Wilson has blended H. P. Lovecraft's dark vision with his own revolutionary philosophy and unique narrative powers to produce a stunning, high-tension story of vaulting imagination. A professor makes a horrifying discovery while excavating a sinister archaeological site. For over 200 years, mind parasites have been lurking in the deepest layers of human consciousness, feeding on human life force and steadily gaining a foothold on the planet.

Science Fiction. Horror. Comedy. Action. Noir. Double feature some cult classics and midnight movies every week with The Wade.

The Horror of It All is a memoir from the front lines of the industry that dissects (and occasionally defends) the hugely popular phenomenon of scary movies. Author Adam Rockoff traces the highs and lows of the horror genre through the lens of his own obsessive fandom, born in the aisles of his local video store and nurtured with a steady diet of cable trash.

These soulful standup comedy performances are all about religious cults: Judy Toll's epic tale of her involvement with "The Church of Something-ology" and Taylor Negron's casual dip into a model cult.

A Mosca, in un afoso pomeriggio di primavera, due letterati stanno elencando le prove dell'inesistenza di Dio. Lo straniero che si intromette nella discussione è di tutt'altro parere. Non solo, ma è stato presente al processo di Gesù. Si tratta infatti del Diavolo, nei panni del mago Woland, e la sua spettacolare comparsa getterà nel caos il burocratismo sovietico e l'élite letteraria del tempo. Satira devastante e fantastica, il romanzo, in parte ambientato nella capitale sovietica e in parte nell'antica Gerusalemme, è uno dei massimi capolavori della letteratura.

Ambientata sull'isola di Procida, la storia ha come protagonista Arturo, un ragazzo che ha il nome di una stella.

Poi il padre torna a casa con Nunziata, la sua giovane sposa.

Come with Candy on her hilarious misadventures in this classic, raunchy comic fantasy. Beautiful, innocent, and generous to a fault, she's thrust into an outrageous world of debauched lechers and dirty old men. Can Candy close the gap between people by giving fully and satisfying their sizeable needs? Only the author of The Magic Christian and the screenplays for Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider could have created this irreverent, wildly funny, and notorious satire on pornography.

For the first time, the Sultan of Sleaze and the Baron of Bad taste has turned to fiction, and the result is Liarmouth, a riotous, ridiculous, perfectly perverted tale of sex, crime, and revenge. Marsha is on the run from everyone and everything: her lustful ex-assistant; her estranged daughter, backed up by a whirling cult of trampoline-obsessed oddballs; her mother, an animal plastic surgeon hoping to nip and tuck pets across America; and every cop in a hundred-mile radius. But is that enough to take down Marsha Sprinkle? 

In May 1962, Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl sent shockwaves through the United States, selling more than two million copies in three weeks. The future Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief’s book promoted the message that a woman’s needs, ambition, and success during her single years could actually take precedence over the search for a husband.  

A steamy, best-selling tale of Long Island lust, written as a daring literary hoax by Newsday columnist Mike McGrady and two dozen of his colleagues. For talk show host Gillian Blake, the suburbs have long been a paradise. On the radio, she and her husband are Gilly and Billy, local media stars and "New York’s Sweethearts of the Air". At home they’re the envy of their neighbors. Only in the bedroom is their life less than perfect. When Gillian learns that her husband has a mistress, she takes revenge the only way she can. With each lover she takes, her lust multiplies.

Proust ci dice che non ha narrato la "Recherche" per dei lettori, i suoi: "Infatti non sarebbero stati, secondo me, lettori miei, ma lettori di se stessi [...], li avrei muniti, grazie al mio libro, del mezzo per leggere in se stessi." Sembra impossibile, ma "Alla ricerca del tempo perduto" è un audiolibro che contiene un mondo, forse il mondo, e con esso la dimensione più umana di tutte: il tempo. E come una luce o un preludio, "Dalla parte di Swann" ci introduce, illumina quest'opera monumentale, i suoi temi e i suoi personaggi;
