Sinopse

The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a short novel by H. P. Lovecraft. The novel tells the story of young Charles Dexter Ward, who becomes embroiled in the past, due to his fascination with the history of his wizard ancestor, Joseph Curwen (who had left Salem for Providence in 1692, and acquired notoriety for his haunting of graveyards, his apparent lack of aging, and his chemical experiments). Ward physically resembles Curwen, and attempts to duplicate his ancestor's Qabalistic and alchemical feats, eventually locating Curwen's remains and by means of his "essential Saltes", resurrecting him. Ward's doctor, Marinus Bicknell Willett, becomes enmeshed in Ward's doings, investigating Curwen's old Pawtuxet bungalow which Ward has restored. The horrors of what Willett finds, and the crux of the identities of Ward and Curwen, form the hinge of horror on which the novel moves.

Christmas Eve 1975, two innocent handy men are summoned to Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island, New York, faced with the seemingly innocuous task of fixing a boathouse door. There is no way that Owen Blake and Randy Hallowell can possibly know that an ancient malevolence awaits them; a preternatural entity older than time, bent on the destruction of all living things; that the owners of this house, and others on this now infamous avenue, have stepped into an inescapable nightmare and will soon be thrown into their own macabre dance with death.  
In the next few hours Owen and Randy will encounter the living dead, be assailed by ungodly, gross abominations of nature, and eventually come face to face with the Amityville Horror, unleashing a rampage of unfathomable events, demonic spirits and a force of darkness beyond all comprehension -- a savagery attempting to literally tear them apart, limb by limb, and rip the very life force from their torn and wounded bodies.  
If they survive, it will change their lives forever.

Far from its popular image, the story of Frankenstein as told by Mary Shelley is not a tale that finds horror in a hideous "monster" or a "crazed" scientist. The darkness in the narrative is found in the profound loneliness of both Creator and Created as they seek one another in a tragic cycle of unfulfilled longing and revenge. 
This powerful novel, first published in 1818, still surprises and shocks us with the fundamental questions about the moral boundaries of human discovery and helps us to question what it means to be human.
