Sinopse

The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a "red badge of courage", to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as flag-bearer, carrying the regimental colors.

Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation.

    When reality fractures, ordinary lives spiral into uncanny horror in this anthology of glitch-in-the-matrix tales.
     
    Designed for the quiet dread of late-night listening, these accounts expose the terrifying porosity of our world. If you have ever felt truly alone in a new apartment or experienced a moment of déjà vu that felt like a warning, this collection speaks directly to that primal paranoia.
     
    Move beyond traditional hauntings into a landscape of high strangeness where time doubles back and domestic safety dissolves. These narratives focus on the human response to the inexplicable—the isolation of seeing something reality refuses to acknowledge.
     
    What you will encounter in the dark:
    
    Systemic Glitches: Experience fractures in time, phantom phone calls, and media that refuses to stay fixed.
    Cosmic Dread: Discover a presence that persists across decades, suggesting our lives are being observed or corrected.
    Interactive Mystery: Navigate a curated experience where one story belongs to the narrator, blurring the line between fiction and confession.
    
     
    A shadowed figure guides you through these ten encounters, acting as both curator and participant. Their eventual revelation challenges the safety of the listener, transforming the audiobook from a set of eerie anecdotes into a meditation on fate and surveillance.
     
    Prepare to question whether the pattern is in the recording, or currently unfolding in the room with you.

    VICIOUS. VINDICTIVE. VENGEFUL. 
    SOME SINS CAN'T BE FORGIVEN. 
      
    A catastrophic fire drags gay speakeasy owner Dash Parker into the treacherous underworld of Little Italy — where people are seduced and imprisoned by their own vices. 
    When his club's doorman suffers a devastating loss, Dash must learn if the fire is connected to a sordid gambling den and the predatory family that runs it, or to a secret society that many hoped was long dead. Untangling a decade's worth of lies between a terrified father, a wily widow, and an enigmatic spiritualist pushes him to the limit. And there's still the crooked cop who's chasing after the loose ends of a crime that Dash and his friends thought they'd buried. 
    The threat of prison. The pain of penitence. The reckoning of the past. And Dash has to free himself of all these ghosts before more lives are lost. 
    With this third installment in the Hidden Gotham series, Chris Holcombe cements his status as the author of "honest-to-goodness pulp fiction at its gayest!" (Amazon Reviewer)
