Sinopse

In "Where England Sets Her Feet," Bernard Capes crafts a compelling narrative that intricately weaves historical drama with elements of psychological depth and vivid landscape description. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, the book delves into the lives of its characters, exploring themes of identity, place, and the inexorable passage of time. Capes'Äô lyrical prose and keen observations of human nature invite readers to navigate the layered complexities of belonging and alienation, using England itself as both setting and character, deeply influencing the narrative arc. Bernard Capes, a novelist and poet of the Victorian era, possessed a keen interest in the intersection of nature and human emotion, which is evident in this work. His background in geology and appreciation for the physical landscapes of England greatly informed his writing, allowing him to paint a rich, immersive picture that evokes both nostalgia and a sense of wonder. The author'Äôs own travels and experiences throughout the English countryside imbue the novel with authenticity and depth, drawing the reader into a world that feels both familiar and hauntingly distant. I highly recommend "Where England Sets Her Feet" to readers who appreciate richly rendered landscapes intertwined with profound psychological explorations. Capes'Äô masterful storytelling and lyrical style not only captivate the imagination but also encourage reflection on the relationships between individuals and their environments, making this novel a timeless contribution to the literary canon.

    Title: The Shadow Over Innsmouth 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1936 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Part 3 of Number 56 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Shadow Over Innsmouth is Lovecraft’s classic tale of a decaying seaside town bound to an ancient horror from the deep. 
    The story follows a traveler who visits the isolated port of Innsmouth, only to discover its inhabitants bear unsettling, amphibious traits — bulging eyes, flabby lips, and a strange, slinking gait. Through whispered rumors and a terrifying night on the run, he uncovers the truth: generations ago, the townsfolk struck a pact with the Deep Ones, an ancient ocean-dwelling race that offers wealth and longevity at a terrible cost. 
    As the narrator flees through collapsing streets and foggy wharves, pursued by inhuman figures emerging from the sea, he confronts a revelation far more disturbing than the town itself — one that ties his own fate to Innsmouth’s monstrous legacy. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this public-domain classic is revived in a fresh, chilling performance. The Shadow Over Innsmouth remains a cornerstone of maritime horror and one of Lovecraft’s most enduring nightmares.

    Witch, humbug. 
     
     
     
    Forty and fabulous is my motto. It's been twenty years since I escaped Whispering Willows and my humble beginnings. Now I live in LA, working my dream job as head witch at a growing corporation, getting paid the big bucks to cast spells some might find morally questionable. 
     
     
     
    Life is perfect. 
     
     
     
    Until the night my boyfriend surprises me with a "romantic" getaway in the middle of nowhere, and I find a shovel and rope in his trunk. Romance is truly dead. 
     
     
     
    Worse, I somehow cast a curse upon myself. Now some stalker ghosts want to force me into my past, present, and future. I have to return home, the only place I can get the answers I need. 
     
     
     
    All while dealing with a mother who hasn't forgiven me for leaving and a childhood best friend who's aged into a sexy werewolf. 
     
     
     
    Forget head witch, I'm going to be a dead witch unless I find a way to stop these ghosts from taking my soul, and any chance of redemption I may have along with it.

    To have logic, to reason things out, to have a sense of what is and isn’t and what can and can’t is one of the traits we identify with being human. 
     
    Sad to say that sometimes there are some amongst us who lose touch with this function, are unable to bring order and control to their world.  That is not only a tragedy for themselves but can also have horrific consequences on those around them. 
     
    Our wordsmiths in this volume, including Leo Tolstoy,  Anatole France, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and others explore and exploit their stories and characters in a quest to share and shape our view and experience of what it may be like inside the Mind of Madness.
