Lua Prata
by Rebecca A. Rogers Isabel NigriPara Candra Lowell, uma garota de dezessete anos de idade, o último ano do ensino médio deveria ser a melhor época de sua vida. Não deveria incluir ser despachada para a casa de seus tios para seu 'próprio bem'. O que quer que isso seja. Só tem más notícias dessa experiência - quando ela descobre que irá de humana para lobisomem em alguns meses. Juntando isso com um poder único herdado. Na casa de seus tios, Candra é aterrorizada por pesadelos de uma floresta sussurrante e olhos brilhantes, e um vulto sombrio, que lhe deixa um aviso - ela precisa sair da cidade. Candra tenta ignorar as imagens assombrantes, mas quando o vulto sombrio aparece do lado de fora de sua casa, Candra percebe que deveria ter obedecido. Candra descobre o significado dos avisos do perseguidor quando descobre que é o novo alvo favorito de uma matilha rival. Ela não é somente um lobisomem - ela é um lobisomem no meio de uma guerra que faz com que os Montéquios e os Capuletos pareçam melhores amigos. Ela também fez as coisas ficarem ainda piores ao se apaixonar por seu pior inimigo. Além disso, a matilha rival quer o poder que Candra receberá no seu aniversário de dezoito. Para proteger seus amigos e sua família, Candra não pode correr ou fugir; ela deve encarar seus inimigos, mesmo que isso signifique a morte.

Quinhentos anos atrás, os irmãos Alaric e Ulric trabalhavam incansavelmente na fazenda de seu pai para manter seus estomagos cheios e vender o que sobrava por salários baixos. Com a rebelião acordando no norte da Inglaterra e um país em guerra pelo trono, a melancolia sentida por tanto tempo por Alaric e Ulric finalmente se dissipa quando uma família nova chega a cidade. Os pais de Daciana tiram-na de Londres para começar uma vida nova em Colchester. Aqui, ela não será levada para festas decorativas e bailes elegantes; ela terá que se esforçar com trabalho duro. Mas seus pensamentos de fugir da cidade pitoresca diminuem quando ela conhece Ulric. Juntos, é como se estivessem exatamente onde deveriam. Durante uma caçada noturna por um lobo, Ulric e Daciana são atacados. Antes que seus corpos possam ceder o animal selvagem dentro deles, a bruxa da cidade diz que tem a cura. Ao invés de curar suas feridas, ela coloca uma maldição em Ulric e Daciana, para que eles vivam com o que realmente são. Em uma cidade onde segredos não podem ser mantidos e traição corre fundo, Ulric e Daciana são caçados como os monstros em que se transformaram, até por aqueles que amam.
LT's Theory of Pets
by Stephen KingL.T. has a theory about pets, particularly his Siamese cat. It had been their cat not just his cat, but that was until he came home one day to find a note on the fridge from his wife saying she had left him. From this simple beginning, Stephen King spins a tale as compelling as anything he's written, and on this audio he reveals himself as as a gifted live performer as well. Recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London, LT's Theory of Pets is unique: a story not available in book form being read to an audience who will never forget the night they sat enthralled by the world's master storyteller.(p) 1998 Hodder & Stoughton

LoveorTheWitchesofWindwardCircle
by Carlos AllendeVenice, California Home to the broken, the dispossessed, and other scary folk. In our prayers, we mispronounce the words of the paternoster; we curse the womb of the anomalous woman; we deny Christ and the Eucharist, and we praise Pilate’s decision every Friday. Instead of fasting during Lent, we offer our bodies and souls to our master, Satan. Nineteen-year-old Josie García is torn between true love with a down-and-out poet and the monetary stability that only a rich husband can provide. She owes rent--two months--and while her little landlady is docile enough to pretend that she has forgotten about the money, she’s also a self-taught witch, planning to chop Josie’s head off and use it as the main ingredient in a potion to recover her lost youth and become the beautiful woman she never was. Creepy, campy, and yet incredibly lyrical, Love, or the Witches of Windward Circle is a wildly imaginative tale that spans five decades, connecting the otherworldly occult to the out-of-this-world bohemia of fiftiies Venice Beach.

And they're still being hunted--only this time, demons aren't their only predators. Ingrid's blood is special: it bestows the power to command gargoyles.

