    "My past came with sharp teeth, and I didn't enjoy letting it bite me." 
    Gideon Black has just returned from a grueling visit to the Fae realm with a stronger grip on his abilities, both as a half-Fae and the DeathSpeaker. But none of that prepared him to be kidnapped and dragged into a fight against a god. 
    When the Duchenes's master, an ancient and powerful Other who's taken the name of the voodoo god Papa Legba, summons the family for attempting to defy him, Denei Duchene invokes a promise Gideon made long before he knew that promises could kill the Fae. Now he must travel to New Orleans with the secretive siblings and free them from their bonds—or die trying. 
    But Legba isn't the only danger lurking in the Louisiana swamps. Milus Dei, the cult dedicated to wiping out the Others, has been recruiting a new breed of hunter. The most dangerous, lethal poachers they can find, heavily financed and retrained to target and capture all types of non-humans. 
    And the group currently hunting the bayou is all too familiar to Gideon.

    First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is perhaps the most famous example of the gothic horror novella. Gabriel John Utterson, a sombre London lawyer, becomes concerned for the safety and sanity of his friend and client Dr. Henry Jekyll, after the doctor begins associating with an unseemly young man named Edward Hyde. Following a spate of crimes, including blackmail and murder, and with all fingers pointing at Hyde, the lawyer sets out to free his friend from the dreadful influence of his new acquaintance. Not everything, however, is as it seems.

    Dive into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a masterpiece that seamlessly weaves Gothic horror with the seeds of science fiction. Journey with Victor Frankenstein, a scientist consumed by ambition, who creates a being that defies nature, only to spiral into a nightmare of his own making. This novel is not just a tale of terror but an introspective look at the human condition, exploring themes of guilt, isolation, and the ethical quandaries of scientific advancement. 
    Shelley's novel, enriched by her own life's turmoil and the intellectual ferment of her times, challenges us to ponder the boundaries between creator and creation, responsibility, and regret. Its complex narrative and profound questions resonate as much today as they did in the 19th century, making it a timeless examination of man’s aspirations and the darkness they can unleash. 
    Frankenstein is a journey into the depths of human ambition and the consequences it can birth. This gripping narrative, alongside its enduring questions, proves that true horror lies in the mirror reflection of our collective choices. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of literary history that remains chillingly relevant in today's technological age.
