Synopsis

In "The Complete Works of Bram Stoker," readers are invited into the expansive literary universe of one of Victorian literature'Äôs most enigmatic figures. This comprehensive collection encapsulates not only Stoker's most renowned work, the iconic horror novel "Dracula," but also his lesser-known short stories, non-fiction, and theatrical works. Through his vivid prose and gothic narrative style, Stoker explores themes of love, mortality, and the supernatural, set against a backdrop of Victorian anxieties about modernity and sexuality. His blending of folklore, myth, and psychological depth marks a significant contribution to the genres of horror and suspense, making him an influential precursor to later 20th-century writers. Born in 1847 in Dublin, Ireland, Bram Stoker'Äôs rich literary output is deeply influenced by his experiences, including a formative friendship with the actor Henry Irving and his engagements with the cultural and political discourses of his time. Stoker'Äôs background in theater and his detailed study of Eastern European folklore provided him with a unique perspective that he deftly weaves through his narratives, enhancing their authenticity and psychological resonance. I highly recommend "The Complete Works of Bram Stoker" for anyone interested in the roots of gothic literature and the complexities of human fear and desire. This collection serves not only as an essential reference for scholars of gothic fiction but also as an engrossing experience for casual readers seeking to delve into the darkly enchanting world crafted by Stoker's masterful storytelling.

    He may only have one eye, but it adores her . . . he just doesn't know it yet. 
     
     
     
    Reece Spencer became a monster after a Halloween party gone wrong, but instead of letting it ruin his life, he dedicated his life to monsters. After selling his portion of a successful investment firm, he funded the creation of a college for monsters just outside the monstrous little town of Screaming Woods. 
     
     
     
    This is his life now, trying to help monsters live as normally as possible, and nothing could disrupt that except for one new student who sets his entire world off-kilter: Kamila Letreuc, his former business partner's daughter. 
     
     
     
    The last time he saw her, she was a grieving seventeen-year-old, and now she's blossomed into a gorgeous woman. He may only have one eye, but he can tell how beautiful she is. Too bad she's off-limits. 
     
     
     
    When Kamila's father asks him to keep his eye on her, Reece makes a promise that soon becomes personal. 
     
     
     
    Now he's got an injured Kamila staying in his house, flouncing around in his clothing, and keeping his eye and hands off her is increasingly difficult—not to mention that someone is out to kill his gorgeous little half-dryad.

    Some secrets should stay buried. 
    When renowned architect Arania Webb returns to Bristol Zoo — once her childhood sanctuary but now a derelict ruin — she discovers her late father’s hidden underground lab, which harbours a dark obsession. 
    Inside, she uncovers his journals documenting twisted experiments to fuse arachnid DNA with humans, creating unnatural creatures that blur the line between species. As Arania descends into the shadowy depths and explores further, she realises the terrifying extent of her beloved father’s attempts to play god. 
    With demolition charges set to raze the derelict zoo in minutes, Arania has little time to process the ethical transgression and madness that drove her father down an unholy path before the truth is buried forever. 
    But when the site manager stumbles upon her macabre discovery, Arania knows she must act swiftly to protect her family’s legacy — and her own future. 
    Will she find a way to escape the ruins with her father’s monstrous secrets? Or will the horrors hidden beneath the zoo ultimately consume them both? 
    In this short story, J.F. Penn weaves a tale of dark secrets, genetic aberration, and a legacy that blurs the lines between ethical transgression and scientific ambition, a narrative that is as much about the inner darkness of human nature as it is about the monsters we create.

    After unwittingly inserting himself in the middle of a sting operation, Hunter Reeves finds himself sworn in as the newest agent of The Order, an international detective and crime-fighting organization - and under the supervision, of all things, a vampire named Kai. Hunter has precious little time to adjust to his new life, complicated by the fact he and Kai are quickly falling for one another. 
    But a series of fateful choices leads Kai to make a crucial decision that will affect their lives (and afterlives). Can Hunter cope with a rapidly changing world he finds himself pledged to protect? 
    "Reawakening is an engaging tale that thrives on the strength of its characters and the tension of its plot. McPherson's writing is immersive, with moments of humor and humanity that offset the darker themes. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with a strong emotional core—fans of urban fantasy, romance, and action-packed thrillers alike." -Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan
