  Description: 
  The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson is a chilling maritime horror first published in 1907. The story follows two sailors who encounter a mysterious castaway on a fog-drenched sea. His tale of isolation, disease, and transformation reveals a creeping terror that lingers far beyond the narrative.

  This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a dedicated series bringing classic horror back to life — stories from the great masters of the macabre, narrated afresh to haunt a new generation. 
  Listeners should be prepared for an unsettling voyage into isolation, the unknown, and the subtle horrors that dwell in both nature and humanity.

  Black Magic by Sydney Horler

  Sydney Horler (1888-1954) was one of the popular British writers of the first half of the twentieth century. Although he never quite reached critical acclaim, his books sold by the millions. His most famous creation was a British Agent called Tiger Standish, a precursor to Ian Fleming’s James Bond.  
  But this story, narrated by Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, is a young adult horror story that manages to be sufficiently scary - with a gleam in its eye. It features satanism, attempted murder and contains considerable humour.  
  The music at the start and at the end of the audiobook comes from Kwartet Japoński I by Maciej Żołnowski distributed by musopen.org.

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume our classic authors invite us in to share hospitality at a house most of us are ever keen to veer away from. But the invitation has been issued and it would be rude to disappoint, despite the rising fear that begins to take its chilling grip on us.
