Summary

The hectic seaside town of Brompton-On-Sea sizzles in the summer heatwave. Holiday makers and locals alike find distraction and amusement on the pier, where the Cranville family have owned and run the fun fair for generations.
 
The rides on offer rival any of those offered by the biggest theme parks in the country, but at a far more reasonable cost. Pete Cranville, the senior member of the clan, assures that all his attractions offer their guests true value for money.
 
The Ghost Train is a particular favourite with visitors. Located on the very edge of the pier, it might seem a little out of the way, but it is still one of the fair’s most popular rides.
 
And for those who make it out alive, it truly is a marvellous experience.
Available since: 11/04/2022.
Print length: 386 pages.

    1780. Wild and windswept Yorkshire. Sixteen-year-old Heathcliff runs from the only home he has ever known in a squall of pain and fury. 
     
    Blown into an inn on the edge of the moors, sodden, rejected, and hankering for revenge, he steals a horse and sets out for Liverpool in search of answers. The town he arrives in is a brutal new world, brimming in equal measure with risk and opportunity. Here, Heathcliff might map his future, make his fortune, forge a role for himself. But at what cost… 
     
    Reimagining the three years during which Heathcliff is absent from Wuthering Heights, This Thing of Darkness traverses countries and oceans in pursuit of one of literature's best known characters.

    The Limerick family began experiencing paranormal activity in the 1870s right after their unique mansion was built. Clive Limerick reported witnessing objects soaring across rooms, hearing disembodied laughter, and crying. Other members of the family reported seeing red eyes staring into the house from the windows. Even the ones on the second floor. Food was thrown from plates and utensils twisted into unusable shapes. A headless skeleton stalked the property and rumor has it, it was responsible for the missing Limerick children. 
     
     
     
    On the day the remaining family decided to finally leave the house, a fire iron allegedly floated up and started hitting the last Limerick son on the head killing him instantly. The family's tragedies took their toll on Annabelle Limerick and abandoned the family home. No one was ever brave enough to live in the house again, until 2021 when the remains of the building were moved to Alabama. But the activity continues. The glowing red eyes have returned and the headless skeleton is being blamed for a missing carpenter. 
     
     
     
    The Gulf Coast Paranormal team is ready to get answers for the new homeowners but are they equipped to deal with this potentially evil situation? With new technologies and some old—they take on the Beast of Limerick House. But will this entity be willing to leave without taking one more life?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Henry Armstrong has been buried, yet he doesn’t quite feel dead. In the pitch-black confinement of his grave, he slowly grasps the absurdity of his situation, though his body lies sealed in a tight coffin beneath layers of fresh soil. Above him, on this gloomy summer night, three men are digging up his resting place—two medical students and their mysterious companion, Jess, who knows the cemetery better than anyone. But none of them could anticipate the horror awaiting them. Bierce’s tale reaches into the depths of dread, leaving readers with one chilling question: what truly happens on the edge between life and death?
