Sinopse

M. R. James's "A Warning to the Curious, and Other Ghost Stories" is a seminal collection that redefines the ghost story within the early 20th-century literary framework. Employing a narrative style that seamlessly blends atmospheric detail with understated terror, James crafts tales rich in eerie suspense and ingrained with a distinct scholarly nuance. His use of antiquarian settings and the exploration of folklore and archaeology punctuate each story, giving rise to a palpable sense of dread that resonates with readers, making them question the boundaries between the mortal and the supernatural. Montague Rhodes James, an influential medieval scholar and university lecturer, drew inspiration from his profound knowledge of history and archaeology. His academic background notably influenced his storytelling technique, as he often imbued his narratives with learned references, merging intellectual rigor with chills of the macabre. James's own fascination with the uncanny is evident in his characters, often depicted as rational men confronted with inexplicable horrors, reflecting his belief in the rich tapestry of hidden histories. Readers seeking masterful horror rooted in scholarly traditions will find "A Warning to the Curious, and Other Ghost Stories" to be an essential addition to their collection. James's articulate prose invites an immersive experience into the eerie and unknown, making it a compelling read for enthusiasts of ghost stories and gothic literature alike.

    London, a city known for its rich history and bustling streets, is also home to a darker side. Kipner, a former archaeologist turned investigator, has spent years delving into the occult and uncovering the supernatural truths that lie hidden in the shadows. But now, his obsession has taken a dangerous turn. 
    As Kipner stares out his office window, his mind racing with the horrors he has witnessed, he knows that he must see it one more time. The cosmic terror that lurks just beyond the city's boundaries calls to him, daring him to bear witness once more. But with each passing day, the line between his visions and reality becomes more blurred, and he knows that time is running out. 
    Haunted by his past failures and struggling to maintain his grip on reality, Kipner receives a cryptic telegram from Delven Montgomery III, the man who sparked his obsession with the occult. Montgomery promises a resolution, but at what cost? With the bottle as his only solace and his visions growing stronger, Kipner must make a choice: continue down the path of madness or embark on a journey that could reveal the truth behind his visions. For fans of psychological thrillers and supernatural mysteries, Kipner's Boon will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. 
    This is Book 1 of Kipner's Boon. Book 2 will be available in 2025

    And here is where I fall. 
    Mina Daaé dreams of performing on Broadway. Like her great ancestor, Christine Daaé, who sang at the prestigious Palais Garnier a hundred years before, Mina has the voice of an angel. But after graduating from Conservatoire de Paris, fortune fails her. Until the circus comes to town. 
    Mina’s close friend Toni Vollini offers her a role in his new Broadway play mixing Mozart with clowns. Known as The Harlequin, the musical is an inimitable adaptation of the opera Don Giovanni. Toni says Mina will soar, but with pathologic acrophobia, she’s afraid she’ll fall. And the ghost in her head says she will. 
    Toni and a ghost vie for her love, but Mina thinks her ghost is just another hallucination. Or is her ghost a phantom of the opera?
