Beschreibung

In "A Fragment of Life," Arthur Machen presents a philosophical exploration of the nature of reality and perception through a gracefully woven narrative. The novella delves into the inner workings of the mind, encouraging readers to question the boundaries between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Reflecting on themes of memory, consciousness, and existentialism, Machen employs a lyrical style that is both evocative and enigmatic. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, the work invites a contemplation of the metaphysical amid the chaos of modern life, resonating with the Symbolist movement that sought to transcend superficial reality through suggestion and imagery. Arthur Machen, a Welsh author renowned for his influential contributions to horror and bizarre fiction, drew from his own experiences and beliefs in crafting this poignant narrative. His fascination with the mystical and the arcane reflects the cultural milieu of his time, marked by a burgeoning interest in spiritualism and the unknown. Machen's unique perspective, shaped by both his Welsh heritage and the literary currents of his era, serves as a vital underpinning for the thematic depth found in "A Fragment of Life." I highly recommend this work for readers seeking to engage with a poignant reflection on the complexities of existence and the often imperceptible layers of reality. Machen's ability to intertwine philosophical musings with rich, atmospheric storytelling makes it an essential read for those interested in the intersections of literature, philosophy, and the supernatural.

    Douglas River is a nightclub owner in Morgantown, West Virginia. River is also a vampire who, after nearly two centuries of bloodsucking, suddenly discovers he's becoming human again--he's starting to see himself in the mirror, blood makes him sick, daylight doesn't bother him, and other worse things are starting to happen. 
    Normally, this might not present too much of a problem. But in River's case, he needs to find a cure…fast. He's one of the vampire elite, and after his secret leaks out, other vampires want to kill him so they can usurp his position. 
    River also has the problem of a team of vampire hunters who've been after him for ages, trying to kill him, too. 
    The unsympathetic and bloodthirsty River is the sort of fellow who loves being godlike and hates the concept of becoming human. He's desperately looking for his cure and will stop at nothing to end his Vampire’s Nightmare.

    A love story called My Hell was inspired by my Muse, and many of the poets I have studied. It was originally written to be a narrated stage play. In this Narrative epic Love Story there are hidden messages that only your subconscious will perceive. I wrote this epic story with the intent to show the moral of the story, "Love Conquers All." The story is about a  journey through Hell and many personal confrontations with Satan himself. This is one Journey through Hell you will never forget. Welcome to My Hell.

    "The Descendant" is a story fragment by H.P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in 1927. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death. The story begins with a narrator explaining that he is on his deathbed and feels the need to share a particular story before he dies. He tells of a quiet and slightly mad older man who lives in the Gray's Inn with his pet cat. The man is haggard and haunted, looking older than his years and terrified of church bells. A young man named Williams (the narrator) moves into the Inn and tries to befriend the old man and get him to share his knowledge. It is revealed that the man is Lord Northam of England. Williams' attempts are largely rebuked until one day, Williams acquires a copy of the Necronomicon, the book of the dead that captures the minds of so many intrigued by the dark arts...
