Sinopse

The Cats of Ulthar" is a short story written by American fantasy author H. P. Lovecraft in June 1920. In the tale, an unnamed narrator relates the story of how a law forbidding the killing of cats came to be in a town called Ulthar. As the narrative goes, the city is home to an old couple who enjoy capturing and killing the townspeople's cats. When a caravan of wanderers passes through the city, the kitten of an orphan (Menes) traveling with the band disappears. Upon hearing of the couple's violent acts towards cats, Menes invokes a prayer before leaving town that causes the local felines to swarm the cat-killers' house and devour them. Upon witnessing the result, the local politicians pass a law forbidding the killing of cats.

Ambrose Bierce brings us 'The Death of Halpin Frayser', an intriguing tale of a young man's increasingly spooky comings together with his mother, alive and dead...The next story  may well be Edgar Allan Poe's most famous, and it is certainly amongst his best; 'The Fall of the House of Usher' is tour de force of classic horror writing brought to life as only Renegade can do it.Following Poe's epic masterpiece is 'How it Happened'; a short and sweet piece from Arthur Conan Doyle, about a runaway car and it's impact on the narrators life.Following up is another great story from the imagination of Conan Doyle, 'Lot No. 249'. This epic story is the longest one we've released so far at over 80 minutes in length. It is also acknowledged as the story that kicked off the malevolent mummy genre, inspiring many more stories and movies. We round off with the Edgar Allan Poe's beautiful poem, 'For Annie', one of my favorites and a lovely, heartbreaking way to bring this volume to a close.So throw those logs on the fire, turn off the lights and settle in to hear some of the worlds best short horror stories, read by one of the worlds best narrators. Unless you're going to listen to the stories in the car, in which case please enjoy whilst driving safely.

    A teenage girl in foster care confronts spiritual doubt and soul-chilling terror in “a sinister and atmospheric story that will appeal to horror fans” (Booklist). 
     
    When three children in a Catholic group home are brutally murdered, the survivors are hurried into separate foster homes across Long Island. Robin Hills, a fifteen-year-old who has spent the past several years under religious care, is thrust into a new, dysfunctional family with no spiritual beliefs. No longer protected by the religion and the nun she had come to love, Robin is completely alone and enveloped in fear. 
     
    As the murders continue and Robin fears she may become the next victim, her faith increasingly falters. However, she finds solace in a budding friendship with Dennis, a boy her age living in her new foster home. Dennis’s kindness, his acceptance of Robin, and his bravery in the face of evil—born of his passion for horror movies—combine to reassure her that she’ll survive the killings. Armed with this new friendship and fueled by a rage she finally discovers within herself, Robin must find the courage and self-reliance to confront the darkest aspects of human depravity. 
     
    “Andreas’s debut novella, Angel of the Underground, will remind many horror fans of Stephen King’s first published novel, Carrie . . . Andreas’s tight and tense horror tale is a spellbinding and clever debut. He also has more on his mind than merely a straightforward thriller. His smart, sympathetic and engaging teen heroine grapples with the Catholic faith that has sustained her for so many years but now seems to have abandoned her. Proving good things come in small packages (the novel is just 165 pages), Angel of the Underground is a tight and thoughtful thriller, and a stellar introduction to a fresh new voice.” —Shelf Awareness 
     
    “The grit in Angel is laudable—as is Andreas’ determination to push our faces right up into some very uncomfortable domestic horrors.” —Rue Morgue Magazine

    We think we understand the laws of physics.We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong.When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened.For sisters Susan and Katharine Black, the day of the incursion was the day they lost everything. Their home, their parents, their sense of normalcy . . . and each other, because when the rift opened, each sister was stranded in a separate form of reality. For Susan, it was science and study and the struggle to solve the mystery of the altered physics inside the zones transformed by the incursion. For Katharine, it was monsters and mayhem and the fight to stay alive in a world unlike the world of her birth.The world has changed. The laws of physics have changed. The girls have changed. And the one universal truth of all states of changed matter is that nothing can be completely restored to what it was originally, no matter how much you might wish it could be.Nothing goes back.
