Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature’s hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein. Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever. ©2020 Pandora's Box (P)2020 Pandora's BoxShow book

A condemned man's final confession. A beloved pet turns into an instrument of terror. A crime that cannot stay buried. Edgar Allan Poe pens one of the most psychologically devastating tales ever written—now brought to life in a chilling dramatic narration that will haunt you long after the final words fade. On the eve of his execution, a prisoner writes his confession. He was once a gentle soul who cherished animals above all else. His favorite companion: a magnificent black cat named Pluto. But alcohol poisoned his mind, and something dark awakened within him—a perverse impulse to destroy what he loved most. What follows is a descent into madness so complete, so horrifying, that it defies explanation. An act of unspeakable cruelty. A house consumed by flames. A ghostly image seared into stone. And then... the cat returns. Or does it? This new cat bears an uncanny resemblance to Pluto, except for one detail: a white marking on its chest that grows clearer each day, forming the shape of something terrible. Something that looks like a gallows. As the narrator's sanity crumbles, his hatred for the creature intensifies. In a moment of blind rage, he strikes—but the axe finds the wrong victim. To conceal his crime, he walls up the evidence in his cellar, brick by brick, sealing away his darkest secret. But guilt cannot be buried. And some witnesses cannot be silenced. When the police arrive, what's hidden will claw its way into the light in one of literature's most shocking and unforgettable climaxes. Experience the story that defined psychological horror. Chikondi Chanthunya delivers Poe's masterpiece with gut-wrenching intensity, capturing every shade of the protagonist's deteriorating mind—from tender affection to explosive violence, from cunning confidence to gibbering terror. Contains themes of violence and psychological horror. Listener discretion advised.Show book
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. They came to debunk a haunting. They left forever changed. Ten years ago, Rebecca and Jonathan Pearson were confident sceptics—respected university professors by day, paranormal investigators by night. Their mission was simple: expose hoaxes, explain the unexplainable, and prove that ghosts were nothing more than stories. Then came Marlstone Hall. Hidden deep in the English countryside, the old orphanage has a dark reputation—whispered tales of shadows in the corridors, of children waking to find figures looming over their beds. To the Pearsons, it seems like just another case. But as their investigations begin to unravel, so too do their assumptions. The phenomena defy logic. The house resists explanation. And the deeper they go, the more they begin to suspect the unthinkable—that Marlstone Hall isn’t just haunted … it’s alive.Show book
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. They came through a tear in the fabric of reality. And the only man who survived to tell the truth was the one they court-martialed for saying so. When a catastrophic accident at CERN rips open a dimensional gateway beneath the Swiss Alps, Captain Memphis Stone leads his multinational special operations team into the darkness below. What they find has no name in any military doctrine: eight-legged predators that shrug off automatic fire, a seven-foot nightmare of razor spines that weaponizes pure fear, and a body count that climbs until Stone is the only one left standing. He survives. His career doesn't. Discharged and dismissed as a trauma case, Stone watches the Army bury the truth along with his men. But someone else has been paying attention. Project Cerberus — a covert organization that exists precisely for moments the world refuses to acknowledge — knows what lives on the other side of those rifts. And they need someone who's already been there and come back. Stone is offered a second chance: build an elite multinational hunter team, train them for a war no government will admit is happening, and go back into the dark. Not to investigate. To fight. The rifts aren't closing on their own. The creatures pouring through them are getting bolder. And whatever is coordinating the incursions has already noticed the man who survived the first encounter. Welcome to the front lines. The HELLstalkers series launches here — military supernatural thriller at the intersection of special operations fiction and cosmic horror, perfect for fans of Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International, Patrick Lee's The Breach, and the hard-edged intensity of Tom Clancy meets H.P. Lovecraft.Show book
