Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Robert Louis Stevenson

Verlag: CLXBX

Beschreibung

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.

House of War & Light - Season 1

Sarah Witenhafer

Reign Phillips has just earned her PhD in ancient languages when her Professor returns from Greece with treasure for the University of New Mexico; fifty-six mummified remains and a puzzling sealed gold casket that doesn't seem to fit any time period.

Reign is a woman Damon can't ignore and desperately wants to win. Her vibrant light soothes the darkness inside him, even as it pulls her away and warns her not to love him. As she decodes the mysterious writing on the outside of the casket, Damon must work to gain her trust and win her heart. 
Can he be the man she wants him to be? Or will they be eternally separated by his partly demonic nature? The casket holds the answer, and opening it will either bring peace or unleash a darkness that threatens to engulf the entire world.

Blunt Force Magic

Lawrence Davis

Five years removed from a life as an apprentice to a group of heroes who battled supernatural evils, the once-promising student Janzen Robinson has become a package courier. He now works the daily grind, passing time at a hole-in-the-wall bar and living in a tiny, run-down apartment on the south side of Cleveland, Ohio. 
 
 
 
Then from the ancient recesses of unyielding darkness known as the Abyss, a creature has been summoned: a Stalker, a predator whose real name must never be spoken. It's a bastardization of the natural order, a formidable blend of dark magic and primal tenacity. Its mission? To end the life of a fiery, emerging young witch. 
 
 
 
Thrust into the role of protector, a position once reserved for those he'd lost years ago, the out-of-practice "Artificer" is forced to confront his painful past while facing an unstoppable monster hell-bent on destruction. Janzen must keep one step ahead of the beast as he journeys through Cleveland's magical underbelly to uncover why it's been brought to our world. He will need to rely on old friends, a quiet stranger, and his own questionable wits to reach the other side of this nightmare—that just might cost him his life and, quite possibly, the world itself.

Sycamore

Ian Rogers

People are dying in the town of Sycamore. A string of grisly murders have shaken the quaint Canadian suburb, and the most recent crime scene might provide the first solid lead -- despite an easily fatal amount of blood, the victim is nowhere to be found. Most people would steer clear of a crime scene this gory, but to Private Investigator Felix Renn a missing persons investigation comes as a pleasant surprise. After a few run-ins with "Black Lands entities," Felix has developed an unwanted reputation as a monster hunter, and in a world where paranormal has become the norm, the opportunity to get back to simple human crime is almost refreshing. In Sycamore, though, Felix will find that darkness isn't so easy to escape.  
A riveting blend of supernatural horror and crime fiction, SYCAMORE is the debut novel by Ian Rogers and the world-at-large's introduction to the Black Lands universe. Set in an alternate-history Earth where portals to a monster-filled parallel dimension began appearing around the turn of the 20th century, SYCAMORE sets the stage for a world of stories centering the things that emerge from our worst nightmares.
