    Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural.  
    Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.  
    As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities.  
    Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. 
    Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.

    Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
    It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
    By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
    His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
    His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
    W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

    Shusaku Endo (1923-1996), widely considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, is known for his historical novels, which masterfully probe the encounters between the cultures and religions of East and West from a Japanese Catholic perspective. A salient and curious theme in his work is the unique image of a maternal God, and a concomitant sense of loss and longing for maternal love. 
     
     
     
    Confronting the Shadows, the semiautobiographical novella discovered at the Endo Museum in Nagasaki in 2020, is the author's most personal work and constitutes the interpretive key to his entire oeuvre. Translated into English here for the first time, it tells the story of Suguro, an aspiring novelist who was separated from his mother after his parents' divorce. Desperate to understand the woman his mother was, he sets out to retrace her footsteps, only to find himself face to face with his own demons. Accompanying the novella are five stories; exploring complex truths in uncomplicated prose, each tale discloses the intricacies of the sacred feminine and the apprehensions and joys of familial love. Endo once again beams bright light on the hidden corners of the human heart in this intimate and remarkable new collection.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    Published posthumously in 1914 by his widow, Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories gathers nine tales of terror by Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula. This unabridged audiobook opens with the legendary title story, widely believed to be a lost chapter cut from the novel itself. On Walpurgis Night, a young Englishman ignores every warning and wanders alone from Munich into a deserted, snow-covered valley, where an abandoned village, a marble tomb and a great grey wolf await him. 
     
    The horrors that follow are just as unforgettable. A student seeks solitude in a house once owned by a merciless hanging judge and meets its monstrous rats. In Nuremberg, a careless tourist provokes a vengeance that leads straight to the Iron Maiden. On the outskirts of Paris, a stranger learns what lurks in the city's rubbish heaps in The Burial of the Rats. Along the coasts of Scotland and Cornwall, curses, prophecies and doubles close in on those who thought themselves safe. 
     
    Gothic horror, supernatural dread and Victorian suspense combine in this classic short story collection, the perfect companion for every fan of Dracula, vampire fiction, ghost stories and weird tales. 
     
    Stories included: Dracula's Guest • The Judge's House • The Squaw • The Secret of the Growing Gold • The Gipsy Prophecy • The Coming of Abel Behenna • The Burial of the Rats • A Dream of Red Hands • Crooken Sands
