Summary

Carmilla (1872) is a Gothic novel that begins when Laura, a young woman living with her father in an isolated castle in Styria, receives an unexpected visit from Carmilla, a mysterious young woman who, following an accident during her journey, stays as a guest at the family home.

As the two young women grow closer, Laura finds herself increasingly fascinated by her new companion. However, Carmilla's strange behaviour, her prolonged absences at night and the unsettling secrets surrounding her past arouse a growing unease. At the same time, a series of strange illnesses and deaths begin to spread throughout the region, fuelling rumours and fears amongst the local inhabitants.

As she tries to make sense of the events unfolding around her, Laura finds herself caught up in an atmosphere of mystery, attraction and danger where nothing is quite what it seems and where an ancient threat appears to have returned to disrupt the peace of the place.

Eulalie: Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories.

Ah, less—less bright
The stars of the night
Than the eyes of the radiant girl!
And never a flake
That the vapour can make
With the moon-tints of purple and pearl,
Can vie with the modest Eulalie’s most unregarded curl—
Can compare with the bright-eyed Eulalie’s most humble and careless curl.

What if the most terrifying discovery in the universe isn't hidden among the stars, but trapped in the room with you? Isolated on a remote Bornean mountain, astronomer Woodhouse begins a solitary night watch inside the claustrophobic Avu Observatory. The telescope is locked onto the void, and the suffocating jungle below is dead silent. But the stillness is shattered when something blots out the starlight, and the heavy dome echoes with thundering blows. The sanctuary has been breached. Trapped in absolute pitch-blackness, Woodhouse is no longer alone. A colossal, leathery horror with razor-sharp teeth and a mastiff-sized shadow is scraping through the dark, hunting his breath. To survive, he must wage a desperate, bloody battle against a nightmare the world was never meant to see. Master of suspense H.G. Wells crafts an unforgettable descent from quiet cosmic observation into pure, primitive terror. Press play now and plunge into the pitch-black nightmare... if you dare!
