The Haunting of Hill House is a seminal work in the horror genre, considered one of the finest ghost stories of the 20th century. The novel follows the story of four main characters: Dr. John Montague, an investigator of the supernatural; Eleanor Vance, a shy young woman with a history of encounters with the paranormal; Theodora, a flamboyant and possibly telepathic artist; and Luke Sanderson, the young heir to the eerie Hill House.

Dr. Montague, seeking to find scientific evidence of the supernatural, rents Hill House for a summer and invites guests with past experiences of paranormal events. Eleanor and Theodora are among those who accept his invitation. Once there, the group starts to experience a range of strange occurrences, including unseen noises, ghostly apparitions, and mysterious writings on the walls. Eleanor, in particular, seems more attuned to these phenomena, which may be causing her to lose her grip on reality.

Shirley Jackson masterfully creates a sense of terror, not through overt horror, but by weaving the mysterious events of the house with the complex psyches of her characters. A finalist for the National Book Award and adapted into films, a TV series, and a play, The Haunting of Hill House remains an essential read for fans of the genre.

Behind the children's pet cemetery lies another graveyard, one from which the dead return. The Creeds are about to discover that sometimes, dead is indeed better, as they are drawn into a sinister world where the line between the living and the dead is frighteningly thin.

The governess soon encounters half-seen figures who glare from dark towers and dusty windows - silent, foul phantoms that increasingly come closer, threatening the innocence of her charges.

The governess realizes with horror that these fiendish creatures want the children, aiming to corrupt their bodies, possess their minds, and own their souls. But the terror deepens when it becomes evident that Miles and Flora have no fear of the evil that stalks them, for they desire the presence of the walking dead just as fervently as the dead yearn for them.

Oscar Wilde's only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. In this celebrated work, Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England.

For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.

For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals—pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod.

A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return—the Covenant.

They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...

"There is always a price to pay." So Darius warned her when she accepted a position with his traveling troupe. Gazing mesmerized at the merciless slash of his mouth, the implacable resolve on his face, the soulless emptiness of his black eyes, Tempest was afraid to ask what it was.

She had always been different, apart from others. From the moment his arms closed around her, enveloping her in a sorcerer's spell, Darius seemed to understand her unique gifts. But did his kiss offer the love and belonging she sought, or a danger more potent than his own panthers?

Somewhere deep inside herself, Tempest realized she knew the answer. She had no choice but to accept the velvet stroke of his tongue, submit to the white-hot heat piercing her skin, and welcome an erotic pleasure like no other.

They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...

He ran with the wolves...
Materialized from the mists...
Hijacked the very heavens to his whims...

He was the dark guardian of his people. So how, after centuries of a bleak, soulless existence, had he, Lucian Daratrazanoff, suddenly come to crave petite, curvy, colorful lady cop Jaxon Montgomery, who foolishly made it her life's work to protect others from harm?

Fiercely daring, Jaxx would sacrifice anything to shield others—particularly since a deadly menace dogged her every footstep, threatening all who got close to her. And strangely seductive, piercingly erotic Lucian was no exception.

Lucian was powerfully, perilously mesmerizing—oddly gentle yet clearly a born predator. He had vowed to possess her, to guard her for all time. Yet with his every thirsty kiss, was he drawing Jaxon more deeply into danger...and his dark, mysterious desires?

Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on that there are things she'd rather not know. And now that she's an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she'd rather not see—like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one.

There's a thing or two she'd like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet—Felipe de Castro, the vampire king of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It's the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric's front yard—especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank.

Now it's up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl's fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who's set out to make Sookie's world come crashing down.

HOUDINI HEART harkens back to the masters of suspenseful supernatural horror: Poe, Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, but speaks with a wholly fresh voice. Once caught in its pages, there's no escaping Longfellow's terrible tale. Weeks ago, she was one of Hollywood's biggest writers, wed to one of its greatest stars.

But life is never as you dream it, and River House isn't what she'd always imagined it was. Intense, literary, and harrowing, Houdini Heart is a tale of bone-chilling horror, emotional torment, and psychological terror.

That’s how it is for Joss, a high school girl who does everything in her power to go unnoticed. She's incredibly bright, but strives to maintain grades that are good yet not too good. She doesn't participate in school activities, keeps quiet in class, and eats by herself. Despite her longtime crush on Dylan, she wouldn't even think about trying to talk to him. Joss doesn't make friends of any kind, because friends can draw attention, friends can make you slip up, friends can make things complicated.

When new girl, Kat, steps in to rescue Joss from an uncomfortable situation with Marco, the class jerk, she doesn’t realize what she’s getting into, and it blows up in her face. Joss finds herself torn between a desire to do the right thing, to find some way to help a girl who was kind to her, and her need to mind her own business and fade into the background.

But what's up with Dylan's sudden interest? As Marco’s best friend, can he be trusted at all? It's bad enough when a girl's got to worry about friends, boys, over-protective dads, and shoes that pinch, but when you throw in blackmail, government agents with guns, and really annoying little sisters... that's just about too much to handle, even for a girl with an ass-kicking superpower.

Na sequência dos dramáticos acontecimentos que encerram o primeiro volume desta saga, A Última Feiticeira, Catelyn é levada com os seus captores para a Terra Antiga. Aí, a jovem feiticeira descobre os fios que entretecem o seu próprio destino com o daqueles que agora a acolhem. Descobre igualmente que aquele viquingue que a salvou de uma morte certa é alguém que ela já tinha vislumbrado em intrigantes visões. Throst, filho de Thorgrim, é agora o seu senhor. Mas os segredos do Universo, guardados no topo da Montanha Sagrada são indiferentes aos desígnios humanos.

Quando o sangue derramado no mar clama por vingança, a heroína enfrenta a mais difícil das decisões: regressar à Grande Ilha, para derrotar Gwendalin e salvar o seu povo, ou permanecer na Terra Antiga, livrar o Guerreiro-Lobo da maldição que o condena, e ajudá-lo na sua grande missão?

There is need. And then there is Fate... Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome—especially when Alexandria's "other half" is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom—so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do—and sacrifice—for her.

When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies—lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon... and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn’t blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude... or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.
