Bloodwitch Luz Oscuria

Sinossi

Appearances can be deceiving, and in a century where they often play the monk, the young Marie-Anne De LaTour, a 22-year-old minor noble, will learn it the hard way. Her curiosity will push her to send a letter to a convict of the same age, which will put her face to face with a reality that she has known for a long time, but which she refuses to be confronted with. When the nobility meets the third estate at the very end of the 17th century, they can have so much to say to each other that one detail can upset two entire lives until it reaches the point of no return.

Lockdown

Sara Driscoll

It’s every parent’s nightmare—getting a call during the school day from their teenager, huddled in a classroom as the sound of bullets echo in the background. When gunmen invade a Brooklyn school, that nightmare becomes a horrific reality. Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there's no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost. Instead of a quickly-resolved mass shooting, one of the two shooters holes up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages, and Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

The Shadows on the Wall

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman

When Edward Glynn dies suddenly in the family home, the surviving siblings gather in mourning—yet grief quickly gives way to dread. A strange shadow begins appearing on the study wall each night, a tall and unmistakably human silhouette that refuses to fade, no matter how the room is rearranged or the light is moved. 
Caroline, Rebecca, and Emma Glynn struggle to hold themselves together as the tension among them thickens, suspicions grow sharper, and their brother Henry’s behavior turns increasingly frantic. What is the shadow? Why does it look like Edward? And what secret is Henry so desperate to bury that even death can’t silence it? 
First published in 1903, The Shadows on the Wall is a masterfully crafted example of quiet, psychological horror—an eerie New England ghost story that unfolds inside a suffocating Victorian household where guilt, fear, and the supernatural intertwine. 
Narrated with chilling subtlety by Jule Ann Marra, this classic tale proves that some hauntings don’t come from beyond the grave… but from the living who carry what they dare not confess. 
Perfect for fans of gothic fiction, domestic ghost stories, and atmospheric supernatural mysteries.
