Sinopsis

In "More Bywords," Charlotte M. Yonge delves into the intricacies of human relationships and moral dilemmas through a series of interconnected narratives. Rich in character development and rendered in a fluid, eloquent prose style, the book embodies the Victorian ideals of its time while also challenging societal norms. Yonge's adeptness at weaving themes of faith, virtue, and personal struggle speaks to the moral undertones prevalent in the literature of the late 19th century, providing readers with a profound exploration of the human condition. Charlotte M. Yonge was a significant figure in Victorian literature, known for her strong moral compass and commitment to religious values, which permeate her works. Born in 1823 in a devout family, Yonge's upbringing and exposure to various philosophical and social paradigms profoundly influenced her writing. Her experiences as a novelist, editor, and translator were crucial in shaping her narrative voice, allowing her to address themes of duty and morality with nuance and depth in "More Bywords." Readers interested in the complexity of individual choices within the framework of societal expectations will find Yonge's work compelling. "More Bywords" serves not only as a literary artifact of its time but also as a timeless reflection on the ethical dimensions of everyday life, making it essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian literature.

Title: The Guest 
Author: Lord Dunsany 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1912 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series: Timeless Terrors 
Number: 100 
Description: 
The Guest is an ethereal and unsettling tale of hospitality, supernatural visitation, and the fragile boundaries between the ordinary and the uncanny. The story follows a weary traveler who arrives at a remote manor seeking refuge, only to find himself welcomed by a host whose civility conceals an eerie otherworldliness. As night falls, subtle signs suggest that the guest may be part of a world far older and stranger than he realizes, where manners mask mysteries and appearances deceive. 
Dunsany’s prose combines lyrical beauty with a creeping sense of disquiet, crafting a story where suspense is built not on overt horror but on suggestion, ambiguity, and the unexpected intrusion of the fantastical into everyday life. The narrative evokes both wonder and unease, exploring themes of destiny, the unknown, and the delicate dance between courtesy and terror. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Dunsany’s haunting imagery and atmospheric tension to life, immersing listeners in a twilight world where one guest may change everything, and the line between reality and dream is perilously thin. The Guest endures as a masterwork of subtle fantasy and psychological suspense, where the most unsettling moments are those left unspoken.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri on the 30th November 1835 and is far better known by his pen name of Mark Twain.  An American writer and humorist of the first order he is perhaps best known for his novels ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ and its sequel ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ which are often described with that mythic line The Great American Novel. 
Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri which would later provide the backdrop to these great novels.  Apprenticed to a printer he also became a typesetter and then a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi.  Later, heading west with his brother Orion to make his fortune, he failed at gold mining and instead turned to journalism and thence his true calling as a writer of humorous stories where his wit and humor sparkled from every paragraph, his craft evident with every page and punctured target. 
A staunch supporter of copyright protections this helped him keep much of the wealth his writing created, though much money was also lost on investments that he pursued in his love for science and technology as well as investing in his own inventions. 
Twain was born during a visit by Halley’s comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it as well.  He died the day after its subsequent return on 21st April 1910, at his house, Stormfield, located in Redding, Connecticut.
