"The Outsider" is a short story by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. In this work, a mysterious individual who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. "The Outsider" is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales."The Outsider" combines horror, fantasy, and gothic fiction to create a nightmarish story, containing themes of loneliness, the abhuman, and the afterlife. Its epigram is from John Keats' 1819 poem "The Eve of St. Agnes".In a letter, Lovecraft himself said that, of all his tales, this story most closely resembles the style of his idol Edgar Allan Poe, writing that it "represents my literal though unconscious imitation of Poe at its very height." The opening paragraphs echo those of Poe's "Berenice", while the horror at the party recalls the unmasking scene in "The Masque of the Red Death".Zum Buch
revised edition "There you are Doctor, we were looking everywhere for you. We have another job for you," an orderly said. "For heaven's sake don't beat around the bush!" Grumbled the Doctor. "Another freshy for you!" said the orderly. "Please refrain from referring to them as freshies call them a dead person!" hissed the doctor. "Ok another dead person!" said the orderly. "Take me to them," the doctor demanded. "Doctor Death has come to do his job," announced the orderly to the nervous nurse inside the room with the body. "I'm a coroner, not Doctor Death," said the Doctor entering the room. "So sorry!" a reaper said walking out of the room. The doctor ran to the bedside of the dead person. "Oh my god no," the doctor said weeping tears of blue electric fire which crystalized betraying his inhumanity to his colleagues. "Blue Midnight is Doctor Death!" cried the orderly. "Really, Sherlock how didn't you know!" said Blake crying, "I was called here by my son because my wife was critical!" "I just told him about his wife's death! Hey! That's your job telling people their relatives are dead!" the orderly moaned. "I'll do you the same favor one day!" snarled Blake.Zum Buch

What could the supernatural world of Stranger Things have in common with the Bible? The paranormal television series Stranger Things taps into the mysterious elements that have fueled spiritual questions for millennia. The otherworldly manifestations in Hawkins, Indiana offer compelling portrayals of important spiritual truths--and many of these truths are echoed in the supernatural worldview of the Bible. For Michael Heiser, Stranger Things is the perfect marriage of his interest in popular culture and the paranormal. In The Unseen Realm, he opened the eyes of thousands, helping readers understand the supernatural worldview of the Bible. Now he turns his attention to the worldwide television phenomenon, exploring how Stranger Things relates to Christian theology and the Christian life. In The World Turned Upside Down, Heiser draws on this supernatural worldview to help us think about the story of Jesus and discover glimpses of the gospel in the Upside Down. He argues that this celebrated series helps us understand the gospel in unique and overlooked ways. The spiritual questions and crises raised by Stranger Things are addressed the same way they are in the gospel, with mystery and transcendent power.Zum Buch
He didn’t know how or why--it just...happened one day. Jason Cole was working on finding a suitable picture for some newsletter or something. One of ten or twenty specific photos he would find that day. Same old thing he’d done a hundred times before. Looking through stock photos, this time for a cooking ad. Then he found her. In a picture titled “attractive woman in apron smiling holding a spatula.” That was the first time he ever saw her. And that first time was enough. It was her. He knew it. It was like a form a destiny or something. He just...knew. He was going to kill her.Zum Buch
