Ravencrest Manor is the most beautiful thing new governess Belinda Moorland has ever seen, but as she learns more about its tangled past of romance and terror, she realizes that beauty has a dark side. Who is the man digging in the garden beyond Belinda’s bedroom window? Who - or what - is watching her from the vents?

Mina Louvet is a fighter, a human with a powerful will to survive in a world dominated by warlocks, soul-eaters, and shifters. Identified by the king's witch as one of the rare, invaluable females in Dragons Realm who can give birth to a dragon's son, she was stolen from her parents as a child and taken to the Keep to be reared in the ways of the Ahavi. As one of the few, the elect - the Sklavos Ahavi - Mina is expected to feed her master's fire, reanimate his blood, and above all else, give him strong dragon offspring: children who will one day rise to power.

In the decades since an innocent human slave was taken to Castle Dragon against her will, for the sole purpose of bearing a son for the monarchy, much has changed in the Realm: Alliances made in secret have flourished; sons born of veiled paternity have grown to adulthood; and dangerous warlocks, seasoned witches, and cunning shades have risen to powerful positions. Yet all is not as it seems. Beneath the shadow of an eerie double moon, a dark, tormented evil is rising....

Magiere the Dhampir was created by a shadowy, long-forgotten enemy of many names - an enemy who the elf Leesil was trained from childhood to kill. They were brought together by the Fay to forge an alliance that might have the power to stand against the forces of dark magics. But as Magiere and Leesil uncover the truth, they discover just how close the enemy has always been...

Wynn Hygeort is stunned when Magiere and Leesil, along with the elven wolf Chap, show up at the Guild of Sagecraft. But Wynn cannot leave with her friends - she still must access the texts within the Guild’s archives, which may help her divine the locations of the last two Orbs sought by the Ancient Enemy. To complete her task - and protect the Orbs - Wynn must remain sequestered from her friends. But she’s essentially a prisoner.

Finally available as an audiobook, Joyce Carol Oates' lost classic: a satirical, often surreal, and beautifully plotted Gothic romance that follows the exploits of the audacious Zinn sisters, whose 19th-century pursuit of adventurous lives turns a lens on contemporary American culture.

The secrets of her past have been revealed, but Rouge's life is still shrouded in mystery. She has learned more and still feels like she had merely scratched the surface as more questions arise that she must find answers to. The Grollics want her dead, she's forbidden to be with the boy she loves, and her brother - who is the enemy - may be the only one she can trust. The deeper she digs into the past, the more trouble awaits. Can she find answers in the ancient journal she carries, or is she opening Pandora's box?

If children's tales are sometimes a little scary, it is because children need imagery to conjure and get rid of their fears in a symbolic, healthy way. Stories are all the more pleasurable if they add an element of horror; children are fascinated, as horror stories provide a healthy way of taking into account intense emotions and making sense of them. This compilation includes folk tales, classic tales by Charles Perrault and Hans Christian Andersen, and stories from the Arabian Nights. These stories all have in common the fact that they impress children in a healthy way, igniting the imagination and bringing healing emotions into light; but still, they are suitable for the youngest children, as their teachings are always brought up in a symbolic way.

Als Bobbie und ihre beste Freundin Naya an Halloween den legendären Geist Bloody Mary beschwören sollen, glaubt niemand, dass wirklich etwas passieren wird.

Sie ist ein böser Hauch. Sie lauert in Albträumen. Sie versteckt sich in den Schatten des Zimmers. Sie wartet in jedem Spiegel. Sie ist überall. Und sie plant ihre Rache.

Una giovane sposa morbosamente attratta da un ritratto misterioso. Un uomo talmente ossessionato dal proprio trauma da non riuscire a vivere una vita normale. Un grande castello nero, dimenticato da tutti tranne che da un ragazzo che continua a vedere, in sogno, lo stesso identico paesaggio. E ancora la storia di due fratelli che non riescono a perdonarsi, e il drammatico presagio che spiriti, fantasmi e creature dell'oscurità in realtà siano più vicini a noi di quanto pensiamo.
