Sinopsis

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.

"The Call of Cthulhu" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales Magazine. 
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." 
With these iconic words, Lovecraft opens The Call of Cthulhu, a cornerstone of twentieth-century horror and the defining tale of his vast Cthulhu Mythos. Presented as a series of interconnected documents and testimonies, the story follows a professor's descent into the tangled threads of a global mystery—a series of strange dreams, cult activity, and ancient carvings that all point to the same terrifying revelation: the Great Old One known as Cthulhu is real—and not entirely asleep.

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.
