All Things Seen and Unseen - A Novel

RJ McDaniel

Casa editrice: ECW Press

Sinossi

An incisive reflection on identity and wealth, and a refreshing racial queer story of survival
		 
All Things Seen and Unseen follows Alex Nguyen, an isolated, chronically ill university student in her early 20s. After a suicide attempt and subsequent lengthy hospitalization, she finds herself without a job, kicked out of campus housing, unable to afford school, and still struggling in the aftermath of a relationship’s dissolution. Hope comes in the form of a rich high school friend who offers Alex a job housesitting at her family’s empty summer mansion on a gulf island.
		 
Surrounded by dense forest and ocean, in the increasingly oppressive heat of a 2010s summer, Alex must try to survive as an outsider in a remote, insular community; to navigate the awkward, unexpected beginnings of a possible new romance; and to live through the trauma she has repressed to survive, even as the memories — and a series of increasingly unnerving events — threaten to pull her back under the surface.

Call of the Deep Ones The: 7...

H. P. Lovecraft

There are secrets beneath the waves ... older than mankind, and hungry still. 
In this salt-soaked collection, H. P. Lovecraft conjures horrors from the deep: ancient beings that slumber beneath black seas, forgotten isles lost to time, and coastal towns whose bloodlines trace back to something not entirely human. Each tale explores the terror of isolation—geographical and existential—as characters find themselves adrift in waters not meant to be charted. 
Whether wrecked on a strange shore or pulled downward by unseen forces, the fate is the same: madness, revelation … or worse.

Dagon 
The Temple 
The Shadow Over Innsmouth 
The Strange High House in the Mist 
The White Ship

Mark Samuel

The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
The Grandmaster's Final Game: The Church of St Ignatius of Loyola appeared to be empty but the Reverend Mooney, S.J., still sat waiting in the confessional, squinting at his watch in the shadows.
