Sinopse

In "The Darkness of the Sea: 20+ Horror Stories, Supernatural Tales & Fantastical Adventures," William Hope Hodgson manifests his profound fascination with the eerie and the uncanny through a collection of diverse narratives that traverse the boundaries of reality and imagination. This compendium features Hodgson'Äôs hallmark blend of gothic horror and cosmic dread, employing a vivid, atmospheric prose style that immerses readers in maritime terror and supernatural phenomena. Each tale is meticulously crafted, reflecting the early 20th-century literary context that fused existential contemplation with an exploration of humanity'Äôs relationship to the unknown depths of the sea and the universe beyond. William Hope Hodgson, an influential figure in the horror genre, drew upon his own experiences at sea, serving as a sailor and later as a writer whose life was marked by tragedy and a profound connection with the natural world. His unique perspective is evident in his exploration of liminal spaces, drawing readers into realms where the familiar is rendered disquieting. Hodgson's body of work reflects a deep engagement with themes of isolation, fear, and the supernatural, making him a pivotal precursor to later writers such as H.P. Lovecraft. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the fusion of horror and fantasy, as well as those drawn to literary traditions that probe the depths of human experience. Hodgson'Äôs masterful storytelling and rich imagery provide a haunting journey into the unknown, appealing to both fans of classical horror and contemporary fantasy alike.

    I'm Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the sea wicche, or the wicche who lives by the sea. It requires a lot more work than I'd anticipated to remodel an abandoned cannery and turn it into an art gallery & tea bar. It's coming along, though, especially with the help of a new werewolf who's joined the construction crew. He does beautiful work. His sexy, growly, bearded presence is very hard to ignore, but I'm trying. I'm not sure how such a laid-back guy got the local Alpha and his pack threatening to hunt him down and tear him apart, but we all have our secrets. And because I don't want to know his—or yours for that matter—I wear these gloves. Clairvoyance makes the simplest things the absolute worst. Trust me. Or don't. Totally up to you. 
     
     
     
    Did I mention my mother and grandmother are pressuring me to assume my rightful place on the Corey Council? That's a kind of governing triad for our ancient magical family, one that has more than its fair share of black magic practitioners. And yes, before you ask, people have killed to be on the council—one psychotic sorceress aunt comes to mind—but I have no interest in the power or politics that come with the position. I'd rather stick to my art and, in the words of my favorite sea wicche, help poor unfortunate souls. (Good luck trying to get that song out of your head now.)

    When Keira first woke alone in a strange forest, she remembered only two things: that she could speak with the dead, helping them move on from the mortal world, and that sinister mask-wearing men were hunting her. She had no idea what she’d done to earn their hatred or what dangerous secrets she may have uncovered. 
    Until now. 
    Peeling back layer upon layer of the mystery surrounding her origins, Keira has finally learned that the strange masked men work for Artec, an organization profiting off spectral energy produced by hundreds of chained, tormented souls. Their goal is to spread their macabre cemeteries across the world, using the agony of the dead to extend their power and reach―and only Keira and her loyal group of friends can stop them. But there are still mysteries to uncover in Keira’s foggy memories, and as she prepares to fight for the souls of the tormented dead, what she doesn’t know about her own past may come back to haunt her.

    Sophia Boralis is haunted by the death of her mother, her life consumed by a dark and dangerous depression that brings sinister shadows to life in her mirrors. After a desperate suicide attempt, she finds herself under the care of Harper, a psychiatrist with an almost otherworldly presence, at a mental health hospital.  
     In the hospital, Sophia meets Jeremy, a boyishly handsome man whose brokenness mirrors her own.  Yet, Jeremy harbors deep suspicions about Harper and his true intentions. Harper offers Sophia and Jeremy a chance to confront their trauma through shadow work, inviting them to his secluded mental institution where he teaches Witchcraft for therapeutic means.  There, Harper reveals his own suspicions about Jeremy to Sophia, leaving her torn between her two men, not knowing who to trust or who to fear. 
    As Sophia delves into Harper’s world, she encounters her shadows, which are actually inner demons more formidable and supernatural than she ever imagined.  In a world where trust is fragile and reality is blurred, she must navigate her way to sanity, all while her inner demons claw their way to the surface… 
      And they want out...
