Mudman (The Golem Chronicles #1)
by Hunter A. JamesThe author of the Yancy Lazarus series introduces a golem forged from the ashes of WWII in “a dark tale of vengeance and redemption” (Domino Finn, author of the Black Magic Outlaw series). Levi Adams is a soft-spoken, middle-aged Mennonite man—at least he tries to be when he’s not murdering people. Levi’s a golem, a Mudman, crafted from the muck, mire, and corpses of a World War II concentration camp and saddled with a divine commission to dole out judgment on those who shed innocent blood. But now, after seventy years as a cold-blooded murder machine, he’s turned to AA meetings and church services to help change his grisly nature. Until he runs across a wounded girl, Sally Ryder, during one of his “hunting expeditions.” Someone is attempting to revive a pre-Babylonian murder god, and the road to rebirth is paved with dead bodies. Lots and lots of them. Now, Levi must protect Sally—the key to an unspeakable resurrection—and defeat a Nazi mage from his murky past, one who holds a terrible secret about the Mudman’s unorthodox birth. It’s a secret Levi would pay anything to uncover: maybe even Sally’s life. If Levi isn’t careful, he may end up turning into the monster he always imagined himself to be. “A timeless tale of striving against evil . . . Highly recommended if you like paranormal thrillers, psychological thrillers and books such as Jeff Lindsey’s Dexter Morgan series, Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter books, the TV show Supernatural.” —Port Jericho “A mash of styles and creative ideas, blending religious mythology from Jewish and Christian beliefs alongside Nazi atrocities and supernatural ghouls.” —TheBookBeard’s Blog

La mujer de Huguenin: Cuentos fantásticos
by M. P. ShielSeis relatos fantásticos de Shiel, una muestra sobrecogedora del poderoso estilo de uno de los máximos exponentes de este género literario. «Con este volumen se inician las publicaciones del Reino de Redonda, minúscula y deshabitada isla antillana de la que el autor, Matthew Phipps Shiel (1865-1947), fue coronado primer rey en 1880, dando lugar a una curiosa "dinastía literaria" que aún continúa. »Nacido en la vecina isla volcánica de Montserrat, Shiel completó su educación en Inglaterra, donde enseñó Matemáticas, estudió Medicina y se hizo políglota antes de dedicarse por entero a la literatura. Hoy es uno de los más admirados y a la vez más ocultos maestros del género fantástico. Algunas de sus novelas están consideradas como precedentes innegables de lo que más tarde se llamó "ciencia-ficción", y sus cuentos -de los que La mujer de Huguenin es una muestra antológica- fueron elogiados por colegas tan dispares y respetables como Dashiell Hammett, Lovecraft, Arthur Machen y H.G. Wells, quienes vieron en él a uno de los mejores continuadores de Poe, pero también de Julio Verne, de Conan Doyle, del Barón Corvo, de Villiers de l'Isle Adam y hasta de Baudelaire. »La presente edición incluye, a modo de apéndices, las listas completas de los "pares literarios" nombrados por los diferentes reyes de Redonda.»Xavier Marías M.P. Shiel según sus contemporáneos:«Colosal... brillante.»H.G. Wells «Un mago.»Dashiell Hammett «Si por genio entendemos ideas asombrosas, destellos de imaginación verdadera, originalidad desbocada, entonces debemos reconocérselo.»J.B. Priestley «Habla de un mundo maravilloso, mucho más desenfrenado del que Poe soñara.»Arthur Machen «La gente sensata debería tener la obra completa de Shiel.»Rebecca West «Sus relatos me emocionaron. Un erudito, un lingüista, un inventor,un estilista.»Arnold Bennett «Con su genio ardiente, Shiel es el mejor escritor romántico que hay hoy vivo en Inglaterra. En verdad no hay nadie como él.»Hugh Walpole «La curiosa y elaborada belleza de estos cuentos recupera, en cada arabesca frase, los mismísimos acentos de Edgar Allan Poe.»Dorothy L. Sayers

The Mummy (Devil's Advocates)
by Doris V. SutherlandReleased in 1932, The Mummy moved Universal horror away from the Gothic Europe of Dracula and Frankenstein and into a land of deserts, pyramids, and long-lost tombs. In doing so the film continued a tradition of horror fiction that is almost as old as the Western pursuit of Egyptology, as numerous European and American authors from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had portrayed Egypt as a place of mystery and magic. This book examines the roots of The Mummy. It shows how the film shares many of its motifs with the work of writers such as Bram Stoker, Arthur Conan Doyle, and H. Rider Haggard, whose tales of living mummies, immortal sorcerers, and Egyptian mysticism bear strong resemblances to Universal’s movie. In addition, the book discusses how The Mummy drew upon a contemporary vogue for all things ancient Egyptian: the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered the decade before the film was released, prompting sensationalistic rumors of a curse. This is the story of what happened when Hollywood horror went to Egypt.

The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century: A Tale Of The Twenty-second Century; Volume I (Haunted Library Horror Classics)
by Jane WebbA chilling addition to the acclaimed Haunted Library of Horror Classics series, complete with annotations and extra materialsWithin a decade of the 1818 publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, another Englishwoman invented a foundational work of science fiction. Seventeen-year-old Jane Webb Loudon took up the theme of reanimation, moved it three hundred years into the future, and applied it to Cheops, an ancient Egyptian mummy. Unlike Shelley's horrifying, death-dealing monster, this revivified creature bears the wisdom of the ages and is eager to share his insights with humanity. Cheops boards a hot-air balloon and travels to 22nd-century England, where he sets about remedying the ills of a corrupt government.In recounting Cheops' attempts to put the futuristic society to rights, the young author offers a fascinating portrait of the preoccupations of her own era as well as some remarkably prescient predictions of technological advances. The Mummy! envisions a world in which automatons perform surgery, undersea tunnels connect England and Ireland, weather-control devices provide crop irrigation, and messages are transmitted with the speed of cannonball fire. The first novel to feature the concept of a living mummy, this pioneering tale offers an engaging mix of comedy, politics, and science fiction.Other books in the Haunted Library of Horror Classics series:The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston LerouxThe Beetle by Richard MarshVathek by William BeckfordThe House on the Borderland by William Hope HodgsonThe Parasite and Other Tales of Terror by Arthur Conan DoyleOf One Blood by Pauline HopkinsThe King in Yellow by Robert W.

Murcheston: The Wolf's Tale
by David HollandShrouded within the dark corners of imagination, the werewolf holds a supreme place in fable and folklore-the nightbeast, stalking its prey under the light of a full moon. Such is the popular conception. But what of the beast himself? In the novel The Wolf's Tale, a werewolf documents his own case of lycanthropy. Amid the gothic backdrop of Victorian London, the author presents three gentlemen and one woman as they share the telling of this tale-the tale of Edgar Lenoir, Duke of Darnley: aristocrat and werewolf.When Lord Darnley learns that Elizabeth is pregnant with Merry's baby, he plans a hunt in the Carpathian Mountains to escape the pain of his unrequited love. Darnely goes alone and returns a changed man . . . a man who will then change Merry's and Elizabeth's lives forever.The centerpiece of the novel is Lord Darnley's journal chronicling his months as a werewolf. He views his condition not with horror, but with a fascination he believes to be thoroughly modern. Unfortunately, he is also narcissistic, ruthless, and ultimately, seduced by his own misguided self-interest to justify as natural and healthy the bestial desires that eventually consume him.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
