Sinopsis

In "House of Terror: Henry Kuttner's Horror Boxed Set," readers are introduced to a hauntingly atmospheric collection that encapsulates Kuttner's mastery of macabre storytelling. Spanning multiple tales, this boxed set interweaves elements of psychological horror and science fiction, showcasing Kuttner's unique ability to explore the human psyche under duress. His literary style combines sharp, lyrical prose with an uncanny knack for suspense, inviting readers into eerie realms where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary. Set against the backdrop of mid-20th-century anxieties, Kuttner's works reflect the tumultuous fears of his time, thus situating his narratives within a broader commentary on civilization's fragility. Henry Kuttner, a prominent figure in early American speculative fiction, was greatly influenced by his experiences and the socio-political climate of his era. Known for his collaborative works with his wife, C.L. Moore, Kuttner drew on themes of identity, transformation, and the supernatural, often merging genres to reflect the complexities of human nature. His extensive background in pulp magazines allowed him to develop a distinctive voice that has influenced generations of writers. "House of Terror" is highly recommended for both seasoned horror aficionados and newcomers alike. This curated collection not only showcases Kuttner's significant contributions to the genre but also serves as a compelling exploration of human fears, making it an essential read for those seeking to delve into the darker corners of speculative literature.

    Whispering Willows is a place where wishes come true, but at what cost? 
     
     
     
    I didn't expect to be a widow at forty years old. I didn't expect to be a single mother. I didn't expect to inherit a mountain of debt. And I definitely didn't expect to return to Whispering Willows—or my life as a witch. 
     
     
     
    But here I am: I've reopened my mother's wish shop, started granting wishes, and am teaching my daughter magic. 
     
     
     
    Life is perfect . . . Almost. 
     
     
     
    There's my ex, who's aged unfairly well and who also happens to be my daughter's teacher. My high school BFF, who has turned into a major bully. And then there's the golden lamp. 
     
     
     
    After I find it in the basement, strange things start happening: the random rain showers in my shop, the ruined wishes, the seagull who can suddenly sing (off-key) showtunes. Just when I think it can't get any weirder, I throw the lamp in the ocean, and it appears back in my shop the next day. 
     
     
     
    Something is trying to escape that lamp, and if I don't figure out what, our new beginning might be over before it's even started.

    Inspired by a true story! All beauty must die.... With her blankly staring eyes seeming to gaze into the sky, he put a red rose between her teeth and then gently pushed her into the water. She silently sank into the slow, flowing river. She was called the Wild Rose. Emma Frost is on a relaxing and romantic vacation in the small town of Enniskerry in Ireland with her boyfriend Morten, when they find a dead woman in the river. The small town of Enniskerry is shocked by this murder, but also by the secrets it threatens to expose. When another woman is found dead in the river with a rose between her teeth, Emma is plunged into a frantic chase for this serial killer, while she and Morten attempt to solve the mysterious riddles of this town’s painful past. The Wild Rose is an old Irish tale of a man courting a woman and killing her while they are out together. No one ever found her body, and as the years passed, her real name could not be remembered, so she was called The Wild Rose. It is what inspired the song by Nick Cave and now also a serial killer in Enniskerry, Ireland. Where the Wild Roses Grow is a pulse-racing mystery laced with terrifying nail-biting tension impossible to stop listening to! If you like a story with nerve-wracking suspense, and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love the Queen of Scream Willow Rose’s, breathtaking stand-alone novel.
