Unique Selections - Twelve...

H. G. Wells

In truth the mastery of flying was the work of thousands of men—this man a suggestion and that an experiment, until at last only one vigorous intellectual effort was needed to finish the work. But the inexorable injustice of the popular mind has decided that of all these thousands, one man, and that a man who never flew, should be chosen as the discoverer, just as it has chosen to honor Watt as the discoverer of steam and Stephenson of the steam-engine. And surely of all honored names none is so grotesquely and tragically honored as poor Filmer’s, the timid, intellectual creature who solved the problem over which the world had hung perplexed and a little fearful for so many generations, the man who pressed the button that has changed peace and warfare and well-nigh every condition of human life and happiness. Never has that recurring wonder of the littleness of the scientific man in the face of the greatness of his science found such an amazing exemplification. Much concerning Filmer is, and must remain, profoundly obscure—Filmers attract no Boswells—but the essential facts and the concluding scene are clear enough, and there are letters, and notes, and casual allusions to piece the whole together. And this is the story one makes, putting this thing with that of Filmer’s life and death.

The Beast with Five Fingers

W. F. Harvey

When a brilliant but blind scholar dies, his legacy leaves behind more than books and unfinished theories. What remains is a presence—subtle at first, then impossible to deny. 
The Beast with Five Fingers is a masterwork of early 20th-century supernatural horror, where intellect, skepticism, and rational explanation steadily erode under the pressure of something that should not exist. Set within shadowed libraries, lonely houses, and candlelit rooms, the story follows a man of science confronted by an entity that moves with purpose, memory, and malice—yet defies every known law of nature. 
W. F. Harvey builds terror not through spectacle, but through accumulation: strange movements in the dark, marks left behind, doors opened without cause, and the growing certainty that the human hand—once trained, disciplined, and educated—may not be finished with its work after death. 
Calm, intelligent, and deeply unsettling, this is horror rooted in restraint and psychological dread rather than violence. A classic of supernatural fiction, The Beast with Five Fingers remains as disturbing today as when it first appeared, posing a quiet but unforgettable question: 
What happens when skill, intention, and will survive the body? 
Narrated by Myriam Berger, this audiobook brings a refined, atmospheric voice to one of the most enduring and chilling ghost stories of the Edwardian era.
