  The Haunter of the Ring by Robert E. Howard is a supernatural horror story steeped in dark magic, occultism, and the perilous consequences of meddling with ancient forces. The narrative follows John Kirowan, a recurring character in Howard's mythos, who is drawn into a sinister plot involving a cursed ring and a malevolent spirit.The story begins when Kirowan's friend, John Conrad, reaches out to him in desperation. Conrad's wife, Evelyn, has been behaving strangely, seemingly under the influence of a powerful, malevolent force. Conrad reveals that Evelyn has been possessed by the spirit of a vengeful sorcerer, instigated by a cursed artifact—a serpent-shaped ring with a dark history. The ring, imbued with ancient and evil powers, once belonged to an evil sorcerer from the distant past. The sorcerer's spirit haunts the wearer of the ring, controlling them to enact its wicked will.Kirowan, familiar with the occult and the dangers it poses, recognizes the severity of the situation and agrees to help. As the story unfolds, he confronts the sorcerer's restless spirit, a demon-like figure that manipulates the living to further its sinister goals. The ring is revealed to be more than a simple artifact, serving as a conduit through which the sorcerer's dark magic can continue to influence the world from beyond the grave.Through a combination of knowledge, occult expertise, and sheer courage, Kirowan battles to break the hold of the cursed ring and save Evelyn from its terrifying grip. The climax of the story is intense and suspenseful, as Howard skillfully combines elements of adventure and horror.The Haunter of the Ring is a classic example of Howard's mastery in weaving tales of the supernatural, exploring the dangers of delving into forbidden knowledge, and the timeless struggle between good and evil.

  'They have been guarding the island for centuries and centuries, but like wild beasts that only care for doing harm…'
  
  A heady mixture of gothic horror and adventure, and famed for being the basis of the successful 1979 TV series L'Île aux trente cercueils, The Island of Thirty Coffins is detective fiction at its very finest.
  
  Set in 1917 France, The Island of Thirty Coffins centres around the tragic life of Véronique d'Hergemont. After her father kidnaps her young son as revenge for her choice of husband, and subsequently drowns at sea in their escape, Véronique is left devastated for years. However, since investigating into their disappearance further, she begins receiving clues that her son might still be alive. Led to a mysterious island off the coast of Brittany, shrouded in ominous omens, Véronique comes across a particularly haunting prophecy: 'Four women on the cross, stone of God that gives life or death. Thirty sacrifices for thirty coffins.' A series of gruesome events ensue, wherein Véronique is left fighting for her life against sinister forces, needing to unveil the island's secrets in order to survive. But, of course, there's only one man who can help a mystery of this scale: the iconic gentlemen thief, Arsène Lupin. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Rupert Degas.
  Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.
