Beschreibung

In "Gothic Horrors: Bowen's Greatest Occult & Supernatural Tales," Marjorie Bowen intricately weaves a tapestry of terror, transporting readers to the eerie realms of the supernatural and the macabre. This collection showcases her mastery of gothic fiction, employing rich, evocative language that draws on traditional Gothic tropes while infusing them with her distinctive voice. Bowen's stories are not merely tales of horror; they delve deep into the psychological landscapes of her characters, exploring themes of madness, obsession, and the haunting shadows of the past, all set against vividly rendered backdrops that suggest the uncanny and the grotesque. Marjorie Bowen, a prolific writer of the early 20th century, possessed a profound fascination with the supernatural and the occult, shaped by her own tumultuous life experiences and a keen interest in history. Her unique perspective as a woman navigating a male-dominated literary world allowed her to explore themes of repression and fear from a distinctly feminine lens, positioning her as a notable figure in the Gothic literary canon. Bowen's works reflect her extensive knowledge of historical events, folklore, and the darker aspects of human nature, all culminating in a rich narrative voice. "Gothic Horrors" is an essential read for enthusiasts of gothic literature and the supernatural. Bowen's deft storytelling, atmospheric settings, and complex characterizations will captivate those who seek to understand the intricate dance between fear and fascination. This collection not only offers chilling tales but also serves as a testament to Bowen's lasting influence on the genre, making it a noteworthy addition to any literary library.

    A dimly lit Victorian study. A mirror reflects two sides of the same man—one side dignified, clean-shaven, and composed (Dr. Jekyll), the other snarling, shadowy, and wild-eyed (Mr. Hyde). 
    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a psychological thriller and gothic masterpiece that explores the duality of human nature and the shadows that lurk beneath respectability. First published in 1886, this novella follows the story of the respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll, whose secret experiments unleash his dark alter ego—Mr. Edward Hyde—upon Victorian London. 
    As Hyde’s brutal and violent behavior spirals out of control, Jekyll must confront the terrifying consequences of his scientific ambition. Told through multiple perspectives, this eerie and atmospheric tale has remained a chilling allegory of repression, identity, and the human soul. 
    This full audiobook brings Stevenson’s gripping prose to life with haunting narration, immersing listeners in cobblestone alleyways, flickering gaslights, and the eerie fog of 19th-century London. A must-listen for fans of gothic fiction, classic horror, and literary suspense.

    Three haunted young men. A terrible curse. One girl who could break it... if this place doesn't break her first. 
    From the first time my parents decided that getting their next hit mattered more than keeping me fed, I learned I couldn't trust anyone—until Cade. My foster brother took me under his wing and sheltered me from the worst of the crap thrown at us.  
    So when he heads off on an exclusive scholarship and everyone around me starts denying he ever existed, Roseborne College has some explaining to do. I'm not leaving until I get answers. 
    The school I barge into isn't what I pictured. The staff claim Cade's never been here. The students glare like just looking at me offends them. The classes involve more torment than teaching, while sobs and howls fill the night. And three very different, unnervingly appealing guys—one of them a teacher—act way too invested in my arrival. 
    Some unnatural power holds this place in its grip. The more I dig, the more horrors I uncover. Finding Cade might not be my biggest problem after all. It's looking like none of us, me included, will escape this place alive. 
    *Academy of the Forgotten is the first book in a gothic paranormal trilogy with shades of Beauty and the Beast. If you love snarky heroines, damaged heroes, dark secrets galore, and reverse harem romance, look no further! Just beware: Once you enter Roseborne College, there may be no coming back...*

    What happens beyond the end of time? 
    In Munderworld, time has become meaningless. With the world of po gone, there isn’t much for many to do beyond endure their existence. Though there is one person, a jester from a bygone age, who chooses to spend his time high in the mountains looking at the stars. 
    He and his friend, a small and chatty imp called Fiddle, decide on some antics to pass the time and end up angering a celestial entity. After barely escaping with their lives, Cynkz is given brief glimpses of an odd vision. Unsure of what to make of it, he decides it is a good enough reason as any to venture down through the depths of Munderworld and see if they can find an audience with the enigmatic Munder King–the lord of darkness, he who created Munderworld (and has not been seen or heard of for eons). 
    A simple, carefree decision to seek adventure soon turns into a series of growing perils as the dynamic duo meet many others just trying to get by. Cynkz’s own curiosities become entwined with the goals and wishes of others as his own resolve gets tested the further down they go.
