Sinopsis

This fourth novel of Boothby's Dr. Nikola series reveals that Nikola has discovered all of the facts necessary to extend a human being's life.  He has studied science and magic secrets of Tibetan monks. He explains: "It has been a long and tedious search, but such labour only makes success the sweeter. The machinery is now prepared; all that remains is to fit the various parts together. In six months' time, if all goes well, I will have a man walking upon this earth who, under certain conditions, shall live a thousand years."

To assist him, he hires a destitute young physician, who explains his predicament:  "As ill luck would have it, however, I had got into the wrong set, and before I had been two years in the hospital was over head and ears in such a quagmire of debt and difficulties that it looked as if nothing but an absolute miracle could serve to extricate me."  That miracle seems to have come to him in the person of Dr. Nikola.

The nefarious and wealthy Nikola has purchased a remote castle in the north of England, where the seclusion will allow him and his new assistant and Nikola's deaf-mute malformed Chinese servant to conduct his grand experiment on a human subject.

    After eighteen months staying home under rolling pandemic lockdowns with her girlfriend Joy, artist Thea Palmer has decided the strained relationship has run its course and she's ready to end it—right after the stress of her birthday has passed. 
    Unfortunately, her surprise party comes with a special gift from Joy that puts the breakup on hold: a week-long cabin rental in the tiny northern Ontario community of Hope Falls, for just the two of them. 
    No phone. 
    No internet. 
    No contact with the outside world. 
    Joy says it'll give them the perfect chance to reconnect and maybe restore Thea's creativity after pandemic stress wearing down her desire to paint. But the cabin creaks at night under invisible steps, and the woods have trees that seem to shift in the corner of her eye. Thea swears she sees a strange white figure on the lake beckoning to her and an empty boat that drifts by in the early morning mist. 
    And Joy...Joy seems to be someone else entirely.

    The Third Gate Part 1 is the first in the Amercian Isekai series. Some people found the first edition to be long from chapter to chapter. I reduced it and added some extra information in the book, but skill the same story. I this version is designed for the people that want a quick chapter before bed.

    It is all out war on the Magician in this compilation of Magicians stories. 
    "To think it all started with one alien being murdered. by a magician," said Lance. 
    "Not the first war that started with a murder world war one for example," said Blake sadly. 
    "Now we are being hunted and cancelled by the greys," said Lance, 
    "It started peacefully but the politics and darker elements got into it," said Blake sadly. 
    "Most of them are passionate about their causes whatever they are," Lance said. 
    "I wonder if the killer was caught would their thirst for vengeance be quenched?" Blake asked hopefully. 
    "No, they want more than vengeance for one life! They want more than that now. It is beyond that they want nothing more than the fall of the empire and the Magicians," said Lance. 
    "But Lance! We have to stop them! They are trying to pull down a statue of your granddad!" Said a magician a dimension away to Lance's teenage son Lance Junior. They were watching an angry mob of grey aliens and human sympathizers. Who were trying to rip down a statue of the local hero Blue Midnight, the Emperor of the local solar system in a park. 
    Blue Midnight being of course Blake. 
    "Let them, Gabriel, to fight them would cause them to be angrier and they will turn on us! It is only a statue It is only a symbol! It is not the man," said Lance Junior in the magician's head as he dragged the mad magician away from the place.

    Title: The Tell-Tale Heart 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1843 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 2 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is a cornerstone of Gothic horror and psychological suspense. First published in 1843, this chilling short story explores the depths of madness, obsession, and guilt. A nameless narrator insists upon his sanity even as he recounts the murder of an old man whose “vulture eye” torments him — only to be undone by the relentless sound of a phantom heartbeat beneath the floorboards. 
    This recording is narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, capturing Poe’s feverish intensity and the claustrophobic descent into insanity. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Listeners should prepare for a haunting, unforgettable experience — a tale that continues to define horror through its mastery of paranoia, tension, and the terrifying fragility of the human mind.
