It turns into a weekend filled with obsession, deception, untold secrets, love, hatred, and murder hidden behind a dark curtain of Spanish moss. In the distance, the moon is rising a virulent orange, sliced through with lines of red, as if leaking blood - vigilant, jealous guardian of voodoo rituals and the legends of werewolves.

Dreh- und Angelpunkt dieser "deutschen Rhapsodie", wie Bernd Hertling nicht ohne Augenzwinkern seine Kurzprosa nennt, ist ein verstimmtes Klavier, das nach Ansicht hochgestellter Persönlichkeiten einmal einem Brahmanen gehörte, und im Laufe der Geschichte mehrmals den Besitzer wechselt. Von dem Instrument geht ein gewisser "Zauber" aus, der so weit geht, dass kein geringerer als Johannes Brahms zunächst an der Komposition einer Rhapsodie für Klavier gehindert wurde, einem eindrucksvollen Klavierstück übrigens, das dann aber doch zuletzt auf unvermutete Art und Weise mit dem Instrument in Berührung kommt.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context. This volume is a doorway into a captivating world.

Dr Jekyll, a charming doctor explores the possibility of dividing the dark and light side of her personality, but in doing this she creates a monster, Eleanor Hyde.

An exploration of human duality and forces of good and evil, this modern retelling is compelling and eerie and retains the disturbing nature of the original text.
