1000 tulosta hakusanalla Pablo D'Stair
This 20th Anniversary Edition offers the first fully revised version of Pablo D'Stair's cult thriller, unavailable for 15 years. From his secure building, in his respectable neighborhood, awaiting his wedding day, Timothy Spell has no need to be aware of or concerned by the crimes of a killer dubbed The Cleaver-Murderer. But beyond his locked doors, there lurks a fate which will control him, consume him, and leave the lives of all who encounter him irrevocably and gruesomely altered. Written to be 'A real shilling shocker, like a 70s-era Dario Argento giallo if one was co-authored by Andre Gide' (from the Author's Preface) CONFIDANT is an inimitable entry in the canon of existential noir.
"Pablo D'Stair is defining the new writer. There is NO ONE else. As reckless as Kerouac's 120-foot trace paper, D'Stair's independence from all of us needs to be studied and celebrated." (TONY BURGESS author of People Live Still In Cashtown Corners)Village Idiot Press presents the definitive editions of the collected novels, novella, and short stories of author Pablo D'Stair. The 42 volumes are presented in chronological order of composition, 2000-2020.From PIANO FORTE: The man asked him what the content of the letter was. And he looked back. His throat tense. His gorge rising and after several moments falling. And he said 'It's a suicide letter'. Closed his eyes a moment. Like wincing from a bright light. And when he opened his eyes, the woman was taking the letter from his raising hand. She looked intently at the words on the envelope front. And he asked 'Is Elise at home'"D'Stair doesn't just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole city's burning, and these words he's putting on the page are the thing that can save us all." (STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES author of The Only Good Indian)

He was meticulous in his application of first pen strokes up then pen strokes down then side-to-side then angular four different diagonals. Often, he scribbled on both sides of the sheet, then tore it. Sometimes, if he was smoking late at night, taking the pages and burning them, watching the ashes scatter. There was a chance, of course, he was slightly lunatic. Never regretted the deletions, though."D'Stair doesn't just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole city's burning, and these words he's putting on the page are the thing that can save us all."

Wynol Trot--a family man and high school teacher with a pornography habit he takes pains to keep hidden. To Trevor English, the idea is simple--threaten Wynol with exposure unless a modest sum is paid. But when the blackmail doesn't go through, Trevor realizes his own past makes him more vulnerable than his would-be victim--and that Wynol Trot is more amoral than he could have imagined. Praise for the Books by Pablo D'Stair "D'Stair is clearly a master. Likely Jean Patrick Manchette reincarnated..." --Matt Phillips, author of Countdown and The Bad Kind of Lucky "Somehow again and again you're drawn in...you get used to the book's rhythm and follow it because the work is obsessive. We find ourselves in a languid kind of suspense, bracing ourselves..." --Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho "Pablo D'Stair doesn't just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole city's burning, and these words he's putting on the page are the thing that can save us all." --Stephen Graham Jones, Bram Stoker Award-winner "Pablo D'Stair is defining the new writer and the new film maker]. D'Stair's late realism needs to be included in any examination of the condition of the novel." --Tony Burgess, award-winning author/screenwriter "Like Kerouac before him, I felt there was one roll of paper on which the story was typed. And there's a rhythm behind it. Not the speedy bop of jazz this time, more an urban dubstep. Shadows and edges becoming audible." --Nigel Bird, author of Smoke
Manufacturing threats of blackmail against himself, petty crook Trevor English convinces his lover, Helen, to pay off his fictional victimizer.

Skint, on the skids, reduced to life in skid-row shelters, Trevor English, petty thief and habitual blackmailer, is apprehended shoplifting by store-detective-cum-freelance-investigator Leonard Bellow. Turning a blind eye to his theft, Bellow offers Trevor a job doing shutterbug reconnaissance work-an opportunity Trevor jumps at (if already with his own ends in mind). But in the world he has cornered himself in nothing remains what it seems on the surface...except, he comes to realize, for Trevor English: deadbeat, desperate, easy mark, lamb to the slaughter. this gun from Norman Court is the final installment in Pablo D'Stair's five-novella Trevor English cycle.

Leaving work on a nondescript evening, Roger is held up at gunpoint when he stops at a cash machine. He attempts to hand everything in his bank account, but robbery isn't on the gunman's mind. Roger is told simply to walk. The gunman takes him on a macabre odyssey―from city pubs to suburban neighborhoods to isolated homes in the country―and as the night presses on, a seemingly not-so-random body count grows around him. A moment-by-moment exploration of moral paralysis, Man Standing Behind charts the psyche of a random man caught in the roils of a mortal circumstance nothing to do with his own life. Is he a witness, a victim...or something altogether worse? Praise for MAN STANDING BEHIND: "This is where D'Stair shines. He has the ability to take a situation, one which might traditionally be addressed emotionally, and analyze it to the point of emotional emptiness. Life and death...is not a fight or flight, subconscious decision, but is one to be pondered, examined, weighed against context." --Caleb J. Ross, author of Stranger Will, I Didn't Mean to be Kevin, and The Soul Standard "Over the years I've stopped being astonished at the multifarious things that Pablo D'Stair can do well. Let's just say it: whatever he puts his hand to he accomplishes and with a style and panache that is his alone. So, while this short noir, Man Standing Behind...does completely satisfy, even thrill. The language is precise. The mood spot-on. The characters well-wrought and whatever the opposite of clich is. Original. Idiosyncratic. Off-kilter. Strange. The slap-back dialog, the scenes as accurate as if directed by Fritz Lang. This is D'Stair's world. Welcome to it. I envy you if this is your first time in." --Corey Mesler, author of Memphis Movie and Camel's Bastard Son Praise for the work of Pablo D'Stair: "Somehow again and again you're drawn in...you get used to the book's rhythm and follow it because the work is obsessive. We find ourselves in a languid kind of suspense, bracing ourselves..." --Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho, Rules of Attraction, and Lunar Park "Pablo D'Stair doesn't just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole city's burning, and these words he's putting on the page are the thing that can save us all." --Stephen Graham Jones, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Mapping the Interior, Mongrels and All the Beautiful Sinners "Pablo D'Stair is defining the new writer and the new film maker]. There is NO ONE else. As reckless as Kerouac's 120-foot trace paper, D'Stair's independence from all of us needs to be studied and celebrated. This is revolution. D'Stair's late realism needs to be included in any examination of the condition of the novel." --Tony Burgess, award-winning author/screenwriter of Pontypool Changes Everything and People Live Still in Cashtown Corners "Like Kerouac before him, I felt there was one roll of paper on which the story was typed. And there's a rhythm behind it. Not the speedy bop of jazz this time, more an urban dubstep. Shadows and edges becoming audible." --Nigel Bird, author of Smoke and In Loco Parentis
Esta novela es la m s pervertida, libertina, vil y sucia que haya podido concebir pero a la vez, un objeto peligroso, como puedas imaginar. Lo es para ciertas especies depredadoras, porque puede hacer de ti un ejemplar sabio, o uno necio. Nunca ambas cosas.Mientras tanto, mientras lo peregrines; goza y disfruta de lo que dejo percibir, y si has de atemorizarte, atemor zate, y si has de sentir pavor, pues, que el terror de imaginar la crueldad del mundo donde vives no te haga perder la capacidad de sobrevivir. A poco que prestes atenci n a los susurros del lobo, a poco que observes y te alarmes, ver s que est s inmerso en su mundo, en su trama, pero si al final de este relato quieres resultar indemne, y no haber tenido que atravesar todas las bajezas, todos los cr menes y, todas las inmundicias que esta ficci n propone y esboza, sin hallar el contenido que anhelas, solo hazte a un lado.
