Book excerpt: H.P. Lovecraft invites you to tread where sanity fears to follow. Push open the creaking oaken door of his haunted imagination, where shadows writhe and ancient horrors stir in the unfathomable depths. Step across the threshold and into a world where cosmic dread bleeds into the mundane, and the whispers of madness echo through crumbling New England attics and sun-baked Arizona deserts. Prepare to confront the unfathomable: colossal entities from beyond the stars, writhing blasphemies that defy description, and the chilling knowledge that the universe harbors secrets that would shatter the human mind. Brace yourself for the creeping dread that seeps into every corner of these tales, the gnawing sense that reality itself is a fragile illusion, and the chilling certainty that the Great Old Ones watch, ever vigilant, from beyond the veil. Turn the page, if you dare. Let the master of cosmic horror paint your nightmares with his words, and discover the intoxicating terror that awaits within these forbidden pages. Uncover ancient secrets that gnaw at the sanity of a family haunted by their ancestral home in The Rats in the Walls. Face the unfathomable as madness grips the world after the rise of Cthulhu, a slumbering titan from beyond the stars, in The Call of Cthulhu. Embrace the abyss in the depths of the Pacific, where a lone sailor encounters the primordial horror of Dagon, father of the Deep Ones. Witness the grotesque beauty of forbidden art that bleeds from another dimension in Pickman's Model, a chilling portrait of obsession and monstrous creation. Watch vibrant life wither and twist under the touch of an alien entity in The Colour Out of Space, a tale of cosmic contamination and existential dread. Heed the whispers, if you dare. In these pages, H.P. Lovecraft weaves nightmares from moonlight and madness, beckoning you to the precipice of oblivion. Peer into the void, where ancient entities stir and sanity teeters on the brink. Do you hear the guttural chants from sunken cyclopean cities? Do you smell the briny dread of the Deep Ones rising? This is no mere fiction; it is a descent into the darkest corners of your own mind, where reality itself bends and cracks under the weight of cosmic horrors. Take the plunge. Face the abyss. But remember, once you cross the threshold, there is no turning back. Dive deeper into the abyss. This edition transcends mere text, inviting you to lose yourself in the unsettling artistry of compelling illustrations that bring Lovecraft's monstrous entities and eldritch landscapes to life. Each image whispers untold horrors, further blurring the lines between reality and nightmare. To untangle the threads of cosmic dread, accompanying study guides dissect each story's themes, symbolism, and historical context.

Download or read book Shadows written by Keanu Reeves and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What exactly is a shadow? Is it light tracing an object or the shape a body throws when it comes between a light source and a surface? Is it a metaphor for the intimate, darker side of a person's nature-as Carl Jung postulated-and the unconscious side of one's self, where daemons and secrets are kept hidden or repressed? Is it an allegorical place between darkness and light, death and living? Or is it a state of illusion, like Plato's cave? Is it a verb that means to follow or accompany, or even to spy on? Shadows, a new collaborative series by Alexandra Grant and Keanu Reeves, explores the real and symbolic nature of the shadow as image and figure of speech. Grant's photographs capture Reeves's shadow at times as a silhouette and at others as traces of light as he and the camera move together. In transforming the images into color and reversing light for dark, Grant has made the shadows themselves the source of light. Reeves's texts, written in tandem with the creation of the images, give voice to the multiple manifestations of the shadow: as a projected figure, a place of concealed emotion and an invocation to shadow play.

Download or read book In the Shadow of the Gods written by Rachel Dunne and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breathtaking talent makes her debut with this first book in a dark epic fantasy trilogy, The Bound Gods, in which a mismatched band of mortals led by a violent, secretive man must stand against a pair of resentful gods to save their world. Part Patrick Rothfuss, part Joe Abercrombie, magic and warfare collide in this powerful struggle for a broken world. Eons ago, a pair of gods known as the Twins grew powerful in the world of Fiatera, until the Divine Mother and Almighty Father exiled them, binding them deep in the earth. But the price of keeping the fire lands safe is steep. To prevent these young gods from rising again, all twins in the land must be killed at birth, a safeguard that has worked until now. Trapped for centuries, the Twins are gathering their latent powers to break free and destroy the Parents for their tyranny—to set off a fight between two generations of gods for control of the world and the mortals who dwell in it. When the gods make war, only one side can be victorious. Joros, a mysterious and cunning priest, has devised a dangerous plan to win. Over eight years, he gathers a team of disparate fighters—Scal, a lost and damaged swordsman from the North; Vatri, a scarred priestess who claims to see the future in her fires; Anddyr, a drug-addled mage wandering between sanity and madness; and Rora and Aro, a pair of twins who have secretly survived beyond the reach of the law. These warriors must learn to stand together against the unfathomable power of vengeful gods, to stop them from tearing down the sun . . . and plunging their world into darkness.
