Sinossi

In "The Darkness of the Sea: 20+ Horror Stories, Supernatural Tales & Fantastical Adventures," William Hope Hodgson masterfully weaves an intricate tapestry of horror and the supernatural, drawing readers into a world where the unfathomable lurks just beyond the veil of reality. Known for his atmospheric prose and evocative descriptions, Hodgson's stories explore themes of isolation, the unknown, and humanity's insignificance in the face of cosmic horrors. This collection highlights his unique ability to blend maritime elements with gothic terror, positioning him within the early 20th-century horror tradition and harkening back to a time when sea narratives were rife with adventure and dread. Hodgson, an early pioneer in the horror genre, was deeply influenced by his experiences at sea and his fascination with the supernatural. His background as a sailor imbued his narratives with authenticity, while his own struggles with existential questions added layers of philosophical depth. These elements come together in this collection, reflecting his preoccupation with mortality and the human condition, making Hodgson an often overlooked yet pivotal figure in horror literature. I highly recommend "The Darkness of the Sea" to enthusiasts of supernatural fiction and the macabre. Hodgson's skillful storytelling invites readers to explore the shadowy realms of their imagination, while his acute psychological insights resonate with those seeking more than mere thrills. This collection promises to enchant, terrify, and provoke thoughtful reflection.

    Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the  
    ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. 
     
    As a lone portal to the living world for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. Her taboo and psychologically harrowing ability was what drove her away from the  
    Navajo reservation, where she was raised by her grandmother. It has isolated her from friends and gotten her in trouble with the law. 
     
    And now it might be what gets her killed. 
     
    When Rita is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim—who insists she was murdered—latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her  
    killers, and Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels. Written in sparkling, gruesome prose, Shutter is an explosive debut from one of crime fiction’s most powerful new voices.
