With the conclusion of the alchemy tournament sparking the flames of a civil war between two of the most powerful families in the Blood Lotus Sect, Ashlock and his sect find themselves swept up in the conflict.

Sophie Rose went missing eighteen years ago. Now the town think they may have found her body, when they were looking for someone else’s. During the hottest summer on record, the small English town of Wymere is holding a summer fete, children play happily with their families and all is well, until a woman reports that her husband and son have gone missing. As a panicked search sweeps the fete, the missing man comes out of the woods covered in blood screaming that he doesn’t know what has happened, but his son is nowhere to be seen.

Rising from the ashes, Ashlock fully accepts his new reality as a tree. However, he is still surrounded by an antagonistic demonic sect that is too big a threat to face by himself. With no way to run, he must stand his ground and fight. But not alone. It's time for him to gather dependable allies and form his own sect. But a sect is more than the sum of its people. Not only must he gather talented individuals, but he will also need to build a place he can proudly call home in this crazy world.

"The Tree" is a macabre short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in 1920, and published in October 1921 in The Tryout. Set in ancient Greece, the story concerns two sculptors who accept a commission with ironic consequences. Lovecraft wrote "The Tree" early in his career. He was dismissive of the story in a 1936 letter. Such stories, he said, "if typed on good stock make excellent shelf-paper, but little else."

Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

Unlike many of Lovecraft’s stories, this story takes place in Greece, and more importantly, on a mountain that was supposedly watched over by Pan. Kalos and Musides, two friends, live here, and when Kalos falls ill and dies, Musides decides to use his sculpting powers to use. He erects a great monument to Kalos over his tomb, but an oak tree decides to overtake it, shaping into what looks like a deformed and monstrous human figure. Musides’ fears about the tree sapping the vital force from his friend’s grave are finally struck down by lightning - and with it the whole monument.

Una stanza nascosta all'interno di un misterioso castello dalla forma tentacolare; una ragazza bellissima, apparsa dal nulla e impossibile da toccare; uno spirito misterioso che si manifesta nelle rovine di un vecchio maniero. Giocando sul contrasto tra la paura e il fascino dell'ignoto, in questa raccolta di racconti horror Margaret Oliphant sfrutta gli schemi classici del genere gotico in maniera innovativa, arricchendoli di descrizioni realistiche e suggestive che gettano il lettore al centro della storia, davanti al confine che separa sanità e follia.

Il primo di questi tre racconti è lo storico "Il Vampiro" con cui John William Polidori (1795-1821) inaugurò le vicende letterarie di questa creatura dell’orrore. Lo scrittore era anche il segretario e medico personale del poeta George Byron, a cui si fa più volte riferimento, nel racconto, alttribuendone a lui la paternità, secondo una non insolita finzione letteraria.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) diede vita a una narrativa "americana" radicata nei valori originari dei coloni, stilisticamente impeccabile. Dopo la "Lettera scarlatta" tra le opere più interessanti di Hawthorne troviamo la raccolta dei "Racconti narrati due volte" da cui sono tratti questi tre racconti che mostrano una sapiente organizzazione formale; vi troviamo le dicotomie bene-male, intelletto-emotività, ragione-istinto, la tendenza a trovare una ragione morale ai comportamenti umani.

Poe racconta di tre donne, o per meglio dire, tratteggia l'immagine sfuocata, malata e dannata di tre donne alle quali ha dato e tolto la vita, nei suoi terrificanti racconti. Berenice è la spigliata cugina di Egeo, prima ammirata e poi odiata in modo ossessivo. Morella è una sposa che non è stata amata e che per vendetta, proprio nel momento della sua morte, regala un'altra se stessa al suo amato compagno.

This is an early piece by Lovecraft, and likely inspired by Arthur Machen. It is a tale of two sculptors, named Kalos and Musides, in a garden of Pan, in ancient Greece. After Kalos dies, an olive tree begins to overtake his tomb, and Musides finds his own thoughts to be increasingly haunted.
