Beschreibung

Step into a realm of cosmic horror and decadent madness where a fictional play induces insanity in all who read it. This seminal collection of short stories introduces a mythology of yellow signs, pallid masks, and the terrifying city of Carcosa, influencing generations of weird fiction writers. The prose is lush and dreamlike, creating an atmosphere of dread that suggests a reality unraveling at the seams. It is a masterpiece of the supernatural that explores the danger of forbidden knowledge and the fragility of the human mind.

    After the death of his wife, Annika, Chester Lane is forced to pick up the pieces and start anew. 
     
     
     
    Trouble is, some of the pieces don't appear to fit. 
     
     
     
    There was much more to Chester's late wife than met the eye; her short life had been a troubled one, filled with frightening oddities—some of which may have had a hand in her untimely death. 
     
     
     
    Perishing under horrifying and mysterious circumstances, Annika's absence casts a long shadow across Chester's life. Hungry for answers in the wake of her death, he starts asking questions better left unasked. 
     
     
     
    How did his beloved meet her end? Why does the smell of her signature perfume begin to turn up everywhere in the weeks after her passing? Who is the shadowed figure that stalks around his home and peers into his windows as the sun sets? Has his wife truly returned from the dead, or is he being haunted by a dark presence from her terrifying past? 
     
     
     
    The deeper Chester digs into Annika's past, the closer he gets to unearthing a true nightmare—a nightmare that had been set in motion long before they'd said, "I do."

    Some doors were never meant to be opened… especially the ones that lead to the dead. 
    On a desolate country road stands a desecrated church, rotting beneath the weight of the horrors once worshiped within its walls. Locals avoid it. Spirits cling to it. And Tabitha Mainwater is determined to walk straight inside. 
    Years ago, Tabitha watched her best friend die and vowed never to feel that powerless again. Now a medium obsessed with unraveling death’s secrets, she chases every whisper from the other side. When her search leads her to the church abandoned by a fanatical cult, she believes she’s finally found the place where the veil is thinnest and the truth is closest. 
    She’s right. 
    A lingering spirit named Orrin Riley offers her forbidden knowledge, seductive power, and the answers she’s spent her life chasing. But Orrin hides a darker hunger, one that wants more than her trust. He wants her obedience. Her devotion. Her help in awakening something ancient that should remain buried. 
    And if she refuses? Orrin is more than willing to take what he wants. 
    As the boundary between the living and the dead buckles and twists, Tabitha faces an impossible choice: embrace the power calli 
    A spirit named Orrin Riley reaches out, offering knowledge, power… and temptation. But his guidance comes with a price. He has his own buried secrets, a deeper darkness clawing to be set free. He wants Tabitha to submit to him, to help resurrect something ancient and unspeakable. And if she refuses? He will take what he wants—one way or another. 
    As reality begins to unravel, Tabitha must decide: Will she harness her true power, or become something far worse? 
    Church of Shadows is a chilling gothic horror tale of obsession, power, and the razor-thin line between salvation and damnation. Perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, this haunting novel will stay with you long after the final page.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume Cursed words are used with spite and venom to exact revenge on others, as perhaps only our classic authors can.

    Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. While Hope's performing a palm reading, a local doctor, Dylan Henshaw, bursts in, accusing them of trying to kill his patient with a tincture. The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of the sisters' grandmother, Gram, who announces that one of her friends has died suddenly. It looks like a simple allergic reaction…but why has a solitary Tarot card—the Fool—been placed on the body? When another of Gram's friends dies in similar circumstances, with the Fool card also left at the scene, it's surely no coincidence. Although Hope is hesitant to read the Tarot again following a recent tragedy, she might be the only one capable of deciphering the clues. Can she overcome her fear and uncover the card's meaning before the killer strikes again?
