Terminal Lucidity Death is Just the Beginning

Autor: Robert G. Pranic

Número de Páginas: 426

Noah Reyes chose the evidence basement because it kept him away from the living. Then a murdered woman’s necklace puts him inside her final moments, and the impossible becomes a lead. Detective Sofia Park follows Noah’s insight into a buried network of river tunnels, transit chambers, and covert research sites hidden beneath Los Angeles. There, they uncover Adrian Shaw’s real project: a system designed to exploit terminal lucidity, the final coherent threshold of consciousness before death. What begins as a murder investigation becomes a race against a machine built from grief, terror, and stolen last moments. To stop it, Noah must risk the very wound that lets him hear the dead at all. Terminal Lucidity is a dark, intelligent thriller for readers who like noir voice, speculative science fiction, psychological dread, and high-concept conspiracy.

The Deep Hollow

Autor: Robert G. Pranic

Número de Páginas: 470

The Deep Hollow takes The Hollow Court Cycle into its darkest, most intimate, and most politically explosive territory yet. Mara Calder has already survived the Hollow Court’s attempts to dress her, claim her, bind her, and make her useful. She has broken vows she never consented to, exposed the systems hidden beneath courtly beauty, and chosen Ronan Halward in defiance of laws built to turn love into architecture. But Book Four begins with a wound that cannot be solved by courage alone. Ronan is dying. His injuries are not merely physical. They carry Crownfold damage, root-burn, and old force inside the torn tissue. Surface medicine cannot save him. Hollow Court medicine may not be trustworthy. Then Selene Orrow arrives with Red Mercy, a forbidden Deep Hollow restorative once tied to the Red Conservatory. It closes wounds and steadies failing bodies, but its gift is not clean. It moves through love, attention, desire, fear, and dependence. It reaches for the bond between Mara and Ronan and begins to turn what they freely chose into something measurable, usable, and corruptible. Then Cael Varran enters the room in red. Cael is no ordinary villain. He is beautiful, grieving,...

The Window and The Well

Autor: Robert G. Pranic

Número de Páginas: 429

Some houses should remain sealed. Some windows should never be opened. Some wells should stay forgotten. When three teenagers dare each other into the abandoned Saint Orison’s House of Mercy, they expect dust, broken glass, and a story to frighten one another with. What they find instead is a window that should not reflect the living, a dry well that should not whisper, and a dead nun watching from the dark. At first, it feels like a dare gone wrong. Then the haunting follows them home. As whispers become apparitions, possession, and bloodshed, the teenagers and their families are dragged into a hidden history of religious secrecy, stolen children, buried women, and a crime the town has spent decades pretending never happened. But the dead are not simply asking to be remembered. Something older waits beneath the house. Something patient. Something that knows the difference between grief and vengeance, and knows how easily one can become the other. To survive, the living must uncover what really happened inside Saint Orison’s before the evil in the window, the well, and the grave claims them all. The Window and The Well is a disturbing adult paranormal horror novel of...

BARZANI Episode Eight: The Reading Room

Autor: Robert G. Pranic

Número de Páginas: 446

Detective Sam Barzani has always known that evil rarely announces itself honestly. It hides in paperwork, polite rooms, institutional language, and the quiet confidence of people who believe they will never be forced into the light. When a body falls, and a dead-end lead opens into something far worse, Barzani is drawn into one of the darkest investigations of his career. Beneath the city’s respectable surfaces lies a hidden chain of reading rooms, archive corridors, donor suites, clinical scripts, and domestic spaces designed to look safe while doing the opposite. Children have been identified, categorised, and prepared. Parents have been studied. Records have been split, mirrored, and rewritten before the truth can settle. Then Barzani discovers that the system he is hunting has reached into his own past. What follows is a relentless descent through libraries, hospitals, boardrooms, and private apartments as Barzani races to stop the next child from disappearing into a machine built on secrecy and control. To win, he must do more than catch the people responsible. He must break the sequence they depend on, force parents to hear one another before the scripts arrive, and drag...

Barzani Episode Seven: The Art Gallery Murders

Autor: Robert G. Pranic

Número de Páginas: 447

At a glittering National Gallery gala, a journalist disappears from a private sponsor room. Minutes later, Elijah North is dead on the Southbank concrete below a penthouse linked to one of Melbourne’s most polished benefactors. The city is ready to call it suicide. Detective Samir Barzani is not. North was chasing more than a scandal. He was following a hidden system buried behind donor walls, euphemistic language, and cultural respectability: a covert programme that turned care into control and buried frightened children inside institutional language. As Barzani and his team move from gallery lounges and luxury towers to clinics, archives, and carefully managed witness rooms, they uncover a machine built to clean ugliness with money, influence, and words. At its centre stands Dorian Vale, a civic patron who treats murder like event management, and the woman who can move people through rooms so cleanly they disappear inside the story. To bring them down, Barzani must force a city of wealth, culture, and polished corruption to hear what it has paid not to hear. Dark, precise, and morally charged, Barzani Episode Seven: The Art Gallery Murders is a Melbourne crime novel about...

The Strange World of David Lynch

Autor: Eric G. Wilson

Número de Páginas: 200

Anyone who has sat through the dark and grainy world of Eraserhead knows that David Lynch's fi lms pull us into a strange world where reality turns upside down and sideways. His fi lms are carnivals that allow us to transcend our ordinary lives and to reverse the meanings we live with in our daily lives. Nowhere is this demonstrated better than in the opening scene of Blue Velvet when our worlds are literally turned on their ears. Lynch endlessly vacillates between Hollywood conventions and avant-garde experimentation, placing viewers in the awkward position of not knowing when the image is serious and when it's in jest, when meaning is lucid or when it's lost. His vexed style in this way places form and content in a perpetually self-consuming dialogue. But what do Lynch's fi lms have to do with religion? Wilson aims to answer that question in his new book, The Strange World of David Lynch. To say that irony (especially of the kind found in Lynch's fi lms) generates religious experience is to suggest religious can be founded on nihilism. Moreover, in claiming Lynch's fi lms are religious, one must assume that extremely violent and lurid sexual films are somehow expressions of...

This epic sequel to Riftborne, with its enemies-to-lovers romance and unexpected twists and turns, is perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses. A FATED LOVE. A COSTLY BETRAYAL.

The only thing that is certain, is that Fia's growing powers are tied to the Isle's survival. As war looms on two fronts and tensions in Sídhe reach a breaking point, the Void that gave Fia her power is calling--but answering it means betraying everyone she left behind. The Guard.

Número de Páginas: 344

In the aftermath of the first rupture, Daniel Cole is left carrying knowledge no ordinary life can contain. He knows the world is thinner than it looks. He knows that reflections are no longer passive. Most of all, he knows that whatever lies beyond the Quantum Veil has begun to push back. When new disturbances appear, and the pattern behind them starts to sharpen, Daniel is forced into another desperate confrontation with forces that do not obey familiar rules. The danger is no longer limited to isolated moments of terror. It is systemic, intelligent, and spreading.

Around him, Sarah, Mia, Marcus, Carter, and Lisa are drawn deeper into the consequences of what was unleashed. Relationships tighten under pressure, fear mutates into determination, and the cost of knowing the truth becomes harder to bear. What once looked like survival now looks like responsibility.
