  Dive into the heart of cosmic horror with H.P. Lovecraft's seminal work, "The Call of Cthulhu." This masterful tale weaves together the mysterious, the terrifying, and the utterly alien, introducing readers to the world of the Great Old Ones, ancient beings of immense power and inscrutable motives. Follow the journey of Francis Wayland Thurston, as he uncovers clues leading to the true nature of the universe and the lurking horror of Cthulhu, asleep in the sunken city of R'lyeh. Lovecraft's richly detailed narrative crafts a universe where the bounds of reality are stretched, and the fragile psyche of humanity is laid bare against the backdrop of the incomprehensible. "The Call of Cthulhu" is not just a story; it's an experience, a chilling descent into the darkness that dwells beyond the veil of human understanding.

  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
  But first, they give me their confessions. 
  My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
  Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
  Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 5 confessions: 
  One thought she gave birth to the antichrist. 
  One has the nickname of The Candyman - any guesses why? 
  One grew up in a cult and believes he's the first of a 'pure' race. 
  Another was part of a secret government test, and I've been waiting for his confession for a while! 
  Then there's this kid who loved Halloween and believed in all the rules. I sure hope you didn't break any... 
  WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?

  Step into the dark heart of The Possession, an audiobook that drags you into a realm where unseen forces claim mind and soul. In this unnerving journey, you’ll:
  
   
  Witness the slow unraveling of reality as a once-peaceful home becomes the epicenter of inexplicable phenomena.
  
   
  Feel the chill of an otherworldly presence—doors slamming on their own, whispers in empty rooms, and shadows that move against the light.
  
   
  Follow desperate attempts to reclaim sanity through ancient rites, tenuous alliances, and the harsh question: what price must be paid to banish what’s within?
  
   
  Confront the fragile boundary between victim and vessel as each revelation tightens the grip of the entity determined to possess you.
  
  
   
  Narrated with a tense, immersive cadence and woven with subtle soundscapes—from distant chanting to the crackle of static—The Possession plunges you into a battle for control of body and mind. Press play—and brace yourself: once you open the door to The Possession, there may be no turning back.

  Life in Hollow Cove has finally settled down—or so I thought. 
  I’m ready to enjoy my new life with my newish husband, but apparently, peace and quiet just isn’t in the cards for me. 
  Enter Lilith—the Goddess of Night and Queen of the Netherworld—who shows up unannounced and demands a favor. Saying no isn’t really an option. I mean, how do you tell a literal goddess to shove it when refusing means she’ll kill you? So yeah, I agree. 
  Big mistake. 
  What she’s asking for is more than I bargained for, and I’m not sure I can go through with it. But if I don’t? Well, she’s made it clear I won’t live to regret it. 
  To top it all off, my aunts and I have been honored with an invitation to compete in the Arcane Summit—the most prestigious magical competition in our world. 
  Prestigious, sure. But it turns out these games are anything but fair, and they’re far more dangerous than anyone let on. 
  With a goddess breathing down my neck and deadly trials ahead, I’m running out of options. If I can’t pull off a miracle, I might not make it out of this alive.
