Sinopse

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's 'Madam Crowl's Ghost and the Dead Sexton' is a collection of two chilling ghost stories that capture the essence of gothic literature in the 19th century. With his intricate plotting and meticulous attention to detail, Le Fanu creates an atmosphere of suspense and mystery that keeps the reader on edge until the very last page. The stories are rich in supernatural elements, exploring the themes of the afterlife and the unknown. Le Fanu's writing style is characterized by its elegant prose and psychological insight, making the reader question reality and the limits of human understanding. As a prominent writer of gothic fiction, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was known for his unique ability to evoke a sense of unease and dread in his readers. Drawing on his Irish heritage and personal experiences, Le Fanu crafted stories that delved into the darkest corners of the human psyche. 'Madam Crowl's Ghost and the Dead Sexton' is a testament to his mastery of the supernatural genre and his enduring influence on Victorian literature. I highly recommend 'Madam Crowl's Ghost and the Dead Sexton' to readers who appreciate classic gothic fiction and enjoy being transported to a world of mystery and suspense. Le Fanu's stories are sure to captivate and haunt you long after you finish reading.

Rosalie lives in Coverdale, North Yorkshire, the magnificent landscape of which inspires and sometimes provides the settings for her writing.REALITY TV: I have been looking forward to being here so much and now it hardly seems real. The view from my bedroom window is of fields and sheep and a hill that is almost a mountain. It is very much like the landscape we dreamed of when we first watched the Series, only on TV the fields are framed by the screen. Here they seem to flow on for ever.

    Take all the suspense and sexual tension of The X-Files, combine it with the charm and antics of Supernatural, and you get Darkhouse.Well, not quite. Dex and Perry might have the chemistry of Mulder and Scully and the scares of the Winchester Brothers, but I promise you this duo is unlike anything you've seen before.When twenty-three-year-old Perry Palomino explores a supposedly haunted lighthouse, she runs into Youtuber Dex Foray, a sexy, snarky and opportunistic ghost hunter who doesn't quite believe in ghosts. What Dex does believe in is making money and in Perry he sees a viable opportunity: create a ghost-hunting show on YouTube that would rival anything you'd see on TV and watch the dollars roll in.But creating and filming a ghost-hunting show isn't easy when there are actual ghosts haunting them—and then some. Sometimes terrifying, often hilarious, Darkhouse is the first book in the Experiment in Terror series.
