Sinossi

Karl Hahrhöffer wakes up soaked and disoriented in a storm, with no memory of how he got there. As he stumbles back to his old, decrepit home in Altdorf, he uncovers a series of strange and unsettling events. Villagers fear him, his house is in ruins, and his own reflection is foreign to him.
 
With only snippets of memory and a mysterious diary to guide him, Karl pieces together a chilling truth: he was once a vampire, turned human again by a lightning cross. Now, he must confront his undead past to find peace.

    Some secrets should stay buried. 
    When renowned architect Arania Webb returns to Bristol Zoo — once her childhood sanctuary but now a derelict ruin — she discovers her late father’s hidden underground lab, which harbours a dark obsession. 
    Inside, she uncovers his journals documenting twisted experiments to fuse arachnid DNA with humans, creating unnatural creatures that blur the line between species. As Arania descends into the shadowy depths and explores further, she realises the terrifying extent of her beloved father’s attempts to play god. 
    With demolition charges set to raze the derelict zoo in minutes, Arania has little time to process the ethical transgression and madness that drove her father down an unholy path before the truth is buried forever. 
    But when the site manager stumbles upon her macabre discovery, Arania knows she must act swiftly to protect her family’s legacy — and her own future. 
    Will she find a way to escape the ruins with her father’s monstrous secrets? Or will the horrors hidden beneath the zoo ultimately consume them both? 
    In this short story, J.F. Penn weaves a tale of dark secrets, genetic aberration, and a legacy that blurs the lines between ethical transgression and scientific ambition, a narrative that is as much about the inner darkness of human nature as it is about the monsters we create.

    This creepy story is considered by many to be the most grisly and terrifying of all of Poe's writings.  It is told by an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of the narrator's sanity while simultaneously describing a murder the narrator committed. The victim was an old man with a filmy pale blue "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it. The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, attempting the perfect crime, complete with dismembering the body in the bathtub and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator's actions result in hearing a thumping sound, which the narrator interprets as the dead man's beating heart.

    Eddie has to save his friends, stop the apocalypse, and avoid eternal damnation. And he’s only got three days to do it… 
    Eddie Lancaster is dead. His final act was one of sacrifice in the town of Cedarstone. He thought self-sacrifice would buy him eternal bliss in the afterlife. He was wrong. Luckily for him, Lucifer is willing to offer him a deal. 
    If he returns to life and retrieves the Ambrotos Dagger then Lucifer will allow Eddie to rest in peace for eternity. All his past sins will be expunged. The task seems easy enough until Eddie tries to do it. 
    The dagger is nowhere to be found and the world is very much changed. Eddie’s explosive sacrifice exposed the supernatural community to the world and not everyone is very happy about it. Old enemies, supernatural and human, emerge from the woodwork to exact revenge on Eddie, and he soon finds himself in the midst of a war between vampires, sorcerers, necromancers, and zombies. 
    As he draws closer to finding the dagger, talk of the apocalypse comes to the fore, and he realises the exiled angels of the Dead Realm have not been entirely honest about their intentions. A far more catastrophic war is looming on the horizon and one wrong step could trigger the end of the world. 
    Eddie soon realises that being dead does not mean he’s untouchable. He still has friends his enemies can hurt and his eternal salvation is on the line. He has to retrieve the dagger, save his friends, and make sure that the world doesn’t end in the process. He’s got three days to do it and the clock is ticking. 
    If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Shayne Silvers, Steve McHugh, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or Ben Aaronovitch, you will LOVE the Eddie Lancaster novels.
