Se volete avere uninfluenza benefica sugli esseri umani, entrate ogni giorno in contatto col sole per ricevere da lui alcune particelle che comunicherete agli altri. Il sole e lunico che puo mettervi nellumore migliore verso gli esseri umani. Finche non si segue quel modello di calore e di luce, ci si lascia andare a manifestazioni inferiori. Guardate che cosa accade nel mondo: si vedono solo persone che vogliono approfittare degli altri, asservirli e schiacciarli. Tutto cio non e certo edificante! Con il sole, invece, avete limmagine di un essere raggiante, generoso, e ne venite influenzati. E anche ammettendo che non sia una creatura intelligente e ragionevole come la sintende abitualmente, anche solo il contatto con la sua luce e con il suo calore non puo che ispirarvi pensieri piu vasti e sentimenti piu fraterni. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Nerone e passato alla storia come il simbolo della follia al potere: limperatore incendiario, il persecutore dei cristiani, lartista vanitoso incapace di governare. Ma quanto di questa immagine e frutto della propaganda dei suoi nemici e dei vincitori?In Nerone.

"She heard the chiming of the silver bells, and she knew the hills were calling her home."In a secluded village nestled beneath the shadow of ancient, brooding hills, dwells the beautiful and ethereal Laura Silver Bell. Unlike the other village girls, Laura feels a strange, magnetic pull toward the wild, unpeopled places of the moor. But in the world of Le Fanu, the hills have eyes, and the "Good People" (the Sidhe) are not the whimsical fairies of nursery rhymesthey are ancient, predatory, and possessive. When a mysterious and charismatic stranger appears, Laura finds herself caught between the warmth of human love and a chilling supernatural inheritance. It is a tale of enchantment that warns: once you hear the silver bells, you can never truly belong to the world of men again.The "Dark" Fairy Tale: Le Fanu strips away the Victorian "flower fairy" imagery to return to the roots of Celtic myth. His fairies are tall, silent, and dangerous beings who exist in the "liminal" spaces of the world. The story explores the "Changeling" myth through a sophisticated Gothic lens, making the supernatural feel like a physical, inevitable force of nature.A Heroine of Two Worlds: Laura is one of Le Fanus most complex female characters. Her "silver" beauty is both a blessing and a curse, marking her as someone who doesnt quite fit into the mundane life of her village. Her struggle is a poignant metaphor for the outsiderthe person who hears a music that no one else can.The Master of the Eerie: Laura Silver Bell showcases Le Fanus ability to weave a sense of "wrongness" into the natural landscape. The rustle of the grass, the shifting shadows of the hills, and the sudden silence of the birds all build toward a climax that is as beautiful as it is devastating.Follow the music into the mist.

He believes he is the master of his own fate, but he is haunted by a centuries-old prophecy of doom. When he cruelly causes the death of his secretary and distant relative, Philip Feltram, Sir Bale believes he has cleared a nuisance from his path. But when Feltram returnschanged, silent, and carrying the chill of the lakeSir Bale realizes that the dead have a way of reclaiming what is theirs. It is a slow-burn masterpiece of Gothic tension, where the environment itself seems to conspire against the living.The Environment as Antagonist: Le Fanu utilizes the "Atmospheric Gothic" to its fullest potential here. The swirling mists of the Lake District, the echoes in the mountain passes, and the bottomless depths of the lake serve as metaphors for Sir Bales mounting paranoia. The house and the land are not just settings; they are active participants in the baronets downfall.A Study in Psychological Ruin: Unlike many contemporary ghost stories, the horror in The Haunted Baronet is deeply internal. We watch Sir Bales skepticism slowly erode as the supernatural elements become undeniable. The figure of the "Returned" Feltram is one of Le Fanus most effective creationsa ghost that doesnt just haunt, but inhabits the social space of the living.The Weight of Ancestry: Le Fanu explores the idea that we are never truly free from the actions of our forefathers. Sir Bale is a victim of his own bloodline as much as his own choices. The novella builds to a tragic and inevitable climax that proves that some debts can only be paid in lifeblood.Beware the calm waters of Golden Friars. Purchase "The Haunted Baronet" today.

In this story, he uses the "uncanny"taking a familiar domestic space and making it feel wrong. The horror isnt just in the ghost itself, but in the growing sense of unease, the shadows that move on their own, and the feeling of being watched by something that "ought not to be there."The Legacy of the "Hanging Judge": The figure of the Judge represents a common theme in Le Fanus work: the past refusing to stay buried.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer, poet, literary critic and essayist, recognized as one of the greatest writers of horror literature together with Edgar Allan Poe and considered by many to be one of the precursors of Anglo-American science fiction. His works, a contamination between horror, soft science fiction, dark fantasy and low fantasy, have often been described, even by himself, with the term weird fiction (where weird stands for "strange"), being recognized among the main origins of the modern literary genre of the new weird.The Dreams in the Witch House is a short horror story by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales. It represents a pinnacle of Lovecrafts later style, where he successfully bridges the gap between traditional Gothic horror and the emerging genre of science fiction. The story is set in the fictional, mist-shrouded city of Arkham, Massachusetts, a recurring location in the Cthulhu Mythos.The narrative follows Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics and folklore at Miskatonic University. Driven by a morbid curiosity, Gilman rents a room in the "Witch House", a building rumored to have been the home of Keziah Mason, an old woman who escaped the Salem witch trials in 1692. Gilman is particularly interested in the house because of its strange architecture; the walls and ceilings are built at odd, non-Euclidean angles that seem to defy physical laws.As Gilman delves deeper into his studies of quantum physics and higher dimensions, he begins to experience feverish dreams. In these nightmares, he is pulled through the sharp angles of his room into abysses of cosmic space, guided by the crone Keziah Mason and her familiar, Brown Jenkina grotesque, human-faced rat. The story suggests that what ancient legends called "witchcraft" was actually a primitive understanding of mathematics and the ability to travel through the fourth dimension.
