Synopsis

Delving into the heart of the macabre, "Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Stories & Poems" encapsulates the essence of Poe's darkly imaginative world. This collection showcases his mastery of gothic horror, psychological depth, and lyrical poetry, presenting an array of tales that probe the human psyche, explore themes of death, love, and madness, and elevate literary form through techniques such as unreliable narration and vivid imagery. Poe's unique narrative style, marked by rhythmic and melodic language, creates an immersive experience that leaves readers contemplating existential dread long after the final line is read.

For readers seeking to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of gothic literature, this comprehensive collection is indispensable.

    Shadows of Villisca 
    Historical Mystery Novel Inspired by Real Events 
    In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, history never truly sleeps.

    When a modern family is found murdered in a chilling copy of the past, their investigation spirals into a tangled web of cryptic journals, forbidden sermons, and a long-forgotten traveling carnival that once passed through town... but did it ever leave? 
    As Alex and Graves peel back layers of buried truth, they uncover evidence of a blood covenant that links past and present, and a ritual still very much alive. Haunted by warnings left in fragile letters and ancient sermons, they must race to expose the sinister force at the heart of Villisca before they become the next chapter in its bloody legend. 
    History has teeth. And in Villisca, it's ready to bite again.

    Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the  
    ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. 
     
    As a lone portal to the living world for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. Her taboo and psychologically harrowing ability was what drove her away from the  
    Navajo reservation, where she was raised by her grandmother. It has isolated her from friends and gotten her in trouble with the law. 
     
    And now it might be what gets her killed. 
     
    When Rita is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim—who insists she was murdered—latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her  
    killers, and Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels. Written in sparkling, gruesome prose, Shutter is an explosive debut from one of crime fiction’s most powerful new voices.
