Darkness Becomes Bright. On the Brief Life and Immortal Art of Edgar Allan Poe
Emily Ogden
Edgar Allan Poe did not truly die. In the years since his mysterious demise, his works have captivated millions and spawned the genres of horror and the detective story. His masterpieces – filled with talking ravens and buried women, haunted houses and beating hearts – live on in our imaginations and our nightmares. They are endlessly adapted, parodied and obsessed over. Emily Ogden dives deep into the mind of a man whose darkness has shaped our world.

Anomalous Phenomena. Apports, and the Mystery of Objects That materialize and Translocate
Keith Thompson
Across cultures and centuries, the same motifs recur—phantom figures guiding the lost, ancestors arriving in dreams, unearthly lights that seem to rearrange reality’s fabric. Far from fringe curiosities, such episodes demand recognition as part of the human record. Threaded throughout this book are Thompson’s own glimpses of the uncanny. The book opens onto a larger, empirically open model of reality where the extraordinary often lives just a breath from the ordinary.
