Sinopsis

In "The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Illustrated Edition)," readers are treated to a rich tapestry of gothic horror, existential dread, and romanticism that defines Poe's oeuvre. This comprehensive collection showcases his mastery of short fiction, evident in haunting tales such as "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," alongside his melancholic and often haunting poetry, including the iconic "The Raven." The illustrations accompanying the texts enhance the immersive experience, offering visual interpretations of Poe's deep psychological themes and striking imagery, thereby situating the work within the broader context of 19th-century American literature where gothic elements flourished. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was a pivotal figure in American literature, often regarded as the father of the modern short story and a significant influence on the genres of horror and detective fiction. His tumultuous life, characterized by personal tragedy and financial hardship, deeply informed his writing. Poe's fascination with the macabre and the exploration of the human psyche emerged from his own experiences, as he grappled with themes of death, madness, and the search for beauty amid suffering. This illustrated edition is a must-read for enthusiasts of gothic literature, students of American literature, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of the human condition. Poe's work remains relevant, and this collection offers not only an accessible entry point into his genius but also a rich visual accompaniment that deepens one's appreciation of his extraordinary contributions to literature.

The Wolfboy Chronicles Box Set

Willow Rose

Two books in one box. Willow Rose's I Am Wolf and Song for a Gypsy. Both are part of the Wolfboy Chronicles, the story of the life of Sami the Wolfboy. Originally he was just one of the characters in Song for a Gypsy but later his story was told in I Am Wolf. I Am Wolf: They call me Wolfboy. Of that very simple reason that I am part-wolf, part-boy. I'm not immortal as many people might think, but I will live longer than most. Thousands of years longer. I am immune to all diseases, I am stronger than most other beings on this planet, and I have lived through many wars and sustained much pain in my life that no human could ever do. I heal easily, but I do get hurt. I have. Up until this day, I've never told anyone how I became who or what I am. This is my story. I Am Wolf is a paranormal thriller with some violence and sexual situations recommended for ages 16 and up. Song for a Gypsy: Sara's life is drastically changed the moment a convoy of horse-drawn caravans enters the quiet Reidenburgerstrasse, where she lives with the people she thinks are her parents. Sara doesn't know that her parents found her in a basket on their doorstep 13 years earlier. Neither does she know that she is a gypsy or that she is going to be the greatest sorceress who has ever lived. Soon, Sara will discover a magical world she never knew existed and go on a journey that she knows will cost her dearly. In Song for a Gypsy, we meet Sami the Wolfboy for the first time.

Pagan's Pilgrimage

John Herdman

John Herdman's beautiful and mysterious Edinburgh tale, Pagan's Pilgrimage, first published in Scotland 1978.

With nascent love abandoned and the recurring presence of the creeping 'wrinkled-nosed' laundry man of a traumatic childhood, the stagnating life of Pagan must be revived by the discovery of a somewhat questionable raison d'être ― the assassination of an aristocrat.

The spleenful nature of Herdman's titular protagonist and a selection of odd experiences perfectly sets up a strife deep within himself: can Pagan commit to his partially book-found life-calling, tangled into his pilgrimage?

In Pagan's Pilgrimage, John Herdman expertly demonstrates his capacity to evoke complicatedly moralising characters with haunting effect. Equal parts absurd and ephemeral Pagan's Pilgrimage is an enigmatical Edinburgh tale.

"A sustained and often brilliant performance ... sheer comic invention and verbal ingenuity ... This is an observant, intelligent and humorous novel of great merit."

Alan Bold, The Scotsman

".... the writing is brilliant .....a kind of exploration of the Scottish soul .... An unforgettable piece of writing."

Cuthbert Graham, Press & Journal

"There is a seriousness at the heart of it, a wide philosophical background, and an acute psychological verity ... all that I have spoken of will delight you."

Catherine Lockerbie, The Student

"Remarkable in its clarity and disturbing in its implications. The novel is an impressive construct, amusing, climactic, at times dreadful, and locked together in tidily effective prose."

David Campbell, Scottish Educational Journal

Ariadne I Love You

J. Ashley-Smith

Jude is dragged out of Alt-Country obscurity, out of the dismal loop of booze and sadness baths and the boundless, insatiable loneliness, to scrub up and fly to Australia for a last, desperate comeback tour. Hardly worth getting out of bed for—and he wouldn’t, if it weren’t for Coreen. 
But Coreen is dead. And, worse than that, she’s married. Jude’s swan-song tour becomes instead a terminal descent, into the sordid past, into the meaning hidden in forgotten songs, into Coreen’s madness diary, there to waken something far worse than her ghost.
