The 415 Express - Murder mystery...

Amelia Edwards

Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London. She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12. Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles.

In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read. This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous. Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage. Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing. Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.

Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day.

In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off. In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women. From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892. During this relationship other women also entered and left her life. Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology. Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.

To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds.

After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare. She was 60.

A Vine on a House

Ambrose Bierce

Title: A Vine on a House 
Author: Ambrose Bierce 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1905 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 83 
Description: 
A Vine on a House is one of Ambrose Bierce’s most quietly disturbing works of supernatural and psychological horror—a subtle meditation on decay, obsession, and the slow intrusion of the unnatural into everyday life. What begins as an ordinary, even innocuous presence—a vine growing along the side of a house—gradually becomes something far more unsettling. 
Central to the story is the vine itself, a living presence that grows with unnatural persistence, clinging to the house as if guided by an unseen will. As it spreads, so too does an atmosphere of unease, transforming a familiar domestic space into a symbol of encroaching dread. Bierce allows tension to build not through overt shocks, but through the quiet realization that something is deeply wrong. 
Rather than relying on spectacle, Bierce crafts horror through implication and psychological pressure, letting the reader feel the weight of an unseen menace tightening its grip. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s creeping unease, restrained menace, and lingering sense of doom. 
A Vine on a House endures as a masterclass in understated horror—a reminder that terror often grows slowly, taking root long before it is fully understood, and once established, may be impossible to remove.

Lovecraft Under the Influence -...

H. P. Lovecraft

Five fantastical tales from the mind of H. P. Lovecraft that center around a theme of illicit substances: some used to transcend the veil of reality, some used to keep one's sanity in check. All of the stories are quite psychedelic and unreal, quite mystical, and quite frightening. So, turn off the lights, get lit, and come with us on this long strange trip. Stories include "Azathoth", "Dagon", "Ex Oblivione", "Celephais", and "Hypnos".  
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American writer of weird, science, fantasy, and horror fiction. He is best known for his creation of the Cthulhu Mythos. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft spent most of his life in New England. Lovecraft's literary corpus is based around the idea of cosmicism, which was simultaneously his personal philosophy and the main theme of his fiction. Cosmicism posits that humanity is an insignificant part of the cosmos, and could be swept away at any moment. He incorporated fantasy and science fiction elements into his stories, representing the perceived fragility of anthropocentrism. This was tied to his ambivalent views on knowledge. His works were largely set in a fictionalized version of New England. Civilizational decline also plays a major role in his works, as he believed that the West was in decline during his lifetime.
