Beschreibung

Descent into Hell is a novel written by Charles Williams, an English author, poet, theologian, and member of the literary group known as the Inklings, which included notable figures like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The novel was first published in 1937 and is considered one of Williams' most significant works.

The novel is a unique blend of supernatural fiction, psychological drama, and theological exploration. It explores the idea of a spiritual and metaphysical realm that exists alongside our everyday reality. 

Charles Walter Stansby Williams (20 September 1886 – 15 May 1945) was a British poet, novelist, playwright, theologian and literary critic. Most of his life was spent in London, where he was born, but in 1939 he moved to Oxford with the university press for which he worked and was buried there following his early death.

    No one should die in the dreamscape 
    Lancelot Alexander Jnr was at the crossroads of being awake and falling asleep as his partner in his stage magic act Dreams and Nightmares, Zac was about to put him into the zigzag man apparatus during an evening performance. 
    "Hey, sleepy head wakes up," said Zac sensing Lance was tired. 
    "I'm so tired," Lance said, "I'll try to stay awake." 
    "I don't want to hurt you," said Zac. 
    "I don't want to be hurt either," said Lance climbing into the box. 
    The moment he went into the box he fell asleep mentally. 
    He awoke screaming when Zac inserted the first blade. 
    It startled and worried Zac. 
    "Bring the curtains down," Zac shouted and the curtains fell. 
    One stage ran a gaggle of backstage staff. 
    "Are you alright, Jnr?" asked Zac. 
    "I'm fine, I just had a vision,'' said Lance. 
    "Oh what did you see?" asked Zac. 
    A man with 3 eyes killing a woman in a dreamlike place," said Lance looking traumatized as he was being released from the stage trick by stagehands. 
    "Tell the audience the show is over, Kel," Zac told the stage manager. 
    "Ok," said the stage manager sensing a problem. 
    "Come with me, Jnr," said Zac making a wormhole appear in front of them they stepped into it.

    In the Walls of Eryx

    Set in a future where humanity is colonizing planets across the Solar System, the story follows a soldier stationed on Venus. Tasked with recovering a crystal of vital strategic importance, he soon finds himself caught in a trap laid by the planet’s native, lizard-like inhabitants — a deadly labyrinth of invisible walls. 
    The original version of the story, written by the young Kenneth Sterling (based on the idea from Edmond Hamilton's story "The Monster-God of Mamurth"), was half as long. Lovecraft rewrote the work, preserving as many original elements as possible. 
    The writers adorned "In the Walls of Eryx" with playful references to known individuals in their surroundings (for example, "effjay weeds and slimy ackmanths" are references to the disliked Forrest J Ackerman).

    Set during the blazing English summer of 1976, recently widowed Heather Lowes moves into the house she was supposed to live with her husband. 
    But now she is alone. 
    Or at least, she thinks she is. 
    It is a normal terrace house, on an everyday, run-down working class street, in a dying industrial town. A place that seldom sees the extraordinary. 
    However, when Heather meets her new neighbours - the old woman next door, the kid from a few doors down - they all seem concerned that she has moved into the house at the end of Society Place. They seem to know something. 
    Heather's nights in the house are troubled. She senses a presence, particularly on the stairs, and down in the cellar. She dare not go down there. As the sweltering summer rages on, Heather experiences supernatural turmoil that tests her sanity and pushes her understanding of reality to its very limits. 
    She learns that there isn't just one ghost. 
    There is a Nest of Ghosts that haunt, not just her house, but all the houses on Society Place. 
    Heather also comes to learn of the Nest's interest in the baby growing inside her, and of the far-reaching consequences of the events of that summer and how they will still be felt into the first decades of the 21st century.

    Edgar Allan Poe has the genius to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and amplified the scariness all by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that did this so well and succeed in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me to enjoy all through my life: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven and the Casque of Amontillado. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did narrating them.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed the story, and the details made the story even more realistic, I lost myself in the whole book. 
    From the International Bestselling author, Sagar Constantin comes the first book in the addictive IN-BETWEEN series. 
    Eva Monroe is returning from a three-week business trip, one in which she left her five-year-old son in the care of her estranged ex-husband when the plane that's taking her home crashes. 
    The accident leaves her in a coma, unresponsive to doctors' attention and the urgings of her little boy. 
    However, while Eva's body lies on the precipice of death, Eva's spirit has traveled to a place known as the In-Between - a world that is hovering in the clouds above our planet. 
    The In-Between is a temporary home for people where they must decide whether to return to their lives on Earth or move on to the next stage in their development. 
    It is a wondrous place, filled with spiritual aids and advanced technology. It is also a place where a person faces themself fully for the first time. 
    When Eva arrives at the In-Between, she is utterly sure of her decision: she wants to return to her son. 
    Yet, she soon realizes that what she believes about herself and her place in the world isn't as straightforward as she'd always assumed. 
    And with this realization comes the understanding that her decision will be much harder to make than she ever would have guessed. 
    Thus, she is faced with the most challenging decision a parent can make. 
    Buy THE LIFE today to be drawn into a place that you never want to leave.
