A maze of language, an ancient mystery, a literary challenge: an elusive codex on the edge of being decoded, now pushed into the public eye. Trapped in a haunted library in the middle of a hallucinatory desert deep in the decaying west, two rival scholars collaborated to decipher an ancient esoteric text rumored to have descended from fallen angels. In pursuit of forbidden knowledge and inhabited by an obsession older than time, reclusive philologist Solivan Campbell Lucero and notorious occultist Grigori Asir dove into this cryptolect in search of answers and vanished. All that is left of them are their notes. A labyrinth of signs, scraps, footnotes, ciphers, and redactions. Locked away amongst the pages is a primordial secret, lost incarnations of a past life. A thread of evolving language and anti language protecting the story of a truthseeker lost beneath. This is a persecuted knowledge that can only exist in shadows, in the refuge of the mind. This time, you must traverse the labyrinth to understand the monster. Are you willing to destroy this book to solve the mystery? An experimental-ergodic challenge in the form of an occult linguist's dark academia psychological horror novel. Linguistics, esotericism, and angels. Ciphers, art layouts, (optional) page cutting. Academic rivals to lovers, mm t4t. For the curious minds who willingly braved works like House of Leaves, Pale Fire, Cain's Jawbone, and Katabasis.

Diagnosed by her physician husband with a “temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency” after the birth of her child, a woman is urged to rest for the summer in an old colonial mansion. Forbidden from doing work of any kind, she spends her days in the house’s former nursery, with its barred windows, scratched floor, and peeling yellow wallpaper. In a private journal, the woman records her growing obsession with the “horrid” wallpaper. Its strange pattern mutates in the moonlight, revealing what appears to be a human figure in the design. With nothing else to occupy her mind, the woman resolves to unlock the mystery of the wallpaper. Her quest, however, leads not to the truth, but into the darkest depths of madness. A condemnation of the patriarchy, The Yellow Wallpaper explores with terrifying economy the oppression, grave misunderstanding, and willful dismissal of women in late nineteenth-century society. First published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine. Excerpt: Out of another I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate. There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house. I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least. He says that with my imaginative power and habit of story-making a nervous weakness like mine is sure to lead to all manner of excited fancies, and that I ought to use my will and good sense to check the tendency. So I try.

Lucy isn’t a normal girl. Ghost. Victim. Killer. She’s a doll on a mission—to find the man who killed her and return the favor. Lucy McQuinn has been murdered, but she’s not about to go quietly. If she doesn’t get to keep breathing, then neither does Kyle, her killer. Possessing the body of an antique doll, she sets out on a quest for revenge. But it’s hard when you’re eighteen inches tall and made of porcelain. For help, she turns to Nicola, a human and fellow outsider with her own reasons to hate Kyle. But in their small idyllic town, no one wants to hear the truth, especially not about such a promising young man. If they can’t expose his crimes, Lucy will have to roll up her lacy little sleeves and teach him a lesson the old-fashioned way—as slowly and painfully as possible. From LA Times bestselling author Barbara Truelove, She’s a Doll is a ghoulish and gleeful tribute to the unstoppable power of female rage and a love letter to the friends who have our back—in this life and the next.

Al suo primo apparire, nel 1953, Il mare non bagna Napoli sembrò a molti inserirsi in quel filone che allora e dopo venne chiamato «neorealismo». Era tutt’altra cosa. Nato dall’incontro della scrittrice con quella città – che era e non era la sua – uscita in pezzi dalla guerra (un incontro che fu insieme un addio: a Napoli la Ortese non tornerà, in seguito, praticamente mai), il libro è la cronaca di uno spaesamento. La città ferita e lacera diventa infatti uno schermo sul quale l’autrice proietta ciò che lei stessa definisce la propria «nevrosi»: una nevrosi metafisica, una impossibilità di accettare il reale e la sua oscura sostanza, la cecità del vivere, un orrore del tempo che ogni cosa corrode e divora – e insieme il riconoscimento del «cupo incanto» della città, del mondo. Tutto il libro, con la sua scrittura «febbrile e allucinata» e al tempo stesso rigorosissima, è un grido contro questo orrore, da cui lo sguardo – come quello della bambina Eugenia il giorno in cui mette gli occhiali, nel primo, indimenticabile racconto – vorrebbe potersi distogliere: e non può. La presente edizione è accompagnata da due testi del tutto nuovi e preziosi, scritti dall’autrice ripensando questo suo libro: per il lettore saranno la guida più sicura.
