Sinopsis

In "Annihilation", Isabel Ostrander explores the intricate interplay of human emotion amidst the backdrop of existential terror. The narrative employs lush prose and evocative imagery, characterized by Ostrander's signature blend of psychological insight and suspenseful storytelling. Set against the tensions of post-World War I America, the novel delves into themes of isolation, trauma, and the struggle for identity in an increasingly fragmented world. The interplay of existential dread and the quest for personal redemption creates an atmosphere resonant with both fear and hope, reflecting the literary currents of the early 20th century. Isabel Ostrander, a prominent American author of the early 1900s, was shaped by the tumultuous societal changes of her time. Her experiences as a war correspondent and her engagement with contemporary issues of gender and psychopathy inform her compelling characterizations and narrative choices. Ostrander deftly weaves her observations into her fiction, crafting a poignant commentary on the psychological scars left by conflict and societal upheaval, thus illustrating the inner lives of her characters with poignant realism. Annihilation is a must-read for those interested in the psychological complexities of human nature and the impact of historical events on our collective psyche. Ostrander's masterful storytelling and intricate character development invite readers to reflect on their own experiences of loss and resilience, making this novel a profound exploration of the human condition.

    The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
    These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old. 
    It is exam time for Megan, our psychic teenager, and she is very nervous, because she has never sat a real exam before. Both Grrr, her ghost tiger, and her father try to calm her, but she is making herself ill with worry. 
    How ever will she get over this? 
    Eventually, her father tells her a story about a family trait, and Megan relaxes enough to sit her exams.

    When Christa joins a tour group heading deep into the snowy expanse of the Rocky Mountains, she's hopeful this will be her chance to put the ghosts of her past to rest. But when a bitterly cold snowstorm sweeps the region, the small group is forced to take shelter in an abandoned hunting cabin. Despite the uncomfortably claustrophobic quarters and rapidly dropping temperature, Christa believes they'll be safe as they wait out the storm. 
    She couldn't be more wrong. 
    Deep in the night, their tour guide goes missing...only to be discovered the following morning, his severed head impaled on a tree outside the cabin. Terrified, and completely isolated by the storm, Christa finds herself trapped with eight total strangers. One of them kills for sport...and they're far from finished. As the storm grows more dangerous and the number of survivors dwindles one by one, Christa must decide who she can trust before this frozen mountain becomes her tomb.

    How would you live your life differently, if you had a second chance? 
    Emily, Carl and Jules have all ‘gone before their time’. After dying on the same day in Halifax, West Yorkshire, they each wake up in a room in a hotel on the outskirts of town. They’re instructed to meet in the basement headquarters of film production company ‘End Credits’, where no-nonsense producer Suzi tells them their lives have been secretly filmed and they must edit their own biopic before they are able to move on. 
    There are only three rules: they can’t prevent their own deaths or anyone else’s, they can't kill anyone but they can make a director's cut - one change which will alter everything that comes after. 
    With the chance to undo their regrets and explore life’s infinite possibilities, what will they choose?
