Complete Collection Of H. P. Lovecraft - 150 eBooks With 100+ Audiobooks (Complete Collection Of Lovecraft's Fiction, Juvenilia, Poems, Essays And Collaborations)


H.P. Lovecraft - 2002
    Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life. Among his most celebrated tales is "The Call of Cthulhu", canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor, Lovecraft saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time he died at the age of 46.

Stephanie Brother - 2022

He gets me a job on the set of a movie, but there’s a catch. The stepbrothers I never wanted to meet work there, too.Leading man Aiden Hunt is known as much for his good looks as the high-octane movies he makes. His twin, stunt double Tanner, has the same handsome features, but he’s as kind and warm as Aiden is aloof and cocky. Their best friend, Ford, is the fight coordinator, and his incredible combat skills attract me almost as much as his limber, muscular body.The three men share a house while filming on location, and due to a shortage of hotel rooms, I'm forced to stay with them. It’s hard not to resent the twins who took my father away from me as a child. At least Ford makes me laugh and takes me under his wing, teaching me stunts and fighting techniques. Eventually, Tanner slips past my guard, too.As for Aiden… he might be a jerk, but I discover that he knows pain, just like I do. We fight, we bicker, but maybe we’re more alike than I want to admit.Nothing’s ever easy, though. My father carries a lot of weight on the set, and he’s opposed to me learning stunt work. He’ll be doubly horrified if he finds out about the bedroom stunts I've been perfecting with Ford and his stepsons.Before filming ends, I need to know if I have a future with these three complicated men, or if we'll miss our chance at a Hollywood-style happy ending.
