  England, 1644. Folklore runs rife throughout the country. Lycanthropes prowl by the moon, and women are murdered on accusation of witchcraft. In the township of Elkwood, Ellie Harewood becomes a victim of renowned Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins. 
  Bound to a tree and left to die, Ellie is discovered just minutes from death by Sister Luna, an old hag haunting the forest. Sensing great power within the young woman, Luna barters with Samael, the spirit entrusted to deliver Ellie to the afterlife, agreeing a greater amount of souls in place of Ellie, if she be spared. 
  With one month to make good on the promise, Ellie is released to the guidance of Sister Luna, who must teach her to realise the art of witchraft. Meanwhile, Hopkins and his company of hunters must find the witch and deliver her to London at the King's request, or face a trial of fraud brought about by the most powerful people in England; Parliament. 
  A race against time ensues between Ellie and the Witchfinder. Can Hopkins find the witch and deliver her to London, or will Ellie master the power lying dormant inside and deliver the souls as promised, before Samael returns to reclaim her?

  Frankenstein by Mary Shelley -...

  Mary Shelley, Michael Henrik Wynn

  This is a radio play version of Mary Shelley's classic novel, about the scientist Victor Frankenstein who created a monster. Recent biographies of Mary Shelley have pointed to the fact that Mary Shelley's motives for writing her story differ from those the public eventually attributed to it. There is good support for this because Mary Shelley wrote a preface to the 1831 edition of her novel in which she explicitly states this. And the themes she mentions are also present in her less talked about novel, The Last Man. 
   
  This is an adaptation by Michael Henrik Wynn for the education net radio stream Historyradio.org, and he also narrates and plays the various parts.

  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." 
  Following the mysterious death of his grand-uncle, Francis Wayland Thurston inherits a puzzling collection of research papers, unearthly clay sculptures, and frantic global news clippings. As he attempts to piece together these seemingly unrelated fragments, Thurston uncovers a terrifying reality: a shadowy, worldwide cult worshipping an ancient, slumbering entity hidden beneath the Pacific Ocean. From the fevered dreams of a young artist in Providence to the blood-curdling swamps of Louisiana and a doomed sea voyage in uncharted waters, Thurston's investigation draws him closer to an apocalyptic truth. The stars are aligning, and the Great Old Ones are waiting to reclaim the earth. 
  If you crave creeping tension, psychological dread, and mind-bending lore, you will be mesmerized by this definitive piece of Cosmic Horror. Blending detective fiction, dark fantasy, and eerie maritime adventure, this audiobook masterfully explores the fragility of human sanity against the vast, indifferent universe, delivering an atmosphere dripping with primordial terror and eldritch abominations. 
  About the Author: H. P. Lovecraft was an American writer whose groundbreaking blend of science fiction and gothic horror forever changed the literary landscape. Often regarded as the father of weird fiction, his mythos continues to inspire generations of writers, filmmakers, and artists.
