Sinopse

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is a seminal work that intricately weaves themes of creation, responsibility, and the quest for knowledge against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution. Written in a Gothic style, the novel explores the dark consequences of unchecked ambition through the harrowing tale of Victor Frankenstein, who creates a sentient being, only to grapple with his own hubris and the ensuing tragedy. Shelley's blending of epistolary narrative and philosophical discourse invites readers to ponder societal values and ethical dilemmas that resonate deeply in our contemporary context. Shelley, often heralded as the first science fiction writer, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of her time, including Enlightenment thought and Romantic ideals. As the daughter of pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and radical philosopher William Godwin, Shelley received an education steeped in discussions of morality and human nature. Personal tragedies shaped her worldview, compelling her to question the limitations and responsibilities of scientific exploration, which are central to the novel's exploration of creation and destruction. "Frankenstein" is an essential reading experience for those who seek to engage with the moral implications of scientific advancement and the complexities of human emotion. Shelley's masterful prose and profound insights ensure that this classic remains relevant and thought-provoking, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of humanity itself.

    Handsome, gifted young James Laurent has a story to tell you. His father will likely be the next governor, and his own future is bright. But James carries a dark secret--he's a sociopath who's done terrible things, and he doesn't know how to love. 
    That is, until he meets Morgan, a strong, beautiful farm girl who captures his heart and turns his world on its ear. but Morgan harbors secrets of her own...and as James will discover, creatures far darker than he walk this Earth. 
    "In Scream of the Butterfly, Christophe Maso wraps big questions about the nature and limits of love in a propulsive narrative that punches above its weight class. A strong debut, this novella both delivers on its own promise and marks Maso as a writer to watch. Closely." -- John Langan, award-winning author of Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies 
    "Like the Jim Morrison of horror fiction, Christophe Maso won't stop breaking the rules. Indeed, even after you've made it to 'the end' of his dark tale of madness and desire, you may still find it hard to 'break on through' the lingering shadows." -- Josh Schlossberg, award-winning author of Malinae and editor of The Jewish Book of Horror

    Sink your teeth into the cult classic vampire novella that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Fear sweeps the countryside as people fall victim to a strange illness.  After a peculiar accident, beautiful Mircalla becomes a ward at Laura’s family home.  Soon, friendship blooms between the mysterious Mircalla and curious Laura.  Love is in the air, but so is something deadly.  Will Mircalla’s secret cost Laura her life? Carmilla, originally published in 1872, is one of the first vampire novels ever written, predating Dracula by twenty-six years. Carmilla, with its themes of vampirism and homosexuality, shocked the standards and stereotypes for women set in the Victorian era. Today, Carmilla is considered the original archetype of female and LGBTQ vampires, and Le Fanu’s influence is seen throughout vampire fiction.
