Ghosts are always active, they respect no boundaries and they show no mercy.

Ed and Lorraine Warren, the world's most famous demonologists, have spent decades exploring, documenting and conclusively certifying countless cases of paranormal phenomena. The Warrens' extraordinary experiences with the supernatural world have inspired successful books and films, such as the three The Conjurings or Annabelle.

From the military academy at West Point, New York, to rural Tennessee, Ghost Hunters is a first-person account of the Warren couple's confrontations with the unknown and the unnameable. In this book, you will find the story of teenage girls who are seduced by Satanism and spiritualism sessions, ending up victims of frightening spirits; of a town terrorized by unstoppable murderous forces, whose origin can be none other than Hell itself; of a family home haunted by a raging and relentless poltergeist...

In all, fourteen terrifying stories that will send shivers down your spine

With this disappearance making headlines, Wisting receives a mysterious letter containing only a set of numbers, which he matches to the code of an old murder case in which he was not personally involved. On a summer night in 1999, seventeen-year-old Tone Vaterland was murdered on her way home from work.

Desperate for a quick conviction, the police considered the investigation's conclusions more than obvious and arrested her ex-boyfriend, Danny Momrak. Tone's family was able to grieve. The public felt justice had been served. But recent events reveal connections that were not visible twenty years ago. The letter is just the first in a series, all suggesting that the wrong man was convicted and, worse still, that the real killer is still at large

A Cúpula

A Cúpula

Translated title: The Dome

Author: King, Stephen

Genre: Horror

Year: 2025 | Pages: 536 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 89997

Translated
On a beautiful autumn day, a perfectly normal day, a small town is suddenly and inexplicably cut off from the rest of the world by an unseen force. When they crash into it, planes crash, cars explode, and people are injured. Families are separated and panic sets in. No one can understand what the barrier is, where it comes from, or when (if ever) it will disappear.

Now, a group of intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq War veteran, seizes the reins of power within the dome. But their main enemy is the dome itself. And time is running out
As Margens da Guerra

As Margens da Guerra

Translated title: The Margins of War

Author: Montenegro, Aires

Genre: Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 126 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 90004

The revisitation to which Aires Montenegro invites us, undertaken in the full maturity of emotion, has no parallel in contemporary Portuguese novels. If we exclude the mastery we owe to João de Melo in his novels about the colonial disaster, the historical period to which this testimony relates remains unaddressed, or is reduced to sparse haze of memory, with which we have avoided discomfort. The Margins of War is therefore, more than a mere exercise in self-revelation, the greatness to which fiction best ascends, and which ultimately reveals to us both the face of an author and those who follow in his footsteps
