Sinopse

In "The Mystery of the Sea," Bram Stoker crafts a rich tapestry of Gothic suspense intertwined with elements of adventure and psychological depth. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of coastal Scotland, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of the protagonist, who becomes embroiled in a quest that stretches beyond the natural world into the realms of the supernatural. Stoker'Äôs deft use of vivid imagery and maritime symbolism serves to amplify the themes of isolation and the unknown, hallmark features of his literary style that resonate with late Victorian anxieties surrounding modernity and imperial expansion. Bram Stoker, best known for his seminal work "Dracula," was influenced by his own travels and the folkloric tales of the Irish and British Isles. His fascination with mythology, coupled with a mastery of creating tension through unreliable narratives, reflects his deep engagement with the literary currents of his time. Stoker'Äôs personal experiences by the sea may have fueled his interest in themes of mystery and the uncanny, as he deftly weaves personal and cultural histories into his storytelling. I highly recommend "The Mystery of the Sea" to readers who appreciate the melding of Gothic horror with explorative adventure. Stoker'Äôs ability to evoke a sense of dread while navigating complex human emotions makes this novel a compelling read for those intrigued by psychological depth wrapped in supernatural intrigue.

    I Gave You Eyes and You Looked...

    “In the spirit of Ágota Kristóf and Juan Rulfo, I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness is forged from the deepest and truest stories about the perversity of the body, the sheer drama of the natural world, and the vengeful side of the divine. A fecund and daring book.”—Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X 
      
    Dawn is breaking over the Guilleries, a rugged mountain range in Catalonia frequented by wolf hunters, brigands, deserters, race-car drivers, ghosts, and demons. In a remote farmhouse called Mas Clavell, an impossibly old woman lies on her deathbed. Family and caretakers drift in and out. Meanwhile, all the women who have lived and died in that house are waiting for her to join them. They are preparing to throw her a party. 
      
    As day turns to night, four hundred years’ worth of stories unspool, and the house reverberates with raucous laughter, pungent feasts, and piercing cries of pleasure and pain. It all begins with Joana, Mas Clavell’s matriarch, who once longed for a husband—“a full man,” perhaps even “an heir with a patch of land and a roof over his head.” She summoned the devil to fulfill her wish and struck a deal: a man in exchange for her soul. But when, on her wedding day, Joana discovered that her husband was missing a toe (eaten by wolves), she exploited a loophole in her agreement, heedless of what consequences might follow. 
      
    I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness is an audacious and entrancing novel in which the lines between the dead and the living, past and present, story and history are blurred. In it, Irene Solà draws on oral tradition as well as art, literature, and fairy tales to tell a completely new kind of story.

    p>Edinburgh 1841.
    
    Reaching out like a hungry white worm it twisted and spiralled, tasting the air. Then, evidently attracted by the flow of warm blood, it squirmed its way under the surface of my skin.
    Every autumn without fail, a strange seed appears on the chestnut tree that marks the spot where the witch Margaret McKay was murdered.
    Legend states that anyone who catches this nut before it hits the ground will be blessed with untold riches, but when it falls into the eager hands of botanist Joseph Ware, the seed unleashes a terrible curse. In his quest to find the cure, Joseph discovers a resistance group battling to save the last of Scotland's witches from a sinister order of surgeons who believe the key to all magic lies hidden somewhere within a witch's anatomy.
    The conflict quickly tears apart the bonds of family, friendship and even reality itself, as Joseph fights to save his soul and avoid the anatomists' dissecting table.
    Ideal for readers of The Last Witch in Scotland, The Witches of Vardo, Bram Stoker or for those with an interest in witchcraft lore.
