Ever want to blame the worst thing you’ve ever done on someone (or something) else? Edgar Allan Poe believes that you don’t have to, and that each time someone does something that is against their best interest they are being visited by the Imp of the Perverse. The narrator of this story, in fact, is visited by this imp after he murders a man via poisonous candle. After thinking he got away with it, he gets a visit from the imp on the streets of his town – and begins to question whether he can hold his secret in any longer.Ver libro

While not as well-known but no less strange and mesmerizing are his tales of agonizing horror found in Weird Tales Magazine, many of which take places in the grim and stark swamp lands and forests of the American South, showing us terrifying visions of the ghastly and grisly that may lurk, not in faraway lands of magic and mystery, but just around the corner.

A storm is brewing on the Yorkshire moors, bringing with it a tale of love so fierce it destroys everything in its path. When Mr. Lockwood seeks refuge from the bitter snow in the gloomy, forbidding manor known as Wuthering Heights, he unwittingly steps into a world haunted by the ghosts of a devastating past. His hostile landlord, the brooding and enigmatic Heathcliff, harbors a darkness born of a tortured childhood and an agonizing, thwarted love. Through the eyes of the housekeeper, Nelly Dean, the tempestuous history of the Earnshaw family is laid bare. At its center is the intense, almost feral bond between Heathcliff and the beautiful, headstrong Catherine Earnshaw. Theirs is not a gentle romance, but a primal force of nature—a connection so deep that neither marriage, nor betrayal, nor even death itself can sever it. Emily Brontë's masterful Gothic novel transcends the boundaries of traditional Victorian literature. Wuthering Heights is an exploration of obsession, revenge, and the chilling echoes of a love that refuses to die. Prepare to be swept away by a literary masterpiece that will haunt your waking thoughts and linger in your dreams.Ver libro
