  Mary Shelly: FRANKENSTEIN

  Mary Shelley

  Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein" (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully-realised science fiction novel and raises many issues still relevant to today's society

  Would you make a deal with a deadly basilisk? 
   
   
   
  Diamonds are a girl's best friend, or that's what they say. That's why I love my job as an escort with Monstrous Deals. When the billionaire property mogul who's just opened a new casino in Heartstone tracks me down and demands to be my next client, I'm thrilled. He is far more handsome than my regular clients and dangerously charming. 
   
   
   
  The catch: Erserro is an ancient, deadly basilisk who can kill with a single look. 
   
   
   
  There are rules. I have to be blindfolded and I can never look at him when he touches me. That seems OK at first, but when feelings start to grow, I can't help but long for a closer look at this creature who gives me more pleasure than anyone has ever done. He claims he's a monster. That he's cursed. But the more I get to know him, the more I'd risk everything to uncover a treasure that might be worth more than any diamond. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  A sacred volume, a forgotten ritual, and the lingering presence of something not entirely gone—The Uncommon Prayer-book whispers of devotion turned to dread.
  M. R. James crafts a world where piety and peril overlap, where quiet study leads not to understanding, but to unease. This tale moves with the hush of cloisters and the rustle of ancient pages, all the while drawing the listener ever closer to an encounter best left unwritten.
  Dark, refined, and utterly disquieting.

  A NEW NOVELLA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TURTLE BOY & KIN. 
   
   
   
  When they were kids, Gillian and John used to visit the local cemetery every Sunday after church. The main attraction was the lofty hill that separated the cemetery from the elementary school, and the act of tumbling down it like Jack and Jill was a ritualistic escape from the abuse they were suffering at their father's hands. 
   
   
   
  It was an escape that lasted only until John's tragic death. 
   
   
   
  Now, Gillian is all grown up. Married with two children, she has managed over the years to force the trauma of her nightmarish childhood into the darkest recesses of her mind. 
   
   
   
  But lately there are dreams, and in them Gillian sees impossibly vivid reenactments of the horrors she endured as a child. Nightly, she sees John die all over again, only not in the way she remembers. 
   
   
   
  And something else is in those dreams, stalking her, a terrible figure with wire-hanger hands and a plastic bag wrapped around its rotten face. A monster whose reach starts to extend beyond the boundaries of sleep into the waking world, threatening everything Gillian holds dear. 
   
   
   
  A monster she once called Daddy.

  The Whisperer in the Darkness

  "It is not reassuring to be told that the things we now call myths were once realities."
  
  When strange, non-human bodies wash up during a historic Vermont flood, folklorist Albert Wilmarth dismisses the local legends of hill-dwelling monsters—but his sceptisism is shaken when he receives a message from a recluse named Henry Akeley, who claims the creatures are real and are menacing his isolated farmhouse.
  
  When Wilmarth gets to the house—lured by the promise of incredible revelations—he hears disturbing noises coming from the darkness and makes a gruesome discovery… the whispering is not of this world, and Akeley's fate is more horrific than Wilmarth could have ever imagined.
  
  Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.
