Dark Fantasy

[close] The Anatomy of Suspense: Dissecting the Mind Behind the Mystery Welcome to the official Goodreads group for author Hermes Marcondes Lourenço! This is the central hub for readers who crave psychological thrillers, gripping suspense, and scientifically informed mystery built on a foundation of clinical reality. As a practicing physician, professor of Urgency Medicine, and certified in Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis, I use my deep, unique understanding of human trauma, the limits of the mind, and psychopathology to craft fiction that is not just surprising—it’s intensely, unsettlingly plausible. If you enjoy a "roller coaster of sensations and emotions," complex characters, and plots that delve into the darkness of the human psyche—from brutal psychopaths (Faces de Um Anjo) and gripping historical mysteries (The Witching Hour) to global conspiracies (THE NEPHESH PROTOCOL) and elements of dark fantasy (The Goblin: The Price of the Soul)—you belong here. What you’ll find in The Anatomy of Suspense: Exclusive Q&A sessions and discussions with Hermes Lourenço. Behind-the-scenes insights into the medical and psychological research that informs the novels. Early news about upcoming releases, including international translations in English and German. Debates and recommendations on the best suspense, mystery, and scientifically informed thrillers across the genre. Ready to dissect the next plot? Join the collective!

[close] From the sensual to the sizzling, EROS explores a wide variety of fictional adult romance/erotica sub-genres for adult readers who appreciate when 'fade to black' scenes are ripped away to reveal ..... the rest of the story in all it's graphic glory. We are an intimate and warm group that hosts reading challenges, book chats, daily free book finds, and more. Further, for those who enjoy socializing, we include games, sharing of artistic images, and other amusements targeted to members who enjoy being part of a respectful adult only crowd. 12 years ago, we began as group EROTICA, one of the premier adult only romance groups on GR. EROS is our more intimate offshoot of that group, bringing together like minded adults in a newly revamped atmosphere.
