Summary

She escaped servitude for a worse fate. Now she wants everyone to know what happened.
 
Travel writer Simone Doucet is searching for a meaningful life, but she hasn't found a purpose yet. But after she accepts an assignment that takes her to Magnolia Sunrise - a historical bed-and-breakfast on the bluffs of Natchez, Mississippi - strange events begin to take place.
 
Frightful images of a young slave girl, Delphine, haunt her nights. The first night at the B&B, Simone is transported to 1863, antebellum Natchez. Through spectral eyes, Simone sees Delphine’s history; the horrors she witnessed and was subjected to.
 
Delphine wants everyone to know what happened to her, and she won't stop haunting Simone until she tells her story. But why has Delphine chosen Simone, and will this awakening bring new purpose to her life, or open up more untold mysteries to be discovered?

    This holiday spirit doesn’t want peace on Earth—just his gold. 
     
    When Sue convinces her husband to purchase a historic estate outside Branson, Missouri—rumored to hide a cache of lost gold—she ropes Ellen and Tanya into helping renovate the sprawling homestead over the Christmas holidays. But it doesn’t take long for the trio to realize the real estate agent left out some key details . . . like the ghostly mischief plaguing the property. 
     
    What starts as harmless holiday chaos soon turns dark. The sprite haunting the estate isn’t just mischievous—he’s menacing. And his message is clear: the treasure stays buried, and trespassers won’t be tolerated. 
     
    With Christmas looming and the hauntings escalating, Ellen, Tanya, and Sue must uncover the truth behind the legend before the spirit’s antics turn deadly. Is this mystery house a festive fixer-upper—or a trap best left untouched?

    Edgar Allan Poe has the genius to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and amplified the scariness all by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that did this so well and succeed in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me to enjoy all through my life: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven and the Casque of Amontillado. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did narrating them.

It was first serialized in February through July 1922 in the amateur publication Home Brew. The story was the basis of the 1985 horror film Re-Animator and its sequels, in addition to numerous other adaptations in various media. The story is the first to mention Lovecraft's fictional Miskatonic University. It is also one of the first depictions of zombies as scientifically reanimated corpses, with animalistic and uncontrollable temperaments.

    Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
     
    Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
     
    Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
     
    After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
     
    In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
     
    Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
     
    After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
     
    For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
     
    Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73
