Sinossi

In "Horror Classics - Boxed Set: 30+ Occult & Supernatural Novels and Stories," William Hope Hodgson curates an impressive anthology of chilling tales that traverse the realms of the occult and the supernatural. His distinctive literary style, characterized by an evocative use of atmosphere and a deft handling of psychological horror, immerses readers in a world where the boundaries between reality and the otherworldly blur. This collection showcases Hodgson's mastery of crafting unsettling narratives, drawing from the early 20th-century literary contexts of gothic horror and weird fiction, where existential dread intertwines with human experience in stark landscapes and eerie settings. William Hope Hodgson, often overshadowed in the pantheon of horror writers, was influenced by his own experiences at sea and his fascination with the unknown, which permeate his work. His unique perspective as a war veteran further enriches his narratives, imbuing them with layers of fear derived both from external threats and internal struggles. Hodgson's exploration of these themes illustrates a deeper reflection on humanity's confrontation with its own limitations and the unfathomable forces that may lie beyond comprehension. This anthology is a treasure trove for enthusiasts of the supernatural and scholars alike, offering a compelling exploration of fear, existentialism, and the human psyche. Readers who appreciate the rich legacy of horror literature will find this boxed set not only a collection of stories but an opportunity to engage with the profound questions of life, death, and what may lurk beyond the veil of our understanding.

Vrolyck (Unabridged)

Mark Samuel

The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
Vrolyck: I had been living in a cramped apartment out in the suburbs to the south of the city. The apartment overlooked a dingy street, invariably strewn with rubbish due to its preponderance of fast food outlets. Amongst these shabby establishments was a café which remained open for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde, August Nemo

In the Longsellers collection, you will find the most read and loved books of all time.

Published in 1890, The Picture of Dorian Gray, became a classic whenever we talk about about the superficial nature of social relationships and escapism through beauty and art.

The story is about Dorian Gray, a young man of high society, who makes a dark pact to have eternal youth while the painting with his portrait ages. Over time, his life of immoralities and abuses turns the picture into a monster. Wilde's only novel, it was subject to much controversy and criticism in its time but has come to be recognized as a classic of gothic literature.

Oscar Wilde was famous in the 1890s for his very popular plays. Wilde, who was homosexual, would also become known for being prosecuted for "indecent behavior," a charge for which he was convicted and imprisoned between the years 1895 and 1897.

This book also contains the essays Art And Morality, by Stuart Mason, and Biographical Summary, by Arthur Ransome. With this extra content the reader will find a greater understanding of the personal life, the historical context, and the polemics of this great author.

We hope you'll love this book as much we do, and don't forget to check the rest of the collection for more beloved classics.
