Beschreibung

In "The Greatest Ghost Stories of Algernon Blackwood," the legendary author delves into the realms of the supernatural with a deft blend of psychological depth and atmospheric description. Blackwood's literary style is marked by a profound reverence for nature and the unexplained, creating a tapestry of narratives that evoke both dread and wonder. The stories genre-bend between realism and mysticism, inviting readers into the unsettling spaces where human existence intersects with the otherworldly. Each tale not only entertains but stimulates reflections on existential themes, as Blackwood masterfully plays with the tension between the known and the unknown, showcasing his contributions to the early 20th-century ghost literature canon. Algernon Blackwood, a distinguished figure in early horror fiction, possessed a deep engagement with nature and spirituality that informed his work. His personal experiences, including time spent exploring the wilderness and a fascination with the supernatural, paved the way for his unique storytelling. Influenced by the Symbolist movement and his encounters with the mystical, Blackwood sought to capture the ineffable, making him a pioneer who greatly influenced subsequent writers in the genre. I highly recommend "The Greatest Ghost Stories of Algernon Blackwood" to both enthusiasts of classic horror and those seeking profound insights into the human psyche. This collection not only showcases Blackwood's extraordinary narrative skill but also offers timeless explorations of fear and wonder, making it a must-read for anyone intrigued by the spectral and the sublime.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    ''With a group of heroes gradually growing around him, Dash returns to the Forest Realm, treading in the ancient footpaths of those who came before, and many truths are at last revealed. The Three are something built into reality itself, a naturally occurring cosmic phenomenon, and their destiny takes priority over all other things. The Brain intends to destroy both good and evil, but countless of its unknowing instruments fill the universe. It is unclear what fate would befall all those associated with good and evil should the Brain succeed. It could mean the destruction of all intelligent life in the cosmos. To protect the people of Deluuvius, Dash and his friends choose to oppose the unknown by physically imprisoning the Three. But doubt within the group begins to grow as the cosmic drama unfolds.'' (This fully-voiced audio-drama has unique music, sound effects, and even a different voice for each character)

    I'm Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the sea wicche, or the wicche who lives by the sea. It requires a lot more work than I'd anticipated to remodel an abandoned cannery and turn it into an art gallery & tea bar. It's coming along, though, especially with the help of a new werewolf who's joined the construction crew. He does beautiful work. His sexy, growly, bearded presence is very hard to ignore, but I'm trying. I'm not sure how such a laid-back guy got the local Alpha and his pack threatening to hunt him down and tear him apart, but we all have our secrets. And because I don't want to know his—or yours for that matter—I wear these gloves. Clairvoyance makes the simplest things the absolute worst. Trust me. Or don't. Totally up to you. 
     
     
     
    Did I mention my mother and grandmother are pressuring me to assume my rightful place on the Corey Council? That's a kind of governing triad for our ancient magical family, one that has more than its fair share of black magic practitioners. And yes, before you ask, people have killed to be on the council—one psychotic sorceress aunt comes to mind—but I have no interest in the power or politics that come with the position. I'd rather stick to my art and, in the words of my favorite sea wicche, help poor unfortunate souls. (Good luck trying to get that song out of your head now.)

    Cath Barton's melancholic novella Between The Virgin and the Sea is set in an unnamed city which has fallen off the map of the world, and is accessible now only by sea.
    Violence has broken out in the city and the people, fearing that the church is involved, pray instead at roadside shrines.
    The story tells the events of a day at the end of which the white statue of the Virgin which stands on a hill overlooking the city may ― or may not ― come to life to restore peace to its people. Central to the story and living in the barrios is a boy called Tag, the things of which he dreams and the maps he draws.
    Set in a surreal and changing city, in which pizza delivery is carried out by donkey, and nothing may be what it seems, Between the Virgin and the Sea explores themes of childhood and coming of age.
    A captivating blend of magical realism, tender comedy, and literary experimentation, Between the Virgin and the Sea is a captivating portrait of urban life quite unlike any other.
