  The unnamed narrator of the story goes into the middle of the Arabian Peninsula to seek out and enter a lost city. After hearing a clanging seemingly coming from deep inside the earth, the narrator inspects mysterious carvings and ruins until nightfall. The next day, the narrator discovers a cliff riddled with low-ceilinged buildings, unfit for human use. While he attends to his suddenly nervous camel, the narrator discovers a somewhat larger temple, with altars, painted murals, and a small staircase going down. After he descends, his torch dies, and he crawls on his hands and knees until he enters a hallway with small wooden coffins containing bizarre reptiles inside of them lining the walls. The narrator notices a large amount of light coming from an unknown source. After crawling to it on his hands and knees, he sees a large brass door with a descent into a misty portal. He then hears moaning coming from the coffin passage, and feels a strong wind coming from the passage, trying to pull him down. Against all odds, he resists, and sees what appear to be reptiles with a body shaped like a cross between a crocodile and a seal with a strange head common to neither of them, involving a protruding forehead, horns, lack of a nose, and an alligator-like jaw crawling behind the lit portal. The wind dies down after the last of it flows down into the light, when suddenly the door closes behind the narrator, leaving him in the dark.

  In the towering city of Avalon, where ambition reigns and secrets shimmer beneath glass skyscrapers, Ashlynn Sinclair is a rising analyst with a haunted past—and a dangerous bloodline. On the night of a rare Blood Moon, a long-buried power awakens inside her, marked by a glowing sigil and the return of a mysterious doppelgänger she has seen since childhood. Her world unravels when Marcus Wren, the enigmatic CEO of Vault Enterprises, reveals the truth: she is Unbound—one of three beings born in each cycle, neither human nor divine, but something in between. 
  As Ashlynn begins her transformation, she is drawn into an ancient Trial meant to test the strength of the Unbound. Standing beside her is Adrian, a calm and calculating guardian from her past who holds answers to questions she never dared ask—about her family's fiery death, her supernatural heritage, and the war between factions fighting to control the thinning Veil between worlds. 
  Together, Ashlynn and Adrian navigate a shadowy underworld of secret vaults, corrupted corporations, and magical societies like the Black Quorum and Sanctum. The emergence of the third Unbound—a powerful, unstable entity tied to them both—threatens to tip the balance toward chaos. As Avalon teeters on the brink of becoming a battleground for the forgotten gods and their mortal proxies, Ashlynn must choose: suppress the power that could destroy her, or embrace the flame that could make her a legend. 
  But trust is a rare currency in Avalon, and every ally carries an agenda. As betrayals unravel and old pacts shatter, Ashlynn, Adrian, and the remnants of a fractured resistance must face the greatest truth of all—sometimes the real enemy is the part of yourself you cannot escape.

  In The Whisperer in Darkness, H. P. Lovecraft merges cosmic horror with eerie science fiction to deliver one of his most chilling tales of paranoia and the unknown. When Miskatonic University professor Albert Wilmarth investigates strange happenings in the remote hills of Vermont, he uncovers a terrifying conspiracy involving alien entities known as the Mi-Go—fungoid beings from the outer void who can harvest human brains for interstellar travel. As letters, whispers, and shadows close in, Wilmarth’s descent into dread reveals the vast, incomprehensible horror lurking just beyond human understanding. Perfect for readers of dark cosmic fiction, Lovecraft’s 1931 classic remains a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos and modern sci-fi horror alike.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume our authors present tales of dark, macabre, and disturbing deeds.  From the pens of Rudyard Kipling, M R James, Marjorie Bowen, Algernon Blackwood and others many others come carefully crafted literary journeys designed to disrupt reality, jangle nerves and feed upon our souls.
