Beschreibung

During the hot, dry summer of 1988, in a forgotten neighborhood known as the riverside, seventeen-year-old Shinogaki Toma is entangled in a desperate struggle against what he believes to be his fate to become his sadistic father. Consumed by a fear that he will harm his girlfriend, Toma's downward spiral into depression and instability becomes increasingly intense. Toma's mother left his father long ago and now lives nearby as a fishmonger. Using the hook that replaced the hand she lost during wartime bombings, she guts the eels Toma catches in the sewage-filled river for his father to eat. Things come to a head when Kotoko, his father's live in girlfriend, becomes pregnant and makes the decision to leave the riverside for a better life.
Translated from Japanese by Kalau Almony, Tanaka Shinya's Akutagawa Prize-winning masterpiece, Cannibals, sold over 200,000 copies in Japan and was adapted into a movie by Cannes Film Festival-winner Shinji Aoyama.

    The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) published by Arkham House posthumously in 1943 in the collection Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, it was completed on January 22, 1927 and was unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

    In Edgar Allan Poe’s gripping tale of survival and cosmic terror, A Descent into the Maelström plunges listeners into a tempest of elemental fury and existential dread. Set amidst the wild Norwegian coast, the story follows an old fisherman who recounts the nightmarish experience that turned his hair white and changed his life forever. 
    As a violent hurricane wrecks his fishing boat, he and his brothers are dragged toward the Moskoe-strom—a vast, apocalyptic whirlpool capable of swallowing ships whole. But amidst the chaos, a keen observation about how different objects behave in the vortex offers him a desperate shot at survival. 
    Told with Poe’s signature intensity and philosophical depth, this psychological maritime thriller explores mankind’s insignificance in the face of nature’s overwhelming power. A stunning blend of science, suspense, and Gothic atmosphere, it remains one of Poe’s most visually powerful and underrated works.

    👻 Chef Isabelle "Belle" Beaumont thought she'd bought her dream restaurant—a historic bistro with original brick ovens and antique charm. What the real estate agent failed to mention was the permanent resident: a 1920s gourmet ghost who criticizes her seasoning and rearranges her kitchen tools. Belle learns to coexist with her spectral sous-chef until a food critic dies after eating at her restaurant, poisoned by a dish she swears she never prepared. With her business on the line and the police suspicious, Belle must partner with her ghostly roommate to investigate. Together, they dig into century-old recipes and modern rivalries, uncovering a culinary conspiracy that connects the present murder to a unsolved poisoning from the Roaring Twenties. But when Belle gets too close to the truth, she discovers some recipes are meant to stay secret—permanently.
