Sinopsis

In "The Other Side of the Door," Lucia Chamberlain crafts a haunting narrative that intricately weaves psychological suspense with poignant emotional undertones. Set against the backdrop of a decaying mansion, the novel explores themes of memory, grief, and the inescapability of the past. Chamberlain'Äôs prose is both lyrical and incisive, drawing readers into a labyrinth of inner turmoil and existential questions, while the strong atmospheric elements evoke a sense of foreboding akin to the works of Shirley Jackson and Daphne du Maurier, situating her firmly within the Gothic literary tradition. Lucia Chamberlain, a writer hailed for her deep psychological insights, draws upon her background in psychology and her own experiences with loss; this informs her exploration of the human psyche in her narratives. Her keen understanding of emotional complexities allows her to create characters that resonate profoundly with readers, who often find themselves reflecting on their own relationships with memory and identity. This novel was particularly inspired by Chamberlain's formative experiences with family dynamics and the haunting nature of unresolved histories, which she captures with uncanny precision. "The Other Side of the Door" is a compelling read that will resonate with fans of literary fiction and psychological thrillers alike. Chamberlain'Äôs profound exploration of the human condition, wrapped in an eerie narrative, invites readers to ponder the shadows that linger just beyond their own doors. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeply immersive experience that challenges both the heart and mind.

    When the Montague & Strong Detective Agency gets a visit from the Arctic Society of Sorcery to help them find a missing person, they realize the person they’ve been tasked with locating is the legendary Mr. K.-a mage known for his famous Ritual of Esper which occurs only once every fifty years.

    Together they must locate and rescue Mr. K before time runs out, and stop Wrakjan from corrupting the ritual, and plunging the world into darkness.

    Read by the author, Tracy Whitwell.The Hidden Dead is the fourth book in a hilarious series featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, has become an unwilling crime-solver. When the dead call, she listens. . .On a night out in a London bar, our accidental medium Tanz meets Einar, a charismatic and sexy Viking travelling for business. He offers Tanz an irresistible proposition: return to Iceland with him for an all-expenses-paid writing retreat and some no-strings-attached fun.Promised a mix of work, play and maybe a bit of romance, Tanz follows her heart (and the voices in her head) off to Iceland on a whim; but when she arrives, she quickly realises that Einar and his charm might not be all they're cracked up to be.Heartbroken, abandoned and left to the mercy of the long, haunting nights, Tanz finds herself surrounded not just by the rugged beauty of a land steeped in legend but also the mysteries that lurk in its shadows. With only the dead for guidance, Tanz is thrust back into the heart of a chilling cold case, where the echoes of the forgotten and the allure of old magic compel her to listen, to understand and to act. . .

    Joyce Carol Oates assembles an outstanding cast of authors—including Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, and Megan Abbott—to explore, subvert, and reinvent one of the most vital subgenres of horror.  
     
    Featuring brand-new stories by: Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, Joyce Carol Oates, Megan Abbott, Aimee Bender, Cassandra Khaw, Lisa Lim, Elizabeth Hand, Valerie Martin, Raven Leilani, Sheila Kohler, Joanna Margaret, Lisa Tuttle, Aimee LaBrie, and Yumi Dineen Shiroma. 
     
    While the common belief is that “body horror” as a subgenre of horror fiction dates back to the 1970s, Joyce Carol Oates suggests that Medusa, the snakehaired gorgon in Greek mythology, is the “quintessential emblem of female body horror.” In A Darker Shade of Noir: New Stories of Body Horror by Women Writers, Oates has assembled a spectacular cast to explore this subgenre focusing on distortions to the human body in the most fascinating of ways.

    There are books that haunt. The King in Yellow is one of them.
    First published in 1895, this cycle of four interlinked stories—The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon, and The Yellow Sign—offers a view into a world just a shade off from our own. Beneath the surface of elegant prose and civil order lies something broken, something touched by madness, art, power—and something unspeakably strange.
    A book within the book, a play that should never be read, threads through each tale, leaving behind not answers, but echoes. With quiet menace and disquieting beauty, Chambers sketches a fictional universe that lingers like a fevered dream.
    Not quite horror, not quite science fiction, not quite fantasy—The King in Yellow is a singular work. A whisper from the shadows. An invitation to look too long at the thing you cannot name.
