So that happened… And there we all thought that the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse would be the worst event of the year. That was before we factored in that we must have gotten lost in the garbage-people timeline where only the strong survive—and usually not those portraying strength of character. But that isn’t even my main issue right now. With fall in full swing and winter fast approaching, food and other resources are not just limited but actually getting really hard to come by. Food… Don’t even get me started on that. Now that it boils down to survival of the assholes, decisions have to be made and sacrifices are in order. And as much as I would like to keep my firm stance on the moral high ground, I’m really not that fond of the consequences. If only there was an alternate solution for my problems… but as I’ve recently found out, that comes with its own massive downsides. If only that wasn’t so damn tempting, now that I’m hungry all the time… So damn hungry…Ver livro

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a haunting exploration of the dual nature of humanity, where respectability and savagery coexist within a single soul. Set in the shadowed streets of Victorian London, this enduring classic blends gothic suspense with profound psychological insight. Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected physician and man of science, is driven by a dangerous ambition: to separate the darker impulses of human nature from the moral self. Through a daring experiment, he succeeds—but at a terrible cost. His creation, the sinister and violent Edward Hyde, begins to take on a life of his own, unleashing chaos, fear, and murder upon the city. As Hyde's influence grows stronger and more uncontrollable, Jekyll finds himself trapped in a horrifying struggle for dominance over his own identity. The novel unfolds as a tense mystery, pieced together through chilling revelations, moral dilemmas, and an atmosphere thick with dread. More than a tale of horror, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a powerful meditation on good and evil, repression and desire, and the fragile boundaries that hold civilization together. Stevenson's concise yet evocative prose exposes the timeless truth that the most frightening monsters are not external—but reside within us all. A cornerstone of gothic literature, this novel remains as unsettling and relevant today as when it was first published.Ver livro

Two days later, she finds herself in the embalming room at Greener Pastures Mortuary, bottle of hair dye and scissors in hand. Styling her client's hair for the funeral is creepy.
