Halloween is more than a holiday; more than a fun time of candy and costumes for the young. It is inoculated into our very being at an early age and there it remains. As we grow old, it grows dormant… but it is still there. For the lucky ones, such as us, it emerges every year, like a reanimated corpse digging its way out of graveyard earth to shamble across our souls. And we rejoice… oh, if we are the fortunate ones, we most certainly rejoice.

The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde was an immediate success and is one of Stevenson's best-selling works. Within a year of its publication, stage adaptations began in Boston and London, and soon moved all across England and then towards his home in Scotland. The novella has gone on to inspire scores of major film and stage performances. The work centers around Dr. Jekyll, one man with two personalities, one apparently good and the other evil.

Neun Erzählungen von Edward Lee, die seine obszöne literarische Klasse zeigen. Und natürlich geht es wieder um seine Lieblingsthemen: Sex, Rednecks und Monster - und das alles gewürzt mit Zynismus und blutiger Gewalt.

This is a short science-fiction horror story from Thomas Weston.

Becca was not allowed to be touched by other men, not even the tip of her fingers nor a strand of her hair. The very first time I witnessed this issue was when a male customer shook Becca’s hand when he made a hefty purchase of her designs. Anybody would have known that it was a mere form of polite gesture, but I noticed that her husband was staring at them until the customer walked out of the shop.

La verità sul caso di Mister Valdemar di Edgar Allan Poe è un viaggio nell'incubo dell'immortalità, che ti terrà inchiodato alla sedia. Entra nel macabro mondo di mesmerismo e sperimentazione medica, dove un uomo morente è trascinato in uno stato sospeso tra vita e morte. Questo racconto straordinario sfida i confini tra scienza e soprannaturale, mentre il protagonista lotta per sfuggire all'eternità in un corpo in decomposizione. Se sei pronto per un'esperienza letteraria intensa, La verità sul caso di Mister Valdemar ti svelerà gli orrori nascosti dell'immortalità.

Der Notar Gabriel Utterson spürt einer Geschichte nach, die ihm Grauen bereitet, jedoch ebenso sein Interesse weckt: das Auftauchen eines kleinwüchsigen Mannes mit erschreckend bösartigen Gesichtszügen, der ein ausgesprochen schlechtes Benehmen an den Tag legt und auch vor Gewalt nicht zurück schreckt, scheint mit der Person des respektablen Dr. Henry Jekyll verknüpft zu sein. Durch hinterlassene Aufzeichnungen bestätigt sich ein schauriger Verdacht: bei Mr. Hyde und Dr. Jekyll handelt es sich um ein und dieselbe Person.

P., affascinato dall'ipnotismo, ha più volte tentato di ipnotizzare l'amico Ernst Valdemar che, grazie al suo temperamento nervoso, è un eccellente soggetto di studio. Curioso degli effetti che il mesmerismo potrebbe avere su un uomo morente, P. vuole fare un ultimo tentativo su Valdemar, poiché quest'ultimo ora soffre di tubercolosi. Quando è sul punto di morire, P. prova ancora una volta a ipnotizzarlo aiutato da medici e assistenti. Questa è una delle storie più inquietanti di Edgar Allan Poe, in cui la suspense attanaglia il lettone fino alla fine.
