Apotheosis. El Devorador de Almas 2 (El Devorador de Almas #2)
by Cesarino Bellini ArtioliLa odisea de Lord Samuel Kainz continúa Perseguido por la Muerte, maldecido por la vida, forjado por la ambición, no conocerá ni la rendición ni la derrota. No tendrá ningún remordimiento en aniquilar a cualquier persona o cosa que se interponga entre él y su objetivo. El destino que le esperaba era aniquilarse en el olvido de la otra vida, como todos los seres vivos de esta tierra, pero la misma voluntad que le salvó le llevará mucho más allá de las posibilidades humanas. Sacrificará su vida en pos de la ascensión, hacia ese poder que le permita desafiar a Dios y a sus Caballeros. Esta voluntad y esta fuerza le llevarán a la Apoteosis o a la más inmensa y ruinosa derrota. Se acabó el tiempo de huir y esconderse, ha llegado el momento de dar a conocer de lo que es capaz un hombre armado con una voluntad fuerte y una arrogancia sin límites.
Apparition
by Gail GallantThe last time seventeen-year-old Amelia Mackenzie saw her best friend Matthew alive, he broke her heart. When he is found the next day in an abandoned barn at the edge of town, an apparent suicide, Amelia's whole world comes crashing down. And then she sees him again. Because Amelia has a secret that even Matthew didn't know: sometimes, she sees ghosts. When a local history columnist named Morris Dyson contacts Amelia after the funeral and tells her that he thinks the barn Matthew died in is haunted, and that Matthew wasn't its first victim, an unlikely partnership is born. With Amelia's gift for seeing ghosts, Morris's radical theories on the supernatural, and a bit of help from Morris's sexy but skeptical son, Kip, a mystery unfolds. One by one, the barn's other ghostly residents are revealed: all innocent, love-struck young men who've died horrific deaths, seemingly by their own hands. Life and death couldn't get more complicated as Amelia is torn between her devotion to the ghostly Matthew and her growing attraction to Kip, who may not believe in ghosts but can't help believing in Amelia. When she's confronted with a rivalry between the living and the dead, which side of the great divide will Amelia choose? Apparition is a fast-paced supernatural mystery about memory and obsession, bodies and spirits, love and loss.
Apparitions (1953)
by G. N. M. TyrrellTHE CLASSIC STUDY OF ESP AND GHOSTLY APPEARANCESWhat are ghostly apparitions?In this classic of psychical research, George N. M. Tyrrell submits that “ghosts” are subjective and telepathic, created in the regions of the personality outside the field of normal consciousness. Basing his theories on a vast collection of psychical data, and substantiating his arguments with more than sixty dramatic, well-documented case histories, he establishes a clear relationship between the phenomena of sensory hallucinations and modern psychology.His is a logical, impartial exploration of a subject long obscured by fear and too often dismissed as belonging to the realm of the “supernatural.” As past president of England’s famed Society of Psychical Research, Mr. Tyrrell demonstrates with authority that the scientific investigation of apparitions can make a significant contribution to our understanding of the human mind and personality.“Recommended to the scientific student of extra-sensory perception.”—Waldo Frank“Likely to be regarded as a classic of its kind…an admirable survey of the whole subject.”—The Times (London) Literary Supplement
