:从执意让逝者与截肢残骸合葬的偏执社会,到渴望外星访客救赎的迷茫少年,再到被情趣机器人环绕的孤寂女子。《血肉近身》以暗黑笔触交织黑色幽默,剖视人类生存困境,聚焦女性游走于庸常与极端之间的日常挣扎,字字锥心。

身为《三十极夜》系列忠实拥趸,本周惊喜发现该系列正以《落日》重启,首刊即令人大呼过瘾。新作由《基拉德尔菲亚》作者罗德尼·巴恩斯与系列原创史蒂夫·奈尔斯联手打造,插画则由《屠宰之屋》画师克里斯·谢汉执笔。故事设定于吸血鬼席卷巴罗镇的二十年后,少年杰伦·詹姆斯在极夜降临前抵达这座阿拉斯加边陲小镇投奔叔父,试图逃离洛杉矶的过往。然而镇民不知,吸血鬼正为复仇悄然苏醒,再度将目光锁定巴罗镇。

首刊着重铺陈世界观,既重现吸血鬼的恐怖阴影,又勾勒出小镇当下的人物群像(其中不乏仍被往日血腥纠缠的旧人)。对这个系列的全新篇章,我抱有极高期待。

What to read this weekend: Near Flesh and the return of 30 Days of Night
Vampires are heading back to Barrow.
Here are some recently released titles to add to your reading list. This week, we read Near Flesh, a collection of short stories by the late Katherine Dunn, and 30 Days of Night: Falling Sun, the revival of the hit horror series.
This posthumous collection of short fiction is as strange and gritty and beautiful and horrifying as fans of Geek Love author Katherine Dunn would expect, and a great introduction to her voice and perspective for readers new to her work. Its 19 stories give us everything from a society obsessed with reuniting people with their amputated body parts when they're buried, to a teenager who yearns for salvation brought by alien visitors and a woman who surrounds herself with sex robots. Near Flesh is a dark and sometimes humorous exploration of the human condition, focusing mostly on women getting through their day-to-day lives, faced with both the mundane and the extreme. It hits pretty hard.
I love the 30 Days of Night franchise, so I was super excited to discover this week that it's picking back up with Falling Sun, and this first issue did not disappoint. 30 Days of Night: Falling Sun is written by Rodney Barnes (Killadelphia), who worked with the series' original writer Steve Niles to bring the new story to life, and features art by Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter). In 30 Days of Night: Falling Sun, 20 years have passed since vampires descended upon Barrow. Teenager Jalen James arrives in the remote Alaskan town just ahead of the long polar night to stay with his uncle, looking for an escape from his life in LA. But unbeknownst to the townspeople, the vampires have begun stirring again, with vengeance on their minds and their sights set on Barrow.
The first issue is really setting the stage, reintroducing us to the vampires and giving us a sense of who is who in Barrow now (and who is still haunted by the violence of the past). I've got high hopes for where it'll take us.
