Is there enough time for the three 'lucky' teens to escape? Or will they be stuck, on the moon, forever? ![]() There is something up there that will send shivers through your body. There is a reason that nobody had returned to the moon. It instantly becomes a sensation and young people all over the world sign up for the lottery, even though none of them heard of this mysterious DARLAH 2 base. ![]() But why has nobody heard of Darlah before? And why is an old man, Oleg Himmelfarb, so terrified when he sees the drawings of Darlah 2 on the television?

Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve read the Throne of Glass series and enjoyed A Court of Thorns and Roses well enough ( at least the first and the second), but I resisted reading Crescent City because a) Urban Fantasy is just not my thing, and b) ANGELS?
