Living with her widowed father in a dreary estate in the woods of Styria, Laura has longed to have a friend with whom she can confide; a friend to bring some excitement to the overbearing serenity of her pastoral lifestyle. And then Carmilla enters her life. Left by her mother in the care of Laura's father, Carmilla is young, beautiful, playful-everything Laura had hoped to find in a companion. In fact, the lonely girl is so thrilled to have a new friend that she is willing to overlook the dark-haired beauty's strange actions...which include a disturbing, growing obsession for her lovely hostess. Carmilla, it seems, desires more than just friendship from Laura.... Featuring six black-and-white illustrations by comics artist Eliseu Gouveia, this volume includes the bonus Le Fanu tale, \"Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Starwarp Concepts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50331246887186,"sku":"9780984174119","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6dc1c5e3-f72a-4296-afe0-538e3a4719b9.jpg?v=1727810716"},{"product_id":"tales-of-mystery-and-imagination-9781406791655","title":"Tales of Mystery and Imagination","description":"This fantastic volume contains a collection of some of Edgar Allen Poe's most famous tales, including: \"The Gold-Bug\", \"Ms. Found in a Bottle\", \"A Descent into the Maelström\", \"The Fall of the House of Usher\", \"William Wilson\", \"The Murders in the Rue Morgue\", \"The Mystery of Marie Roget\", \"The Pitt and the Pendulum\", \"The Tell-Tale Heart\", \"A Tale of the Ragged Mountains\", and more.

He was idolized internationally, and adored by great authors of the day, including Byron, Walter Scott, and his greatest supporter, Charles Dickens. His works and influence have left their mark on American and even global culture. Largely misunderstood due to his relatively moderate politics, his courtly personality, and his literary sentimentalism, Irving - once America's most popular author - is due for rediscovery. His was the complex personality of an existentially anxious, emotionally complex man disturbed by his fame and haunted by loneliness. These disquieting themes course through his Gothic tales - \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,\" \"Rip Van Winkle,\" \"The Devil and Tom Walker,\" and more - tales haunted by spectres of anxiety.While infrequently counted among the great American supernaturalists - writers like Poe, Lovecraft, Hawthorne, and Bierce - Irving's fictional oeuvre is primarily devoted to speculative fiction: ghost stories, weird tales, fantasies, and horror. In fact, of the sixty-one short stories he penned, nearly forty of them have a supernatural or macabre basis. And there's far more than the Headless Horseman to frighten readers: ghost pirates, vengeful Doppelgangers, guillotined women, haunted treasure chests, hanged men's ghosts, rural superstitions, dancing furniture, portraits with moving eyes, hellhounds, goblin horses, enchanted princesses, supernatural caves of wonder, haunted paintings, ghostly nuns, spectral crusaders, and possessed bedchambers are among his many bogeys.His universe is among the sunniest in horror fiction - brighter certainly than Le Fanu's, Hodgson's, or Stoker's - but its sunnyside hides a dark posterior, engulfed in shadow and swallowed up in night. Irving is the very definition of one who whistles past a graveyard, bringing sangfroid into spaces of anxiety and self-doubt, and while his characters are grotesque, bordering on the burlesque - like the spindly Ichabod Crane, the bearded Rip Van Winkle, or the leather-trousered Bold Dragoon - they cannot entirely hide the very real fears that they represent. Irving's horrors aren't likely to make you jump, but they might just keep you awake, or fill your waking life with strange dreams. You may look twice at the twisted shadows beckoning you towards an unexplored street at night, or find yourself compelled to wander down an unfamiliar hiking trail, or staring out the window at night, questioning your life's path. At its kindest, Irving's world is one of narcotic daydreams that seduce and intoxicate; at its worst, it is waking up later that night - alone, confused, and hungover.

It was preceded and partly inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu's 1871 \"Carmilla\", about a lesbian vampire who preys on a lonely young woman, and by Varney the Vampire, a lengthy penny dreadful serial from the mid-Victorian period by James Malcolm Rymer. The image of a vampire portrayed as an aristocratic man, like the character of Dracula, was created by John Polidori in \"The Vampyre\" (1819), during the summer spent with Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley, her husband, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron in 1816. The Lyceum Theatre, where Stoker worked between 1878 and 1898, was headed by the actor-manager Henry Irving, who was Stoker's real-life inspiration for Dracula's mannerisms and who Stoker hoped would play Dracula in a stage version. Bram Stoker was an Irish novelist and short story writer, During his lifetime, he was better known as personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ancient Wisdom Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50365851074834,"sku":"9781940849188","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_01f339bc-d8fe-4deb-851e-a71cff04c648.jpg?v=1728465010"},{"product_id":"children-of-the-night-9781941147108","title":"Children of the Night","description":"'John Blackburn is today's master of horror, and this latest novel, about a village gripped by the culmination of ancient vileness, induces proper shivers.' - \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'He is certainly the best British novelist in his field and deserves the widest recognition.' - \u003ci\u003ePenguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ' A] stylish, genuinely chilling author . . . undoubtedly one of England's best practicing novelists in the tradition of the thriller novel.' - \u003ci\u003eSt. James Guide to Crime \u0026amp; Mystery Writers\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For centuries, the small English village of Dunstonholme has been the scene of mysterious tragedies.

Born in Dublin, Stoker suffered from an unknown illness as a young boy before entering school at the age of seven. He would later remark that the time he spent bedridden enabled him to cultivate his imagination, contributing to his later success as a writer. He attended Trinity College, Dublin from 1864, graduating with a BA before returning to obtain an MA in 1875. After university, he worked as a theatre critic, writing a positive review of acclaimed Victorian actor Henry Irving's production of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e that would spark a lifelong friendship and working relationship between them. In 1878, Stoker married Florence Balcombe before moving to London, where he would work for the next 27 years as business manager of Irving's influential Lyceum Theatre. Between his work in London and travels abroad with Irving, Stoker befriended such artists as Oscar Wilde, Walt Whitman, Hall Caine, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1895, having published several works of fiction and nonfiction, Stoker began writing his masterpiece \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1897) while vacationing at the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel in Cruden Bay, Scotland. Stoker continued to write fiction for the rest of his life, achieving moderate success as a novelist. Known more for his association with London theatre during his life, his reputation as an artist has grown since his death, aided in part by film and television adaptations of \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e, the enduring popularity of the horror genre, and abundant interest in his work from readers and scholars around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mint Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50382122123538,"sku":"9781513282046","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_bfd6067e-b8d9-4df8-9349-032daebd5ea2.jpg?v=1728704530"},{"product_id":"the-white-people-9781513282985","title":"The White People","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe White People\u003c\/i\u003e (1904) is a short story by Arthur Machen.

Unable to agree about the nature of good and evil, on what defines a sinner as opposed to a saint, Ambrose offers his comrade a book to borrow.

Its pages contain the diary of a young girl who, encouraged by her nurse, immerses herself in the world of magic.
