  "When Lazarus rose from the grave, after three days and nights in the mysterious thraldom of death, and returned alive to his home, it was a long time before anyone noticed the evil peculiarities in him that were later to make his very name terrible."    One of Andreyev's best-known short stories, "Lazarus" follows the Eastern Orthodox tradition that Lazarus never smiled again, and it explores what happened to the biblical figure after his resurrection from the dead. The unsettling coldness that exudes from the man who cheated death cannot be denied by anyone who meets him. As his notoriety increases, few can resist the chance of an audience with the man who has seen beyond the realms of life, but be they urchin or Emperor, none can stand to be in the presence of Lazarus for long.     "Lazarus", first published in Russian in 1906, deals with themes of faith, mortality and the human condition. This recording is based on a translation by Thomas Seltzer.

  Biting wit and lush descriptions combine in this striking new edition of Oscar Wilde’s short story collection, which contains Wilde’s most famous story, “The Canterville Ghost.” Originally published in 1887 in the British literary magazine, The Court and Society Review. “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime: A Study of Duty” headlines this anthology, first published in 1891. In addition to the title work, Wilde added “The Canterville Ghost,” “The Model Millionaire,” and “The Sphinx Without a Secret.” Editions dated after 1900 (including this one) also contain “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.”   In the 132 years since the publication of this collection, numerous actors, writers, and even musicians wrote adaptations of “The Canterville Ghost,” the most popular of the stories in this volume. But those adaptations also made significant changes in the plot.   Now with a foreword by Hugo-award nominee Paul Di Filippo, go back to the original. Read “The Canterville Ghost,” and the other stories as Oscar Wilde wrote them.

  Book 19: Psychic VisionsRemember...The haunting refrain torments Bethany, almost as much as the horrors of what she’s forgotten. Chased, terrified, and injured, she races away from a gunman into the woods, determined to once again escape those after her. Hunter’s first meeting with Bethany reveals an injured, exhausted, and possibly dangerous psychic. Plus she was uncooperative, barely civil, keeping everyone at arm’s length. Only she needs help, and he is the one available. Time for the hunted to turn hunter, and that is his domain. Especially if he gets to champion the underdog, which, in this case, is a prickly and way-too-beautiful woman, whom he doesn’t want to let out of his sight. Not only is she being tracked but they want her back as a captive. A captive to do their bidding. And they’ve enlisted another of their group, her ex-best friend Lizzy, to hunt down Bethany. They want, no need, her to remember who she really is. With Hunter at her side, Bethany fights for survival, racing toward an explosive reveal that leaves them all gasping, as their world turns upside down.

  Everyone has a final secret. I collect them. 
  My patients aren’t on my ward just to die - they’re here to confess.  
  Before the body bag, there’s a final reckoning. Murderers. Serial Killers. Monsters in human skin. They tell me their truths because I don’t flinch - and because I’ve made a deal with death.  
  These are the confessions no one gets to hear. These are the behind-the-scenes confessions that don’t make it into the Asylum Confession books, the ones I hear but wasn’t sure I’d share.  
  Well, now I am.  
  And you get to hear them. One confession at a time. 
  Welcome to Only Jack Knows.What to expect: 
  You ever meet someone who seemed… normal? 
  Yeah, Madison was that guy. 
  Tall, polite, a little nerdy—but there was something off behind his eyes. 
  I didn’t see it at first. None of us did. 
  Until he snapped. 
  In this episode, I take you inside an unsettling confession about love, loss, and what a man will do when grief turns to rage. 
  This one doesn’t come with a trigger warning. 
  Because by the time you realize what he did… it’s already too late.
