Summary

No space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused. 
A Christmas Carol is one of the most beloved and heart-warming Christmas tales of all time. Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy and unsympathetic man who has no time for Christmas.  
"If I could work my will," said Scrooge indignantly, "Every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!" 
Yet everything changes when his former partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the dead to haunt him on Christmas Eve. Soon he has to face the Christmases of his past, present and future in a journey to become a better person.

    The Reanimator series broke the mold on Lovecraft’s writings – becoming one of the earliest serial stories written by Lovecraft, one of the earliest fiction mentions of zombies, and the inspiration for the 1980’s cult classic film. Reanimator follows Herbert west on his mission to fulfil his theory – that the human body can be restarted after death. The series follows through many close misses, zombies, and demon summoning as West tries unsuccessfully to reanimate bodies. Ending with catacombs and, as you might guess, catastrophes – Herbert West: Reanimator is one of Lovecraft’s most beloved and gripping series.
