Beschreibung

In a Glass Darkly, a seminal work by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, presents a collection of interconnected tales that delve into the realms of the supernatural and psychological horror. Written in a Gothic style that captures the eerie and macabre, Le Fanu intertwines intricate character studies with chilling narratives, exploring themes of madness, identity, and the spectral. The text resonates with Victorian anxieties regarding the supernatural, offering a profound reflection on the human condition through a lens of uncanny occurrences and supernatural forces. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, a prolific author of the 19th century, is regarded as a pioneer of ghost stories and supernatural fiction. Born in Dublin in 1814, Le Fanu's Irish heritage and interest in folklore greatly influenced his writing. His diverse career, which included journalism and editorial work, provided him with rich material and insights into human psychology and society. This blend of experience and cultural background enabled him to create stories that delve into both the metaphysical and the deeply personal, establishing him as a key figure in Gothic literature. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in exploring the depths of fear and the unexplained. Le Fanu's masterful prose and ability to evoke atmosphere will intrigue enthusiasts of Gothic fiction and psychological horror alike. Whether you are well-versed in Gothic narratives or new to the genre, In a Glass Darkly promises an immersive journey into the shadows of the human psyche.

    The White House claims credit for capturing the Black Widow and gives SHIELD an ultimatum, which has Aja questioning whose side the President is on. 
    Aja and her SHIELD colleagues successfully captured the Black Widow and her associates on their last mission. However, the White House has forbidden them, along with the CIA and FBI, from any further involvement in investigating, identifying, or prosecuting the multitude of high-speed rail service customers who exploited underage children. 
    The message was loud and clear. Find a new case or SHIELD will be decommissioned and its agents considered as traitors, charged with treason, and imprisoned. So what choice did they have? As SHIELD leadership works to identify their next case, Aja is not feeling as cooperative. But the moment she delves a little too deeply into why the White House is against their involvement, she mysteriously disappears. 
    Has Aja gone rogue and fled to protect her colleagues? Or has the White House caught wind of her actions and locked her away? Or, as the Black Widow predicted, has the President made her disappear in a more permanent manner? 
    Aja Minor: Dirty Politics is the eighth book in the Aja Minor psychic crime thrillers series. Fans of fierce female protagonists with unique powers who overcome adversity will find a home in this series. 
    A portion of the proceeds from this series are donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, established in 1984 to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization.

    An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television series featuring stories by Whitley Strieber, R. L. Stine, Laura Lippman, and others.When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as “science fiction,” the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style. The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television.This anthology is an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and introduced by Carol Serling, it includes brand-new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hamner and Harlan Ellison, all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.
