Every page offers a glimpse of Austen discovering her voice and having tremendous fun doing it.

Nyarlathotep - From their pens...

HP Lovecraft

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.

Series Entry: 126 
Author: Robert W. Chambers 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1895 
Public Domain: Yes 
Description: 
The Passeur is a chilling exploration of fate, darkness, and the uncanny, written by Robert W. Chambers, master of psychological and supernatural horror. In this story, Chambers weaves a tense, atmospheric tale of a mysterious figure known as the “passeur” — a sinister guide who ferries souls across the threshold between life and death. 
The narrator becomes entangled in events that straddle the line between reality and nightmare, encountering spectral presences, cryptic warnings, and the inescapable pull of a destiny he cannot fully understand. Chambers’ narrative is rich in suspense, blending a brooding Gothic sensibility with moments of quiet, unsettling terror. The horror is subtle but pervasive, arising from the unknown, the unseen, and the inexorable forces that shape human life. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Chambers’ eerie atmosphere, mounting dread, and the uncanny tension that makes The Passeur a quintessential tale of late 19th-century supernatural horror — a story where crossing the threshold may reveal more than the living are ready to face.
