Waxworks - A female journalist...

Ethel Lina White

Ethel Lina White was born on the 2nd April 1876 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in Wales. 
Her family were wealthy due to her father’s invention of a waterproofing material used, initially, for the London Underground. 
Ethel started writing when she was only a child and published essays and poems in children’s papers.  She was also a talented artist. 
As an adult she began to write short stories and, some years later, she started writing novels.  At the time she was working for the Ministry of Pensions in London but resigned in order to accept an advance of ten pounds and begin a career as a novelist.  It was this determination that helped her become one of the best-known crime writers in the English-speaking world during the 1930’s and 40’s. 
Perhaps her best-known books are the ‘The Lady Vanishes’ and ‘The Spiral Staircase’ both of which were originally entitled differently but were republished with new names after being filmed.  Whilst today she lacks attention, in her day she was as popular and as highly regarded as Agatha Christie. 
Ethel Lina White died in London on the 13th of August 1944 of ovarian cancer.  She was 68. 
In her will she made a bizarre condition in order for her sister to receive her estate of £5737.  It read: "I give and bequeath unto Annis Dora White all that I possess on condition she pays a qualified surgeon to plunge a knife into my heart after death."   In life she had a fear of being buried alive.

Alanna McFall

Chelsea is determined to make it to her brother’s wedding. And she’s not going to let the fact that she’s been dead for two years stop her.
Joining with her mime friend from a New York City park and her ghostly mentor with forty years of afterlife under her belt, the three women set out on foot for San Francisco. Along the way, they are faced with joy, sorrow, and the haunting surprises of the open road. This humorous and lightly macabre journey explores relationships, personal burdens, and what it means to keep moving, even when your heartbeat has stopped.
"A marvelous, surprising ghost story that celebrates the power of theatre to lift spirits and save lives. McFall's novel is an exquisite meditation on embracing the past and letting it go. This book will haunt you!" —Andrea Hairston, award-winning author of Will Do Magic for Small Change and Redwood and Wildfire
"A delightfully queer (in all possible senses of the word) and unexpected road trip story about friendship, loss, love, and the many kinds of family. I laughed, I cried, I cheered—it’s a show like no other." —Alex Wells, award-winning author of Hunger Makes the Wolf
"I copy-edited...The Traveling Triple-C Incorporeal Circus and was pleased to do so because I think it's one of the outstanding fantasy books of 2019...an on-the-road feminist version of Peter S. Beagle's A Fine and Private Place. I highly recommend this book, particularly to people who love literary fantasy."—Cat Rambo, award-winning author of You Sexy Thing
"Immensely charming…The Traveling Triple-C Incorporeal Circus brings a lot of ideas to the table and manages to pay all of them off in satisfying fashion. It’s weird, lovely, dark, and familiar." —San Francisco Book Review

The Door in the Wall

H. G. Wells

Title: The Door in the Wall
Author: H. G. Wells
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1906
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Number 42 in the Timeless Terrors series
Description:
The Door in the Wall by H. G. Wells is a haunting meditation on memory, regret, and the fragile boundary between reality and imagination. Blending psychological mystery with quiet supernatural suggestion, Wells crafts one of his most poignant and enduring tales.
Lionel Wallace, a successful statesman, is haunted by a recurring vision from his childhood — a green door in a white wall that opens onto a garden of impossible beauty. Throughout his life, the door reappears at unexpected moments, tempting him to abandon the world he knows for one that may not exist at all. As Wallace’s obsession deepens, the story becomes a reflection on the price of ambition, the ache of lost wonder, and the peril of yearning for what lies beyond the known.
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Wells’s tone of wistful dread and quiet revelation — the sense that paradise may be only a step away, but that to open the door is to lose oneself forever. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Door in the Wallendures as a tale of elusive beauty and the inexorable pull of the mysterious — a reminder that some doors, once found, can never truly be closed.

“...an excellent work of suspenseful horror fiction... I absolutely loved the dialogue and East Texas vibe... definitely recommend The Haunt at Hogg Run for horror fans looking for a fully immersive and spine-tingling experience.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS)
It's not awkward at all when you're forced on a family vacation with your new stepmother and her young daughter. Reluctantly, Macy Donner agrees to it to please her father. But camping? Even worse.
Beset by ominous weather, power outages, and hulking shadows heralded by terrifying screams from the darkness, Macy realizes that she's their only hope for survival—a thin hope, at best. Although she's learned a thing or two from her monster-hunting friends, she's not equipped for the horrors of the nearby, abandoned haunted house, or for its long-buried secrets—secrets that want to kill her.
“Themes of love and family bonding, although rare in horror stories, predominate the storyline. With both fantastical and real-life monsters, suspenseful chase sequences, and a brave protagonist, The Haunt at Hogg Run is a real treat for fans of the horror genre.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Shrabastee Chakraborty (5 STARS)
