Sinopsis

In 'The Jewel of Seven Stars,' Bram Stoker weaves a gripping tale of horror and mystery centered around the ancient Egyptian queen Tera, whose illustrious past resurfaces with deadly consequences. Stoker employs a blend of gothic elements and supernatural themes that echo the Victorian fascination with Egyptology, reflecting the era's complex relationship with imperialism and the ancient world. The narrative is rich in suspense, using a fragmented epistolary structure that draws readers into the chilling atmosphere and profound psychological depths of its characters, particularly the determined protagonist, Malcolm Ross, who faces the harrowing reawakening of an ancient evil. Bram Stoker, best known for his seminal work 'Dracula,' harnessed his deep interest in the occult and the macabre throughout his writing. His exposure to various mythologies and folklore, combined with an extensive exploration of ancient Egypt during his lifetime, led him to create this compelling exploration of power, loss, and the supernatural. His dedication to developing atmospheric narratives places 'The Jewel of Seven Stars' within a broader literary context of Gothic horror, reflecting cultural anxieties of the time. Readers seeking a thrilling blend of history, mysticism, and psychological horror will find 'The Jewel of Seven Stars' to be an essential addition to their literary journey. Stoker's eloquent prose and depth of characterization invite readers to confront the intersection of the ancient and the modern, making it a thought-provoking and unsettling exploration of desire, ambition, and the shadows of our past.

    The ultimate upgrade is flesh. 
    Content creator, performer, digital prophet—Marshall has built an empire on calculated emptiness, selling intimate access to millions of hungry eyes. But when a mysterious booking offers an obscene payday for a "special request," he discovers he's been chosen for the ultimate performance: becoming the vessel for something that exists in the spaces between flesh and code. 
    What begins as another transaction in Thread City's neon-soaked landscape of digital desire becomes a terrifying metamorphosis. As Marshall's body becomes host to an alien intelligence, the boundaries between performer and performance, human and machine, reality and stream begin to dissolve. Each click, view, and moment of rapt attention feeds the logic of code and the hunger of flesh. 
    Loading... is a visceral exploration of our hyper-connected age, where the line between content and creator has become fatally blurred. Part technological body horror, part dark mirror of influencer culture, this unflinching debut asks: In a world that devours authenticity for entertainment, what happens when something starts devouring back?
