Synopsis

"I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine."

In a lonely schloss deep within the forest of Styria, young Laura leads a secluded life with her father. Her world is forever changed when a mysterious carriage accident brings a beautiful, enigmatic guest into their home: Carmilla. As an intense and feverish bond develops between the two women, a strange wasting sickness begins to claim the lives of girls in the surrounding villages, and Laura finds her own strength ebbing away as she is haunted by dreams of a giant, soot-black beast.

The Architect of the Vampire Mythos: Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla is a masterclass in atmospheric dread. It introduced many of the conventions that would define the genre: the noble but cursed antagonist, the ability of the vampire to slip through locked doors, and the specialized "specialist" required to end the nightmare. Long before Van Helsing, there was General Spielsdorf and Baron Vordenburg.

A Story of Shadow and Subtext: Beneath the Gothic horror lies a groundbreaking exploration of attraction and obsession. Carmilla's "love" for Laura is both tender and predatory, creating a psychological depth that was revolutionary for its time. With its lush prose and haunting imagery—from the moonlit ruins of the Karnstein estate to the hidden portrait of a long-dead ancestor—Carmilla remains one of the most influential and chilling works in the history of the supernatural.

The original shadow is waiting. Purchase "Carmilla" today and discover the dark elegance of the vampire's first kiss.

    I don't think I'll ever find a light that shines as bright as you. 
    London, 1814: hopelessly romantic fae Keelan Cricket has grown listless since returning to town. He agrees to help the Council study fae-human magic, eager to erase the memory of his passionate encounter in the country. 
    But the man he can't forget is now in London and, even worse, joining the project too. 
    Silas Rook-Worth hates London. His magic won't behave and he's weary of the prejudice he faces against fae-humans like himself. He's counting down the days until he can return to his hard-working, close-knit family — but he can't ignore the pull he feels toward Keelan Cricket, the man he slept with, and unkindly dismissed, a month ago. 
    As the two men gradually reunite, their mutual attraction blossoms into romance. But even a powerful magical connection cannot change Keelan's duty to his family or Silas' impending departure — and falling in love on borrowed time will force both of them to decide what truly matters.

    Jesse McDermitt discovers an environmental nightmare of deception and greed taking place in Central America. A cartel is branching into smuggling things other than drugs. And they’re doing it quite effectively. 
    The Honduran rain forests and its inhabitants are at peril. The cartel needs hidden places to grow coca, used in the manufacture of cocaine. The exotic and endangered hardwood trees are cut and sold on the black market, along with any creature found dwelling deep in the humid jungle. 
    Environmental activists in the area who try to intercede are swiftly dealt with in the manner the cartel deals with anyone who stands between them and the almighty dollar—with a sharp machete. 
    Having so many moving parts and numerous smuggling routes, can Jesse and the crew of Ambrosia, on a dive vacation in the Bay Islands of Honduras, be able to make a difference? Or will the beautiful reef surrounding the island of Utila be Ambrosia’s grave?
