David Herbert Lawrence was born on the 11th September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, a coal mining town where the reality of a harsh life was only useful as experiences for future literary works. He was educated at Beauvale Board School and became the first local boy to receive a scholarship to attend Nottingham High School. After 3 years he became a junior clerk in Haywood’s surgical appliances factory. He was also attempting a literary career which, in the short term, led to a teacher training position in Eastwood and later a teaching qualification from University College, Nottingham. Lawrence’s first efforts were poems, short stories and a draft of ‘The White Peacock’. Moving to London and a teaching position in Croydon his writing attracted the attention of Ford Madox Ford, editor of The English Review, and he commissioned him to write ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’. Wanting to write full-time he now began work on what would become ‘Sons and Lovers. In 1912 he met the older and married mother-of-three Frieda Weekley. They eloped to Germany and here Lawrence could see for himself the growing tensions with France. So keen was his interest that he was arrested and accused of being a British spy. In early 1914 Frieda obtained her divorce and they returned to Britain to be married just days before the outbreak of war. Owing to her German parentage, and his own public dislike of militarism and violence, the couple were treated with contempt and suspicion throughout the war years. Despite this he continued to write but his reputation in England was so tarnished and, mirrored by his own disdain for the country, he and Frieda left England in November 1919, first for Europe and then America via Ceylon and Australia. They bought a ranch in Taos, New Mexico and visited Mexico several times. The third visit in March 1925 caused a near fatal attack of malaria. To convalesce they moved to Florence. Here he continued work on ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ which for many years would cause controversy. A renewed interest in oil painting resulted in an exhibition in 1929 which was raided by the police and several works were confiscated. D H Lawrence died of complications arising from a bout of tuberculosis on the 2nd of March 1930 in Vence, France. He was 44.Show book

Title: The Doom That Came to Sarnath Series Name: Timeless Terrors Series Entry: 133 Author: H. P. Lovecraft Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1920 Public Domain: Yes YouTube Channel: Jonathan Dunne Horror Stories & Audiobooks (search on YouTube) Description: The Doom That Came to Sarnath by H. P. Lovecraft is a chilling mythic chronicle of pride, cruelty, and inevitable cosmic retribution. Written in Lovecraft’s richly archaic style, the tale unfolds like a forbidden legend whispered down through forgotten ages. In the land of Mnar, beside a still and mist-shrouded lake, the proud city of Sarnath rose in splendor after conquering the ancient, alien city of Ib. The beings of Ib—strange, green, and mute—were utterly destroyed, their memory mocked and their idol carried away as a trophy. For centuries, Sarnath prospered, its alabaster walls gleaming and its feasts growing ever more decadent. Yet on the eve of a grand celebration marking the thousandth year of Ib’s fall, unease begins to creep across the revelers’ hearts. The stolen idol inspires dread. Whispers echo through torchlit halls. And as the appointed hour approaches, an ancient doom—long foretold—draws near from the dark waters of the lake. Lovecraft crafts a tale not of sudden violence, but of mounting inevitability: a civilization blind to its own arrogance, haunted by forces older than mankind. Rich with dreamlike imagery and mythic cadence, The Doom That Came to Sarnath stands as an early and powerful expression of cosmic horror—where time is vast, memory is long, and vengeance may sleep for centuries before it wakes. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s solemn grandeur, creeping dread, and apocalyptic finality—a legend of forgotten gods, drowned cities, and the terrible price of pride.Show book

The countryside – what is it for? A paradise on earth where you can relax and get creative? Or an outdoor wool factory where every other house is an Airbnb and there are fewer trees than Camden. In his new collection of short stories David Gaffney explores the theme of town versus country through a number of different lenses, including his own experience of being brought up in west Cumbria then moving to Manchester. A creative residency on the coast of Scotland becomes weirder and weirder in "The Retreat"; 'I've always had the feeling that the countryside has something against me and that one day it will take its revenge.' In "The Table", a recluse in Penrith uses mid-century furniture to lure city dwellers into a world of 'depressed farmers with shotguns and bottomless pits of slurry that will swallow you so hard you'll never be seen again. And in "The Garages" the pressure of city living forces a man to become oddly obsessed with empty spaces. Often funny, often haunting, often profound, Gaffney uses dark humour and surreal characters to demonstrate a deep understanding of how places, urban or rural, can shape, influence and sometimes distort our lives. 'People who like the countryside tend to believe in things that aren't really there,' says a character in "The Country Pub". These are indeed stories about things that aren't really there, and this is why they resonate with you long after you have stopped reading.Show book
An evil spirit murdered a two-bit hustler preacher on French St. Martin. At least, that’s what a conspiracy obsessed Vodou priest would have Jerry Snyder and DJ Martin believe, when they’re called in to investigate the preacher’s stabbing and the kidnapping of his underage girlfriend. To a seasoned investigator like Jerry, a murderous spirit seems… far fetched. For starters, a laundry list of locals were swindled by the preacher, and no matter how vengeful a ghost may become, Jerry knows that without a physical body, it’s impossible to hold a knife. But, as Jerry and DJ methodically work the case, neither man can shake the feeling that something wicked is chasing them through the dark alleys and secret churches of St. Martin. Whatever it is, Jerry has to find a way to shake it off and get the job done, because there’s still a kidnapped girl to be saved.Show book
