Summary

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.

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.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll...

Robert Louis Stevenson

A dimly lit Victorian study. A mirror reflects two sides of the same man—one side dignified, clean-shaven, and composed (Dr. Jekyll), the other snarling, shadowy, and wild-eyed (Mr. Hyde). 
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a psychological thriller and gothic masterpiece that explores the duality of human nature and the shadows that lurk beneath respectability. First published in 1886, this novella follows the story of the respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll, whose secret experiments unleash his dark alter ego—Mr. Edward Hyde—upon Victorian London. 
As Hyde’s brutal and violent behavior spirals out of control, Jekyll must confront the terrifying consequences of his scientific ambition. Told through multiple perspectives, this eerie and atmospheric tale has remained a chilling allegory of repression, identity, and the human soul. 
This full audiobook brings Stevenson’s gripping prose to life with haunting narration, immersing listeners in cobblestone alleyways, flickering gaslights, and the eerie fog of 19th-century London. A must-listen for fans of gothic fiction, classic horror, and literary suspense.

When I arrived at Roseborne College searching for my foster brother, I had no idea what I was in for. In the past few weeks, I've endured torments both physical and emotional. I've looked death in the face. And I've made an unnerving discovery that's left me scrambling to pick up the pieces of the quest I started out on. 
But the supernatural beings who run this school haven't conquered me yet. I'll turn the tables on them with my newfound knowledge—and maybe with the help of three temptingly screwed-up guys I never expected to count on.  
At least, that's the plan. Everyone in this place is keeping secrets: me, the guys I might be falling for, and my brother. Secrets big enough to bring us together... or to tear us completely apart. How will I find the strength to continue the fight if it turns out I can't trust anyone—not even myself?

They are the Three, and their home was a place beyond the reach of reason, but after a great struggle, they and their creations are eventually driven into the many haunted wastelands of Deluuvius. Thousands of years later, Dash, a brave individual with an uncertain youth, must travel into each of the treacherous wastelands to discover his enemies’ origins. Dash must solve the mystery of the Three in the most stunning mixture of fantasy and science fiction ever told.''
