Beschreibung

In "The Little Room, and Other Stories," Madeline Yale Wynne crafts a collection of narratives that delve into the nuanced realms of psychology and the spectral. Her prose is characterized by its delicate precision and vivid imagery, skillfully merging supernatural elements with the intricacies of human emotion. Wynne'Äôs stories reflect the late 19th-century literary context, where gothic sensibilities intersect with emerging modernist themes, resulting in a tapestry of narratives that probe the boundaries of reality, illusion, and the complexities of the human psyche. Madeline Yale Wynne, an accomplished writer at a time when women authors were often marginalized, drew from her own experiences in family and domesticity, as well as her fascination with the unexplained. An advocate for women's rights and education, Wynne'Äôs perspectives are imbued with a subtle feminist undertone, challenging the era's conventional societal norms and providing depth to her characters' struggles against societal expectations. This collection is highly recommended for scholars of feminist literature, enthusiasts of gothic fiction, and readers drawn to the exploration of psychological depth within mysterious settings. Wynne's rich narratives offer not only entertainment but also a profound invitation to reflect on the human experience and the unseen forces that shape it.

    Remy is a tour guide for the notoriously haunted Carrow House. The old place is a haunt for the superstitious, but Remy hasn't seen any proof of the paranormal yet. So when she's asked to host guests for a week-long stay in order to research Carrow's phenomena, she hopes to finally experience some of the sightings that made the house famous. 
    At first, it's everything they hoped for. Then a storm moves in, cutting off their contact with the outside world, and things quickly take a sinister turn. Doors open on their own. Séances go disastrously wrong. Their spirit medium wanders through the house at night, seemingly in a trance. But it isn't until one of the guests dies under strange circumstances that Remy is forced to consider the possibility that the ghost of the house's original owner―a twisted serial killer―still walks the halls. 
    And by then it's too late to escape…

    Five fantastical tales from the mind of H. P. Lovecraft that center around a theme of illicit substances: some used to transcend the veil of reality, some used to keep one's sanity in check. All of the stories are quite psychedelic and unreal, quite mystical, and quite frightening. So, turn off the lights, get lit, and come with us on this long strange trip. Stories include "Azathoth", "Dagon", "Ex Oblivione", "Celephais", and "Hypnos".  
    Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American writer of weird, science, fantasy, and horror fiction. He is best known for his creation of the Cthulhu Mythos. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft spent most of his life in New England. Lovecraft's literary corpus is based around the idea of cosmicism, which was simultaneously his personal philosophy and the main theme of his fiction. Cosmicism posits that humanity is an insignificant part of the cosmos, and could be swept away at any moment. He incorporated fantasy and science fiction elements into his stories, representing the perceived fragility of anthropocentrism. This was tied to his ambivalent views on knowledge. His works were largely set in a fictionalized version of New England. Civilizational decline also plays a major role in his works, as he believed that the West was in decline during his lifetime.
