Summary

Sam couldn’t have imagined a second pair of glasses with even greater powers; the personal cost of holding on to even one pair was too high.
 
Deciding to take on a position of power for her country was not an option, if she wanted to keep the rest of her family safe. But after discovering the second pair’s forbidden powers, Sam knew instantly that this was all she needed to put an end to all others who sought to use the glasses' powers for the wrong purposes.
 
Finding herself in mortal danger, can Sam find a way stop her enemies while protecting her family?

    In this emotionally raw and propulsive folk horror-mystery, a journalist goes to a small town and unravels a dark secret that the women have been keeping for generations. 
    Marshall is still trying to put the pieces together after the death of her husband. After she is involved in a terrible accident, her editor sends her to the small, backwards town of Raeford to investigate a clearly ridiculous rumor: that a horse has given birth to a healthy, human baby boy. 
    When Marshall arrives in Raeford, she finds an insular town that is kinder to the horses they are famous for breeding than to their own people. But when two horribly mangled bodies are discovered in a field—one a horse, one a human—she realizes that there might be a real story here. 
    As she’s pulled deeper into the town and its guarded people, her sense of reality is tipped on its head. Is she losing her grip? Or is this impossible story the key to a dark secret that has haunted the women of Raeford for generations? 
    Unbearably tense and utterly gripping, this atmospheric tale of female rage, bodily autonomy, and generational trauma hails the arrival of a masterful storyteller.

    Title: Roger Dodsworth: The Reanimated Englishman 
    Author: Mary Shelley 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1826 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 89 
    Description: 
    Roger Dodsworth: The Reanimated Englishman is a haunting example of Mary Shelley’s mastery of early Gothic horror, blending science, morality, and the uncanny. The story follows the discovery of a man preserved in ice for more than a century, and the profound consequences of restoring him to life. As Dodsworth awakens, he carries with him the manners, memories, and worldview of a bygone era—alien and dissonant in the present world. 
    Rather than relying on spectacle, Shelley builds unease through atmosphere, character reaction, and the philosophical weight of revival. The horror emerges not from the act of reanimation itself, but from the unsettling confrontation between past and present, and the implications of bringing something once long dead back into a world that has moved on. 
    Central to Roger Dodsworth is Shelley’s exploration of mortality, memory, and human ambition. The narrative probes the moral and emotional consequences of defying natural law, revealing a subtle, persistent dread that resonates long after the final page. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance emphasizes Shelley’s quiet tension, lingering eeriness, and reflective horror. Roger Dodsworth: The Reanimated Englishman remains a striking example of early nineteenth-century Gothic fiction—where curiosity, science, and obsession intersect, and the boundaries of life and death are disturbingly blurred.

    Marvin Deitz has some serious problems. His mob-connected landlord is strong-arming him out of his storefront. His therapist has concerns about his stability. He' s compelled to volunteer at the local Children' s Hospital even though it breaks his heart every week.
    Oh, and he' s also the guilt-ridden reincarnation of Geoffroy Thé rage, the French executioner who lit Joan of Arc' s pyre in 1431. He' s just seen a woman on a Los Angeles talk show claiming to be Joan, and absolution seems closer than it' s ever been . . . but how will he find her?
    When Marvin heads to Los Angeles to locate the woman who may or may not be Joan, he' s picked up hitchhiking by Mike Vale, a self-destructive alcoholic painter traveling to his ex-wife' s funeral. As they move through a California landscape populated with " smokes" (ghostly apparitions that' ve inexplicably begun appearing throughout the southwestern US), each seeks absolution in his own way.
