Sinopse

Edward Sylvester Ellis's "The Phantom Hunter; or, Love After Death" plunges readers into a world where the boundaries between the living and the spectral are blurred. This novel intertwines elements of gothic fiction, supernatural mystery, and romance, showcasing Ellis's hallmark blend of adventure and emotional depth. The narrative unfolds through richly descriptive prose, revealing a haunting tale of devotion that endures beyond the grave, set against the backdrop of an America grappling with the tensions of scientific progress and spiritual inquiry in the late 19th century. Ellis, a prolific author known for his contributions to boys' literature and adventure tales, draws upon his background in journalism and significant cultural movements of his time, including Spiritualism and the fascination with the supernatural that captivated many. His personal experiences and reflective engagement with societal themes surely shaped the narrative, allowing him to explore complex human emotions while asserting the importance of love transcending death. This compelling novel is a poignant exploration of love's resilience and the human spirit's quest for connection. Ideal for enthusiasts of classic American literature and gothic romance, "The Phantom Hunter" invites readers to reflect on their own beliefs about love, loss, and the mysteries that lie beyond our tangible reality.

    “This impressively bleak vision of the near future is as grotesquely amusing as it is grim.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
    		 
     “A gripping tour-de-force torn from tomorrow’s headlines.” — David Demchuk, author of Red X and The Bone Mother
    		 
    “A bold dystopian novel that captivates with its dread and depth. The Marigold is unhinged literary horror that goes right to the source of decay.” — Iain Reid, award-winning author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Foe, and We Spread
    		 
    In a near-future Toronto buffeted by environmental chaos and unfettered development, an unsettling new lifeform begins to grow beneath the surface, feeding off the past.
    		 
    The Marigold, a gleaming Toronto condo tower, sits a half-empty promise: a stack of scuffed rental suites and undelivered amenities that crumbles around its residents as a mysterious sludge spreads slowly through it. Public health inspector Cathy Jin investigates this toxic mold as it infests the city’s infrastructure, rotting it from within, while Sam “Soda” Dalipagic stumbles on a dangerous cache of data while cruising the streets in his Camry, waiting for his next rideshare alert. On the outskirts of downtown, 13-year-old Henrietta Brakes chases a friend deep underground after he’s snatched into a sinkhole by a creature from below.
    		 
    All the while, construction of the city’s newest luxury tower, Marigold II, has stalled. Stanley Marigold, the struggling son of the legendary developer behind this project, decides he must tap into a hidden reserve of old power to make his dream a reality — one with a human cost.
    		 
    Weaving together disparate storylines and tapping into the realms of body horror, urban dystopia, and ecofiction, The Marigold explores the precarity of community and the fragile designs that bind us together.

    The story involves a mine that uncovers a very deep chasm, too deep for any sounding lines to hit bottom. The night after the discovery of the abyss the narrator and one of the mine's workers, a Mexican called Juan Romero, venture together inside the mine, drawn against their will by a mysterious rhythmical throbbing in the ground. Romero reaches the abyss first and is swallowed by it. The narrator peers over the edge, sees something – "but God, I dare not tell you what I saw!" and loses consciousness. The next morning, the narrator and the deceased Romero are both found in their bunks. Other miners swear that neither of them left their cabin that night. The chasm has vanished as well.
