  A frightening dystopian horror novel in which grief is forbidden and purged from the mind 
  Sorrow is inefficient. It’s also inescapable. 
  Lieutenant Dev Singh dutifully spends his days recording the memories of people who, struck with incurable depression, will soon have their minds erased in order to be more productive members of society. 
  At night though, hidden in the dark, Dev remembers and writes in his secret journal the special moments shared with him—the small laugh of a toddler, the stillness of a late afternoon, the first flutter of love. But when the Bureau finds out that he has been recounting the memories—and that the depression is in him too—he is sent to a sanitarium to heal. After all, the Bureau knows what’s best for you. 
  A nightmarish descent from sadness to madness, The Collector is a nightmarish mix of 1984 and Never Let Me Go.

  The Murders of Molly Southbourne 
  The rule is simple: don't bleed. 
  For as long as Molly Southbourne can remember, she's been watching herself die. Whenever she bleeds, another molly is born, identical to her in every way and intent on her destruction. 
  Molly knows every way to kill herself, but she also knows that as long as she survives she'll be hunted. No matter how well she follows the rules, eventually the mollys will find her. Can Molly find a way to stop the tide of blood, or will she meet her end at the hand of a girl who looks just like her? 
   
  The Survival of Molly Southbourne 
  Who was Molly Southbourne? What did she leave behind? A burnt-out basement. A name stained in blood. Bodies that remember murder, one of them left alive. A set of rules that no longer apply. Molly Southbourne is alive. If she wants to survive, she'll need to run, hide, and be ready to fight. There are people who remember her, who know what she is and what she's done. Some want her alive, some want her dead, and all hold a piece to the puzzles in her head. Can Molly escape them, or will she confront the bloody history that made her? 
   
  The Legacy of Molly Southbourne 
  Whenever Molly Southbourne bled, a murderer was born. Deadly copies, drawn to destroy their creator, bound by a legacy of death. With the original Molly Southbourne gone, her remnants drew together, seeking safety and a chance for peace. The last Molly and her sisters built a home together, and thought they could escape the murder that marked their past. 
   
  But secrets squirm in Molly Southbourne's blood—secrets born in a Soviet lab and carried back across the Iron Curtain to infiltrate the West. What remains of the Cold War spy machine wants those secrets back, and to get them they're willing to unearth the dead and destroy the fragile peace surrounding the last copies of Molly Southbourne. 
   
  The Legacy of Molly Southbourne brings the story to a bloody end.

  Through the Gates of the Silver Key

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  A group of men gather in New Orleans to distribute the estate of the missing Randolph Carter. One of them claims that Carter is alive and begins to weave an incredible tale of his adventures. 
  E. Hoffman Price, during Lovecraft's visit to his home in New Orleans in June 1931, tried to persuade the Providence writer to create a continuation of Randolph Carter's adventures after the character disappears in the story "The Silver Key." HPL refused to be persuaded, so Price himself, without permission, created a text titled "The Lord of Illusion" in August. He sent the result to Lovecraft, hoping that he would agree to edit the work. 
  HPL struggled for a long time with the editing of the text. Although he radically changed the linguistic layer of the work, he made no major changes to the plot. Indeed, it is evident that the ideas are not his own: a lot of action, poorly thought-out concepts, and little suggestiveness.

  A gloomy 17th-century French chateau surrounded by gnarled trees under a misty sky. A single figure stands in the courtyard—poised and spectral—while five ghostly dogs with glowing eyes watch silently from the shadows. 
  Kerfol by Edith Wharton is a chilling and atmospheric ghost story steeped in gothic tradition and psychological nuance. First published in 1916, this haunting tale transports listeners to a decaying Breton estate in France, where an American visitor uncovers a sinister past filled with silence, suspicion, and spectral revenge. 
  Told in layered flashbacks, the story centers on the tragic Lady Kerfol, a woman accused of murder whose only companions were a pack of strangely silent dogs. As past and present begin to intertwine, the tale unfolds as a chilling meditation on isolation, emotional repression, and supernatural justice. 
  This full audiobook brings Wharton’s lush, introspective prose to life with suspenseful, elegant narration. It’s perfect for lovers of gothic fiction, haunted house tales, and psychological ghost stories that linger long after the last word.

  The best-selling author of The Waters (a Read with Jenna Book Club Pick) returns with a tale of love, transgression, and the miraculous healing power of the holiday table. 
  In this contemporary Christmas Carol, Bonnie Jo Campbell has created a complex, gritty, spooky, and ultimately heartwarming holiday story that unfolds in an isolated farmhouse. It is the night before Christmas in a small town in Michigan, and a young woman is haunted by her father’s death. She has been silently penitent for nine years, but being stuck in the past has embittered her, made her cut herself off emotionally from her community and her family, despite her deep devotion to them. When a surprising guest appears at the (dreaded) Christmas Eve dinner, the family opens up to reveal their secrets. Redemption is never easy or wholesale, but sometimes a family needs a good story as much as they need to face the truth. In this remarkable exploration of crime and punishment, salvation arrives at the darkest hour. The power of familial love and a sense of humor promise a brighter and more joyful new beginning for the whole family.
