Sinopse

In Bram Stoker's iconic novel "Dracula," the reader is drawn into a gothic tapestry teeming with supernatural intrigue and existential dread. Stoker masterfully interweaves epistolary elements—diaries, letters, and newspaper articles—creating a multi-faceted narrative that heightens the sense of authenticity and immediacy. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the novel deftly explores themes of fear, desire, and the clash between modernity and antiquity, as Count Dracula invades the lives of his unsuspecting victims, challenging social norms and moral conventions of the era. Bram Stoker, an Irish author and theater manager, was heavily influenced by the folklore and superstitions of his homeland, as well as contemporary anxieties surrounding sexuality and identity during the late 19th century. His fascination with the macabre and the mystical is evident in his meticulous research and vivid characterizations, lending an air of realism to the fiction. Stoker's personal struggles and societal observations paved the way for a narrative that not only entertains but also confronts the fears of his time. "Dracula" is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of horror and literature. Its rich narrative style and profound themes offer insight into human nature and societal fears, making it a timeless classic. Whether you're a seasoned fan of gothic literature or a newcomer, Stoker's eloquent prose and gripping storytelling will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
    "The Beast in the Cave" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. The first draft was written in the Spring of 1904, with the final draft finished in April 1905, when Lovecraft was age fourteen. It was first published in the June 1918 issue of the amateur journalism publication The Vagrant, this being the equivalent of a well-edited fanzine today. The tale is to be regarded as an example of Lovecraft's juvenilia, and is classed as such in collections of his works. 
    In the 1930s Lovecraft sometimes sent a copy of the typescript to his promising young correspondents, as an example of what he had produced at their age, and also as a first exercise in re-writing. In this way, he could best judge how much imagination and promise they really had. 
    A man touring the vast Mammoth Cave becomes separated from his guide and becomes lost. His torch expires and he is giving up hope of finding a way out in the pitch dark when he hears strange non-human footsteps approaching him...

    The World Fantasy Award Finalist: “It’s Clive Barker crossed with Tanith Lee set to a Siouxsie and the Banshees beat, and I loved every second of it.” —Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author of Experimental Film Welcome to a world of monsters, ghosts, and witches, both seductive and terrifying. In the first collection of short fiction from the author of the Necromancer Chronicles, reality shifts and shimmers with potent magic. More than twenty works, including two poems, feature characters who will steal your heart just as easily as your soul. In “Wrack,” a fisherman becomes so enchanted by a mermaid that the call of the waves becomes impossible to resist. When a killer comes to “Dogtown,” he learns that his bark isn’t worse than the bites of the locals. A dying artist returns to Ireland, where the faerie she has always loved tempts her with eternal life, as long as she leaves her humanity on the shore like so much “Flotsam.” And in “Smoke & Mirrors,” the circus comes to a town strangely bereft of ghosts, thanks to a demonic being conducting a train to the netherworld. With prose that is “gently pulling, promising beautifully cold oblivion in smothering darkness,” Amanda Downum transports you to sweltering southern swamps and the labyrinthine streets of Old World cities, proving without a doubt that “she’s one of the very best dark fantastical writers working today” (Bracken MacLeod, author of Closing Costs). “Ethereal, atmospheric, and mysterious.” —Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award–winning author of Machine “These stories range from the melancholic to the downright chilling, and deftly evoke both the truly strange and the very human.” —Liz Bourke, author and reviewer for Tor.com and Locus
