Sinopse

In "60 Supernatural Tales of Horror," Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu compiles a remarkable anthology that encapsulates the gothic horror genre prevalent in the Victorian era. His narratives explore themes of the supernatural, drawing on folklore, ghostly encounters, and psychological terror, while employing a rich and atmospheric prose that evokes a hauntingly vivid setting. The collection reflects Le Fanu's mastery in creating suspense, often delving into the realms of the uncanny, where everyday reality collides with the inexplicable. Each tale is meticulously crafted to immerse the reader in a world that challenges the boundaries of reason, making it a quintessential text for those interested in 19th-century horror literature. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, an Irish author active in the 19th century, is notably recognized as a pioneer of ghost stories and supernatural fiction. His own experiences with the haunting history of Ireland, as well as his scholarly curiosity in folklore, undoubtedly influenced his fascination with the macabre. Le Fanu's works, including his celebrated novella "Carmilla," highlight his innovative storytelling and rich imagination, allowing him to not only reflect societal fears but also to question deeper existential dilemmas within the framework of horror. This anthology is essential for both aficionados of gothic fiction and those new to the genre, offering crucial insights into the evolution of horror literature. Le Fanu's unique ability to blend the supernatural with human psychology serves to not only frighten but also to provoke thought, making "60 Supernatural Tales of Horror" a timeless exploration of humanity's darkest fears. Engaging and eerie, this collection invites readers to traverse the thin line between reality and the inexplicable.

    Astonishing prophecies of the saints about The Warning, Three Days of Darkness, and more come to life in a supernatural thriller. 
    Eighteen months ago, the Earth survived a comet strike. Famine, economic depression, and soaring crime rates rode in on its tail. While the government scrambles for solutions, Gina Applegate vlogs about college life and current events. God doesn't figure large in her life. Nonetheless, Gina thinks she's a pretty good person until a mystical event called The Warning gives her a glimpse of hell, shaking her fragile faith. As the world slips deeper into darkness, the gulf between the godly and the godless widens, leaving no middle ground. Everyone must choose a side. 
    Before the comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scourged by want and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent will be devastated by earthquake, storm, and tidal wave. It will be divided and, in great part, submerged . . . For in none of those cities does a person live according to the Laws of God. A powerful wind will rise in the North, carrying heavy fog and the densest dust, and it will fill their throats and eyes so that they will cease their butchery and be stricken with a great fear. ~Saint Hildegard (12th Century) 
    The actual prophecies upon which this novel is based are included at the end. 
    CONTENT WARNING: Comet Dust springs from a Catholic worldview. However, the story is set in a secular world in a rapid decline. Expect some strong language, sexual situations, and violence.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald created the novella "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" as a short story, originally published in Collier's magazine in 1922.  It tells the tale of Benjamin, son of Roger Button, who was born as an old man and who, over the course of his life, miraculously ages backwards. Beginning life as an octogenarian in his crib, Benjamin grows "older" while his body, conversely, appears younger and younger with each passing birthday. The story takes us through Benjamin's entire life; his difficult adolescence, his marriage, life as a soldier and father and, ultimately, his inevitable descent into infanthood.  At once hilarious, frightening and satiric, Fitzgerald's wonderful story has been adapted for both the stage and screen and is presented here in its original, unabridged format.

    Nashville is falling. 
     
     
     
    Herds are forming. 
     
     
     
    Humanity is facing extinction. 
     
     
     
    They might be the last chance at salvation the city has left. 
     
     
     
    Kate, Storm, and the rest of the Special Forces detachment head to Nashville to bolster the city's final defense, but when they arrive they find that things haven't gone according to plan. They are in a desperate race against the ravages of radiation, the new mutations that seem hellbent on killing them all, and even some of the people in their own group. 
     
     
     
    From the horrors of Nashville to the questionable safety of Fort Carson, Colorado, they will do whatever it takes to survive, find their friends, and search out answers about the deadly government conspiracy that threatens them all. 
     
     
     
    What they don’t know is that they've only just begun, and the threats they've faced so far pale in comparison to what looms on the western horizon.
