Deathworld — Harry Harrison
A gambler with uncanny survival instincts is recruited by an interstellar colonist to investigate a planet where everything wants humans dead. The world—Pyrrus—is a biological arms race: hyper-toxic plants, explosive fungi, animals that evolve faster than the colonists can adapt. As Jason dinAlt struggles to survive among the hardened settlers, he begins to suspect the planet itself isn’t simply hostile—it’s responding to them. What looks like a brutal survival story slowly reveals a deeper question about humanity’s relationship with nature and the cost of conquering a world that might not want conquering.

"The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is a short story by the American author Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also to a certain degree a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe admitted it to be a work of pure fiction in letters to his correspondents.
