  Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction.Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values.Wuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emily's death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bush's song of the same name.

  WARNING! Contains moderate bloody violence against slavers and plantation owners!This pioneer vampire tale from 1819 spills revenge-cold blood as its narrator leads us through high gothic terror to radical outrage on the subject of slavery, reaching a blood-soaked conclusion dripping with 'biting' polemic vilifying the bankers who caused the economic recession of that same year.An anti-capitalist horror fable from 200 years ago, The Black Vampyre vilified the worst financial predation the capitalist world would ever see, decades before Karl Marx ― the enslavement of Africans in the New World.One dead man said no! And this is his story.The Black Vampyre; A Legend of St. Domingo tells the affrighting tale of a slave who is resurrected as a vampire after being killed by his owner; the slave seeks revenge by stealing the owner's son and marrying the owner's wife. The anonymous writer D'Arcy sets the story against the conditions that led to the Haitian Revolution.First published in chapbook form in New York in 1819, this emancipatory tale from literary New York in the 1810s arguably dates the birth of horror as know it!This edition features a new introduction as well as extensive notes and a guide to literary allusions.

  His name is Walker Gray. He rebuilds the faces of the slain. The lost, the forgotten, the unnamed. Through his skill and intuition, the missing dead are at last identified, reunited with who they were. Death is his province, but for all he’s seen, he has yet to witness the true scope of it.    
  In the burial gallery of a hillside monastery in central France, a Cistercian abbot is summoned to a disturbing discovery. In a hidden chamber rests an ancient coffin of bronze. More disturbing is what stands nearby – a bizarre altar, centuries old, constructed entirely of the dead. 
  In a brick warehouse in Portland, Oregon, Walker Gray and Dr. Jeffery Gray, father and son, renowned specialists in the craniofacial reproduction, have successfully concluded another case. Now, through a mysterious client, a crate containing an ancient bronze coffin has arrived. 
  Walker Gray’s all-consuming task will be identifying the tangle of bones and black rags inside it. In the process, his days will become a waking nightmare, linked by a hidden    well where dozens of headless women have been dumped over the last century, a shadowy organization known as Terminus, their envoy, Adrienne, perfect, poisonous. 
  As unnerving events escalate, Walker’s psyche slowly unravels, and Dr. Katherine O’Neal, working the graveyard emergency room, strives to keep their love alive and keep him together. And homicide veteran and close associate, Detective Doris Shellhart, trying to sort through events, begins to doubt Walker’s sanity.    
  For good reason. Those who Walker knows, or loves, will meet violent ends, and the unknown will shape itself into something horrifically recognizable. Walker Gray, on the razor edge of life or death, rebuilder of the dead, must confront the face that emerges from the darkness and into the light.
