  Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
  This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
  When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
  In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
  Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.

  In the Spring of 2019 Michael Kingswood decided to embark on a Great Challenge, coordinating with a long-term professional writer that he considers a mentor and committing to sending him a new story every Sunday. 
  Lots of people attempt this kind of challenge. Even if they don’t do all fifty-two stories, it’s a victory because it almost always improves their writing productivity and skill. 
  Michael crushed it. 
  In the year from April 2019 through April 2020 he wrote at least one story per week, sometimes more than one. In celebration of that victory, SSN Storytelling presents this collection of 52 stories – one for each week of the year. 
  If you enjoy adventure, action, mystery, and stories with a sense of wonder, you will love these stories. Pick up Stories From The Great Challenge now. You won’t regret it.

  Elizabeth MacKintosh was born on the 25th July 1896 in Inverness, Scotland. 
  After attending Inverness Royal Academy and then the Anstey Physical Training College in Erdington, Birmingham she taught physical training at schools throughout England and Scotland. 
  In 1923, she returned to Inverness to care for her invalid mother. She stayed after her mother's death later that year to keep house for her father.  It was now that she began her literary career and first published in The Westminster Gazette in 1925, under the pseudonym Gordon Daviot.  She continued to write and publish in periodicals until, in 1929, her first novel ‘Kif: An Unvarnished History’ was published to good reviews followed, three months later, by her first mystery novel, ‘The Man in the Queue’.   
  Despite her good fortune and talents her mind was set on writing a play that would receive a West End run.  ‘Richard of Bordeaux’, under the Daviot pseudonym, made its debut in 1932 at the Arts Theatre. 
  In all she completed about a dozen one-act plays and a dozen full-length plays, many with biblical or historical themes, and all with the Daviot pseudonym.  Only four of these plays were produced. 
  Perhaps her best-known books all involve the Scotland Yard Inspector, Alan Grant, and required yet another pseudonym.  This time Josephine Tey. 
  She was intensely private, and during the last months of her life, when she knew she was terminally ill, she avoided all of her friends.   
  Elizabeth Mackintosh died from liver cancer on 13th February 1952 in London.  She was 55.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The story of Walter Delapore, a descendant of the Poers (the similarity to the name Poe is not accidental), a family that inhabited the Exham Priory estate. It is said that the building was constructed on very ancient foundations predating the Roman conquest of England. Delapore moves into the restored mansion, changing his name to de la Poer. He is not welcomed in the area; his ancestors had a reputation as murderers, kidnappers, and sorcerers. Since moving into the building, de la Poer has heard strange noises within the walls, which drive his cats into a frenzy.
