Sinopsis

In "Mademoiselle Miss, and Other Stories," Henry Harland intricately weaves a tapestry of narratives that explore themes of identity, societal constraints, and the complexities of human relationships. Rendered in a lyrical prose style reminiscent of the fin-de-siècle literary aesthetic, Harland's stories oscillate between poignancy and humor, offering readers a nuanced examination of early 20th-century Western sensibilities. Set against a backdrop of a rapidly modernizing world, the collection is a rich exploration of character-driven plots that reveal the subtle nuances of interpersonal connections and personal aspirations, addressing both the frivolous and the profound in daily life. Henry Harland, an American author and editor influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was deeply immersed in the literary circles of his time, collaborating with notable writers and participating in the aesthetic movement. His experiences in both Europe and America shaped his worldview, imbuing his works with an international sensibility and a keen understanding of the era's cultural conflicts. Harland's unique voice emerged from his belief in the importance of beauty and emotion in literature, a thread that resonates throughout this collection. This captivating anthology is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the delicacies of human emotion and the subtle intricacies of narrative craft. "Mademoiselle Miss" stands as a testament to Harland's literary mastery and is an essential read for those intrigued by the intersection of art and life in historical context.

    What did Lazarus see beyond the veil of death?
    In this haunting masterpiece of psychological and philosophical fiction, Leonid Andreyev conjures a vision of resurrection unlike any ever imagined. Lazarus is not a tale of triumph over death—but of what death leaves behind.
    Strange, unsettling, and metaphysical, this is the story of a man raised from the grave only to cast a cold, unblinking gaze back upon the living. Wherever he walks, beauty withers, joy dissolves, and the veneer of meaning slips away. Those who look into his eyes do not die—they unravel.
    Written in a feverish prose that borders on the ecstatic and apocalyptic, Lazarus is a hypnotic meditation on the abyss that separates existence from extinction—and the unspeakable truth that might wait on the other side.
    Perfect for listeners drawn to existential horror, metaphysical fiction, or the eerie brilliance of Dostoevsky, Kafka, or Poe.

    Title: The Moonlit Road 
    Author: Ambrose Bierce 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1907 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 67 
    Description: 
    The Moonlit Road is one of Ambrose Bierce’s most chilling and psychologically complex tales — a masterclass in suspense, moral horror, and the haunting distortions of memory. Told through three interwoven perspectives, the story follows a quiet country road bathed in moonlight, where a seemingly ordinary walk conceals a brutal crime. A husband recounts the events with detached calm, a grieving mother seeks desperately for the truth, and finally, the dead themselves reveal what the living refuse to see. Each perspective deepens the unease, exposing guilt, cruelty, and the inescapable consequences of self-deception. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Bierce’s razor-sharp insight, dark irony, and moral complexity to life. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest ghost and horror stories ever written, The Moonlit Road is a stark reminder that the truth may linger long after death has spoken. 🕯️

    A novel of the life of the defender of medieval France by the celebrated author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. She saved France when she was fourteen . . .  She was burned at the stake for her efforts . . .  Meet the girl who captured Mark Twain’s heart.  A forgotten masterpiece from one of America’s greatest authors—and the last full-length novel he ever wrote—Joan of Arc follows the Savior of France from her childhood in Domrémy, to her campaigns throughout the French countryside, to her demise at the hands of the English and Burgundians.  Mark Twain was sarcastic, witty, and oft-irreverent, but he had a soft spot for the Maid of Orléans. (As will you after you read this book!) He spent twelve years in research, two in writing, including multiple visits to the National Archives in Paris, and proclaimed Joan of Arc the “best of all my books!”  If you love well-written classics of stunning historical figures, then this is the book for you.
