  What would you do if you were invincible? Would you use it for your own glory, or share it with the world for the betterment of all? This question haunts the famous warrior known as Vlain the Last. He was just another legionnaire in service to the empire until he found a jinn and wished for his heart's desire. 
  Vlain has just returned from a maritime adventure when the emperor of Elamara asks him to help lead the 9th Legion to victory against the wild beast-men in their vast woodland realm known as the Last Wild. Vlain agrees and is thus pulled into a brooding conflict between the woodlanders and humans. However, Vlain soon realizes there's far more to the conflict than he was told. He must quickly decide where his true allegiances lie as tensions rise and battle-lines are drawn.

  Weird Tales brings together 18 unforgettable lost science fiction and dark fantasy short stories, from Weird Tales Magazine—from the late 1800s through the golden decades of the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s. 
  This collection plunges you into shadow-soaked ruins, forbidden knowledge, alien geometries, living houses, and terrors that refuse to remain buried. These are stories where science blurs into nightmare, curiosity becomes a fatal flaw, and the universe proves far stranger—and more hostile—than humanity ever imagined. 
  You’ll encounter ancient cities abandoned for reasons best left undiscovered, unseen entities lurking just beyond perception, and experiments that open doors no one should walk through. Weird Tales delivers the raw imagination that defined early speculative fiction.

  The Picture of Dorian Gray -...

  Oscar Wilde

  Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray's relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps."
