  The Willows is one of Algernon Blackwood's best known creepy stories. American horror author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature. He wrote in his treatise "Supernatural Horror in Literature", "Here art and restraint in narrative reach their very highest development, and an impression of lasting poignancy is produced without a single strained passage or a single false note."  "The Willows" is an example of early modern horror and is connected within the literary tradition of weird fiction.

  Hetta Coffey, a globe-trotting engineer with attitude, a penchant for trouble, and a yacht, is back, and this time she is steering us into hot Mexican waters. Miffed that vacation plans with her chronically absent boyfriend Jenks Jenkins have gone awry, she accepts a job in Baja. So what if she and her friend Jan are spectacularly unqualified to take her yacht on a thousand mile cruise in the eastern Pacific Ocean in the middle of hurricane season? Hiring a handsome, if somewhat fishy captain for the trip might keep them off the rocks, but probably won t do the same for her future with Jenks. Meanwhile, a little eye candy on board can t be all bad. Hetta’s unmanageable independence impels her to tackle the very profitable, if environmentally and politically incorrect project south of the border. True to form, her irreverent nature and disregard for danger soon swamps her in a sea of inconvenient bodies, illegal aliens, a pesky whale, and a menacing Mexican machinator. And without her usual arsenal of firepower. Set sale for Baja Mexico s Magdalena Bay as Hetta Coffey leads us once more into a morass of intrigue that will keep you laughing, breathless, and wanting more. To quote Lord Byron, Hetta would much rather sink beneath the shock than moulder piecemeal on the rock.

  Questo romanzo noir, da cui è stato tratto il famosissimo film muto di Alfred Hitchcock, fu pubblicato nel 1911 in versione breve, e nel 1013 come romanzo. La storia è basata sui delitti di Londra del 1888 di Jack lo squartatore, ed è la prima drammatizzazione nota di quelle vicende.  Il romanzo è stato considerato un esempio di come scrivere un thriller psicologico basandosi sugli effetti del serial killer sui suoi padroni di casa, invece che sugli omicidi stessi. L'effetto è decisamente interessante,  e questo viene considerato il romanzo più famoso della scrittrice di mistery Marie Adelaide Belloc Lowndes. Cornice musicale: Daisy's theme, del film The Lodger.

It happens, someone says, he isn't the first to die on the streets and he won't be the last, but the story the new team begins to uncover is far from routine.  New characters appear and new relationships form as the pressure grows on Detective Chief Inspector Cara Freeman to deliver a result and show that Kings Lake's first specialist team is worth the money. Detective Sergeant Christopher Waters discovers links to a previous investigation, learns that there is more than one way to run a successful squad and finds flower-arranging more interesting than he would ever have imagined.
