Bei der Poldi bleibt's weiterhin turbulent. Es kreuzen wieder mal viel zu viele M?nner ihren Weg, die ihr das Leben schwer machen. Und dann verschwindet auch noch einer: Thomas, der vor zwei Wochen mit einem Koffer ?u?erst wertvollen Inhalts von Tansania nach Europa aufgebrochen ist. Dass er diesen Koffer einem afrikanischen Boss gestohlen hat, macht die Sache nicht unbedingt besser. Als Poldi Thomas schlie?lich aufsp?rt, ist der Afrikaner leider bereits mausetot und auch nicht mehr ganz vollst?ndig. Klar, dass die Poldi wieder mal f?r Gerechtigkeit sorgen muss! Das wiederum missf?llt nicht nur Montana, dem Commissario ihres Herzens, sondern auch John, dem Ex-Mann ihres Herzens. Aber die Poldi w?re schlie?lich nicht die Poldi, wenn sie sich auch nur von irgendwem von irgendetwas abhalten lie?e … Der dritte Teil der humorvollen Cozy-Crime-Reihe aus der Feder des Bestseller-Autors Mario Giordano mit der charismatischen und einzigartigen Tante Poldi.

The Call of Cthulhu by Howard Phillips «H. P.» Lovecraft is one of the classic horror works, so called “Lovecraft horrors”. According to the comment of one of the Lovecraft’s friends: “One day Howard looked into something where the man shouldn’t ever have looked.” It’s hard to say whether it was true. But even if it is just someone’s fantasy it should be admitted that Lovecraft’s amazing and impressive writing skills created a lot of monsters and chthonian beasts that still astonish human mind. Cthulhu is a gigantic monstrous beast that drowses in the depths of the ocean and waits for the end of the times to rise and destroy this world. “…hidden in distant wasters and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Ctulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R’lyeh under the waters… Some day he would call, when the stars were ready…to liberate him.” One of these short appearances of a gigantic ancient demon is described in this story by Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

"The Call of Cthulhu" by Howard Phillips H. P. Lovecraft is one of the classic horror works, so called “Lovecraft horrors”. American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror; the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Christian humanism. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality. Some people adore it, some people find it way too long (reading it is definitely work), but everyone agrees it’s a monumental story that ties together the universe where “The Call of Cthulhu,” The Shadow Over Innsmouth, “The Dunwich Horror,” and lots of other stories exist. A group of explorers go to Antarctica and discover evidence of a previous civilization. I don’t want to spoil the surprises, but I can at least tell you the big discovery the explorers make: There are things that even monsters fear. Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Horror at Red Hook, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadows over Innsmouth, The Alchemist, Herbert West: Reanimator, Ex Oblivione, Azathoth, The Call of Cthulhu, The Cats of Ulthar, The Outsider, The Picture in the House, The Shunned House, The Terrible Old Man, The Tomb, What the Moon Brings.

"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled «The Casque of Amontillado» [a.mon.ti.??a.?o]) is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement.

In the tale, an unnamed narrator relates the story of how a law forbidding the killing of cats came to be in a town called Ulthar. As the narrative goes, the city is home to an old couple who enjoy capturing and killing the townspeople's cats. When a caravan of wanderers passes through the city, the kitten of an orphan (Menes) traveling with the band disappears. Upon hearing of the couple's violent acts towards cats, Menes invokes a prayer before leaving town that causes the local felines to swarm the cat-killers' house and devour them. Upon witnessing the result, the local politicians pass a law forbidding the killing of cats. Influenced by Lord Dunsany, the tale was a personal favorite of Lovecraft's and has remained popular since his death. Considered one of the best short stories of Lovecraft's early period, aspects of The Cats of Ulthar would be referenced again in the author's works The Other Gods and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

In the tale, an unnamed narrator pieces together the story of an area known by the locals as the «blasted heath» in the wild hills west of the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts. The narrator discovers that many years ago a meteorite crashed there, poisoning every living being nearby; vegetation grows large but foul tasting, animals are driven mad and deformed into grotesque shapes, and the people go insane or die one by one. Lovecraft began writing «The Colour Out of Space» immediately after finishing his previous short novel, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and in the midst of final revision on his horror fiction essay «Supernatural Horror in Literature». Seeking to create a truly alien life form, he drew inspiration from numerous fiction and nonfiction sources. First appearing in the September 1927 edition of Hugo Gernsback's science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, «The Colour Out of Space» became one of Lovecraft's most popular works, and remained his personal favorite of his short stories.

"The Dreams in the Witch House" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, part of the Cthulhu Mythos cycle. Written in January/February 1932, it was first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales. Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics and folklore at Miskatonic University, rents an attic room in the «Witch House», a house in Arkham, Massachusetts that is rumored to be cursed. The house once harboured Keziah Mason, an accused witch who disappeared mysteriously from a Salem jail in 1692. Gilman discovers that, for the better part of two centuries, many of the attic's occupants have died prematurely. The dimensions of Gilman's attic room are unusual and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry. Gilman theorizes that the structure can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another. Gilman begins experiencing bizarre dreams in which he seems to float without physical form through an otherworldly space of unearthly geometry and indescribable colors and sounds. Among the elements, both organic and inorganic, he perceives shapes that he innately recognizes as entities which appear and disappear instantaneously and at random. Several times, his dreaming-self encounters bizarre clusters of «iridescent, prolately spheroidal bubbles», as well as a rapidly changing polyhedral-figure, both of which appear sapient. Gilman also has nightly experiences involving Keziah and her rat-bodied, human-faced familiar, Brown Jenkin, which he believes are not dreams at all. In other dreams, Gilman is taken to a city of the «Elder Things» and even brings back evidence that he has actually been there—a miniature statue of an «Elder Thing» which he breaks off from a balustrade within the city. The statue is made of unknown materials and a strange kind of alloy… Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Horror at Red Hook, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadows over Innsmouth, The Alchemist, Reanimator, Ex Oblivione, Azathoth, The Call of Cthulhu, The Cats of Ulthar, The Dunwich Horror, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, The Festival, The Silver Key, The Other Gods, The Outsider, The Temple, The Picture in the House, The Shunned House, The Terrible Old Man, The Tomb, Dagon, From Beyond, What the Moon Brings.
