Synopsis

In "The Beautiful Garment, and Other Stories," A. L. O. E. weaves a tapestry of morality and humanity through a series of thoughtfully crafted narratives. Characterized by a lyrical prose style reminiscent of 19th-century Victorian literature, these tales explore themes of virtue, redemption, and the intricate relationships that bind individuals within society. The collection reflects the didactic traditions of its time, as A. L. O. E. masterfully engages readers with poignant moral lessons embedded in enchanting storytelling, making it both a literary delight and a source of ethical reflection. A. L. O. E., a pseudonym for the prolific writer Charlotte Maria Tucker, was known for her commitment to children's literature and moral tales that challenge social norms. A member of the Victorian literary scene, she was influenced by her own experiences and beliefs, particularly her advocacy for social reform and education for women. These elements find their way into her stories, which aim to uplift and inspire through narratives that resonate with the trials and triumphs of ordinary life. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate richly woven stories that combine entertainment with ethical inquiry. "The Beautiful Garment" serves not only as a reflection of Victorian values but as a timeless exploration of the power of kindness and compassion—qualities that remain relevant in contemporary discourse.

    Master storyteller H.H. Munro— better known by the pen name " Saki" — is famous for his witty, mischievous, and macabre stories of suspense. Saki specialized in impudent practical jokes, devilish trickery, and incredible yarns, and his writing became popular in the early 1900s for its witty and satirical look at the pretensions and ignorance of bourgeois English society. From the eerie yet humorous " Gabriel Ernest" to the downright chilling " The Interlopers," this brilliant collection of tales— read by multiple award-winning British actor, Sir Derek Jacobi— will succeed in bringing both chills and laughs to listeners of all ages.

    Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
    He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
    Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
    In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.

    There are secrets beneath the waves ... older than mankind, and hungry still. 
    In this salt-soaked collection, H. P. Lovecraft conjures horrors from the deep: ancient beings that slumber beneath black seas, forgotten isles lost to time, and coastal towns whose bloodlines trace back to something not entirely human. Each tale explores the terror of isolation—geographical and existential—as characters find themselves adrift in waters not meant to be charted. 
    Whether wrecked on a strange shore or pulled downward by unseen forces, the fate is the same: madness, revelation … or worse. 
    Including: 
    Dagon 
    The Temple 
    The Shadow Over Innsmouth 
    The Strange High House in the Mist 
    The White Ship 
    The Call of Cthulhu 
    The Doom That Came to Sarnath
