Sinopse

Delving into the eerie and the uncanny, "60 Supernatural Tales of Horror" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu presents a rich tapestry of Gothic fiction that intertwines the supernatural with the psychological. Encompassing a selection of his most notable works'Äîincluding the groundbreaking novella "Carmilla," which precedes and influences the modern vampire mythos'Äîthis anthology showcases Le Fanu's masterful command of atmosphere and tension. His literary style is marked by elaborate descriptions, immersive settings, and deeply developed characters, allowing readers to experience the chilling essence of the supernatural within the confines of Victorian society. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) has earned his place among the luminaries of horror fiction. A Dublin-born author raised in a culture steeped in folklore and superstition, his works often reflect the tensions of a transforming society grappling with Enlightenment ideals and traditional beliefs. Influenced by his own experiences and literary predecessors, Le Fanu adeptly navigates themes of hauntings, madness, and moral ambiguity, offering profound insights into the human psyche and the spectral world beyond. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of Gothic literature and horror, as it not only provides a historical context for the genre but also exemplifies the intricate interplay between fear and fascination. Whether you are a seasoned reader of ghost stories or a newcomer intrigued by the supernatural, Le Fanu'Äôs chilling tales will linger long after the final page, beckoning you into the shadowy realms of his imagination.

    Some dares are deadly. 
     Some houses never forget. 
    High on a lonely hill, a crumbling mansion waits. Haunted Hill House has watched for generations—its windows glowing like eyes, its doors scarred with claw marks, its halls frozen at three fifteen in the morning. The locals whisper the same warning: The house remembers. 
    Five friends thought it was just a legend. Arjun, reckless and fearless. Meera, the storyteller chasing myths. Kabir, the skeptic who laughs at fear. Sanya, who follows loyalty into danger. And Ravi, the dreamer with his ever-ready camera. Together, they make a single mistake: they accept the dare to spend one night inside. 
    But once the door slams shut, the night does not end. 
     Time fractures. 
     The walls whisper their names. 
     And one by one, the house begins to claim them. 
    Terrifying, atmospheric, and impossible to put down, Haunting Nights of Haunted Hill House is Rowan Graves’ chilling masterpiece of supernatural horror. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, and haunted house tales that leave you sleeping with the lights on. 
    Step inside if you dare. But remember—Haunted Hill House does not simply haunt. It hungers. And once it remembers you… it will never let you go.

    Sometimes you can't go home, and that would've been just fine by me. 
     
     
     
    I'm Hazel Kinsey, a special agent for the FBI, and I'm also a witch. Seventeen years earlier, I packed up my belongings and my squirrel familiar Tizzy, and I left my paranormal hometown of Paradise Falls for good. Or so I thought. 
     
     
     
    When my best friend from high school, Lily Mason, calls and asks me to investigate her brother's murder, I can't say no. She was there for me during the worst time of my life, and it's my turn to return the favor, no matter the personal cost. 
     
     
     
    Going home is harder than I imagined. My grumpy, hot high school crush, a bear shifter named Ford Baylor, has become a grumpy, hot police officer who's not happy to see me. Unfortunately, I can't stop thinking about him. All these years away, I imagined him married to his bear shifter sweetheart and living the white-picket-fence dream. But Ford is single, and he looks ready to strangle me. Apparently, I'm his mate. Who knew? 
     
     
     
    On top of that, there's a sinister force at work in Paradise Falls, and I have to solve the mysterious murders happening around town if I want to prevent my best friend from becoming the next victim.
