Sinossi

In "The Weird Tales - Horror & Macabre Collection," Arthur Machen masterfully weaves a tapestry of the uncanny and the grotesque, showcasing his distinctive prose that flirts with the boundaries of reality and the supernatural. This anthology captures the essence of early 20th-century horror, interlacing eldritch themes with psychological depth, and offers readers a glimpse into the human psyche's darkest corners. Machen's stories, rich with symbolism and evocative imagery, epitomize the aesthetic of the Decadent movement, inviting readers to explore the thin veil between the mundane and the mystical. Arthur Machen, a pivotal figure in the development of modern horror literature, was influenced by his profound interest in spirituality, folklore, and mysticism. Born in 1863 in Wales, his Welsh heritage and religious upbringing significantly shaped his worldview. Machen's writing often reflects an obsession with the unknown and the unexplainable, stemming from his belief in the unseen forces that govern life. His works have inspired generations of writers, solidifying his importance in the canon of supernatural fiction. "The Weird Tales" is indispensable for aficionados of horror and literary enthusiasts alike, providing a compelling exploration of the strange and the macabre. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in a world teeming with eerie atmospheres and haunting narratives will find this collection a treasure trove of unsettling tales that linger long after the final page is turned.

    Time travel, a sea serpent, and a long-lost aunt . . . what could go wrong? 
     
     
     
    It's not that I thought life was going to be easier now that I've settled into being forty, happily married to the man of my dreams, living my best life as a witch, but, well, okay yes, that is what I thought. 
     
     
     
    Reality comes knocking the day I try to open the door to my shop and the key doesn't work. Neither does anything else: bricks to the window, my strongest spells, an actual half-giant punching in the door—nada.

    Maybe this is a ghost story . . . 
     
     
     
    Andrew Larimer has left his past behind. Rising up the ranks in a New York law firm, and with a heavily pregnant wife, he is settling into a new life far from Kingsport, the town in which he grew up. But when he receives a late-night phone call from an old friend, he has no choice but to return home. 
     
     
     
    Coming home means returning to his late father's house, which has seen better days. It means lying to his wife. But it also means reuniting with his friends: Eric, now the town's sheriff; Dale, a real-estate mogul living in the shadow of a failed career; his childhood sweetheart Tig who never could escape town; and poor Meach, whose ravings about a curse upon the group have driven him to drugs and alcohol. 
     
     
     
    Together, the five friends will have to confront the memories—and the horror—of a night, years ago, that changed everything for them. 
     
     
     
    Because Andrew and his friends have a secret. A thing they have kept to themselves for twenty years. Something no one else should know. But the past is not dead, and Kingsport is a town with secrets of its own. 
     
     
     
    One dark secret . . . 
     
     
     
    One small-town horror . . .

    The Thing on the Roof, written by Robert E. Howard in 1932, is a chilling tale that masterfully blends elements of Lovecraftian cosmic horror with Howard’s signature sense of adventure and danger. First published in Weird Tales in 1932, this story exemplifies Howard’s ability to craft narratives that delve into forbidden knowledge, ancient relics, and the inevitable consequences of tampering with forces beyond human comprehension. The story follows the misadventures of an unnamed narrator, an antiquarian who recounts the fate of a colleague, Tussmann, after he unearths a mysterious and ominous artifact: the Black Book. Fueled by greed and intellectual hubris, Tussmann uses the text to locate an ancient temple in Central America, unaware of the terrible entity that slumbers there. The story builds tension as Tussmann’s quest for knowledge turns into a nightmare, culminating in an encounter with an unspeakable being that defies logic and sanity. The Thing on the Roof showcases Howard’s skill at fusing his love of archaeology, mythology, and horror into a fast-paced, atmospheric tale. The influence of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos is evident, with the story’s emphasis on ancient, malevolent forces and the dire consequences of uncovering them. Yet, Howard’s voice remains distinct, adding a visceral energy and sense of immediacy to the unfolding terror. This story invites readers to consider the dangers of arrogance and unchecked curiosity, themes that resonate deeply in the realm of weird fiction. As you journey into the shadowy world of The Thing on the Roof, prepare for an adventure that combines the allure of discovery with the chilling reminder that some mysteries are best left undisturbed.
