  D H Lawrence - Six of the Best -...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  The Adventure of the Empty House

  The Adventure of the Empty House, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.The story takes place in 1894, three years after the death of Sherlock Holmes. On the night of March 30, an apparently unsolvable locked-room murder takes place in London: the Park Lane Mystery, the killing of the Honourable Ronald Adair, son of the Earl of Maynooth, a colonial governor in Australia. He was in his sitting room, working on accounts of some kind, as indicated by the papers and money found by police. Adair liked playing whist and regularly did so at several clubs, but never for great sums of money. It does, however, come out that he won as much as £420 in partnership with Colonel Sebastian Moran. The motive does not appear to be robbery as nothing has been stolen, and it seems that Adair had not an enemy in the world. It seems odd that Ronald's door was locked from the inside. The only other way out was the open window, and there was a 20-foot (about 6 m) drop below it onto a flower bed, which now shows no sign of being disturbed. Adair was killed with a soft-nosed revolver bullet to the head. No one in the area at the time heard a shot...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 62 — Part 1 of 10 
  Description: 
  Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, featuring one of H. P. Lovecraft’s most infamous works of cosmic dread: The Dunwich Horror. 
  In the remote Massachusetts village of Dunwich, something is terribly wrong. The Whateley family — feared, shunned, whispered about — has welcomed a child into the world… but Wilbur Whateley is no ordinary boy. He grows unnaturally fast, speaks strange languages, and seeks forbidden knowledge from the Necronomicon itself. 
  Locked away in their decaying farmhouse, Wilbur and his occult-obsessed grandfather nurture a monstrous secret — a presence too large, too hungry, and too alien to remain hidden much longer. 
  As livestock vanish, the hills tremble, and the air fills with unholy sounds, the truth becomes undeniable: 
  an unseen horror is waiting to break free. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this fresh performance resurrects a groundbreaking tale of ancient gods, corrupted bloodlines, and the terrifying thinness of reality. 
  This is Part 1 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare has only begun.
