Sinopse

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, poet, author, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States and of American literature. Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story, and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction. He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar is one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous short horror stories. It's a story about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also to a certain degree a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication, in 1845, took it to be a factual account. Poe admitted it to be a work of pure fiction in letters to his correspondents.

The house breathes. The house contains bodies and secrets. The house is visited by ghosts, by angels that line the roof like insects, and by saints that burn the bedsheets with their haloes. 
 
 
 
It was built by a smalltime hustler as a means of controlling his wife, and even after so many years, their daughter and her granddaughter can't leave. They may be witches or they may just be angry, but when the mysterious disappearance of a young boy draws unwanted attention, the two isolated women, already subjects of public scorn, combine forces with the spirits that haunt them in pursuit of something that resembles justice. 
 
 
 
In this lush translation by Sophie Hughes and Annie McDermott, Layla Martinez's eerie debut novel is class-conscious horror that drags generations of monsters into the sun. Described by Mariana Enriquez as "a house of women and shadows, built from poetry and revenge," this vision of a broken family in our unjust world places power in the hands of the eccentric, the radical, and the desperate.

Like shadows in the night, Captain Andrew Serrano and his elite team intercept the cargo ship Griffin, secretly owned by a Russian arms dealer. Their objective: capture the bio-engineer Dr. Hank Nore and deliver him to the C.I.A. The operation initially goes well, with the team overpowering the security forces and tracking their target to the lower decks. Backed into a corner, Dr. Nore resorts to desperate measures to avoid capture. When explosives breach the hull, the mercenaries are forced topside before the vessel sinks to the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Minutes later, they find themselves stranded on floating wreckage. Little do they know, their nightmare has only just begun. 
 
 
 
A large dorsal fin rises from the water. One of their numbers is quickly pulled under and torn to pieces. Serrano realizes he and his team are being stalked by a ravenous shark. Before long, it becomes evident this is not a normal shark, but a product of genetic tampering. Mutated from the October Trial of the Titan Serum experimentations, the creature seeks to kill without discrimination. With bulletproof skin and armed with teeth sharp enough to pierce steel, it is the prototype for new age of biological warfare. 
 
 
 
With his team being massacred before his very eyes, Serrano's only chance for survival is to rid the world of The Titan Prototype.
