Sinossi

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The importance of Robert William Chambers for fantasy literature


Originally published in 1911, “The Common Law” is a novel by American artist and fiction writer Robert W. Chambers, best known for his book of short stories entitled “The King In Yellow.”

“The Common Law” tells the story of an artist, Louis "Kelly" Neville, who is already famous, but finds greatness easier to talk about than achieve. Chance conversation with the model for his new project leads him to put his theories about creativity, society, and love to the test, and he finds that other people have their own ideas about how all of these should go, from his closest friends and rivals to the woman who warms his heart. Indeed, love itself may cost him everything, including his artistic inspiration. Is he willing to pay the price? And even if he is, can he?

    My family, the Whitlows, are basically the supernatural Corleones of the Carolinas. We run a magical safe house disguised as a quaint inn, backed by more old money than sense. My sisters are more likely to start an apocalypse than prevent one—Alafair's never met a margarita she didn't like, and if Emmery had to choose between her spellbook and her heels, I'm pretty sure the stiletto sling-backs would win. 
     
     
     
    So who gets stuck with the messes? That would be me, Tula Whitlow, because I'm competent enough to be useful and way too lazy to argue. 
     
     
     
    I'm not the most powerful witch in town (that'd be my aunt Ruby, who treats dark magic like a contact sport), but I'm the only one who bothers to show up. 
     
     
     
    Now there's an FBI agent on my doorstep with a case that's way above my pay grade. His sister's life is on the line, and all signs point to an upscale vineyard with some dark secrets. Ancient curses, old gods, and the kind of magic that makes even my aunt Ruby nervous. I'm going to have to wrangle my family into helping. 
     
     
     
    Look, I know what you're thinking—why not call in the magical equivalent of SWAT? Trust me, in this town, my family IS the nuclear option. Heaven help us all.

    Reunited again—and I don’t f*cking care whether that’s a good thing or not. 
    Haunted by grief, plagued by hunger, we’re on the run—again. And mostly not from the undead this time, since I have my own special way of dealing with the zombies. It’s the living who think that survival of the fittest puts them on top of the food chain now.  
    Well, I got a surprise for you… 
    And, wouldn’t you know it, Jared is all for helping me stay strong… and full. 
    But there is hope for humanity yet, even if mine’s possibly lost for good. Resistance is rising, the intrepid few still fighting for a better tomorrow. Maybe not all is lost for those believing they are beyond being saved—or don’t give a crap about such mundane concepts. Yet times are trying enough that for a hot meal and a quiet night at a warm fire, we might just risk it all. 
    Only that none of us realized what we’d actually have to bargain for… 
    Because in the zombie apocalypse, things can always get worse.

    A deadly daywalking vampire, a super-sized serial killer, and a deceptive director all dog Agent Mendoza’s steps. Can he unravel the conspiracy behind the murderous rampage, before death comes knocking at his door? 
    Agent Tony Mendoza has a sleeping problem… every time he falls asleep, he dreams of her. 
    But it’s not any cozy, cuddly encounter his subconscious conjures, nor some kinky, carnal congress. 
    Instead, Tony’s nights are haunted by nightmares of his supernatural stalker bleeding him dry. 
    He’s also seeing things. Shadows flitting at the edges of his vision, cloaked figures lurking in darkened doorways, and a 7-foot-tall homeless man who accosts him and disappears. 
    Except, the leviathan vagrant turns out to be real—and he’s killing people close to home. 
    As the murders edge toward Tony's inner circle, the detective suspects his insidious inamorata might be the cause. 
    Now, Agent Mendoza has to track down the killer and dig up the dirt on his vampiric tormentor, all while being stonewalled by the mysterious and secretive Director Strickland. 
    The clock is ticking. Will Tony connect the clues in time to prevent the deaths of his closest friends? Or will he fall prey to the vicious vamp’s witchery, sacrificing his autonomy, forever?

    And both human and cryptid will discover that nothing can stop the Wendigo…
