  The Apparition of Mrs. Veal is a pamphlet published in 1706, often attributed to Daniel Defoe, and is considered one of the first modern ghost stories. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of Mrs. Bargrave, a resident of Canterbury, who receives an unexpected visit from her deceased friend, Mrs. Veal, the day after her death. 
  On September 8, 1705, Mrs. Bargrave is surprised when Mrs. Veal knocks on her door at noon, dressed in a riding habit. The two women engage in a heartfelt conversation where Mrs. Veal expresses a desire to reconnect before embarking on a journey. She discusses their shared past, including books they read together about death and friendship, and asks Mrs. Bargrave to write a letter to her brother regarding her possessions, including a purse of gold.Despite Mrs. Bargrave's initial joy at the reunion, she becomes increasingly unsettled by the peculiar nature of their conversation and Mrs. Veal's refusal to touch anything due to her discomfort. After an hour and three-quarters of conversation, Mrs. Veal hastily departs, leaving Mrs. Bargrave bewildered.

  ‘Totally gripping and atmospheric. This hypnotic timeslip about witches is compulsive reading. Breathtaking and beautifully written… Will stay with the reader long after the last page.’ Bestselling author of The Witch’s Tree, Elena Collins 
  Now: When Adrianna arrives at the small, run-down cottage, near the sea in rural Norfolk, she can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Here she can forget her life in the city and the problems she’s left behind there, at least for a while. 
  But – like Adrianna herself – the cottage holds secrets. And when Adrianna finds a mysterious bundle of notes hidden under a floorboard, she can’t shake the idea that they’ve been waiting for her. Especially when – in the rambling, overgrown garden – she then finds a strangely-carved stone, drawing her into a centuries-old mystery… 
  1646: Between her work as the village midwife and the medicines she sells from her cottage, Ursula has no need for a man. But this ideal leaves her unprotected in a world where just one accusation of witchcraft can mean certain death. So when she catches the eye of a powerful new local doctor, she must use every part of her cunning, or risk becoming his prisoner… 
  Can the two women – their paths bound by place and history – each find the keys to their own destiny?

  Title: At the Mountains of Madness — Part 8 of 12 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1936 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 85 — Part 8 of 12 
  Description: 
  In Part Eight of At the Mountains of Madness, the revelations carved into the ancient city’s walls give way to a far more immediate and visceral horror. What Dyer and Danforth have learned from the murals begins to take on dreadful relevance as their exploration pushes deeper into the labyrinthine ruins. 
  The story recorded in stone—of rebellion, degeneration, and catastrophic upheaval—no longer feels safely confined to the distant past. Subtle signs within the city suggest that not all of its history is ancient. Strange markings, unsettling absences, and hints of recent disturbance begin to erode the fragile comfort of academic detachment. 
  The vast Antarctic silence presses in as the explorers move forward, their scientific curiosity now overshadowed by mounting unease. The city feels less like a dead monument and more like a place suspended in uneasy stillness—its long-buried secrets not entirely at rest. 
  In this eighth installment of the 12-part complete audiobook series, Lovecraft masterfully shifts from cosmic history to creeping immediacy, as knowledge gives way to dread and the explorers confront the possibility that some ancient horrors may not be as extinct as they once believed.

  For fans of Midnight Mass comes a haunting new horromance. Something dreadful is festering in the old Thomas Bog. For years, it's done what it has been taught to do—it swallows. But it's done following orders. 
   
  It's been three years since Mila Thomas's brother Jed went missing and his case went cold. Since then, Mila has fled town, running from the voices of the dead that reach her from the depths of the old family bog, afraid she would hear her brother's among them. 
   
  But when her younger sister, Agatha, calls her back home to celebrate her graduation, Mila can’t help but return to her old haunts. When she arrives, Mila comes face to face with the town reverend, who informs her that Agatha is now also missing. Finding her mother and the local police utterly useless, Mila opens herself up to the voices of the bog in the hopes that they can tell her where her sister is. But something else lurks beneath the bog's waters, something that would sooner hunt her than help her. As more bodies turn up on the sandy shores, Mila must overcome her complicated history with the reverend's estranged son—the boy she never quite got over—to unearth the fate of the town's missing members and the family secrets that may be behind everything.
