Sinossi

It's the aftermath of the second opium war in Southeast Asia. Declan Malcolm, the newly elected captain, must lead a crew of sailors to navigate the treacherous high seas while protecting goods for a local triad leader, Three-Finger Tang.
 
At the same time, Civil War veterans Ridley and Dranoff are adjusting to post-reconstruction and become mercenaries for hire.
 
Both groups seek purpose to their life, and their paths cross by chance. But when a celebration of good fortune turns dangerous, the mariners and soldiers must join forces to vanquish a supernatural foe - or die trying.
 
Historical fiction meets bone-chilling horror in Andrew Davie's 'From Beyond', a story set in the dangerous high seas of late 19th century Asia.
Disponibile da: 16/05/2022.
Lunghezza di stampa: 70 pagine.

    As Jerry struggles to coexist with his new ghostly companion, he must also follow the feeling that warns him of imminent danger in order to save Savannah - a psychic medium who unknowingly puts her own life at risk when she refuses to give her client bad news. 
    Will Pennsylvania State Trooper McNeal be able to find the dog another companion to attach itself to? Or will Jerry finally accept things he has no power to change and make a decision that will alter his life forever?

    In a future America that feels eerily controlled, prosperous, and quietly altered, Hildred Castaigne walks the streets of New York with a secret he believes will reshape the world. 
    Recovered from a past injury and newly filled with ambition, Hildred becomes obsessed with a forbidden book—The King in Yellow—a work whispered to corrupt the mind of any who read beyond its opening act. From that moment on, reality begins to shift. 
    Under the influence of the mysterious Mr. Wilde—a man who claims to repair reputations for a price—Hildred constructs an elaborate vision of power, destiny, and royal inheritance. As his plans unfold, the line between truth and delusion fractures, revealing a chilling descent into madness where logic bends, identities distort, and unseen forces seem to press in from beyond comprehension. 
    Set against a haunting vision of New York—complete with the unsettling presence of the government-sanctioned Lethal Chamber—Robert W. Chambers crafts a story that is both intimate and cosmic, psychological and prophetic. 
    The Repairer of Reputations is the opening tale in the infamous The King in Yellow, a collection that has captivated—and disturbed—readers for generations. 
    A quiet unraveling. 
    A mind in collapse. 
    A world that may not be what it seems.
