Nesta pastiche espirituosa, Lovecraft adota a voz do moralista do século XVIII Dr. Samuel Johnson, que afirma ter sobrevivido muito além de seu próprio século. Escrita em um estilo deliberadamente arcaico, a obra apresenta as reflexes de Johnson sobre a passagem do tempo, o declinio dos costumes e o estranho progresso da sociedade moderna. Por meio de seu humor seco e indignaço erudita, o conto zomba gentilmente tanto da confiança do Iluminismo na razo quanto da obsesso do mundo moderno pela novidade.

Kellys search for a missing friend draws her into a sinister underworld.Talented but unstable photographer Day Randall has been living rent-free in Kelly Durrells Colorado condo for eight months. Day needs someone to keep an eye on her. Kelly needs someone to draw her out of her stable but not spectacular life. The arrangement works for both of them.Then Kelly comes home one day to find Day gone. Theres no note, no phone call. Days car is still parked out front, but her room is starkly, suspiciously spotless.No one seems to care. The police certainly arent interested in a missing bipolar artist, but Kelly knows something is wrong. Day wouldnt just leave.Alone, Kelly traces Days last steps through shadowy back rooms of Boulder nightclubs and to a remote mountain estate, where the wealthy protect themselves behind electric fences and armed guards. Along the way, she uncovers a sinister underworld lying just below the mountain snow, and a group of powerful people who will do anything to protect the secrets hidden in Days enigmatic photographs.If she trusts the wrong person, Kelly herself will be the next to disappear.If you like suspenseful thrillers with unexpected plot twists, a strong sense of place, and characters that one reader describes as "so well-drawn youd swear they were relatives," youll love Mary Maddoxs dark, compelling novel.A Night Owl Reviews Top Pick: "Sensational!...A haunting novel full of suspense and not a little terror."Hailed by BestThrillers.com as "one of the years best crime thrillers."

In this witty early pastiche, Lovecraft adopts the voice of the eighteenth-century moralist Dr. Samuel Johnson, who claims to have survived far beyond his own century. Written in a deliberately archaic style, the piece presents Johnsons reflections on the passage of time, the decline of manners, and the strange progress of modern society. Through his dry humor and learned indignation, the tale gently mocks both the Enlightenments confidence in reason and the modern worlds obsession with novelty.

Em julho de 1843, um jovem brasileiro, prestes a completar 20 anos, estudante de Direito na Universidade de Coimbra, em Portugal, escreveu um poema destinado a posteridade, num momento em que, por assim dizer, o pais independente ainda no havia completado 21 anos.Intitulando o poema "Canço do exilio", Gonçalves Dias inaugurou uma experiencia de pensamento que, a partir de seus versos, deu forma a um traço propriamente brasileiro: o exilio como forma paradoxal de identidade.A "Canço do exilio" tornou-se uma especie de matriz textual da poesia nacional, tanto por suas qualidades intrinsecas quanto pelo processo de consagraço que se estabeleceu desde a publicaço dos Primeiros cantos, em 1847.Contudo, o que esta por tras da inquietante adoço do exilio como forma literaria? Sera a "Canço do exilio" um poema-sintoma? No caso, sintoma do impasse que pode ser expresso numa pergunta que orienta este livro: onde esta o povo na "Canço do exilio"? Por que Gonçalves Dias esboça um pais-paisagem, dominado por sabias e palmeiras, sem nenhuma aluso a Palmares?Responder a essas questes e o proposito de Exilio como forma: Gonçalves Dias e o dilema brasileiro.

In this thoughtful and meticulously researched work, the author invites readers to examine one of Scriptures most profound and often misunderstood subjects: the future resurrections foretold in the biblical narrative. While the resurrection of Christ stands as the cornerstone of Christian faith, the Bible presents additional moments in which the dead are raised, each carrying distinct purpose, timing, and theological significance. This book carefully traces these moments across the canon, from Old Testament foreshadowings to New Testament revelations and the prophetic visions of the final age.Drawing upon a broad array of biblical texts, Leslie presents a clear and methodical exploration of the resurrections yet to occur, inviting readers to follow the progression of Gods redemptive plan as it unfolds toward its culmination. Rather than imposing speculative interpretations, the work maintains a steady commitment to scriptural integrity, allowing the biblical passages themselves to guide the inquiry. Along the way, the book examines the themes of judgment, restoration, hope, and divine justice, illustrating how each resurrection event reflects a unique aspect of Gods character and purpose.Written for readers who desire a more in-depth understanding of eschatology without sensationalism, this volume offers clarity where confusion is common and structure where interpretations often diverge. Whether one is a seasoned student of the Bible or someone newly exploring the subject, the book provides an accessible yet rigorous guide to one of the most significant components of the Christian hope. It encourages thoughtful reflection, reverence for Scripture, and a renewed appreciation of the unfolding promise of life beyond death.How Many Resurrections Are Yet to Come ultimately serves as both a study resource and a contemplative companion, inviting believers to consider not only what lies ahead, but how such knowledge shapes faith, endurance, and expectation in the present age.

In a city where the night never sleeps and danger breathes beneath every flickering streetlight, the paths of Adrian Valeriothe only heir to one of Los Angeless most feared mafia dynastiesand Evan, a quiet bartender trying only to survive another week, collide in the kind of moment that rewrites entire destinies. A failed assassination, a coat drenched in blood, a stranger standing under a neon sign with a cigarette he hasnt even lit yetEvan should have run, should have closed the bar door and pretended he never saw the man collapsing in front of him, but something in Adrians eyes, something fragile cracking through all that power, makes Evan reach out instead of step back. And from the second their hands touch, nothing in either of their worlds stays simple again.Evan never asked to become anyone important. With a sick younger brother and debts rising far too fast, he only wants enough money to keep the two of them afloat. Yet the Valerio family offers him what he cannot refuse: a position as Adrians personal bodyguard, a salary that could change everything, and a place inside a mansion where every hallway hides secrets that no ordinary man should hear. Adrian doesnt know how to speak softly, doesnt know how to flirt without looking like hes preparing for war, doesnt know how to show that he cares without looking away firstbut Evan sees right through him. He sees the exhaustion behind the stone expression, the loneliness buried under layers of inherited duty, and the way Adrians voice softensjust barelywhenever he says Evans name.As danger tightens around them and the Moretti family marks Evan as the first to eliminate, the fragile distance that should exist between a mafia heir and his bodyguard dissolves into something neither of them can deny.

Evan learns to fight not just to survive, but to stand beside Adrian without fear, and Adrian learns that strength doesnt come from shutting the world outbut from choosing someone to let in.But when Evans younger brother is kidnapped as leverage and the Moretti war ignites for real, both men are forced to decide what matters more: blood, power, or the one person who makes all of it worth fighting for. In the aftermath of gunfire, rescue, and a battle neither was ready for, the Valerio council delivers a verdict that changes everythingnot a punishment, but an acknowledgment that what Adrian and Evan have is no longer a weakness, but a reason the empire survived the night.Now, with Los Angeles quiet for the first time in weeks, Adrian sits beside Evans hospital bed, fingers entwined with his as sunlight crawls over the rooms cold floor. They are not safenot truly, not in a world built on shadowsbut they are alive, together, and no longer running from what they feel. And in a life where people kill for less and die for nothing, the simple act of choosing each other becomes the most dangerousand most powerfulthing they have ever done.A slow-burn, knife-edged, tenderly funny mafia romance about a man born into power, a man who never wanted any of it, and the love that grows between them in the quiet spaces where the world cant quite reach.
