The Court of the Profane

Aleister Crowley

Beschreibung

This early work of poetry, by Aleister Crowley, was originally published in 1898. Born in Royal Leamington Spa, England in 1875, Crowley was raised by Christian fundamentalist parents. He attended Trinity College at Cambridge University, but left before graduating. After leaving the college, he devoted his time to studying the occult, and travelled extensively throughout the world in persuit of its secret knowledge. He went on to become a prolific writer, producing essays, prose and poetry on a wide range of subjects. To this day he remains a highly influential figure, both in occult circles and popular culture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

Hell's Glitch - Into a Dark...

Belart Wright

An epic re-release of an American Gamelit and LitRPG classic. One of the first to delve into darkness.
Twenty years into the future, an independent virtual reality developer named Fulton Milner creates a deeply immersive VR program which truly fools the mind. Milner's newest industry shattering creation is a dark fantasy adventure simulator known only as Project DH. With technology that dives so deeply into human dreams, Milner is granted unparalleled access into each tester's mind and perhaps even their very souls.
Sam Nagai thought testing videogames would be a dream job until he got saddled with a ton of barely playable mobile games with shoddy gimmicks. Due to poor product and pay, Sam is usually reluctant whenever he gets a call for a new gig, but customers for his art commissions have been scarce and Sam needs all the money he can get. The potential bonus pay for this new gig catches his attention as does the description of the game. Virtual reality, a dark atmosphere and gothic fantasy world, role playing game mechanics, and uber hard difficulty? Sam's all in for that. After all, there's no real any danger, right?
Join Sam on a role playing adventure where the main goal is survival at all costs, where power and horror commingle in ways that are equally terrifying and addictive. It's a hair-raising adventure inspired by a dark masterpiece, at least that's what Sam thinks.
**Includes a new prologue, additional game lore, new chapters, and updated scenes for better readability and flow.
"If you want to dive into the LitRPG genre with something a little dark that clearly has a long-term plan in mind, Hells Glitch: Into a Dark Adventure is a good starting point." - Matt Doyle, author of Addict (The Cassie Tam Files)
