Beschreibung

“Even angels have to make a living these days.”
 
With this dry observance Peter Darbyshire introduces us to Cross, a man who has lived thousands of years, though he’d prefer not to have, and who is now hunting angels in a Barcelona filled with tourists, phone cameras and deep mystery. The Mona Lisa Sacrifice is a layered supernatural thriller, filled with history, magic and beloved characters. When an angel promises to deliver Judas, a forgotten god of a forgotten people, to Cross for revenge if he can find the real Mona Lisa, a cascading set of mysteries involving a sisterhood of gorgons, Alice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Morgana le Fay and renegade angels is set in motion. Everything hangs in the balance. Even the fate of the world.

    "I am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow my advice without knowing why." 
    In 1930, a prestigious Miskatonic University expedition sails for the frozen wastes of Antarctica. Led by Dr. William Dyer, their mission is geological discovery—but what they unearth beneath the ancient ice caps is a blasphemy against nature. High beyond a range of cyclopean mountains, taller than the Himalayas, lies a sprawling, dead city of stone. It is a place of geometrically impossible architecture and secrets that date back millions of years. As the team explores these "Mountains of Madness," they realize they are not merely uncovering history—they are disturbing the slumber of a pre-human nightmare that should never have been awakened.Why you will love this: This definitive version of At the Mountains of Madness captures the absolute essence of Cosmic Horror and Lovecraftian suspense. Fans of Eldritch terrors, ancient aliens, and Arctic survival will be mesmerized by the meticulous world-building and the slow-burn dread that defines the Cthulhu Mythos. It is a haunting exploration of forbidden knowledge and the insignificance of mankind in a vast, uncaring universe.About the Author: Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame as the father of modern horror. His "Lovecraftian" style has influenced generations of writers, filmmakers, and artists, establishing a legacy centered on the "weird fiction" genre and the terrifying concept of the Great Old Ones.

    The outback doesn’t forgive. It doesn’t forget. And it never leaves anything buried. 
    Callum and Elara came for isolation—a honeymoon far from everything. No neighbors. No noise. Just endless red earth and a weathered cottage waiting in silence. 
    But something is already there. 
    It begins quietly. Footprints circling the house. A rhythm in the night. Elara waking in places she doesn’t remember going. 
    Then she starts to change. 
    Her voice slips. Her body moves wrong. And sometimes… she’s standing in two places at once. 
    The land is shifting. The air feels watched. And beneath the dirt, something long buried is waking up. 
    Because this place isn’t haunted by chance. 
    It was chosen. 
    As the truth claws its way to the surface, Callum is forced to face what he tried to erase—a night of violence, a body hidden beneath red soil, and a voice that never stopped screaming. 
    Now it’s calling him back. 
    Out here, there is no escape. No forgiveness. No second chance. 
    Only reckoning. 
    And something that looks like the woman he loves… but isn’t. 
    A brutal psychological horror of possession, guilt, and vengeance—where the past doesn’t stay buried, and justice doesn’t come gently.
