  The Odd Women

  George Gissing

  Before he was 21 George Gissing conceived the ambition of writing a long series of novels, somewhat in the manner of Balzac, whom he admired. The first of these, Workers in the Dawn, appeared in 1880, to be followed by 21 others. Between 1886 and 1895 he published one or more novels every year. He also wrote Charles Dickens: A Critical Study (1898), a perceptive piece of literary criticism.Gissing's work has a good deal of documentary interest for its detailed and accurate accounts of lower-middle-class London life. On the social position and psychology of women, he is particularly acute: The Odd Women is a powerful study of female frustration. He did not lack human sympathies, but his obvious contempt for so many of his characters reflects an artistic limitation. Gissing was deeply critical, in an almost wholly negative way, of contemporary society. Of his novels, New Grub Street, considered by some critics to be his only great book, is unique in its merciless analysis of the compromises required by the literary life.Gissing's 1893 novel takes on the 19th century "Woman Question" by looking at themes of feminism, marriage, and love. The novel raises these issues through the lives of several contrasting women: Mary Barfoot, a feminist philanthropist who helps train women for careers; her close friend Rhoda Nunn, who believes marriage is a disastrous choice for women; and Monica Madden, who starts out as one of their protegees but chooses to marry a seemingly kind older man. As Monica experiences the challenges of married life, Rhoda finds herself drawn to Mary's cousin, the charming but apparently profligate Everard

  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1929

  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 62 — Part 2 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 2 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare has only begun.
