  Step into the occult underworld of Edwardian London with Aleister Crowley, a rebellious genius and aspiring magician, as he plunges into the secret society of the Golden Dawn.The year is 1900, and this isn't just a new club; it's a war zone. Crowley, a world-class mountaineer and acclaimed poet, unwittingly arrives amidst a power struggle as formidable magicians revolt against their leaders, MacGregor Mathers and his wife, Moina Mathers.Empowered by an ancient Arabic grimoire, the Mathers claimed contact with "Secret Masters," but now their influence is waning. As historical figures like William Butler Yeats and Bram Stoker populate the ranks, Crowley finds himself caught in a magical crossfire. His naive pursuit of enlightenment accidentally ignites an all-out wizard war with magical attacks recoiling upon his adversaries. Yet, aided by unseen forces, Crowley uncovers the interdimensional secrets of the ancient book, unleashing its power himself. This epic adventure culminates in a climactic magical showdown, where Crowley's self-realization becomes his ultimate weapon.Between the darkness and the light stands Aleister Crowley.

  In a rundown neighborhood in the heart of Las Vegas, the Alicia hotel awakens and beckons to the most vulnerable—those with something to hide. 
   
   
   
  After his parents are killed in a horrific roadside execution, Alvaro flees his home in Colombia and finds work as a line cook at the seedy hotel. Together with his sister, Carmen, he begins to make a new life in the desert, earning a promotion to management along with an irresistible offer to stay at the hotel rent-free. But as beloved photographs go missing and grotesque strangers wander the corridors, the promise of the Alicia decays into nightmare. Alvaro discovers that the hotel is a small appendage of an enormous creature that feeds on guests and their secrets, one that will eventually bring him face-to-face with the memories he most wants to outrun. Alvaro, Carmen, and their friends decide to cooperate with the creature. But in their efforts to appease it, do they sacrifice too much of themselves? 
   
   
   
  Haunting and visceral, Extended Stay uses the language of body horror and the gothic to comment on the complicated relationship between the Latinx undocumented experience and capitalism, the erasure of those living and working on the margins, the heavy toll exacted by memory, and the queasy permeability of boundaries that separate the waking world from the world of dreams.
