Synopsis

D. K. Broster's "Mr. Rowl" is a compelling exploration of the human psyche set against the backdrop of the early 20th century. Through a unique narrative style that seamlessly interweaves psychological depth with a rich, atmospheric setting, Broster delves into themes of illicit desire, social constraints, and moral ambiguity. The novella's carefully crafted prose is marked by vivid descriptions and incisive dialogue, embodying a blend of realism and subtle gothic elements that reflect the tumultuous societal changes of the time. Broster, a Scottish author renowned for her contributions to the genre of psychological fiction, crafted "Mr. Rowl" during a period of personal and societal upheaval. Her interest in human emotions, intuition, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals is clearly reflected in the novella's characters and their struggles. Drawing from her own experiences and the broader literary currents of her time, Broster's narrative mirrors the complex landscapes of human relationships and the unspoken tensions that often underpin them. Readers seeking a profound examination of character and context will find "Mr. Rowl" particularly resonant. Broster's keen insight into the human condition, coupled with her engaging prose, makes this work an essential addition to the study of early 20th-century literature. This novella appeals not only to fans of literary fiction but also to anyone interested in the complexities of desire and morality.

After losing his wife and kids in a car accident, the former MLB pitcher-turned-chef purchases a lovely new home at a steal, while shrugging off its terrible history of a murder-suicide. But he soon realizes he's not alone when he hears a child's laughter echoing from behind a closed door. 
    Skeptical about the supernatural despite finding multiple cryptic messages, Jackson visits the local library to research clues tied to the property. When the charming librarian helps him unearth chilling details of its past, he's more determined than ever to unravel the truth. 
    Can Jackson expose the horror hidden within the haunted halls and find his own peace? 
    An engaging supernatural mystery novel about family secrets, the price of vengeance, and learning to move on after loss. -- Clarion Reviews 
    Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O'Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery. A powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. ★★★★½ -- Self-Publishing Review 
    5 out of 5 stars. I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery novel. My eyes were glued to the pages by the end of the book. The author included many plot twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout the novel. As someone who often shies away from ghost stories due to cheesiness, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as it is a decidedly realistic portrayal of the paranormal. -- OnlineBookClub

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    "The Unnamable" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in September 1923, first published in the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first collected in Beyond the Wall of Sleep in 1943. 
    Carter, a weird fiction writer (likely Randolph Carter who features in some of Lovecraft's other tales such as "The Statement of Randolph Carter") meets with his close friend, Joel Manton, in a cemetery near an old, dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area. He contends that because such an entity cannot be perceived by the five senses, it becomes impossible to quantify and accurately describe, thus earning itself the term unnamable. 
    As the narration closes, this unnamable presence attacks both Carter and Manton. Both men survive and awaken later at St. Mary's hospital. They suffer from various lacerations, including scarring from a large horn-shaped object and bruises in the shape of hoof-prints on their backs.

    On this season of The Catch, contestants must compete for love. And their lives. 
     
    When the final four women in competition for an aloof, somewhat sleazy bachelor’s heart arrive on a mysterious island in the Pacific Northwest, they prepare themselves for another week of extreme sleep deprivation, invasive  
    interviews, and, of course, the salacious drama eager viewers nationwide tune in to devour. Each woman came on The Catch for her own reasons—brand sponsorships, followers, and, yes, even love—and they’ve all got their eyes steadfastly trained on their respective prizes. 
     
    Enter Patricia, a temperamental and woefully misunderstood local living alone in the dark, verdant woods, and desperate for connection. Through twists as unexpected as they are wildly entertaining, the self-absorbed cast and jaded crew  
    each make her acquaintance atop the island’s tallest and most desolate peak, finding themselves at the center of an action-packed thriller that is far from scripted—and only a few will make the final cut. 
     
    A whirlwind romp careening toward a last-girl-standing conclusion, and a scathing indictment of contemporary American media culture, Patricia Wants to Cuddle is also a love story: between star-crossed lesbians who rise above their intolerant  
    town, a deeply ambivalent woman and her budding self-actualization, and a group of misfit islanders forging community against all odds.
