Synopsis

The Strange Visitation is a mystery tale set on the Christmas Eve in the mansion of well-known multi-millionaire Josiah McNason who receives an unusual and uninvited guest. It was a small uncanny creature, like an unpleasantly huge spider with a human head, small enough to curl itself up on the arm of an easy chair, yet large enough to create fear and repulsion in the mind of such a powerful man. The creature presented itself as Professor Goblin from Hell's United Empire Club, threatening to skin millionaire's soul. As the witching hour approaches, the Goblin grows wings and takes Josiah away on a life changing road trip somewhere between dreams and reality.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
    "The Beast in the Cave" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. The first draft was written in the Spring of 1904, with the final draft finished in April 1905, when Lovecraft was age fourteen. It was first published in the June 1918 issue of the amateur journalism publication The Vagrant, this being the equivalent of a well-edited fanzine today. The tale is to be regarded as an example of Lovecraft's juvenilia, and is classed as such in collections of his works. 
    In the 1930s Lovecraft sometimes sent a copy of the typescript to his promising young correspondents, as an example of what he had produced at their age, and also as a first exercise in re-writing. In this way, he could best judge how much imagination and promise they really had. 
    A man touring the vast Mammoth Cave becomes separated from his guide and becomes lost. His torch expires and he is giving up hope of finding a way out in the pitch dark when he hears strange non-human footsteps approaching him...

    A captivating collection of ghost stories from "one of the most gifted writers working today" (New York Times), The Night Side of the River is as ingeniously provocative as it is downright spooky.In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village séance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband. Gloriously gothic and unnervingly contemporary, Winterson examines grief, revenge, and the myriad ways in which technology can disrupt the boundary between life and death.

Her son, John, is healthy and the image of his father, Jack; Maggie is asleep in her pram; and she’s sure a third will soon join her brood. Then her idyll is shattered by a ferocious animal attack, and she finally realises that the old tales have truth to them.

    Present Day – Yorkshire is in the grip of a heatwave, and Thruscross Reservoir has dried up to reveal the remains of the drowned village of Thores-Cross beneath.

    Emma knows what the inkpot portends: 
    Jennet has woken.
