Beschreibung

A desperate woman’s innocent escape from London turns deadly in this suspenseful mystery by the renowned author of the Albert Campion series.   Out of a job, a home, and luck, Mary Coleridge tells a seemingly innocuous lie in order to take a break from the pressures of London. Posing as her friend, Marie-Elizabeth Mason, Mary travels to the countryside to visit Miss Mason’s wealthy aunt. The estate is grand, Mrs. de Liane eager and endearing, the food abundant and delectable. It is so nice, in fact, that Mary settles into her new life as Marie-Elizabeth, and even entertains the possibility of a new beau. But something is not right within the great house.   As Mary’s stay extends, the sweet Mrs. de Liane begins to sour. The scheming matriarch has a devilish plan in store for her niece. And when Mary fails to cooperate, Mrs. de Liane decides to hold her captive. With no one to turn to and no way out, will Mary ever escape the house, and the oppressive evil that rules it?   The queen of classic crime, Margery Allingham, delivers a dazzling manor house mystery writing as Maxwell March.

Bound up in myth, urban legend and folklore it is a monolith, terrifying and unapproachable. 
    Until that is an outsider arrives in town. Undaunted by the local folklore he determines to unpick the houses' terrible history and the stories that have grown up around it, to test the limits of the folklore and if need be to dismiss and disprove the stories completely.

    Immortality Has Met Its Match... 
    Ever since the Ring of Fire, the world's vampires have seen their mortality. They won’t live forever after all — not if the angels who created them decide to snuff them like candles. 
    What do the angels want? What did their command to “restore balance” truly mean? For most, the angels’ decrees mean mass murder and mass turnings … but the humans aren’t sheep, and won’t just lie down and take it forever. 
    As Deacon Maurice tries to maintain order with Reginald by his side, panic consumes the Vampire Nation. The center begins to fall apart and chaos grows like cancer. But as war between vampires and humans threatens, Reginald begins to discover strange new abilities within him: to navigate through blood history like no other vampire before him. To glamour those who can’t be glamoured. And seemingly, to stop time itself. 
    Fear has reached its tipping point. War is close. Reginald might hold the key to the angels’ mystery … but whatever could help him intervene just might be too late.

    In Edgar Allan Poe’s gripping tale of survival and cosmic terror, A Descent into the Maelström plunges listeners into a tempest of elemental fury and existential dread. Set amidst the wild Norwegian coast, the story follows an old fisherman who recounts the nightmarish experience that turned his hair white and changed his life forever. 
    As a violent hurricane wrecks his fishing boat, he and his brothers are dragged toward the Moskoe-strom—a vast, apocalyptic whirlpool capable of swallowing ships whole. But amidst the chaos, a keen observation about how different objects behave in the vortex offers him a desperate shot at survival. 
    Told with Poe’s signature intensity and philosophical depth, this psychological maritime thriller explores mankind’s insignificance in the face of nature’s overwhelming power. A stunning blend of science, suspense, and Gothic atmosphere, it remains one of Poe’s most visually powerful and underrated works.
