  Vernon Lee was born Violet Paget on 4th October 1856 in Boulogne, France to intellectual expatriate British parents.   
   
  In common with several other very talented literary women of the day she felt it necessary to publish under a masculine pseudonym in order for her writing to be taken seriously.  Indeed she seems to have adopted that persona across her whole lifestyle becoming personally known and acknowledged by all as Vernon Lee and accordingly dressed as a man.    
   
  Her first published work, in 1880, was taken from her collection of essays that had originally appeared in Fraser’s Magazine with the scholarly title of; ‘Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy.’ It reflected her passion for music and centered on the rich creative lives of poet-librettist Pietro Metastasio and dramatists Carlo Goldoni and Carlo Gozzi.   
   
  She wrote over a dozen volumes of essays on art, music, and travel with her scholarly appreciation animated by wit and imagination.  Lee was well-regarded as an expert on the Italian Renaissance and was a proponent of the Aesthetic movement. 
   
  Her literary talents were extensive and she wrote a number of novels and plays.  Perhaps her best remembered works are her haunting and powerful short stories exploring the supernatural.  Lee has often received accolades for these and glowingly compared to other authors such as M R James. 
    
  A committed pacifist she was resolved to protest against World War I. Her social activism in other areas was perhaps fueled by her feminist beliefs.  In her private life she was a lesbian and had long-term passionate relationships with three women including the doomed author and poet, Amy Levy.   
   
  Vernon Lee died on 13th February 1935 in San Gervasio Bresciano, Italy.

  Step into the unsettling hush of The Eerie Silence, an audiobook that lures you into a realm where every absence of sound conceals a deeper dread. In this immersive experience, you’ll:
  
   
  Wander through empty corridors and abandoned rooms where echoes fade into nothingness, as if something unseen has absorbed them.
  
   
  Uncover cryptic clues etched into dusty walls—half-erased messages that hint at what once spoke, and what now remains silent.
  
   
  Feel the weight of unseen watchers in the stillness: soft breath-like drafts, distant thumps behind closed doors, and the faintest rustle of movement that shouldn’t be there.
  
   
  Piece together fragmented recordings and whispered warnings, racing to decode the silence before it claims your own voice.

  He may only have one eye, but it adores her . . . he just doesn't know it yet. 
   
   
   
  Reece Spencer became a monster after a Halloween party gone wrong, but instead of letting it ruin his life, he dedicated his life to monsters. After selling his portion of a successful investment firm, he funded the creation of a college for monsters just outside the monstrous little town of Screaming Woods. 
   
   
   
  This is his life now, trying to help monsters live as normally as possible, and nothing could disrupt that except for one new student who sets his entire world off-kilter: Kamila Letreuc, his former business partner's daughter. 
   
   
   
  The last time he saw her, she was a grieving seventeen-year-old, and now she's blossomed into a gorgeous woman. He may only have one eye, but he can tell how beautiful she is. Too bad she's off-limits. 
   
   
   
  When Kamila's father asks him to keep his eye on her, Reece makes a promise that soon becomes personal. 
   
   
   
  Now he's got an injured Kamila staying in his house, flouncing around in his clothing, and keeping his eye and hands off her is increasingly difficult—not to mention that someone is out to kill his gorgeous little half-dryad. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
