    "The Nameless City" is a horror story written by American writer H. P. Lovecraft in January 1921 and first published in the November 1921 issue of the amateur press journal The Wolverine. It is often considered the first Cthulhu Mythos story. The Nameless City of the story's title is an ancient ruin located somewhere in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, and is older than any human civilization. In ancient times, the Nameless City was built and inhabited by an unnamed race of reptiles with a body shaped like a cross between a crocodile and a seal with a strange head common to neither, involving a protruding forehead, horns, lack of a nose, and an alligator-like jaw. These beings moved by crawling; thus, the architecture of the city has very low ceilings and some places are too low for a human being to stand upright. Their city was originally coastal, but, when the seas receded, it was left in the depths of a desert. This resulted in the decline and eventual ruin of the city.

    The Hypnotist and the Cursed Shadow 
    A chilling psychological thriller that will haunt you long after the final page. 
    They thought the nightmare was over. They were wrong. 
    When FBI agent Elliot Graves closes the case of the infamous Hypnotist—a mysterious manipulator believed to be behind a series of horrific crimes across continents—he believes justice has finally been served. But when a new wave of deaths emerges, each more twisted and unexplainable than the last, Graves is forced to confront an impossible truth: the Hypnotist never left. 
    Across countries and cultures, victims are found with the same eerie clues—blank stares, haunting smiles, and one cryptic symbol that ties them all together. As Graves and brilliant profiler Sophy Collins dig deeper, they uncover a sinister force more intelligent, more patient, and more dangerous than anything they’ve faced before. 
    With whispers of mind control, cult-like programming, and a haunting melody that triggers unspeakable acts, The Hypnotist and the Cursed Shadow is a pulse-pounding journey into the darkest corners of human psychology. 
    Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Alex Michaelides, and John Marrs, this gripping thriller will keep you turning pages late into the night. 
    Can you trust your mind… if someone else is holding the strings?

    The Oval Portrait by Edgar Allan Poe is a haunting work of gothic fiction that explores the intersection of art, obsession, and mortality. First published in 1842 in Godey’s Lady’s Book, the story follows a weary traveler who discovers a mysterious, exquisitely detailed portrait of a young woman in a dark, abandoned chateau. 
    As he studies the painting, he learns the tragic story behind it: the artist’s obsessive devotion to capturing his wife’s likeness ultimately leads to her death. Poe’s tale is a chilling meditation on the cost of artistic obsession, the fragility of life, and the tension between beauty and reality.
