Beschreibung

The "Regency Romance Classics 'Äì Samuel Richardson Collection" showcases the pioneering works of Samuel Richardson, a pivotal figure in the evolution of the English novel. This collection brings together his seminal novels, characterized by their epistolary form and intricate character examinations. Richardson deftly explores themes of virtue, moral complexity, and the struggles of society, all set against the backdrop of the Regency era'Äôs social mores. His writing style, imbued with psychological depth and emotional intensity, allows readers to engage intimately with the characters'Äô dilemmas and desires, making the narratives both compelling and reflective of the human condition. Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was not merely an author but a craftsman of culture, and his background as a printer deeply influenced his literary creations. His fascination with letters and communication in an increasingly evolving society provided a framework for his exploration of individual agency against societal constraints. Richardson's works emerged during a critical juncture in literary history when the novel began to establish itself as a serious form capable of addressing complex social issues. This collection is recommended for readers intrigued by early modern literature, the evolution of romance in fiction, or the intricacies of human relationships. With Richardson's works, one can appreciate the roots of modern narrative styles while enjoying timeless themes that resonate even today.

    New Weird Folk Horror intertwines with a troubled family history in the debut novella from Colin Hinckley! 
    Eddie's parents may be arguing about the disappearance of his infant brother Danny, but Eddie's facing a terror all of his own. There's a strange figure outside that claims it has Danny safe and sound—all Eddie needs to do to get his brother back is open that window.  
    Eddie's father is filled with guilt over his relationship with his own lost brother. His mother has been abandoned to navigate her grief and terror alone. And his grandmother carries a disturbing, all-too-relevant truth about their shared family history.  
    As minutes tick by and hope for Danny grows ever smaller, the very fabric of their world disintegrates, welcoming eldritch terrors of unspeakable provenance to their doorstep. The family is losing a decades- long struggle against an entity that is not of this world, and its hunger threatens to swallow them whole. 
    “Combine Shirley Jackson’s haunted claustrophobia, Stephen King’s nail-biting plots, and the cosmic otherworld-horror of Stranger Things, and you get one wholly original Colin Hinckley. Spend a few hours in [his] mind, and I guarantee you’ll be drawing the curtains tight for weeks.”GennaRose Nethercott, author of Thistlefoot 
    “The Black Lord brings to mind a low-lit tavern; you there with your drink, overhearing the hushed talk from a nearby table. Start this book at dusk, within view of a tree line. Feel something stare back. This is my first Hinckley, but it won’t be my last.” Scott J. Moses, author of Our Own Unique Affliction

    Former Army grunt Jonah Browne is a survivor. Guilt-ridden and haunted by the past, he is determined to set things right, one dead Molter at a time. 
    Fortunately, while stationed in Germany in the military, he learned the location of (abandoned) military bases, so he stocks up on guns, ammo, and explosives. 
    On his warpath he discovers a group who has found a way to fight back against The Molting and its bloodthirsty spawn. His work with them not only kills more Molters, but also enables him to begin the process of piecing himself back together. 
    As he recuperates within the safety of guarded fences surrounding a peaceful town, he stops just surviving and starts living again. 
    Until the fortifications fail, and Jonah discovers a shocking truth—a secret that changes his thoughts about not only the creatures threatening humanity, but the planet Earth itself.

    Weird things dwell in the hidden corners of Britain: subterranean beasts, extradimensional entities, resurrected ghouls, and spectral vampires. And there are weird places, too. Beyond the veil of the waking world, lie realms of secrets, domains of madness. So begins the saga, of Peter Van Melsen... 
    The tall, gaunt and mysterious Van Melsen was born out of Ian’s love of occult detective fiction—Algernon Blackwood’s John Silence and William Hope Hodgson’s Thomas Carnacki being among his favourite paranormal investigators. 
    “The old Hammer Horror actors were a big influence, too,” says Ian. “I’ve always envisioned Van Melsen as the amalgam of Peter Cushing and Roddy McDowall. Duncan Kay’s wonderful cover illustration captures this perfectly.” 
    The six stories within serve to introduce the reader to the peculiar P. I., whilst sewing the seeds for future volumes, of which there will be several…
