Sinossi

Abraham Merritt's 'The Moon Pool' is a captivating blend of science fiction and fantasy, set against the backdrop of a mysterious underground world. Merritt's vivid descriptions and intricate world-building immerse the reader in a journey of exploration, danger, and supernatural encounters. The literary style of the book showcases Merritt's unique ability to blend scientific concepts with folklore and myth, creating a truly immersive reading experience. Published in 1919, 'The Moon Pool' is considered a classic of early 20th-century speculative fiction, influencing later authors such as H.P. Lovecraft. Abraham Merritt, a former journalist and editor, drew inspiration from his interest in science and the supernatural to create 'The Moon Pool'. His background in writing for popular magazines allowed him to craft a narrative that seamlessly weaves together elements of adventure, mystery, and the unknown. Merritt's deep understanding of both science and folklore shines through in his storytelling, making 'The Moon Pool' a truly unique and engrossing read. I highly recommend 'The Moon Pool' to readers who enjoy a thrilling blend of science fiction and fantasy, with a touch of the supernatural. Merritt's masterful storytelling will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, making this book a must-read for fans of speculative fiction.

    Everyone has secrets, some deadlier than others. Psychic Ryley St. James's secrets threaten to kill her, and now both the living and the dead are out for blood. 
     
     
     
    There's nothing that Ryley hates worse than her father, but serial killers rank a close second. Alive or dead, they're all the same—they need to be stopped. When a ghostly serial killer torments a young girl, Ryley must put an end to his reign of terror and figure out a way to shove him into the great beyond. 
     
     
     
    But when a fellow psychic turns up dead, and another one suddenly goes missing, Ryley suspects that it's not just the ghostly threats she needs to worry about. There's also a live predator lurking somewhere in the shadows. 
     
     
     
    As she gets closer to the truth, she's forced to confront her own personal demons. Her father's sinister presence is getting dangerously close to her life, the reapers are demanding answers, and the ghostly serial killer wants to add her to his body count. 
     
     
     
    It's not a matter of if she'll die but who will get credit for killing her first. 
     
     
     
    Can she keep it together long enough to battle the secrets from her past and deal with these new killers before it's too late?

    January 1921. Though the Great War is over, in Ireland a new civil war is raging. The once-grand Kilcolgan House, a crumbling bastion shrouded in sea mist, lies half empty and filled with ghosts, both real and imagined, while it shelters the surviving members of the Prendeville family. Then, when an IRA ambush goes terribly wrong, Maud Prendeville, Lord Kilcolgan’s eldest daughter, is killed, leaving the family reeling. Yet the IRA column behind the attack insists they left her alive, that someone else must be responsible for her terrible fate. Captain Tom Harkin, an IRA intelligence officer and Maud's former fiancé, is sent to investigate. He becomes an unwelcome guest in this strange, gloomy household. Working undercover, Harkin must delve into the house's secrets—and discover where, in this fractured, embattled town, allegiances truly lie. But Harkin too is haunted by the ghosts of the past and by his terrible experiences on the battlefields. Can he find the truth about Maud's death before the past—and his strange, unnerving surroundings—overwhelm him?
