Sinopse

A mother learns evil resides in the house next door in this chilling classic gothic mystery by a New York Times–bestselling author. 
 
The house next door to Pat Robbins—eerily identical to the home Pat shares with her college-aged son, Mark—has been empty for years, the darkness within seeming to warn all to stay away. Now new tenants are moving in: affable Josef Friedrichs and his lovely daughter, Kathy, who has stolen Mark’s heart on first glance. But something is not right—something old and secret lurking in the shadows that fresh paint and new furnishings cannot mask or exorcise. There is evil alive in the heart of the house next door—and it means to feed on the fears of two families . . . and drag Kathy Friedrichs with it into peril.

The Raven

Edgar Allan Poe

Step into the midnight gloom where the shadows whisper secrets and the air pulses with an otherworldly rhythm. The Raven isn't just a poem; it's a descent into the labyrinth of loss and longing, where a single word—nevermore—echoes like a heartbeat in the void. Edgar Allan Poe masterfully crafts a symphony of despair, weaving melancholy into each verse until it drips with haunting beauty.
This is not a tale of answers but of unyielding questions. Who truly haunts this chamber—the raven, the memory of Lenore, or the narrator's unraveling mind? As the candlelight flickers, Poe invites us to linger in the darkness, daring us to find solace or terror in its depths. Here, the familiar becomes strange, and the boundaries between reality and imagination blur into a dreamscape of chilling wonder.

THE BRIDE. Rescued by Caroline as a four-year-old beggar, Elizabeth Lavenza knows the only way she can repay the Frankensteins is by accepting Victor's hand in marriage. But when Elizabeth's heart yearns for another, the lives of those she most loves collide with the unnatural creature born of Victor's profane experiments.
THE SERVANT. After an abusive childhood, Justine Moritz is taken in by Caroline to serve the Frankensteins. Justine's devotion to Caroline and Elizabeth knows no bounds . . . until a tragedy changes her irrevocably. Her fate sets her against Victor's monster, who is desperate to wreak revenge against the Frankensteins.
