Sinopse

Based on the translation by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos. With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies.
 
 
‘… the shadow turned round; and I saw a terrible death’s-head, which darted a look at me from a pair of scorching eyes. I felt as if I were face to face with Satan…’
 
 
Erik, the Phantom of the Paris Opera House, is one of the great icons of horror literature. This tormented and disfigured creature has made his home in the labyrinthine cellars of this opulent building where he can indulge in his great passion for music, which is a substitute for the love and emotion denied him because of his ghastly appearance.
 
 
It is in the Opera House that he encounters Christine Daaé whom he trains in secret to become a great singer. Erik’s passionate obsession with a beautiful woman beyond his reach is doomed and leads to the dramatic tragic finale.
 
 
Gaston Leroux’s novel is a marvellous blend of detective story, romance and spine-tingling terror which has fascinated readers ever since the work was first published.

The story follows a confident young man determined to debunk the myths surrounding a reportedly haunted room in Lorraine Castle. Armed with only candles, he enters the red room, convinced that fear is purely psychological. However, as darkness encroaches and his candles begin to extinguish one by one, his skepticism wanes, giving way to an enveloping terror. Wells masterfully explores the shadows that dwell in the corners of the human mind, revealing that sometimes, the greatest fear is fear itself.

To help a child’s ghost solve the mystery of her death, a cemetery restorer must face her own personal demons in this romantic urban fantasy. 
 
My name is Amelia Gray, and I’m a cemetery restorer who lives with the dead. An anonymous donor has hired me to restore Woodbine Cemetery, a place where the rich and powerful bury their secrets. Forty years ago, a child disappeared without a trace and now her ghost has awakened, demanding that I uncover the truth about her death. Only I know that she was murdered. Only I can bring her killer to justice. But the clues that I follow—a haunting melody and an unnamed baby’s grave—lead me to a series of disturbing suspects. 
 
For generations, The Devlins have been members of Charleston’s elite. John Devlin once turned his back on the expectations that came with his birthright, but now he has seemingly accepted his rightful place. His family’s secrets make him a questionable ally. When my investigation brings me to the gates of his family’s palatial home, I have to wonder if he is about to become my mortal enemy.
