Sinopsis

In this masterpiece of Gothic horror, the story of a man doomed to wander for eternity unfolds through an eerie series of macabre encounters. After selling his soul to Satan in exchange for immortality, Melmoth is now doomed to spend eternity preying on the helpless and vulnerable. His only chance at relief is to find someone who will take his place, and so he wanders with the tortured hope of finally knowing peace. In this baroque and darkly humorous novel, Charles Maturin pieces together the story of Melmoth through the eyes of those who have encountered him over the centuries—from a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition to an inmate at a London insane asylum.

    Terror. Torture. Time running out. 
    Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum plunges listeners into the claustrophobic mind of a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, who awakens in utter darkness to face a series of psychological and physical torments. Chained beneath a slowly descending pendulum blade, surrounded by monstrous iron walls and the yawning mouth of a deadly pit, he must summon every ounce of courage, reason, and instinct to survive. 
    Nathan Edwards delivers a gripping narration of Poe’s masterwork of suspense, where every detail intensifies the dread and every moment ticks closer to the edge of madness. A landmark in Gothic literature and psychological horror, this story explores fear not through monsters, but through isolation, anticipation, and the diabolical ingenuity of man. 
    Perfect for fans of horror, dark suspense, classic literature, and the art of pure storytelling.

    To think, Adam used to love camping. 
    The black Dust fell for over a week. Adam Blake, a seasoned survival expert, was trapped in his first floor flat in a small suburb of southeast London--no food, no cell service, and no communication with the outside world. Then the dust stopped falling, 
    As the residents of Buckingham Avenue were left bewildered, there was no sign of help, no emergency services, no police. Just Adam and his confused neighbours. 
    The storm was just as sudden--violent, coming out of nowhere. It was as if the town was cursed. Then came the vines. 
    They overran every piece of grassland, park, wood, and forest. With the vines came small ape-like creatures. Now, surrounded by silent yet proficient killers, Adam may be the small neighbourhood's only hope of survival. He needs to escape the mysterious growth with the diverse and eccentric members of his community, desperate for answers. Then the true horror begins. 
    Can Adam lead his neighbors to safety in their new, strange, and hostile world?
