Sinopsis

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer, poet, literary critic and essayist, recognized as one of the greatest writers of horror literature together with Edgar Allan Poe and considered by many to be one of the precursors of Anglo-American science fiction. His works, a contamination between horror, soft science fiction, dark fantasy and low fantasy, have often been described, even by himself, with the term weird fiction (where weird stands for "strange"), being recognized among the main origins of the modern literary genre of the new weird.Lovecraft's science fiction/horror story The Colour Out of Space was written in 1927 and published in the American science fiction magazine Amazing Stories. In the tale, an unnamed narrator pieces together the story of an area known by the locals as the "blasted heath" in the hills west of the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts. The narrator discovers that many years ago a meteorite crashed there, poisoning every living being nearby: vegetation grows large but foul-tasting, animals are driven mad and deformed into grotesque shapes, and the people go insane or die one by one.

    Step into the quiet English countryside, where serenity hides shadows, and ancient grounds guard forgotten secrets. In M. R. James's chilling tale The Rose Garden, a simple act—planting roses on a peaceful estate—unearths more than just soil. Whispers in the wind, a cursed corner of land, and a long-buried injustice begin to stir.

The Rose Garden lures listeners into a world where the past never truly rests—and where even the most beautiful places may conceal the most disturbing truths.

    Graveyard The - A Short Story...

    At the end of our days we will most likely lie for eternity in the cemetery or graveyard.  Many of these, now wreathed in time, have a romance and overgrown beauty as nature keeps and shelters the dead.  These acres may be the final resting place for those who have passed but for those who visit peace may not be as easy to find.  Grief may still pull at the heart, memories continue to overwhelm, or, even those drawn simply by its history, may encounter different feelings or experiences once inside these cities of the dead.  
     
    For our varied and talented authors, a major theme, or indeed character of the stories in this volume is that very location, and how they weave it into their narratives is both fascinating, enlightening and a wonderfully distinct way of telling classic short stories.
