Sinopsis

In Florence Marryat's intriguing novel, "The Blood of the Vampire," readers are drawn into a gripping narrative that masterfully intertwines elements of Gothic horror and psychological exploration. The story revolves around the enigmatic figure of the vampire, a character whose blood is believed to bestow dark powers, symbolizing the fear of the unknown and the anxieties surrounding female empowerment in the late Victorian era. Marryat's prose reflects a keen understanding of the genre's conventions, blending rich descriptive imagery with suspenseful pacing that captivates and horrifies simultaneously, offering a fresh perspective on the vampire mythos that critiques societal norms. Florence Marryat, a prolific writer and suffragist, drew from her own progressive views and experiences as a woman in a male-dominated literary landscape. Her background as a popular novelist and her involvement in the issues of her time, particularly concerning women's rights and identity, fueled her exploration of themes like sexuality, power dynamics, and the supernatural in this work. This ambivalence towards the dual nature of femininity resonates powerfully throughout the narrative, echoing the broader social tensions of the period. "The Blood of the Vampire" is a captivating read that provides not only entertainment but also a deep reflection on societal anxieties regarding womanhood and power. For readers interested in Gothic fiction, feminist literature, or psychological thrillers, Marryat's novel stands as a thought-provoking testament to the complexities of human nature and the supernatural, making it an essential addition to the canon of Victorian literature.

    A captivating collection of ghost stories from "one of the most gifted writers working today" (New York Times), The Night Side of the River is as ingeniously provocative as it is downright spooky. 
     
     
     
    In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village séance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband. Gloriously gothic and unnervingly contemporary, Winterson examines grief, revenge, and the myriad ways in which technology can disrupt the boundary between life and death.

    An epic re-release of an American Gamelit and LitRPG classic. One of the first to delve into darkness. 
    Twenty years into the future, an independent virtual reality developer named Fulton Milner creates a deeply immersive VR program which truly fools the mind. Milner's newest industry shattering creation is a dark fantasy adventure simulator known only as Project DH. With technology that dives so deeply into human dreams, Milner is granted unparalleled access into each tester's mind and perhaps even their very souls. 
    Sam Nagai thought testing videogames would be a dream job until he got saddled with a ton of barely playable mobile games with shoddy gimmicks. Due to poor product and pay, Sam is usually reluctant whenever he gets a call for a new gig, but customers for his art commissions have been scarce and Sam needs all the money he can get. The potential bonus pay for this new gig catches his attention as does the description of the game. Virtual reality, a dark atmosphere and gothic fantasy world, role playing game mechanics, and uber hard difficulty? Sam's all in for that. After all, there's no real any danger, right? 
    Join Sam on a role playing adventure where the main goal is survival at all costs, where power and horror commingle in ways that are equally terrifying and addictive. It's a hair-raising adventure inspired by a dark masterpiece, at least that's what Sam thinks. 
    **Includes a new prologue, additional game lore, new chapters, and updated scenes for better readability and flow. 
    "If you want to dive into the LitRPG genre with something a little dark that clearly has a long-term plan in mind, Hells Glitch: Into a Dark Adventure is a good starting point." - Matt Doyle, author of Addict (The Cassie Tam Files)
