Fausto
by Baron Alexander Deschauer Leandro SirianiIMAGINE UMA EXISTÊNCIA SEM CÉU OU INFERNO. Sem deuses ou demônios. Apenas nossos pensamentos e livre-arbítrio. Nessa existência, toda vida está interligada e interativa com uma consciência superior. Ao contrário de Marlowe e Goethe, Deschauer apresenta uma cosmologia e existência que são ambas individuais e completas, corpo e alma. O livre-arbítrio choca-se com o destino, o mortal com o imortal. Procura justificar os caminhos de Deus para a humanidade em uma existência desprovida de Deus. No entanto, a construção inescapável de Deus, anti-Deus e mito é abraçada pela humanidade em sua busca para encontrar sentido dentro de nossa realidade. SERIA O AMOR O SENTIDO DA VIDA? O LIVRE-ARBÍTRIO? OU A IMORTALIDADE?

Fear
by L. Ron HubbardA novel of compelling suspense. Professor James Lowry didn't believe in spirits, or witches, or demons. Not until a gentle spring evening when his hat disappeared, and suddenly he couldn't remember the last four hours of his life. Now, the quiet university town of Atworthy is changing -- slightly at first, then faster and more frighteningly each time he tries to remember. Lowry is pursued by a dark, secret evil that is turning his whole world against him while it whispers a warning from the shadows: If you find your hat you'll find your four hours. If you find your four hours then you will die... "A classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror... one of the really, really good ones." --Stephen King

Fear and Nature: Ecohorror Studies in the Anthropocene (AnthropoScene: The SLSA Book Series #8)
by Christy Tidwell Carter SolesEcohorror represents human fears about the natural world—killer plants and animals, catastrophic weather events, and disquieting encounters with the nonhuman. Its portrayals of animals, the environment, and even scientists build on popular conceptions of zoology, ecology, and the scientific process. As such, ecohorror is a genre uniquely situated to address life, art, and the dangers of scientific knowledge in the Anthropocene.Featuring new readings of the genre, Fear and Nature brings ecohorror texts and theories into conversation with other critical discourses. The chapters cover a variety of media forms, from literature and short fiction to manga, poetry, television, and film. The chronological range is equally varied, beginning in the nineteenth century with the work of Edgar Allan Poe and finishing in the twenty-first with Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro. This range highlights the significance of ecohorror as a mode. In their analyses, the contributors make explicit connections across chapters, question the limits of the genre, and address the ways in which our fears about nature intersect with those we hold about the racial, animal, and bodily "other."A foundational text, this volume will appeal to specialists in horror studies, Gothic studies, the environmental humanities, and ecocriticism.In addition to the editors, the contributors include Kristen Angierski, Bridgitte Barclay, Marisol Cortez, Chelsea Davis, Joseph K. Heumann, Dawn Keetley, Ashley Kniss, Robin L. Murray, Brittany R. Roberts, Sharon Sharp, and Keri Stevenson.
