  "The Call of Cthulhu" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales Magazine. 
  "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." 
  With these iconic words, Lovecraft opens The Call of Cthulhu, a cornerstone of twentieth-century horror and the defining tale of his vast Cthulhu Mythos. Presented as a series of interconnected documents and testimonies, the story follows a professor's descent into the tangled threads of a global mystery—a series of strange dreams, cult activity, and ancient carvings that all point to the same terrifying revelation: the Great Old One known as Cthulhu is real—and not entirely asleep.

  What the sea takes for its own can never return… 
  Portugal, 1754. Cecilia Lamb knew being a sea captain’s wife would mean a life of waiting and watching the horizon for her husband’s ship. But John has been gone longer than any voyage should last. Everyone else has given up hope of his return. But she knows in her bones that he is not lost. Gone, but not lost. 
  Barely able to tear her eyes from the shimmering sea, she feels drawn to the sun-baked shoreline, and amid the bustle of the docks she feels certain that her husband will come back to her. Though along with that feeling is another sense – that something darker is coming. As she sickens, she doesn’t know what the next tide will bring – but she begins to fear as well as crave her husband’s homecoming. 
  Soon, even on dry land, Cecilia can feel the pull of the ocean at her feet, the movement of the tides within her. Warning, seduction or promise, she cannot tell, but one thing is certain – the sea holds many secrets, and some of them are too powerful to ever be drowned. 
  In this latest work of fiction by Mathew West, the supernatural and gothic elements intertwine to create a thrilling narrative that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. The Water Child, a top pick among thrillers, delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche, exploring the horror that can arise from the depths of despair and longing.

  The Moth

  In H. G. Wells’s haunting tale The Moth, scientific rivalry turns to psychological horror in a chilling study of obsession and guilt. 
   When the proud entomologist Hapley destroys the reputation of his longtime nemesis, Professor Pawkins, the victory proves fatal — Pawkins dies shortly after the public humiliation. But Hapley’s triumph curdles into torment when a strange moth begins to appear in his study… a moth no one else can see. 
  Is it the ghost of his rival returned for revenge, or the unraveling of a fevered mind? 
   Set in the dim lamplight of Victorian science, The Moth is a masterful descent into madness — part ghost story, part psychological dissection — from one of the founding fathers of modern speculative fiction. 
  Narrated by Myriam Berger, this performance brings eerie intimacy to Wells’s portrait of intellectual pride, guilt, and the thin line between reason and insanity.
