  The Oval Portrait

  Edgar Allan Poe

  A shadowy, candlelit chamber in a crumbling gothic mansion. A man in 19th-century clothing gazes up at a large, ornately framed portrait of a beautiful woman, her eyes lifelike and sorrowful. The room is draped in shadows and rich tapestries. A cold draft stirs the curtains. The atmosphere is haunting, melancholic, and filled with artistic reverence and dread. 
  The Oval Portrait by Edgar Allan Poe is a haunting, compact masterpiece of gothic fiction, blending themes of obsession, art, and mortality. First published in 1842, this eerie short story follows a weary traveler who, while resting in an abandoned chateau, becomes transfixed by a striking portrait of a young woman—one that seems almost unnervingly alive. 
  As he uncovers the painting’s backstory, the tale takes a dark and unforgettable turn. What emerges is a chilling meditation on the destructive power of artistic passion, and the blurred line between life and art. 
  This full audiobook brings Poe’s rich, atmospheric prose to life with immersive narration that captures the tale’s dread and melancholy. Ideal for listeners drawn to classic horror, literary symbolism, and the macabre genius of Poe.

  Some houses remember what the world tried to forget. 
   
  When three empty-nest friends purchase a neglected 1860s Greek Revival in San Antonio’s historic district, they believe they’re investing in a renovation project—and a fresh start. 
   
  They aren’t expecting the attic footsteps. 
   
  Or the woman in white. 
   
  Ellen has always been practical, skeptical, grounded in reality. But when strange occurrences escalate and long-buried records surface, even she can’t ignore the truth: the house is holding onto something. 
   
  Decades earlier, the property operated as a private medical residence for women—patients declared unstable, difficult, or hysterical. Their diagnoses were signed. Their confinement justified. Their stories erased. 
   
  Until now. 
   
  As Ellen, Sue, and Tanya dig into hospital archives, interview guarded neighbors, and uncover evidence someone doesn’t want exposed, they realize this isn’t just a haunting. 
   
  It’s a reckoning. 
   
  Because the women who suffered behind those walls were silenced in life. 
   
  And they will not remain silent in death. 
   
  In this gripping opening to the Mystery House Series, friendship, history, and the supernatural collide in a story about forgotten voices, buried truths, and three women brave enough to listen. 
   
  Content Note: This novel explores historical injustices, including references to sexual assault within the context of institutional abuse.
