When Maeve dreams of the murder of her friend's abusive ex—and then he's killed in the real world—her 'dream' job becomes terrifying. At the same time, Peri is losing their grip on reality as they search for a woman who keeps appearing in their dreams. Who is this enticing stranger? How does she keep finding Peri, night after night? And what will it cost to hunt her down?

  Something lurks in the darkness of the trees... 
  A group of friends goes on a hike in search of an ancient spring deep inside the forest. Mythical stories come from the woods - tales of gnomes, fairies, and other not so benevolent creatures. Everything changes for the group when they run into a hiker that mysteriously vanished in the area weeks ago. She is malnourished, dehydrated, and hurt, but she keeps raving about the danger in the woods, repeating one incoherent word over and over in a foreign language. By the time they turn back the way they came, it's too late. 
  There's something ancient in these woods. 
  Something far more dangerous than fairies and gnomes. 
  And it's after them.

  The story begins with the narrator describing the night sky as observed over long sleepless nights from his window, in particular that of the Pole Star, Polaris, which he describes as "winking hideously like an insane watching eye which strives to convey some strange message, yet recalls nothing save that it once had a message to convey".
  He then describes the night of the aurora over his house in the swamp, and how on this night he first dreamed of a city of marble lying on a plateau between two peaks, with Polaris above in the night sky. The narrator describes after a while observing motion within the houses and seeing men beginning to populate the streets, conversing to each other in language that he had never heard before but still, strangely, understood. However, before he could learn any more of this city, he awoke. Many times, he would again dream of the city and the men who dwelt within. After a while, the narrator becomes tired of merely existing as an incorporeal observer and desires to establish his place within the city, simultaneously beginning to question his conceptualization of what constituted reality and thus whether this was just a dream or whether it was real. Then, one night, while listening to discourses of those who populate the city, the narrator obtains a physical form: not as a stranger, but as an inhabitant of the city, which he now knew as Olathoë, lying on the plateau of Sarkis in the land of Lomar, which was besieged by an enemy known as the Inutos. While the other men within the city engage in combat with Inutos, the narrator is sent to a watchtower to signal if the Inutos gain access to the city itself. Within the tower, he notices Polaris in the sky and senses it as a malign presence, hearing a rhyme which appears to be spoken by the star...

  Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a groundbreaking classic that delves into the darkest corners of human ambition and the consequences of playing god. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet obsessed scientist, defies natural laws to create life itself, assembling a monstrous being from dead body parts. What follows is a chilling tale of horror, regret, and a pursuit that spans continents. 
  When Victor’s experiment succeeds, he is horrified by the creature he brings to life—a being both magnificent and terrifying. Abandoned and left to fend for itself, the creature becomes increasingly tormented by its isolation and the rejection it faces from humanity. It seeks its creator, desperate for companionship and understanding but is met only with fear and hostility. The result is a cycle of revenge that leaves a trail of tragedy in its wake.

  This audiobook brings to life the haunting emotions and terrifying moments that have made Frankenstein a timeless work of fiction. Perfect for fans of gothic literature, classic horror, and thought-provoking tales, this story remains as relevant today as it was when first published.
