Sixteen-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she's a criminal. No, she's a Nightmare. Literally. Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother's infamy, is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker's house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He's hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn't get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. Then Eli's dream comes true. Now Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli's dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she's up to and marks her as the next target. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Tentacles Longer Than Night written by Eugene Thacker and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our contemporary horror stories are written in a world where there seems little faith, lost hope, and no salvation. All that remains is the fragmentary and occasionally lyrical testimony of the human being struggling to confront its lack of reason for being in the vast cosmos. This is the terrain of the horror genre. Eugene Thacker explores this situation in Tentacles Longer Than Night. Extending the ideas presented in his book In The Dust of This Planet, Thacker considers the relationship between philosophy and the horror genre. But instead of taking fiction as the mere illustration of ideas, Thacker reads horror stories as if they themselves were works of philosophy, driven by a speculative urge to question human knowledge and the human-centric view of the world, ultimately leading to the limit of the human - thought undermining itself, in thought. Tentacles Longer Than Night is the third volume of the "horror of philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume, In The Dust of This Planet, and the second volume, Starry Speculative Corpse.

Download or read book Nightmare Movies written by Kim Newman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now over twenty years old, the original edition of Nightmare Movies has retained its place as a true classic of cult film criticism. In this new edition, Kim Newman brings his seminal work completely up-to-date, both reassessing his earlier evaluations and adding a second part that assess the last two decades of horror films with all the wit, intelligence and insight for which he is known. Since the publication of the first edition, horror has been on a gradual upswing, and taken a new and stronger hold over the film industry. Newman negotiates his way through a vast back-catalogue of horror, charting the on-screen progress of our collective fears and bogeymen from the low budget slasher movies of the 60s, through to the slick releases of the 2000s, in a critical appraisal that doubles up as a genealogical study of contemporary horror and its forebears. Newman invokes the figures that fuel the ongoing demand for horror - the serial killer; the vampire; the werewolf; the zombie - and draws on his remarkable knowledge of the genre to give us a comprehensive overview of the modern myths that have shaped the imagination of multiple generations of cinema-goers. Nightmare Movies is an invaluable companion that not only provides a newly updated history of the darker side of film but a truly entertaining guide with which to discover the less well-trodden paths of horror, and re-discover the classics with a newly instructed eye.

Download or read book Dream A Monster That Loves written by Mons Erony and published by Boruma Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a shadow that comes to her bed at night, an invisible thing that sits on her chest and tells her that if she's good and quiet, it will make her feel good. She would nod and be good. She has never not been good before. She doesn't know what saying no would do, but saying yes means it would touch her all over, and make her feel so much more than good. The dreams started after her eighteenth birthday and she thinks it's just her imagination, just very weird dreams. But then the marks on her body start bleeding into reality and the family doctor has her immediately institutionalized. A part of her is worried that it's all just in her head and they would find something wrong with her. A bigger part of her is worried that they will find out that it’s real and just how much she loves it. ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~ "You can just click the emergency button here to let us know if something's wrong, okay?" she continues. "And tonight, I'll be the one sitting on the other side of the glass to observe your sleeping patterns, so there's nothing you need to be afraid of." Winter smiles at her gratefully, "That's very reassuring. Thank you." She doesn't look too reassured though. If anything, she looks a bit worried. Were the others right? She seems too sweet to be making up medical conditions. She seems to be eating well but somehow is still losing weight. The blood work will be done tomorrow, but for tonight, she will be put under observation. She wasn't being entirely truthful about being on the other side of the glass to watch, though. That would take up too much time and she has other patients that she needs to keep an eye out on. She checks in on Scott first, who suffers from insomnia and is here under some sort of medical study. He is taking placebos tonight, so she doesn't expect him to fall asleep. She thinks it's cruel to put an insomniac on placebos, but apparently they need to make sure that the trial medication they have prescribed him with are actually effective. She's just a nurse. She doesn't make the rules around here. She moves onto a young boy who suffers from night terrors, an elderly man who has been complaining of chest pains in the middle of the night, and several more patients with different symptoms before finally stopping into Winter's room. Her blood runs cold. The young woman is asleep, eyes closed, chest rising and falling lightly, blond hair around her head like a halo, but she is not alone. There is a man standing by her bed, watching her sleep. At first glance, she thought she was looking at one of the younger doctors, but he is not in the standard scrubs. He is overdressed in his three-piece suit. That's the Grim Reaper, her thoughts tell her. You’re seeing things, the practical part of her mind immediately amends. Except the more she looks, the more she realizes there's something wrong with the picture. He has a shadow that is too dark and too big. It spreads out from behind him, growing bigger the longer she stares at him, swallowing the light and dropping the room into a shadow, a black emptiness. She rubs her eyes and realizes that it's not an optical illusion. The shadow is growing bigger, reaching out and curling around the room, like branches of a tree reaching out towards the moon in the darkness, except the moon is the light that is illuminating the room and that light is quickly disappearing. He is going to swallow the poor girl up, she thinks to herself in panic and lunges forward, forgetting protocol completely as she bangs on the glass mirror. "Stop that!" she says, as though that's enough to stop the man- the creature, from doing what he's doing. He hasn't done anything yet. "Stop!" she screams again, louder this time, and then has the mental capacity to press the speaker by the side of the window. "Sir, you have to leave the room right now! You're not allowed in there," she says, her voice shaking. The tip of her finger is pressing the button so harshly that the tip of her nail loses blood flow, going pale and cold. She is aware that she's shaking lightly, though she's not sure what she's more afraid of, that the man would hurt the girl, or that he would come out here and hurt her.
