In the depths of Felsinbherg, a town shrouded in cold and mist, lay a dark secret lurking in the shadows. The arrival of an ancient wooden soldier into the hands of Emma and Alexander's family triggered a series of sinister events that transformed the quiet life of the town into an endless nightmare. As time progressed, the wooden soldier took on a life of its own, mysteriously changing positions and filling the house with its increasingly malevolent laughter.

A visit to Nikolas' antique shop reveals a macabre past but also provides crucial clues to break the curse. As the town plunges into panic and the murders continue, police officer Jacob intensifies his efforts to apprehend the unknown killer. The struggle against the curse becomes a desperate mission to free Felsinbherg from the terror consuming it.
In their quest for answers, the characters confront a terrifying reality about the origin of the curse.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll...

Robert Louis Stevenson

A dimly lit Victorian study. A mirror reflects two sides of the same man—one side dignified, clean-shaven, and composed (Dr. Jekyll), the other snarling, shadowy, and wild-eyed (Mr. Hyde). 
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a psychological thriller and gothic masterpiece that explores the duality of human nature and the shadows that lurk beneath respectability. First published in 1886, this novella follows the story of the respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll, whose secret experiments unleash his dark alter ego—Mr. Edward Hyde—upon Victorian London. 
As Hyde’s brutal and violent behavior spirals out of control, Jekyll must confront the terrifying consequences of his scientific ambition. Told through multiple perspectives, this eerie and atmospheric tale has remained a chilling allegory of repression, identity, and the human soul. 
This full audiobook brings Stevenson’s gripping prose to life with haunting narration, immersing listeners in cobblestone alleyways, flickering gaslights, and the eerie fog of 19th-century London. A must-listen for fans of gothic fiction, classic horror, and literary suspense.
