The Angels' Song - A Gothic Tale of Redemption and Divine Encounters in 19th-Century England

Thomas Guthrie

Beschreibung

In "The Angels' Song," Thomas Guthrie presents a profound exploration of the theological and moral implications behind the traditional Christmas narrative. Through a blend of lyrical prose and rich imagery, Guthrie captures the essence of angelic proclamations that herald the birth of Christ, inviting readers to reflect on themes of hope, redemption, and divine grace. The book is not merely a retelling of the Christmas story; it is a contemplation of faith and an appeal to the human spirit, framed within a mid-nineteenth-century Christian context that seeks to inspire both individual and communal spirituality. Thomas Guthrie, a prominent Scottish preacher, social reformer, and author, was deeply influenced by his own experiences of hardship and faith. He dedicated much of his life to charitable endeavors and advocated for the poor, aiming to address social injustices through Christian principles. His pastoral background and commitment to spreading the Gospel infuse "The Angels' Song" with a sincerity and urgency that resonates with readers seeking deeper understanding in their spiritual journeys. This book is highly recommended for anyone who yearns for a richer appreciation of the Christmas season, as well as for those exploring the intersections of theology and everyday life. Guthrie'Äôs poetic reflections are likely to rejuvenate your faith and inspire a renewed commitment to the values represented in the angels' joyful proclamation.

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

H. P. Lovecraft

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) published by Arkham House posthumously in 1943 in the collection Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, it was completed on January 22, 1927 and was unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

The House of Last Resort

Christopher Golden

The next high concept horror novel from NYT bestselling author Christopher Golden.
Across Italy there are many half-empty towns, nearly abandoned by those who migrate to the coast or to cities. The beautiful, crumbling hilltop town of Becchina is among them, but its mayor has taken drastic measures to rebuild―selling abandoned homes to anyone in the world for a single Euro, as long as the buyer promises to live there for at least five years. It’s a no-brainer for American couple Tommy and Kate Puglisi. Both work remotely, and Becchina is the home of Tommy’s grandparents, his closest living relatives. It feels like a romantic adventure, an opportunity the young couple would be crazy not to seize. But from the moment they move in, they both feel a shadow has fallen on them. Tommy’s grandmother is furious, even a little frightened, when she realizes which house they’ve bought. There are rooms in an annex at the back of the house that they didn’t know were there. The place makes strange noises at night, locked doors are suddenly open, and when they go to a family gathering, they’re certain people are whispering about them, and about their house, which one neighbor refers to as The House of Last Resort. Soon, they learn that the home was owned for generations by the Church, but the real secret, and the true dread, is unlocked when they finally learn what the priests were doing in this house for all those long years…and how many people died in the strange chapel inside. While down in the catacombs beneath Becchina…something stirs.
