Sinopse

Rum, a sailing ship, and a dare…   …What could go wrong?   Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first adventure stories set in and around the Antarctic, which at the time was a place of mystery and the unknown.   Pym takes us on an adventure across the seas to uncharted southern lands that are fraught with danger. With shipwrecks, murder, mutiny, and, yes, cannibalism, this tale has it all. First published in 1838, midway between Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Poe’s Pym echoes one and presages the other while delving even deeper into the darkness of men’s souls.   This new edition, with a new Foreword by New York Times best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, brings the classic tale back to life. Not for the faint of heart, Poe’s novel, which inspired H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, and many others, reflects the wonder and dangers of exploring the unknown.

    Two billion people are about to die… and they’re the lucky ones. 
    When a man in a hospital gown jumps to his death from the Western Wall in Israel, the authorities think it’s just another victim of Jerusalem Syndrome: a religious psychosis triggered by a visit to the holy city. 
    But when a second victim ritually disembowels himself, it’s the sign of much worse to come. Thanatos — a fanatical group dedicated to the destruction of the world — is on the move again. 
    The only ones who can stop them are ex-Israeli military psychologist, Oxford professor, and religious expert Morgan Sierra; and Jake Timber, agent of ARKANE, the British agency tasked with investigating — and sometimes saving the world from — the supernatural. 
    Last time, Morgan and Jake worked together to stop Thanatos from bringing about a dark version of Pentecost. This time, Thanatos is mixing science with sacrilege — combining the Devil’s Bible with mind-control technology to murder a quarter of the human race. 
    Together, Morgan and Jake will travel from the hallowed halls of Oxford, to the labs of a biotech company with a dark agenda, to a chapel made of human bones. They’ll go anywhere, do anything, to stop Thanatos. 
    But they have to hurry. 
    Thanatos is on the rise. Apocalypse is at the gates. And the only way to save a quarter of the world is for Morgan to uncover the secrets of her past… at the cost of her own future. Death awaits in a Crypt of Bone. 
    Crypt of Bone is book 2 in the ARKANE thriller series but it can be listened to as a stand-alone story.

    Demons are amassing in New York City… 
    As the dawn of the twentieth century approaches, the spectral battle for the city’s souls is heating up. Maggie Hathorn, a ghostly socialite, and her living beau, Reverend Roberto Coronado, have spent their entire courtship so far solving murders and banishing evil spirits. All Maggie wants is a chance to bask in her newfound romance, attending dinner parties and stealing moments alone with her beloved exorcist. 
    But when New York City’s Ghost Precinct receives a call of distress from the spirit world, Maggie realizes that their battles aren’t over yet. Indeed, there are evil forces at work that are larger than she could have imagined. Maggie and Coronado discover that the perpetrators of their previous cases were both part of the American-Born Guild, an organization dedicated to fanning the flames of nativism and emboldening hateful hearts toward violence. 
    Even more dangerous, members of this guild have been carelessly playing with Spiritualism, opening spectral doors and unknowingly welcoming in demonic entities. This influx of demons is endangering the spectral refuge known as Sanctuary, where Maggie has more than once found a safe haven in times of trouble. Now it is Maggie’s turn to save Sanctuary. To do this, Maggie will need to call on allies new and old to help take down the guild and dispel the amassing demons. And Maggie herself will need to step into her role as a bridge between the living and the dead. 
    If Sanctuary can be saved, it may just be the key to fulfilling Maggie’s dreams and facilitating the love between a ghost and an exorcist.

    Two years later, survivor Vanessa Loren is drawn back to South Bimini by a documentary being made about the storied region. Filmmaker Sean O’Hara aches to see how the unsolved crime haunts her . . . and Sean knows more than a little about ghosts. 
     
    Lured by visions of a spectral figurehead, Vanessa discovers authentic pirate treasures that only deepen the mystery.

    "The Terror," a gripping novel by Arthur Machen, is set against the harrowing backdrop of World War I in a rural Welsh community plagued by bizarre and horrifying occurrences. The story explores themes of fear, paranoia, and the unknown, as local residents confront unexplainable disappearances and sinister deaths that suggest a malevolent force is at play. 
    Machen creates an unsettling atmosphere shaped by wartime dread, immersing the reader in the pervasive anxiety of the era. In the small town of Meirion, the protagonist draws troubling connections between the chaos of war and the horrors invading his home.  
    Tension escalates as the protagonist becomes obsessed with the disappearance of a child amid a string of tragic events. What should be ordinary scenes twist into the macabre, enhancing the sense of menace.  
    As the novel progresses, readers encounter a landscape overshadowed by terror, with hints that these events may stem from something deeper within humanity itself. Machen invites readers to explore the darkness beneath the surface, ultimately reflecting on fear’s power to unravel ordinary life.
