AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS (The Lost World Classic) - Occult & Supernatural Novel

H.P. Lovecraft

Beschreibung

In 'At the Mountains of Madness,' H. P. Lovecraft explores the eerie and unsettling landscapes of Antarctica through a chilling tale of an ill-fated expedition. The novella masterfully intertwines cosmic horror with scientific exploration, employing a rich, atmospheric prose style that evokes both awe and dread. Lovecraft's signature blend of archaic language and meticulous description immerses readers in a world where the boundaries of human understanding collapse, revealing ancient, alien truths that threaten sanity. The work is deeply rooted within the context of early 20th-century concerns about humanity's insignificance in the universe, reflecting Lovecraft's philosophical preoccupations with the unknown. H. P. Lovecraft, though initially unappreciated during his lifetime, emerged as one of the most influential figures in the genre of weird fiction. His own fascination with ancient mythology and the cosmic sublime inspired him to create narratives that challenge human perception of reality. Experiencing disdain from a world that often overlooked his genius, Lovecraft's personal struggles shaped his stark vision of existential dread and the insignificance of humanity within the grand tapestry of the cosmos. This novella is a must-read for fans of horror and science fiction alike, as it intricately blends adventure with existential terror, probing the limits of human knowledge and the nature of fear. 'At the Mountains of Madness' not only captivates with its chilling revelations but also invites readers to ponder their place in an indifferent universe, making it an essential classic for any literary collection.

Body of Water

Adam Godfrey

For fans of Stephen King's The Mist and the HBO hit show The Last of Us comes a wildly inventive, sinister thriller following an estranged father and daughter who find themselves trapped in a diner by a living body of water. 
  
Don't let the water drag you down … 
  
It's been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, Lauren, he decides to take her on a road trip through the Appalachian mountains, where he has fond memories of their past as a family. But what was supposed to be a quick diner pit stop suddenly transforms into a nightmare when armed men stumble in, ranting about a mysterious and deadly "living water" that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin seems to be the rantings of drunken lunatics, but soon Glen, his daughter, and the other diners find themselves hostages to both the gunmen and the inexplicably terrifying entity.  
  
Because there's truly something wrong with the water, and it has no mercy. 
  
Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying being that seeks only to swallow everything in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape, and ultimately, Glen will have to face his worst fears to reconcile with the past or risk losing everything. 
  
A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.

Dream Walker - Episode 1 of the...

Shannan Sinclair

Dream Walker is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that explores the power and possibilities of our limitless human consciousness within the trappings of a conspiracy thriller. For readers who loved Fringe, The OA, or movies such as Dr. Strange, Source Code, Inception, and the The Adjustment Bureau.
Do dreams really come true? Much to Aislen Walker’s dismay, they do.
Like most young women, she only wants a normal life—to finish school, become a nurse, maybe even travel the world someday. But one night she has a terrible nightmare and watches helplessly as a young boy executes a man in cold blood.
What she wants to believe is only a bad dream turns out to be an actual murder! Is this all for real? Is she just going crazy? Or is she, as her dead-beat dad tries to tell her, a “walker,” one with a special talent for crossing into different dimensions?
If she believes him, she stumbled into The Stratum, a dimension run by powerful organization that manipulates and controls the real-world through it. And they really don’t like strangers wandering in, fouling up their plans or exposing their nefarious deeds.
In the first episode of the Walker Saga, Aislen must decide what is true and what’s a lie, who she can trust and who she can’t and discover who and what she really is, in a reality where nothing and nobody is what they seem.
This. Is. Not. A. Dream.

“It is a whirlwind of a story line with little lull time.” –Michele Tater, Review the Book

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our world needs help. Our world needs hope. This amazing series of three books offer that hope. Read them, you won't regret it. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very interesting book especially for the times we live in. The story line would have been easier to follow if I had read book 2, but it does explain enough to catch up. Life lessons taught - trust must be stronger than fear; love more important than hate; gratitude more than greed. With these there is HOPE.

Only when all the members of the Ring have passed a test can they return to Earth with the knowledge and awareness that is crucial to the future of mankind. 
Gabriel's condition worsens, and the Ring cannot be assembled without him. 
Time is running out, and the question is, will Eva be ready on time? 
Will she be able to let go of control and surrender to her vulnerability and her heart?
