Sinopsis

A startling, witty and downright terrifying collection of 25 short stories from the "21st century's Richard Matheson" (Richard Chizmar, Chasing the Boogeyman.) Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison and Eric LaRocca.
They're feeding on you too.
A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.
From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.
Packed full of humanity, humour and above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror's finest authors.
Disponible desde: 09/09/2025.

    Have you ever felt the presence of ghosts or spirits? Have you ever experienced something supernatural? 
    There is a universal interest in the supernatural and innumerable myths and legends have grown up to explain the sights and sounds which we cannot understand from our limited knowledge. 
    In this book, Roger G Trow examines hauntings and paranormal events from around the world, and reflects on his own experiences of supernatural activity, trying to separate fact from superstition. 
    Drawing from Christian scripture, Roger says it is because we do not understand what we see, or may be ignorant of the presence of spiritual entities that cannot be detected by our scientific instruments, that we dismiss them as unreal, figments of our imagination or mere superstition, but still they remain very real.

    In this haunting and philosophical short story, Poe delivers a mesmerizing account of one man’s encounter with a terrifying natural phenomenon: the legendary Maelstrom, a monstrous whirlpool off the coast of Norway. As the narrator recounts his near-death experience—being swept into the vortex along with his brothers—listeners are taken on a harrowing journey through the relentless forces of nature and the fragile psyche of a man staring into the abyss. 
    More than just a suspenseful sea story, this tale explores the boundaries of human perception, the thin line between fear and reason, and the instinct for survival in the face of overwhelming terror. Poe’s masterful prose immerses you in a world of roiling seas, towering cliffs, and psychological dread, evoking both cosmic wonder and existential despair. 
    Whether you're a lover of classic literature, a fan of horror and gothic fiction, or someone who relishes tales of maritime suspense and psychological depth, this audiobook offers a powerful listening experience. The language is poetic, the setting is vast and vivid, and the emotional journey is unforgettable. 
    Brought to life with atmospheric narration and chilling intensity, this full-length audio performance captures every nuance of Poe’s dark vision. It’s a story of being pulled into literal and metaphorical depths—a meditation on mortality, humility, and the sublime terror of nature. 
    Settle in, press play, and let yourself be drawn into the swirling horror of one of Poe’s most breathtaking and philosophical adventures.
