Sinopse

In "Quincy Adams Sawyer and Mason's Corner Folks," Charles Felton Pidgin presents a vivid canvas of rural New England life at the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of humor and keen observation, Pidgin captures the quirks and complexities of small-town characters, immersing readers in a world where ambition, kindness, and sentiment intertwine. The narrative unfolds with a regional authenticity indicative of local color literature, embracing the nuances of dialect and folk traditions that enhance its lively portrayal of communal dynamics. The dialogue brims with colloquialisms, reflecting the era's cultural milieu, while the serialized storytelling style echoes the serialized format popular among contemporary readers of magazines at that time. Charles Felton Pidgin, an American author and journalist, was an astute observer of American life and social customs. His own experiences in various towns in Massachusetts inspired the rich tapestry of characters within Mason's Corner. Pidgin's deep connection to the region is evident in his ability to evoke the landscape and social realities of rural America, providing a genuine perspective on the aspirations and trials of ordinary people. This charming novel is a must-read for enthusiasts of regional literature and those seeking a deeper understanding of early 20th-century American society. Pidgin's ability to weave humor with poignant social commentary renders this work a compelling exploration of human nature and community life, making it a timeless addition to American literary canon.

    "At the Mountains of Madness" is a science fiction-horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931. The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to Antarctica in September 1930, and what is found there by a group of explorers led by the narrator, Dr. William Dyer of Miskatonic University. Throughout the story, Dyer details a series of previously untold events in the hope of deterring another group of explorers who wish to return to the continent. These events include the discovery of an ancient civilization older than the human race, and realization of Earth's past told through various sculptures and murals.The story was inspired by Lovecraft's interest in Antarctic exploration; the continent was still not fully explored in the 1930s. Lovecraft explicitly draws from Edgar Allan Poe's novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, and he may have used other stories for inspiration. Many story elements, such as the formless "shoggoth", recur in other Lovecraft works. The story has been adapted and used for graphic novels, video games, and musical works.

    The fourth book of the million-bestselling A Shade of Vampire series! 
    "A Shadow of Light is by far the best book in the series yet. I would absolutely recommend this book a thousand times over!" 
    - Pink Fluffy Hearts Reviews ★★★★★ 
    "A Shadow of Light throws you right into the heart of the Shade of Vampire series." -TeenBlurb ★★★★★ 
    "A riot among the humans. A siege at the port. A kingdom on the brink of civil war while still facing the threat of an attack from outside forces at any moment." 
    Since the implosion at The Oasis and Derek's stay at Hawk Headquarters, The Shade has fallen into a state of utter chaos. To make matters worse, the citizens of Derek's kingdom have become suspicious of his loyalties and accuse him of siding with the enemy... At a time when Derek desperately needs full cooperation from his subjects, they wish to put their own King on trial. 
    Meanwhile, Sofia is being held hostage by the hunters. They are determined to rid her of her infatuation with the vampire. She submits to the strict routine and training they impose on her, but the only fuel that keeps her going is the thought of reuniting with Derek - something Reuben is fighting with every fiber of his being to ensure will never happen. 
    ...Until one day, out of the blue, Reuben appears to have a change of heart and comes to Sofia with a proposal; a solution that she never dreamed possible. A solution that would fulfil her heart's deepest desires and secure her and Derek's future together, forever. 
    But can she really trust this man who is so renowned for his hatred of vampires? Does she even have a choice? 
    Note: Derek Novak and Sofia Claremont's story is only a 7 book series. It completes in Book 7: A Break of Day, and the characters embark on entirely new adventures from Book 8: A Shade of Novak.
