A Chicago cul-de-sac is about to get a new neighbor...of the demonic kind.
Amy Foster considers herself lucky. After she left the city and moved to the suburbs, she found her place quickly with neighbors Liz, Jess, and Melissa, snarking together from the outskirts of the PTA crowd. One night during their monthly wine get-together, the crew concoct a plan for a clubhouse She Shed in Liz's backyard-a space for just them, no spouses or kids allowed.
But the night after they christen the She Shed, things start to feel . . . off. They didn't expect Liz's little home-improvement project to release a demonic force that turns their quiet enclave into something out of a nightmare. And that's before the homeowners' association gets wind of it.
Even the calmest moms can't justify the strange burn marks, self-moving dolls, and horrible smells surrounding their possessed friend, Liz. Together, Amy, Jess, and Melissa must fight the evil spirit to save Liz and the neighborhood . . . before the suburbs go completely to hell.
The Murders in the Rue Morgue' is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841. Poe referred to it as a 'tale of ratiocination' featuring the brilliant deductions of C. Auguste Dupin; it is today regarded as one of the first detective stories and is almost certainly the first locked room mystery. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women.
Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States, and of American literature.

Pater John Ermin mag den alten Mann zuerst nicht ernst nehmen - bis dieser vor seinen Augen von einem Blitz eeschlagen wird und verbrenntDie Verwirrung ist groß, als ein Forscherteam einen verwirrten Mann in der Nähe Roms findet, dessen Erinnerungen scheinbar ins 16.

Some people are made to save lives. Some damn well have to live with it. Life is for feeding those who live in darkness, hungry and gnashing their teeth, who have just discovered an endless feast.
'Some man's teeth are swords.
Its fangs are swords that

The poor of mankind.'
First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is perhaps the most famous example of the gothic horror novella. Gabriel John Utterson, a sombre London lawyer, becomes concerned for the safety and sanity of his friend and client Dr. Henry Jekyll, after the doctor begins associating with an unseemly young man named Edward Hyde. Following a spate of crimes, including blackmail and murder, and with all fingers pointing at Hyde, the lawyer sets out to free his friend from the dreadful influence of his new acquaintance.

- En Español Latino- Es un cuento de horror del escritor estadounidense Edgar Allan Poe, publicado en el periódico Saturday Evening Post de Filadelfia en su número del 19 de agosto de 1843. La crítica lo considera uno de los más espeluznantes de la historia de la literatura.
Audiolibro en castellano. Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, Estados Unidos, 1809 - Baltimore, id., 1849) Uno de los maestros del relato corto, revolucionó el cuento de terror, dotándolo de originales perspectivas psicológicas, coherencia de tono y atmósfera. El autor norteamericano supo insuflar vida a las regiones más oscuras del alma humana en cuentos como los que se presentan en esta edición. Este volumen reúne cuatro de sus mejores relatos, considerados todos piezas maestras de la literatura universal.
- El barril de amontillado 1846 El relato está marcado por el humor negro, la punzante ironía, y hasta el sadismo gratuito en la conducta del vengador Montresor el cual fue humillado tiempo atrás por Fortunato quedando bastante dolido por ello y jurando venganza.
- El demonio de la perversidad 1845 Arranca con una reflexión del propio narrador/ protagonista, entre lo filosófico, lo psicológico acerca de ese impulso que todo ser humano tiene para cometer el mal aun sabiendo que las normas morales dictan justamente lo contrario.
- El pozo y el péndulo 1842 el efecto de horror se debe fundamentalmente a la creación de una atmósfera oscura de aprensión y terror en la que se sumerge el narrador mientras anticipa las distintas formas en las que los inquisidores buscan provocar su muerte. El escritor construye lentamente un ambiente de desesperación, incertidumbre, miedo y asco.
- El corazón delator 1843 se inserta dentro del terror fantástico, aunque anticipa el relato psicológico del siglo XX, al ahondar en el interior de su protagonista. En El corazón delator es la propia mente perturbada del protagonista la que ocasiona su paranoia y, al ser narrado en primera persona, se logra un acercamiento directo al razonamiento y emociones de un asesino.

Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is based on his ingenious and profound poems, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in poetry. Poe was also the principal forerunner of the “art for art’s sake” movement in 19th-century literature. He demonstrated a brilliant command of language and technique as well as an inspired and original imagination. Poe’s poetry greatly influenced the French Symbolists of the late 19th century, who in turn altered the direction of modern literature. Here, perhaps, is his most icon-lauded work.
