He recently found himself face-to-face with a ghostnot a shrieking specter, but a shy, stuttering young man who had died of "inanition" and was now failing miserably at being scary.

"The story wont tell... not in any literal, vulgar way."A young, inexperienced governess is hired to care for two orphaned children, Miles and Flora, at a remote country estate called Bly.

Convinced that these malevolent spirits are seeking to corrupt the children, she enters a desperate struggle to save their souls. But as the tension mounts, a chilling question arises: Are the ghosts real, or are they the hallucinations of a woman losing her grip on reality?The Master of Ambiguity: Henry James intentionally crafted the narrative to be interpreted in two ways. Is it a terrifying tale of the supernatural, or a "Freudian" psychological study of repressed hysteria? By using an unreliable narrator, James forces the reader to become a detective, searching for truth in a house filled with shadows and secrets.A Legacy of Dread: The Turn of the Screw revolutionized the horror genre by shifting the focus from external "monsters" to the internal terror of the mind.

Instead, they unleash a biological revolution. From giant wasps and man-eating rats to a new generation of human "Giants" who stand forty feet tall, the world is irrevocably changed. Wells uses this fantastic premise to craft a biting satire of a society that fears progress and a moving epic about the struggle for a larger, more noble existence.The Chaos of the Small: The first half of the novel is a brilliant dark comedy. Due to the negligence of a pair of sloppy caretakers, the "Food" leaks into the English countryside, creating a nightmare of gargantuan pests.

Publicado em 1934, S. Bernardo é o segundo romance de Graciliano Ramos e um dos pontos mais altos de sua obra. Narrado em primeira pessoa por Paulo Honório, o livro se apresenta como um relato de vida escrito ja na maturidade, quando o protagonista repassa sua trajetoria e tenta compreender seus erros. De origem pobre, Paulo Honorio ascendeu socialmente por meio da esperteza, do calculo e, sobretudo, da exploraço do trabalho alheio. Tornou-se dono da fazenda S. Bernardo, simbolo de seu triunfo economico e de seu desejo de poder. No entanto, o que poderia ser uma historia de sucesso e superaço revela-se um testemunho amargo. Paulo Honorio construiu tudo a base da violencia fisica, social e afetiva , e a fazenda cresceu ao mesmo tempo que a sua vida pessoal se tornou vazia. "Vencendo a vida, porem, ficou de certo modo vencido por ela: imprimindo-lhe a sua marca, ela o inabilitou para as aventuras da afetividade e do lazer", resume Antonio Candido em posfacio incluido nesta ediço. No centro da narrativa esta o casamento com Madalena, jovem professora idealista, cujo olhar sensivel e etico contrasta com a mentalidade pratica e dura de Paulo Honorio. Incapaz de compreender ou aceitar esse mundo alheio as suas preocupaçes materiais, ele oprime e sufoca a mulher, conduzindo-a a um desfecho tragico. Para alem da ascenso e derrocada de um homem, no entanto, o romance e uma reflexo sobre poder, afeto e fracasso, revelando os mecanismos de dominaço em uma sociedade ate hoje marcada visceralmente pela desigualdade. Com texto estabelecido a partir do cotejo de oito verses e notas editoriais que esclarecem variantes entre elas, esta nova ediço reafirma o cuidado da Coleço Graciliano Ramos na Todavia com o rigor textual, a renovaço critica e a permanencia literaria de uma obra-prima.
