Sinossi

This Horror Anthology presents a remarkable compilation from the pens of some of the most iconic figures in literary history. Spanning the gothic, the supernatural, psychological dread, and the simply unexplainable, this collection delves into the deepest fears and darkest corners of the human psyche. Each piece has been meticulously selected to not only showcase the unique style and contribution of its author but also to weave a broader tapestry that explores the vast expanse of the horror genre. Standout works demonstrate the genre's ability to adapt and evolve, reflecting societal anxieties and personal nightmares alike, without overly focusing on individual authorial accolades. The contributing authors and editors, hailing from diverse backgrounds and periods, bring a rich palette of experiences, cultural perspectives, and narrative techniques to the anthology. Figures such as Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft rub shoulders with Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë, creating an unexpected yet harmonious convergence of voices. This assembly underscores significant movements within literature—Gothic revival, Romanticism, Realism, and more—while also highlighting the often-overlooked versatility of authors known for their contributions outside the horror genre. The eclectic mix enriches the reader's understanding of horror as a reflection of human condition through time. Readers are encouraged to dive into this Horror Anthology for an unparalleled journey across the landscape of fear and fascination. Beyond entertainment, this collection offers a lens through which we can explore the socio-cultural evolution of horror and its impact on literature and beyond. It's not merely a snapshot of the genre's best but an invitation to engage with the multifaceted dialogue between these stories and their authors. Whether for scholarly inquiry or personal exploration, this anthology promises an enriching experience for anyone intrigued by the shadows cast by the human experience.

BLADE & BASTARD: Wireframe...

Kumo Kagyu

Scorch marks blacken the wireframe dungeon, and the smell of burnt meat hangs in the air. Iarumas’s party stumbles upon a corpse, more charcoal than flesh, and Raraja insists on dragging it out. Murmur—Chant—Pray—Invoke. A large-framed girl named Berkanan gulps the fresh air of her second chance at life. Her confidence is low and her skills as a fledgling mage are inadequate, but despite all that, she has a serious goal—kill the red dragon that burned her party alive. This dragon, an interloper from the lower levels of the dungeon, has become so notorious that even the most seasoned parties refuse to engage. Even so, Garbage and Raraja agree to aid Berkanan, and Iarumas lends his support. The chances of failure are high, but in the dungeon, immolation is not a permanent end...as long as someone is willing to pay. Can Iarumas’s party douse the flames of the dragon, or will they all succumb to a menacing red death?
