  Mrs Dalloway is a novel by Virginia Woolf, published on 14 May 1925, that details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional upper-class woman in post-First World War England. It is one of Woolf's best-known novels. 
   
  The working title of Mrs Dalloway was The Hours. The novel began as two short stories, "Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street" and the unfinished "The Prime Minister". The book describes Clarissa's preparations for a party she will host in the evening, and the ensuing party. With an interior perspective, the story travels forwards and backwards in time, to construct an image of Clarissa's life and of the inter-war social structure. The novel addresses the nature of time in personal experience through multiple interwoven stories. 
   
  In October 2005, Mrs Dalloway was included on TIME Magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since its first issue in 1923. 
   
  Woolf began writing professionally in 1900. After her father's death in 1904, the Stephen family moved from Kensington to the more bohemian Bloomsbury, where, in conjunction with the brothers' intellectual friends, they formed the artistic and literary Bloomsbury Group. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, and in 1917, the couple founded the Hogarth Press, which published much of her work. They rented a home in Sussex and moved there permanently in 1940. Woolf had romantic relationships with women, including Vita Sackville-West, who also published her books through Hogarth Press. Both women's literature became inspired by their relationship, which lasted until Woolf's death. 
   
  A beautifully wrought audiobook exclusive treasure.

  The Haunted House

  "I have not the least belief in ghosts... and yet, I was not comfortable."
  
  Determined to debunk the rumors of a spirit-plagued manor in the English countryside, the pragmatic John Herschel rents a "haunted" house for the Christmas season. He invites a diverse group of friends to inhabit the various rooms, each tasked with observing any supernatural activity. But instead of clanking chains and white sheets, the guests find themselves confronted by the shadows of their own memories and the peculiar "ghosts" of their past lives.
  
  A Masterclass in Collaborative Mystery: Originally published as part of the Christmas edition of All the Year Round, Dickens's framing story is a brilliant subversion of the genre. While it features the classic elements of a spooky setting—strange noises, local superstitions, and eerie corridors—it transitions into a series of poignant psychological portraits. It asks the question: Are the things that haunt us truly outside, or are they the unvoiced regrets we carry from room to room?
  
  Humor Meets the Macabre: Dickens brings his unparalleled wit and characterization to the narrative, particularly through the interactions of the skeptical John, his sister Patty, and the various "Bachelors" who take up the challenge. The Haunted House is a cozy yet unsettling read, perfect for those who love the Gothic atmosphere of the 19th century but appreciate a narrative that values human insight over simple jump-scares.
  
  Unmask the spirits of the season. Purchase "The Haunted House" today and discover what truly lurks in the shadows.

  Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
  THE UNEXPECTED: It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. The tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens.
