Summary

Marvin Spangler is a self-centered, ill-equipped teacher of high school history, tasked by his principal to form an auctioneering team that has a chance in hell of winning a Tennessee state championship.
 
It comes as a welcome diversion from his tepid life as an unfulfilled husband to his icy pediatrician wife Lydia, and barely-there father to a unique set of children.
 
He assembles a team comprising three very different souls: Larry Jr., the damaged prodigy, is led by fate, Eric, the obsessed jock, by unrequited love, and Helen, the usually disinterested beauty, by an inexplicable fascination.
 
Together they surrender to a journey that carries them to the cusp of the summit of their dreams... and the nightmares awaiting far down below.
Available since: 05/04/2022.

    Peace ends in the spirit of joy. 
                                                                 
    Alec was seeking a respite from city life. He thinks he has discovered it on Plymouth Crest, a manor overlooking the forest and a beautiful lake, golden in the sun. But Alec was warned the house is haunted by a murdered pop singer and Hollywood star. 
    Footsteps and howling winds soon disturb his sleep. One night, he finds an intruder, Joy, standing barefoot among broken glass in the kitchen. He chases her out. But she returns, enchanting him with laughter and boundless energy. It’s not long before Alec falls in love. 
    Joy ends when a belligerent character shows up and claims ownership of the house. Alec and Joy have a plan to evict him and bring some resolution to past horrors. If they fail, Alec’s dreams will crumble, and Joy might be subjected to a fate worse than death. But if they succeed, Alec and Joy might be separated forever—and so may end joy. To save Joy—and also have hope of being together—they need a bold plan, bringing them face to face with evils buried in the past, and finding a path to a shared future.

    A haunting confession unfolds in solitude. 
    From her deathbed, Mathilda tells the story she has carried in silence—one marked by love, loss, and a devastating truth that reshaped her life forever. Orphaned young and raised in emotional distance, she is reunited with her father only to face a revelation so profound it fractures their bond and drives him toward irreversible despair. 
    In the aftermath, Mathilda retreats into isolation, burdened by grief and guilt, seeking meaning in a world that feels irreparably altered. Her only connection comes through Woodville, a compassionate poet whose presence offers brief solace but cannot reach the depths of her inner turmoil. 
    Written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley during a period of personal tragedy, Mathilda is an intimate Gothic novella that examines the psychological weight of forbidden emotion, the fragility of human connection, and the quiet unraveling of a soul in retreat from the world. 
    Narrated with emotional clarity by Liz Leafloor, this production brings Shelley's deeply personal and rarely discussed work to life with sensitivity and restraint.

    There is a play so exquisitely beautiful and utterly horrifying that reading past the first act will drive you inexorably insane. Have you seen the Yellow Sign? 
    In a surreal, alternate 1920s New York where lethal chambers stand on street corners and society teeters on the brink of collapse, a terrifying cultural contagion is spreading. A published manuscript—a forbidden play—is circulating the globe. Those who read it are immediately haunted by visions of black stars, the alien twin suns of the Lake of Hali, and the mysterious, tattered entity known only as the King in Yellow. As delusional aristocrats plot bloody rebellions, ambitious sculptors unlock cursed alchemical secrets, and paranoid artists are hunted by shadowy figures in the echoing churches of Paris, reality itself begins to fray for anyone touched by the accursed pages. 
    Why you will love this: This unparalleled masterpiece of Weird Fiction stands as a crucial bridge between gothic literature and modern cosmic horror. If you crave atmospheric terror, decadent psychological thrillers, and rich mythologies filled with unreliable narrators, madness, and eldritch dread, this mind-bending descent into Carcosa will utterly consume your imagination. 
    About the Author: Robert W. Chambers was an American artist and fiction writer whose early weird and supernatural tales deeply influenced H.P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu Mythos, and the evolution of modern horror. His creation of a sprawling, mind-bending mythology secured his place as one of the most vital architects of the weird fiction genre.
