Sinopsis

For years, American filmmaker and showman Carl Denham has been recognized for his movies of untamed nature, shot in exotic locations around the globe. Now, in late 1932, he's about to embark on his most dangerous gamble - to film the movie that could make or ruin his reputation. Along with first mate Jack Driscoll, a camera crew, and actress Ann Darrow, guided only by an arcane map, Denham sets sail for the lost world of Skull Island.

What they encounter there exceeds even their wildest nightmares. The island's peninsula is shielded by a giant wall, built by a long-vanished civilization, which protects the inhabitants from something on the other side - something monstrous, all-powerful...and terribly alive. Danger becomes deadly when Denham, Driscoll, and the beautiful Ann Darrow come face-to-face with the beast-god of Skull Island, King Kong.

Since its release in 1933, Merian C. Cooper's film King Kong has shocked and delighted generations of movie fans, setting the standard against which all special-effects movies have been judged ever since. Merian C. Cooper's King Kong, fully authorized by Cooper's estate, is a full, expanded rewrite of the 1932 novel, bringing his original vision back to today's fans.

    Chimps, nukes, what could go wrong? 
    It seemed like a good idea at the time: train chimpanzees to fly planes to deliver ... nuclear bombs. We'd just won the biggest war the world had ever seen, so why not? 
    The project was going really well, right up to the moment that it wasn't.  
    In June of 1947, a mysterious aircraft crashed on a ranch outside of Roswell, New Mexico, and over the years, many have speculated about what (and who) it might have been. But now, now you'll learn the truth. 
    Maybe.

    Dark spirits cling to wounded victims—but only teenage outcast Maya can see them. 
    Maya Voss lives alone in a world of shadows after her parents' divorce. No one else can see the nightmarish creatures wrapped around her dad's leg, the savage silhouettes surrounding her mom's heart, or the inky tentacles coiled around her friend's throat. That is, until she meets Cay, a boy who's just as strange as Maya. 
    Before long, their passionate connection is put to the ultimate test when it breathes new life into a vengeful, unearthly presence. Strengthened by Maya and Cay's powerful bond, insidious spirits force their way inside people's bodies and commit horrific crimes, sending humanity spiralling toward a devastating collapse. 
    Now, the same frightening magic that turned Maya into an outcast is her only hope to save the human race. But it takes two to wield her risky powers to the full—or to die trying. 
    If you're charmed by the dark magic of Michelle Madow, Jen L Grey, and Stephanie Meyer, then you'll devour the first supernatural adventure in Olivia Hillier's young adult paranormal romance series.
