Sinopse

What secrets lie buried in the dark woods—and in the depths of the human mind?Set in rural Pennsylvania in 1787, Edgar Huntly follows a young man’s obsessive quest to uncover the truth behind his friend Waldegrave’s mysterious murder. When Edgar encounters Clithero, a disturbed servant seen digging in the earth and speaking in his sleep, suspicion takes root—and with it, a descent into the eerie world of sleepwalking, hallucination, and psychological torment.As Edgar pursues Clithero through forests, caves, and nightmarish landscapes, he is forced to confront not only external dangers but the darkness within himself. What begins as a murder investigation becomes a chilling exploration of guilt, memory, and the fragile line between reason and madness.A landmark in early American Gothic fiction, Edgar Huntly blends suspense, philosophy, and psychological depth in a haunting tale that still resonates more than two centuries later.A forgotten classic of terror and introspection—bold, visionary, and unsettling.Charles Brockden Brown (January 17, 1771 – February 22, 1810) was an American novelist, historian, and editor of the Early National period.

    Paris, 1922: Zoe Barlow knows the pain of loss. By the age of eighteen, she'd already lost her father to suicide and her reputation to an ill-fated love affair—not to mention other losses, too devastating for words. Exiled from her home and her beloved younger sister by their stepmother, she was unceremoniously dumped in Paris without a friend to help her find her way. Four years later, Zoe has forged a new life as a painter amidst fellow artists, expats, and revolutionary thinkers struggling to make sense of the world in the aftermath of war. She's adopted this Lost Generation as her new family, so when her dear friend Hadley Hemingway loses a valise containing all of her husband Ernest's writings, Zoe happily volunteers to track it down. But her search for the bag keeps leading to murder victims, and Zoe must again face hard losses—this time among her adopted tribe. If she persists in her reckless quest to find the killer, the next life lost may be her own. Pulsing with the glamour and excitement of the Jazz Age, Lost in Paris explores a young woman's journey to redeem herself from the heartaches of her past while finding her way forward in tumultuous, unprecedented times.
