The Collected Works

Arthur Machen

Beschreibung

Arthur Machen's "The Collected Works" serves as a monumental compilation of his most revered writings, blending horror, mysticism, and the supernatural. These stories are characterized by Machen's lyrical prose and dense atmospherics, evoking a world where the uncanny meets the everyday. The work exemplifies the aesthetics of late Victorian literature, capturing the fascination with the macabre and the ineffable through richly developed characters and haunting landscapes, inviting readers to explore existential themes alongside sensations of dread and awe. Machen, a Welsh author and mystic, emerged from a background steeped in Catholicism and folklore. His personal experiences and deep interest in the mystical led him to question the boundaries of perception and reality, shaping the philosophical underpinnings of his narratives. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of ancient myth and language, Machen's writings transpire from a unique blend of personal belief and cultural heritage, presenting a distinct voice in the realm of supernatural literature. For readers drawn to the power of the uncanny and the philosophical inquiries woven throughout, "The Collected Works" is an essential addition to the literary canon. It not only showcases Machen's mastery of language and atmosphere but also invites contemporary readers to engage with the deep complexities of faith, nature, and the inexplicable—making it a compelling exploration for anyone intrigued by the mysteries of existence.

Open Season

Domino Finn

The only thing worse than an assassin is a zombie assassin.
That's what I find myself up against when a celebrity hypnotist turns up dead on Christmas. Except this killer is no ordinary zombie, and I should know. The name's Cisco Suarez, and besides being the Miami Police Department's resident supernatural consultant, I'm a practicing necromancer.
With a series of murders threatening to reveal the existence of magic, anti-animist militias capture the public heart. The streets are rife with unrest and vigilantes that aren't me.
To add to my growing list of distractions, a tenacious FBI agent swears I'm the infamous Shadow Man and uses increasingly hostile tactics to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, my girls Fran, Darcy, and Milena all find themselves in existential trouble.
Against all that, I still have a killer to find. So I enlist the help of a curious dog, dig up an old grave, and tie the zombie's origins to the Twelve Days of Christmas. Talk about holiday cheer.
Is it Christmas season or hunting season, and who's hunting who?
If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Steve McHugh, or John Conroe, then you are going to love Domino Finn's contribution to the smart-talking MC that's perpetually stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Dead Vessel

Amanda Fasciano

What are you supposed to do when the spirit of someone alive suddenly appears? 
Having died in the line of duty, Detective Cadence Riley has been recruited to help police haunted locations so that the spirits don't give too much away to the living. She and her partner have also helped protect the living from non-human evil spirits. All is going according to procedure until someone alive appears before her. 
Cadence has been reunited with her brother--who died ten years before when the majority of coeds in his dorm were slaughtered. Restoration of the old Victorian style dorm has begun as the college is intent on opening the building up once more. The construction does more than disturb the spirits of the dead, however. 
The spirit of an old classmate, one not killed in the massacre, appears out of the blue. As Cadence and Snow begin to put the pieces of the puzzle regarding his sudden appearance in place, it becomes clear that more is at stake. This case, for both the living and the dead, is as dangerous as a raging fire. Someone is bound to get burned.
