Heathcliff was to serve as the name for the ragged orphan whom Mr. Earnshaw found abandoned in the streets of Liverpool and took home to live with his own children, Cathy and Hindley, at Wuthering Heights.

Descrive inoltre mirabilmente lo stato di dipendenza provocato dalle droghe e l’illusione di potersene liberare facilmente si trova tutta nella frase del protagonista: “Posso liberarmi di Mr. Hyde quando voglio”.

Una novela terroríficamente brillante. Tras recibir una extraña carta de su prima recién casada, Noemí Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa en el campo en México, sin saber qué encontrará allí. Noemí no parece tener dotes de salvadora: es glamurosa, más acostumbrada a asistir a cócteles que a las tareas de detective. Pero también es fuerte, inteligente y no tiene miedo: ni del nuevo marido de su prima, un inglés amenazante y seductor; ni de su padre, el antiguo patriarca que parece fascinado por Noemí; ni de la casa, que empieza a invadir los sueños de Noemí con visiones de sangre y fatalidad.

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.

La piccola imbarcazione viene sospinta dai flutti delle onde al centro di un immenso vortice perenne presente in quella zona, chiamato maelström. Per i pescatori è impossibile sfuggire a quel fenomeno naturale: una volta che si viene attirati verso il centro, infatti, si apre un abisso a forma di cono, che scaraventa la barca sul fondale con incredibile violenza. I marinai vengono risucchiati dal vortice, ma uno di loro si salva aggrappandosi a un barile vuoto.

Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.
