Dark Dimensions: The Forbidden Experiment of Bheskents

Arthur Anderson

Casa editrice: BookRix

Sinossi

Within the confines of the city of Bheskents, a laboratory held the secrets of a daring yet doomed scientific quest. A team of brilliant minds, led by Luc, Glenn, Willem, Bram, Charlotte, and Jolien, embarked on an experiment to explore alternative dimensions, an endeavor that challenged the limits of human knowledge.
What began as an inquisitive and bold pursuit soon turned into an abyss of terror and despair. An unexpected twist in the course of the experiment unleashed a malevolent force that lay hidden at the borders of space-time. With every passing second, the laboratory plunged deeper into darkness, and its occupants faced an invisible and ruthless enemy.
The scientists became prisoners of their own ambition as the unleashed entity exerted its sinister influence over them. Signs of the malevolent presence insidiously manifested, tearing at the minds and bodies of those who ventured beyond the boundaries established by nature.
Internal conflicts and distrust cracked the team's foundation, fracturing their unity into a labyrinth of suspicions and fears. Mysterious disappearances, unleashed violence, and a constant struggle to maintain sanity became the new reality for those trapped in the chaos of the laboratory.
The fragile union among the survivors offered glimpses of hope, revealing ancient knowledge and inevitable sacrifices in a desperate attempt to contain the looming threat over Bheskents.
In an inevitable culmination, difficult decisions and the final confrontation with the malevolent entity would lead to devastating consequences, both for the survivors and the city itself. The forbidden experiment left its dark imprint on Bheskents' history, reminding of the dangers of exploring the unknown and challenging the limits of what is possible.

Dracula

Bram Stoker

A POWERFUL FULL CAST DRAMATIC MARATHON

“There is a reason why all things are as they are.”

Dracula author Bram Stoker was born on November 8, 1847 in Dublin. Stoker was bedridden with an unknown illness until he started school at the age of seven when he made a complete recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years." He was educated in a private school run by the Reverend William Woods.

Stoker visited the English coastal town of Whitby in 1890, and that visit was said to be part of the inspiration for Dracula. He began writing novels while working as the manager for London's Lyceum Theatre, beginning with The Snake's Pass in 1890 and Dracula in 1897. Stoker was part of the literary staff of The Daily Telegraph in London, and he wrote other fiction, including the horror novels The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911).

Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill which Stoker had developed as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a "straightforward horror novel" based on imaginary creations of supernatural life. "It gave form to a universal fantasy and became a part of popular culture.

Blood and Chrysanthemums

Nancy Baker

In this sequel to The Night Inside, a vampire couple’s relationship is tested by the modern world as a mysterious stranger hunts them down. With a dark embrace from five-hundred-year-old vampire Dimitri Rozokov, Ardeth Alexander left behind her mortal life in Toronto. Now they are attempting to forge a new life in Banff, Alberta.—and They share an unspoken agreement not to feed on humans and hunt wild animals off the beaten paths of the national park instead. However, their new reality is far from easy, and elk blood can never fully satisfy their hunger. Angry and unhappy, Ardeth longs for the life she left behind and returns to Toronto. But the machinations of a century-old Japanese vampire soon reunite the couple. Once a feudal lord, now a yakuza boss, Sademori Fujiwara shares his extraordinary life story. It is a tale that can answer the questions of love, mortality, and morality threatening to tear Ardeth and Dimitri apart for good. But the price for those answers is dangerously high . . . “Baker writes about the vampires next door . . . they bicker over petty, everyday things. They are jealous when a partner flirts with someone. They worry about paying the rent . . . ‘They’re Canadian,’ she says.” —The Vancouver Sun “Baker evokes the various figures from Japanese culture familiar in the West—yakuza, samurai and medieval court ladies and their pillow books—but she goes beyond clichés and invests these characters with a solidity and poignancy that contrast sharply with the simpler Canadian horror of The Night Inside. This is a more contemplative offering.” —Paragraph

Algernon Blackwood: The Man Who...

Algermon Blackwood

A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, "The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is (in-story) so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it. Two highly intelligent and well informed men, Professor Ebor and then Dr. Laidlaw, learn the contents of the Tablets of the Gods, and even though this information is short enough to be on two ordinary-sized tablets, it is enough to induce absolute belief in its veracity and utterly destroy hope in the reader. Yeah, that is pretty scary. There are no monsters in the tale, nothing but Forbidden Knowledge -- which, apparently, is Forbidden with good reason
