There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community. These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others that have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us. These are…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community. These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others that have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us. These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales. *** When there are talks of a monster sighted in the waves off the Atlantic City boardwalk, Coursers Valentina Perrone and Sarah el-Guindi-supernatural hunters-for-hire-are called in by the local Boss to... handle it. But echoes of the past send them into the heart of the Pine Barrens, where more than one secret hides, along with their answers. Will history repeat itself? Or will the monsters find safe haven? Either way, in the end, they discover there is always more than one way to deal with a problem.

Autorenporträt
Keith R.A. DeCandido was born in what is now the Wakefield campus of Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. He attended Cardinal Spellman High School and Fordham University, both also in the Bronx, and has lived in the Boogie Down for all but one decade of his life. In 2009 and 2010, he worked for the U.S. Census Bureau, involved in dozens of different operations throughout the Bronx. So writing an urban fantasy series taking place in the northernmost of the five boroughs is a particular thrill.He introduced Bram Gold in the short story "Under the King's Bridge" in the 2011 anthology Liar Liar, and the next book in Bram's series, Feat of Clay, will also be released by eSpec Books. He's told tales of other Coursers in the Systema Paradoxa novella All-the-Way House and in short stories in Bad Ass Moms and Devilish and Divine.His other work includes a long-running series of fantasy police procedurals published by eSpec Books, the latest of which is Phoenix Precinct; a cycle of urban fantasy stories set in Key West, Florida, collected in Ragnarok and Roll and Ragnarok and a Hard Place, both published by Plus One Press; and the new Supernatural Crimes Unit urban fantasy series, forthcoming from Weird Tales Presents. He's also got an extensive résumé of media tie-in fiction, having written novels, short fiction, and comic books in more than thirty licensed universes, from Alien to Zorro, the latest of which includes the Resident Evil comic book Infinite Darkness: The Beginning and short stories in Star Trek Explorer. In 2009, he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers, which means he never needs to achieve anything ever again.When he's not writing, Keith is an editor (for clients both personal and corporate), a martial artist (he achieved his fourth-degree black belt in karate in 2021, and he regularly teaches karate to kids), an avid New York Yankees fan, and probably some other stuff he can't remember due to the lack of sleep.
