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.

We Are A Haunting - A Novel

Tyriek White

2023 First Novel Prize - Winner 
"What a beautiful, haunting and hued narrative of American living. I’m in love with this story and the way Tyriek White breathes life into these characters." —Jacqueline Woodson, MacArthur Fellow and author of Another Brooklyn 
 
A poignant debut for readers of Jesmyn Ward and Jamel Brinkley, We Are a Haunting follows three generations of a working class family and their inherited ghosts: a story of hope and transformation. 
 
In 1980’s Brooklyn, Key is enchanted with her world, glowing with her dreams. A charming and tender doula serving the Black women of her East New York neighborhood, she lives, like her mother, among the departed and learns to speak to and for them. Her untimely death leaves behind her mother Audrey, who is on the verge of losing the public housing apartment they once shared. Colly, Key’s grieving son, soon learns that he too has inherited this sacred gift and begins to slip into the liminal space between the living and the dead on his journey to self-realization. 
 
In the present, an expulsion from school forces Colly across town where, feeling increasingly detached and disenchanted with the condition of his community, he begins to realize that he must, ultimately, be accountable to the place he is from. After college, having forged an understanding of friendship, kinship, community, and how to foster love in places where it seems impossible, Colly returns to East New York to work toward addressing structural neglect and the crumbling blocks of New York City public housing he was born to; discovering a collective path forward from the wreckages of the past. A supernatural family saga, a searing social critique, and a lyrical and potent account of displaced lives, We Are a Haunting unravels the threads connecting the past, present, and future, and depicts the palpable, breathing essence of the neglected corridors of a pulsing city with pathos and poise.
