Sinopse

The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Samsa's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka never did give an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repulsed by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.

    There is something about the number 3.  
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Experience the horror. Survive the madness. Join The Last Wardens. 
    Bleakwood, Oregon—once a sleepy, forgotten town—has become ground zero for an unspeakable horror. When Danielle Pryer’s long-lost brother, Bruce, returns from the Vietnam War carrying a monstrous mutation, reality itself begins to unravel. Vines turn to veins, brick to bone, and the laws of physics become mere suggestions. But Bleakwood’s nightmare is just beginning. 
    Enter The Last Wardens—a ragtag band of dysfunctional misfits, bound not by duty, but by desperation. Led by the enigmatic and unpredictable Riddle (Felicia Day), this team of barely-held-together creatures, survivors, and cynics are humanity’s last defense against a cosmic force older than time itself. From flesh-warping dimensional rifts to grotesque mutations lurking in the dark, they’re the only thing standing between Earth and annihilation. 
    Danny (Anjali Bhimani), a resourceful sharpshooter with nothing left to lose, is thrust into the chaos, forced to navigate the dangerous world of the Wardens, where trust is a luxury and survival is an art form. Alongside the volatile, tentacle-wielding Worm (Mark Meer), the shadow-wracked Cyra (Shiva Negar), and the stone-skinned behemoth Bricks, Danny must uncover the dark secrets behind her brother’s transformation—before it's too late.

    The mission: kill demons. The catch: infuriatingly sexy minder. The challenge: don't get the two confused. 
    Nava Katz is an expert at burying her lost dreams and wielding cynicism as her personal brand. Then she interrupts her twin brother's induction ceremony into a secret supernatural society, accidentally torches his life-long dream, and steals his destiny as a Chosen Demon Hunter. 
    Suddenly she’s got dangerous new powers she can’t control, a centuries-old Brotherhood rooting for her to crash and burn, and her twin’s life hanging in the balance. Her designated shadow? Rohan Mitra, a brilliant, dangerous slayer whose inner demons earn nods of respect from actual ones. 
    With demons on her tail, sabotage at every turn, and her own doubts trying to take the wheel, survival is only half the battle. The real challenge is believing she’s worthy of this power—and a second chance. 
    The Brotherhood wants her gone. The demons want her dead. First day as a Chosen One and she's already nailing it. 
    Ready for snark, steam, and supernatural smackdowns? Nava’s your girl.

    In the heart of an Atlantic superstorm, the Tahila fights to stay afloat. 
    Amid the chaos, the ship’s collision-avoidance system blares a warning. Radar shows no ship. No signal. No lights. Just a strange silhouette beneath the waves. A searchlight is focussed into the raging sea and the crew spot something impossible: the slanted roof of a house with glass windows and solid walls… adrift in the open ocean more than a thousand miles from land. 
    Lightning flashes – and behind one of the windows, a woman is staring out, her eyes wide with a silent plea. 
    Braving the storm, Sam Reilly dives beneath the surface and emerges inside the structure to rescue her. The woman greets him with an enigmatic familiarity and a secret that will challenge everything he thought he knew about his past…
