Sinopsis

In "House of Terror: Henry Kuttner's Horror Boxed Set," readers are plunged into a chilling anthology that showcases Kuttner's mastery of the horror genre. With a signature style that blends stark realism with surreal terror, Kuttner weaves narratives that unearth the darkest corners of human psyche and society. The stories transported between the pages pulsate with a palpable tension, characterized by Kuttner's deft prose and vivid imagery, inviting readers to confront existential fears through a variety of haunted settings and grotesque figures. This collection not only highlights Kuttner's inventive plots but also contextualizes his work within the broader tapestry of mid-20th century horror literature, illuminating the influences and innovations that shaped the genre. Henry Kuttner, an influential figure in American speculative fiction, gained prominence in the 1940s and 1950s, often collaborating with his wife, C.L. Moore. His diverse experiences, from World War II to his fascination with the supernatural and the bizarre, informed his writing, allowing him to explore themes of fear and humanity. Kuttner's ability to traverse genres—from science fiction to fantasy—exemplifies his versatility, but it is within horror that his sharpest commentary on the human experience emerges. "House of Terror" is a must-read for enthusiasts of horror and speculative fiction alike. Kuttner's work not only captivates through its thrilling narratives but also elicits profound reflections on fear, morality, and the unknown. This boxed set is essential for comprehending the evolution of horror literature and experiencing the timeless dread that Kuttner evokes, making it an indispensable addition to any literary collection.

    The intervention of a quadriplegic saved Nguyen Huu Minh from a mugging on the streets of Baltimore while attending Johns Hopkins University. That man’s faith 
    changed Minh’s life. 
    Minh’s new faith brings him into conflict with his father’s business interests in Vietnam and the mysterious powers supporting his father. Estranged from his father 
    and shunned by his family, Minh learns to support himself by working as a translator for Americans coming to Vietnam during the waning years of the war. 
    Finally, with the fall of Vietnam, another man’s intervention provides Minh with what he needs to flee the doomed country. With a boat, a crew, and a group of passengers, including a young French nun, Sister Carlene, and the thirty-five orphans she has charge of, Minh starts his escape to Thailand. 
    But Minh learns that there are some enemies that cannot be fled from; instead, these adversaries must be faced and resisted. He discovers that he is in the middle of a war, not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual powers bent on destroying him and all those seeking escape. 
    Minh discovers what intervention is when he must risk everything to save those he loves. In the process, he experiences the reality of the spiritual war that rages unseen by most. 
    Charles de Andrade’s books draw on places he has lived, people he’s met, friends he’s made, and stories he’s been told.

    “Wickedly funny, deviously twisted and enormously satisfying. This is a big juicy bite of zombie goodness. Two decaying thumbs up.”—Jonathan Maberry 
    To be dead, or not to be dead… 
    In the Unnatural Quarter, golems slave away in sweatshops, necromancers sell black-market trinkets to tourists, and the dead rise up—to work the night shift. But zombie detective Dan Shamble is no ordinary working stiff. 
    When a local senator and his goons picket a ghostly production of Shakespeare in the Dark—condemning the troupe’s “unnatural” lifestyles—Dan smells something rotten. And if something smells rotten to a zombie, you’re in serious trouble…. 
    Before his way of life, er, death is destroyed, Dan wants answers. Along the way, he needs to provide security for a mummified madame, defend a mixed-race couple (he’s a vampire, she’s a werewolf) from housing discrimination, and save his favorite watering hole, the Goblin Tavern, from drying up. Throw in a hairy hit-man and a bank robber who walks through walls, and Dan Shamble’s plate is full. 
    Maybe this time the zombie detective has bitten off more than he can chew… 
    “A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale.”—Kelley Armstrong 
    “Sharp and funny; this zombie detective rocks! Loved it!”—Patricia Briggs 
    “An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained.”—Charlaine Harris

    Book 19: Psychic VisionsRemember...The haunting refrain torments Bethany, almost as much as the horrors of what she’s forgotten. Chased, terrified, and injured, she races away from a gunman into the woods, determined to once again escape those after her. Hunter’s first meeting with Bethany reveals an injured, exhausted, and possibly dangerous psychic. Plus she was uncooperative, barely civil, keeping everyone at arm’s length. Only she needs help, and he is the one available. Time for the hunted to turn hunter, and that is his domain. Especially if he gets to champion the underdog, which, in this case, is a prickly and way-too-beautiful woman, whom he doesn’t want to let out of his sight. Not only is she being tracked but they want her back as a captive. A captive to do their bidding. And they’ve enlisted another of their group, her ex-best friend Lizzy, to hunt down Bethany. They want, no need, her to remember who she really is. With Hunter at her side, Bethany fights for survival, racing toward an explosive reveal that leaves them all gasping, as their world turns upside down.

There, at the end of the escalator,which took him deep, deep down into the earth, and easily missed between fadedbillboards, was a small iron door. Behind it the Kranzedan heard a tiny voice calling tohim: »Come in, come in, come in …«He opened the door, and squeezed through, and he has not been seen since …"33 bizarre stories in which the author makes his main character disappear again andagain as if by a magic trick, only for him to reappear unexpectedly in the next story. Partlychildishly perfidious, partly unrestrainedly evil, the short stories drag us into thepicturesque madness of the horror paintings created by Michael Hutter.
