  Detective Kate Morgan is tasked with determining if a recently discovered body floating in the harbor is the result of a crime and, if not, to move on to one of the team’s many other pending cases on their desks. However, nothing is ever simple in her world. So, when she finds several similar cases in the surrounding police districts, … the scope of her hunt expands proportionally. 
   
  However, getting to the bottom of this one crosses into Simon’s penchant for revitalizing old buildings in downtown Vancouver—or, in some cases, just giving those structures a whole lot of love. 
   
  ​​​​​As Simon warns her several times, he sees both himself and Kate participating in the final fight. Yet it’s so much uglier than either of them can imagine.

  An unnamed narrator approaches the house of Usher on a “dull, dark, and soundless day.” This house—the estate of his boyhood friend, Roderick Usher—is gloomy and mysterious. The narrator observes that the house seems to have absorbed an evil and diseased atmosphere from the decaying trees and murky ponds around it. He notes that although the house is decaying in places—individual stones are disintegrating, for example—the structure itself is fairly solid. There is only a small crack from the roof to the ground in the front of the building. He has come to the house because his friend Roderick sent him a letter earnestly requesting his company. Roderick wrote that he was feeling physically and emotionally ill, so the narrator is rushing to his assistance. The narrator mentions that the Usher family, though an ancient clan, has never flourished. Only one member of the Usher family has survived from generation to generation, thereby forming a direct line of descent without any outside branches. The Usher family has become so identified with its estate that the peasantry confuses the inhabitants with their home. 
  The narrator decides to read to Roderick in order to pass the night away. He reads “Mad Trist” by Sir Launcelot Canning, a medieval romance. As he reads, he hears noises that correspond to the descriptions in the story. At first, he ignores these sounds as the vagaries of his imagination. Soon, however, they become more distinct and he can no longer ignore them. He also notices that Roderick has slumped over in his chair and is muttering to himself. The narrator approaches Roderick and listens to what he is saying. Roderick reveals that he has been hearing these sounds for days, and believes that they have buried Madeline alive and that she is trying to escape.

  The Beast with Five Fingers

  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.
