  "The Scarlet Plague" by Jack London is a haunting dystopian novella first published in 1912. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the story unfolds in the year 2073, sixty years after a devastating pandemic known as the Scarlet Plague wipes out most of humanity. Told through the perspective of an elderly survivor, James Howard Smith, the narrative recounts the collapse of civilization as he shares his memories with his grandsons, who struggle to comprehend the advanced world that once was. 
  With vivid imagery and profound social commentary, London explores themes of human fragility, the loss of knowledge, and the cyclical nature of history. This short yet powerful tale serves as a timeless reflection on the consequences of societal hubris and the enduring spirit of survival.

  A fog-shrouded train. A vanished passenger. A truth that defies the living. 
  When William Langford boards the 4:15 express on a damp December evening, he expects nothing more than a quiet journey to his friend’s country estate. But his solitary compartment is unexpectedly intruded upon by a familiar traveler — a reserved, pale-faced gentleman carrying a heavy deed-box and an unsettling air. 
  By the time the train slows into Blackwater station, the stranger disappears into the swirling mist. And then — he is gone. Not merely from sight, but from the world. 
  Langford soon learns the unthinkable: the man he shared the compartment with died months before. His arrival at Dumbleton Manor sets off shock, whispers, and a chilling realization that reason cannot explain. 
  Driven by duty — and haunted by what he saw — Langford becomes entwined in a mystery that bridges the natural and the supernatural. What begins as a polite Victorian travel tale unravels into a ghostly investigation, a financial scandal, and a murder buried beneath brambles, secrets, and time. 
  Amelia B. Edwards delivers one of the finest railway ghost mysteries of the Victorian age — a tale steeped in cold iron, lamplight, and a chilling question that echoes long after the final page: 
  What travels with us when justice has not yet been served? 
  Perfect for fans of M.R. James, Charles Dickens’ ghost stories, and Sherlock Holmes-era intrigue. 
  Narrated with atmospheric depth by Jason Miller.
