Sinopsis

Collected Short Stories, Volume 7 continues Arthur Conan Doyle's survey of his own wide-ranging short fiction. In this collection, the focus shifts to tales of intrigue and suspense. Doyle's knack for crime storytelling is on display in several tight plots involving clever deceptions and justice served. There are also humorous exploits – one story might recount the misadventures of bumbling burglars, while another portrays an absurd duel of wits in high society. Volume 4 doesn't shy away from the macabre, either: a few stories venture into darker territory, with twist endings that reveal criminal horrors or ironic fates. For example, a story like "The Silver Hatchet" mixes crime with a touch of the supernatural in a tale of a cursed object causing madness. Overall, this volume provides a thrilling reading experience, oscillating between light-hearted capers and grim mysteries, all unified by Doyle's clear, vigorous prose.

    There is no Number 13 at the hotel.

    But when shadows stretch in the wrong direction and the architecture begins to forget its own shape, what starts as a quiet academic stay becomes something else entirely.
    Elegant, unsettling, and steeped in the unseen, Number 13 is M. R. James at his most refined—where the floorplan of reality folds, and one door too many stands ajar.

    Some enemies never die. They just wait to be remembered. 
     
    Salem was meant to be a fresh start. But when ER Nurse Henry Trank starts dreaming of a woman being hunted through the snow, the nightmare follows him into daylight—right down to the pine needles tangled in his hair. 
     
    What began as a haunting dream spirals into something far more terrifying. Desperate for answers, he records himself sleeping—only to discover he's acting out the brutal final moments of the woman's life. 
     
    Henry turns to the only person in town he trusts—an enchanting, sharp-tongued, green-eyed witch with a quiet strength and a presence that feels eerily familiar. There's something between them—undeniable, electric, and older than memory. 
     
    There's just one little problem—Henry doesn't buy any of this, and time is running out. If he can't be convinced to believe in magic—or in her—Salem's dark history might just reach across three centuries to claim them both . . . again. 
     
    In Your Dreams is the captivating first book in Robert Sanborn's League of the Moon series—where magic never dies, nightmares whisper secrets, and a love once lost may be the key to breaking a centuries-old curse written in blood and shadow.

    In the fading New England village of Stillwater, the dead are supposed to lie quietly. But when a violent drunk collapses and is mistakenly declared dead, and an undertaker experimenting with strange embalming fluids meets the same fate, the earth refuses to keep their secrets buried. 
    At the heart of it all is Sophie Sprague—fearful, isolated, and trapped beneath the shadow of her brutal brother Tom and the unwanted attentions of Henry Thorndike, the town’s unsettling undertaker. When both men are laid to rest in a hurried double funeral, their passing stirs whispers through the town. Henry’s dying plea—“I am not dead… do not bury me!”—is brushed aside. But that night, Sophie hears voices rising faintly from the burying-ground, voices that call her by name… voices that accuse. 
    Meanwhile, Johnny Dow, the simple-minded boy who assisted Henry, roams the graveyard claiming the dead are trying to speak—and that they are not done with Sophie. 
    Written by Hazel Heald and H. P. Lovecraft, The Horror in the Burying-Ground is a chilling tale of guilt, rumor, and premature burial—where the line between conscience and the supernatural blurs, and the past refuses to stay underground. 
    Narrated with atmospheric tension by Phil Thompson, this classic short horror story delivers creeping dread the way only early 20th-century New England terror can.

    Step into the midnight gloom where the shadows whisper secrets and the air pulses with an otherworldly rhythm. The Raven isn't just a poem; it's a descent into the labyrinth of loss and longing, where a single word—nevermore—echoes like a heartbeat in the void. Edgar Allan Poe masterfully crafts a symphony of despair, weaving melancholy into each verse until it drips with haunting beauty.
    This is not a tale of answers but of unyielding questions. Who truly haunts this chamber—the raven, the memory of Lenore, or the narrator's unraveling mind? As the candlelight flickers, Poe invites us to linger in the darkness, daring us to find solace or terror in its depths. Here, the familiar becomes strange, and the boundaries between reality and imagination blur into a dreamscape of chilling wonder.
