  The Age Of Innocence

  The Age of Innocence is a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton. It was her twelfth novel and was initially serialized in 1920 in four parts, in the magazine Pictorial Review. Later that year, it was released as a book by D. Appleton & Company. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize. 
   
  Though the committee had initially agreed to give the award to Sinclair Lewis for Main Street, the judges, in rejecting his book on political grounds, "established Wharton as the American 'First Lady of Letters'". The story is set in the 1870s, in upper-class, "Gilded Age" New York City. Wharton wrote the book in her 50s, after she was already established as a major author in high demand by publishers.

  Brideshead Revisited details the journey of Charles Ryder, who, through the memories of his interactions with an aristocratic English family, encounters various episodes of conversion and experiences the illuminating power of divine grace—which, in the words of G.K. Chesterton, tugs on human hearts “with a twitch upon the thread.” Lodged between two world wars and burdened by the stark collapse of culture, Charles Ryder comes face to face with the perils of sin and confronts the inescapable yearnings of faith.

  The Dunwich Horror — Part 9 of 10

  Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s descent into cosmic nightmare: The Dunwich Horror. 
  The devastation left in the wake of the unseen horror deepens. Across the battered hills of Dunwich, homes lie in ruin, fields are torn apart, and the air itself feels wrong — twisted by the passage of something that should not exist. The invisible behemoth roams beyond human reach, and fear has become an inescapable presence in the countryside. 
  In the aftermath, hope flickers for the first time. A small band of scholars prepares to confront what cannot be seen, armed not with weapons, but with forbidden knowledge and desperate incantations. Yet even this fragile resistance feels terrifyingly inadequate against a force born beyond the stars. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this chapter carries the story toward its turning point — where human defiance stands face to face with an indifferent and ancient terror that was never meant to be fought. 
  This is Part 9 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the end begins to take shape.

  "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been described as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination".
  The unnamed narrator opens with a lengthy commentary on the nature and practice of analytical reasoning, then describes the circumstances under which he first met Dupin during a visit to Paris. The two share rooms in a dilapidated old mansion and allow no visitors, having cut off all contact with past acquaintances and venturing outside only at night. One evening, Dupin demonstrates his analytical prowess by deducing the narrator's thoughts about a particular stage actor, based on clues gathered from the narrator's previous words and actions.
