Some bloodlines carry a curse that runs deeper than the darkest ocean. During a genealogical tour of New England, a young student seeking the cheapest travel route finds himself stranded in the isolated, rotting seaport of Innsmouth. Shunned by neighboring towns, Innsmouth is shrouded in dark rumors of an unnatural epidemic and secret pacts made by its sinister founder, Captain Obed Marsh. As the traveler navigates empty, fish-scented streets and observes the townsfolk's bulging, unblinking eyes—the terrifying "Innsmouth look"—he realizes this is no ordinary decay. Trapped for the night in a dilapidated, boltless hotel room, a frantic escape begins as he unearths an ancient cult worshiping the grotesque aquatic deities known as the Deep Ones. But the most horrifying discovery of all isn't what lurks beneath the crashing waves... it's the inescapable truth of his own heritage. Why you will love this audiobook: If you crave masterful cosmic Horror, psychological dread, and aquatic terror, this foundational masterpiece is a must-listen.

Presented here are two holiday classics: E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (which formed the basis for the Christmas ballet "The Nutcracker") and Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen," (upon which Disney's "Frozen" is based). First, we meet young Marie, young girl who is given a precious nutcracker as a Christmas present by her godfather, the enigmatic Drosselmeier. When the nutcracker is broken, Marie attempts to repair it and stays up late to tend to her new toy, but when the nursery is invaded by an army of mice - led by the seven-headed Mouse King - the nutcracker comes to life to both drive off the mice and escort Marie to a magical land of living dolls. Then, in "The Snow Queen," we are introduced to childhood friends Gerda and Kay, whose relationship is shattered when Kay is infected by dark magic and disappears, spirited up to the Snow Queen's palace in the sky. These two holiday classics are presented in their original and unabridged format and narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols.Ver libro

As in an earlier work, The Jungle, Sinclair expresses his socialist viewpoints from the perspective of a single protagonist, Hal Warner, caught up in the schemes and plots of the oppressive American capitalist system. The book itself is based on the 1914-1915 Colorado coal strikes. (Summary by Wikipedia)Reader's note: In Book 4, there is no chapter numbered Section 16 in the public domain Gutenberg e-text.
