Beschreibung

70+ Supernatural Tales of Gothic Horror is a meticulously curated anthology that delves into the eerie and mystifying worlds crafted by masters of the macabre, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and M. R. James. The collection presents a rich tapestry of gothic horror, ranging from quintessential ghost stories to narratives infused with psychological dread. It invites readers to traverse dimly lit corridors of haunted estates, decipher hidden meanings within cryptic manuscripts, and confront entities that defy the boundaries of reality. With standout pieces such as 'Uncle Silas' and 'ÄòCarmilla,'Äô the anthology captures the atmospheric dread and intricate storytelling that define the gothic horror genre. Le Fanu and James, revered for their contributions to supernatural literature, bring together a formidable array of stories that reflect the evolution of the genre from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. Drawing from cultural angst and fascination with the unknown, these authors have shaped tales that invoke both chilling suspense and intellectual curiosity. Their works emerge from a historical context steeped in Victorian and Edwardian sensibilities, offering insights into the societal and existential fears of their times. This anthology is indispensable for enthusiasts of gothic horror and literary scholars alike. It offers an unparalleled exploration of supernatural narratives, presenting varied perspectives united by their authors' deft storytelling and acute understanding of human psyche and fear. As readers navigate through this collection, they will encounter diverse voices and styles that challenge, enlighten, and entertain, making it an essential volume for both its literary merit and the profound dialogue it inspires within the haunted halls of gothic literature.

    Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
    Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
    Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
    After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
    In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
    Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
    After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
    For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
    Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73.

    Title: August Heat 
    Author: W. F. Harvey 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1910 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 35 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    August Heat by W. F. Harvey is a study in fate and foreboding — a story where coincidence feels like prophecy and the ordinary turns quietly terrifying. On a blistering summer afternoon, an artist sketches the image of a man destined for death. By chance, or by something darker, he meets that very man soon after — and together they face a future that may already be set in stone. 
    Harvey’s understated masterpiece captures the dread of inevitability without a single ghost or monster. Its horror lies in what cannot be changed — the creeping sense that destiny is real, and that some meetings are written long before they occur. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the suffocating heat, the weight of coincidence, and the chill of realization that closes around both men. While the text itself 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, August Heat stands as a haunting reminder that true terror needs no apparition — only time, silence, and the certainty of what must come.

    ​I used to not believe in witches.  
      
    Until I enrolled in Dr. Alondra Johansen's metaphysical history class. Bryce, Alondra's super cute teaching assistant, told me my element sign is Earth. I am, in fact, a pragmatic sort of girl. My name is Cadence Hawthorne, but you can call me Katie. 
      
    Darkness fell over me and my family during my sophomore year. I thought maybe Alondra could help me with my grief and visions of ghosts. But there was this guy working with her, with a goatee and sardonic smile, who looked more like the devil than a professor. He did terrible things to my best friend, threatening my growing love for Bryce. 
      
    Do you believe in ghosts? How 'bout witches? I do. See, it was at Hawthorne University that I learned all about them. Come take a look in my grimoire. I wrote it all down here in Broomstick. 
    Content warning: Broomstick is a new adult college paranormal romance containing profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.