Lovecraft's Innsmouth (Cthulhu Apocalypse, Vol. I)
by Claudio Vergnani Clara Marco MurriaSe trataba simplemente de acompañar al profesor Franco Brandellini (este era el nombre del cliente) durante una semana en un pequeño pueblo para turistas en la costa de Massachusetts, donde se había reconstruido para uso y disfrute de los bobos (esta era por otra parte la explicación de Vergy) la Innsmouth del libro "La sombra sobre Innsmouth" de H.P. Lovecraft. El nombre de las instalaciones era de una originalidad abrumadora: "Lovecraft's Innsmouth". "Bueno", dijo Vergy, "han construido esta especie de Disneylandia que copia al pie de la letra la ciudad del libro. Las chozas en ruinas, los callejones, el hotel cochambroso, la iglesia de la orden de... ¿Cómo se llamaba ese imbécil con las escalas con el que los ciudadanos terminan el habitual pacto blasfemo? " Regresé con la memoria a la escuela secundaria. "Dagón, creo. Se había puesto en contacto con él un capitán del lugar que había estado en no se qué sitio exótico y había oído hablar de esta criatura que, al módico precio de un sacrificio humano, garantizaría pescado, oro y coños para todos los años venideros". "Eso, algo así. Espera, ésta te va a gustar: por la calle van incluso los extras caracterizados como los habitantes del libro. Unos esmirriados que andan renqueantes, apestando a pescado y llevan una máscara de bacalao en vez de la cara. Vale, no te lo vas a creer, pero parece que hay muchos fans de esta basura y nuestro profesor es uno de ellos. Y quiere dar el salto a disfrutar de tamaña belleza. Tu y yo tenemos que acompañarle y protegerle. Por qué, no lo sé." "Parece un trabajo practicable." "Ya. El problema es que dijeron lo mismo del desembarco de Normandía."
Lovecraft Unbound, 2nd Edition
by Ellen Datlow Joyce Carol Oates Nick Mamatas Laird Barron William Browning SpencerThe stories are legendary, the characters unforgettable, the world horrible and disturbing. Howard Phillips Lovecraft may have been a writer for only a short time, but the creations he left behind after his death in 1937 have shaped modern horror more than any other author in the last two centuries: the shambling god Cthulhu, and the other deities of the Elder Things, the Outer Gods, and the Great Old Ones, and Herbert West, Reanimator, a doctor who unlocked the secrets of life and death at a terrible cost. In Lovecraft Unbound, more than twenty of today's most prominent writers of literature and dark fantasy tell stories set in or inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

The Lovecraft Squad: Dreaming (Lovecraft Squad #3)
by Stephen JonesThe third volume in the new interconnected trilogy that reveals the origins of “The Lovecraft Squad”—a super-secret worldwide organization dedicated to battling the eldritch monstrosities given form in H. P. Lovecraft’s fevered imagination. In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. The Armies of the Night are rising. Such clandestine cults as the Olde Fellowes and the Esoteric Order of Dagon, who worship a group of ancient deities called the Great Old Ones, are harnessing occult powers to open the doorways to the Dreamscape and other dimensions beyond space and time. Now something big is coming—something that is already sowing the seeds of madness and chaos into the psyche of the world—and only the agents of the Human Protection League stand between this rising tide of evil and the enslavement and eventual destruction of the human race itself . . . Set against such historic events as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, San Francisco’s “Summer of Love,” the first Moon landing, the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, and the Watergate break-in, the dedicated members of the Lovecraft Squad battle supernatural threats all across the world—and from beyond the stars. Featuring original contributions by: Stephen Baxter, Brian Hodge, Sean Hogan, Lisa Morton, Kim Newman, Reggie Oliver, John Llewellyn Probert, Lynda E. Rucker, Angela Slatter, and Michael Marshall Smith.
The Lovecraft Squad: Waiting (Lovecraft Squad #2)
by Stephen JonesThe new book in the groundbreaking series that reveals the origins of "The Lovecraft Squad”—a super-secret worldwide organization dedicated to battling the eldritch monstrosities given form in H. P. Lovecraft’s fevered imagination. In April 1936, Lovecraft’s novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth was first published. Written five years earlier, but oddly rejected by every magazine it was ever submitted to, it accurately described a series of events that actually happened in February 1928, when federal government agents raided the ancient Massachusetts seaport of Innsmouth and attempted to eradicate a deviant race of ichthyoid creatures which had been interbreeding with the human population for decades, if not centuries. There was no way that the reclusive pulp writer could have known so much about a case where the details had been withheld for fear of creating a panic among the public. Following these startling revelations, the F.B.I. went back and investigated more closely into the stories that Lovecraft was publishing as “fiction.” Incredibly, it soon began to emerge that the events in Innsmouth were not a solitary event—and the monstrosities the author described really did exist. To combat these cosmic horrors, the Human Protection League (H.P.L.) was established to investigate and combat these otherworldly invaders. Down through the decades since, the only defense that has stood between humanity and these creatures of chaos are the agents of the H.P.L.—or, as they are sometimes known to those few who are aware of their existence: The Lovecraft Squad.
The Lovecraft Squad: Rising (Lovecraft Squad #4)
by Stephen Jones“Series creator Jones continues the adventures of the Lovecraft Squad, more properly known as the Human Protection League, in this entertaining shared-world anthology that marries fiction to historical events.” —Publishers Weekly From its new headquarters, the Human Protection League (colloquially known as “The Lovecraft Squad”) must regroup against the rising tide of supernatural threats from such clandestine cults as The Olde Fellowes and The Esoteric Order of Dagon, who worship a group of ancient deities known as the Great Old Ones. As their unholy acolytes prepare to resurrect these multi-dimensional gods from their imprisonment beneath the earth and beyond the stars, the universe hovers on the brink of an Eldritch War such as it has never known before. The only thing that may stand between victory or the enslavement and eventual destruction of the human race itself is a man out of his own time—a writer, a visionary, a dreamer on the night-side . . . With contributions by: Peter Atkins, Stephen Baxter, Mike Chinn, Adrian Cole, Brian Hodge, Lisa Morton, Thana Niveau, Reggie Oliver, John Llewellyn Probert, Angela Slatter, Michael Marshall Smith, Steve Rasnic Tem, and Jo Fletcher.
