Antidote Illusions - A Tristan Grieves Fragment

Erik Hofstatter

Beschreibung

Liene, the girl with hair colour of angry Etna. Somewhere between 800 and 1000 Celsius. And a much hotter temperament—is gone.
 
Tristan Grieves. The enigma peeler and ferryman on watered time is moving oars through rough months.
 
Boomerang throws TG into an ex-serotonin chaser’s house that smells like stolen passports. A flesh horizon where knives sail into. A nicotine party for a ghost exit, where a she-golem built from old betrayals waits. But what do you do when even the sun don’t want you?
 
“Hofstatter has a unique knack for reading the urban; peeling back the skin of the city, creating new myths for strange times. Sketching silk-smooth noir in full colour, these stories are sharp teeth beneath velvet. A vivid talent.” - Laura Mauro, Author of Sing Your Sadness Deep

Three Gothic Novels -...

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley,...

Three Gothic Novels is a compelling collection that brings together three quintessential works of Gothic literature: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Each novel delves into the macabre and the supernatural, exploring themes of fear, horror, and the unknown, while also probing deeper questions about humanity, morality, and the boundaries of science and nature.
In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley tells the haunting tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who defies natural laws to create life, only to be horrified by the monstrous being he brings into existence. This groundbreaking novel is not just a horror story but also a profound exploration of ambition, responsibility, and the ethical limits of scientific exploration. Shelley's intricate narrative raises enduring questions about creation, isolation, and the human condition.
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla introduces readers to one of literature's first female vampires. Set in a remote Austrian estate, the novella follows the mysterious and alluring Carmilla as she ingratiates herself into the lives of the residents, particularly the young and innocent Laura. Through its atmospheric storytelling and psychological complexity, Carmilla explores themes of predation, sexuality, and the supernatural, laying the groundwork for many modern vampire tales.
Bram Stoker's Dracula is perhaps the most iconic vampire story ever written. The novel chronicles the efforts of Count Dracula to move from Transylvania to England, where he seeks to spread the undead curse. Through the diaries and letters of characters like Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray, and Dr. Van Helsing, Stoker weaves a gripping narrative of suspense, horror, and the battle between good and evil. Dracula is a richly layered novel that delves into Victorian anxieties about sexuality, immigration, and the limits of modernity.
Together, these three novels represent the pinnacle of Gothic fiction, each contributing to the genre's development and enduring popularity. Three Gothic Novels is an essential collection for anyone interested in the roots of horror and the exploration of the dark and mysterious aspects of the human psyche.
