The men who were waiting for that wolf had silver bullets in their muskets. A classic of dark fantasy from the legendary pulp magazine Weird Tales!
AN UNTAMED POWER. A DANGEROUS BOND. A PROPHECY THAT COULD DESTROY THEM BOTH. When Sunnie Burke returns home after her father’s sudden death, she finds only more questions—her mother missing, whispers that her father still lives, and a hidden portal leading into Faery. There, an enchanted staff awakens wild, uncontrollable magic inside her. Caleb O’Brien, cursed by dark power yet sworn to protect her, has no choice but to follow her into the realm. Hunted by a ruthless sorceress and ensnared by an ancient prophecy, Sunnie’s power becomes both a weapon and a curse. To survive, she must learn who to trust before her true self is lost forever. And Caleb must face the hardest truth of all: only one person can break the spell binding her to darkness—and the cost could be everything they love. NARRATED BY KATHERINE WILLIS. A spellbinding sequel perfect for fans of Juliet Marillier, Leigh Bardugo, and fantasy romance full of danger, destiny, and desire.Ver livro

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume the wonders of Sci-Fi and its inventions are twisted with the darkness of horror to reveal narratives that grip us in inventive ways. Perhaps only pens of the calibre of Lovecraft, Stevenson, Wells and their literary colleagues can so easily lure our senses into dark and terrifying times. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - Classic Sci Fi Horror - An Introduction 2 - Re-Animator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft 3 - Re-Animator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft 4 - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson 5 - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson 6 - A Thousand Deaths by Jack London 7 - The Operation by Violet Hunt 8 - Moxon's Master by Ambrose Bierce 9 - The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson 10 - Carnivorine by Lucy Hamilton Hooper 11 - The Blue Laboratory by L T Meade 12 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 1 by Nathaniel Hawthorne 13 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 2 by Nathaniel HawthorneVer livro
