  Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen. It was published at the end of 1817, six months after her death. - The story concerns Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt. They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife. The wife’s brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne in 1806, and now they meet again, both single and unattached, after no contact in more than seven years. This sets the scene for many humorous encounters as well as a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne in her second "bloom".
  The story begins seven years after the broken engagement of Anne Elliot to then Commander Frederick Wentworth. Anne, then 19 years old, fell in love and accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer. He was clever, confident, ambitious and employed, but not yet wealthy and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Her father, Sir Walter, and her older sister, Elizabeth, maintained that Wentworth was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement, which Lady Russell saw as imprudent for one so young.

  In this chapter, the narrative leaves personal journals behind and shifts into a gripping newspaper account — a dramatic report of a violent storm at sea and the arrival of a ghostly ship. The Russian vessel Demeter crashes onto the Whitby shore with no crew left aboard, its captain found dead and lashed to the wheel. A huge dog-like creature leaps from the wreck and disappears into the night, leaving only fear and speculation behind. 
  Through eyewitness testimony and sensational reporting, we witness the creeping intrusion of the supernatural into everyday Victorian life. Mina and Lucy remain unaware of the dark presence now stalking their peaceful seaside town, while the shadow of Dracula spreads farther into England with every passing moment. 
  This is Chapter 7 of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne — part of a complete chapter-by-chapter audiobook series that brings the Gothic classic to life with haunting atmosphere, rich characterization, and cinematic storytelling. 
  Experience the mystery of the doomed ship, the storm-lashed terror, and the sinister arrival that marks the beginning of England’s nightmare. 
  📖 Public domain text. Original publication: 1897.

  Title: Sredni Vashtar 
  Author: Saki (H. H. Munro) 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1912 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 79 
  Description: 
  Sredni Vashtar is one of Saki’s most unsettling and darkly ironic tales — a precise exploration of repression, power, and private vengeance. The story follows Conradin, a frail boy living under the rigid control of his guardian, Mrs. De Ropp, whose cold authority dominates his life. Deprived of affection and freedom, Conradin retreats into a secret world of imagination and ritual. 
  Central to this world is the shed at the bottom of the garden, where he keeps a ferret he worships as a personal god, Sredni Vashtar. Through quiet devotion and imagined rites, Conradin gives this creature the power denied to him, and the story unfolds with a calm inevitability toward a chilling climax. 
  Saki’s restrained prose makes the horror subtle yet potent, arising not from spectacle but from moral indifference and the consequences of cruelty. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s tension, irony, and quiet menace. 
  Sredni Vashtar remains a timeless reminder that even the smallest, most silenced lives can harbor forces capable of unsettling and irrevocable change.
