    In the dark shadow of the grove, on the margin of the brook, he beheld something huge, misshapen and towering. It stirred not, but seemed gathered up in the gloom, like some gigantic monster ready to spring upon the traveller. 
     
    During a late-night horse ride, the lovelorn schoolteacher Ichabod Crane passes through the sites of familiar ghost stories. It is dark and the forest is full of spooky sounds. He thinks his imagination is getting the best of him, but suddenly he finds himself being pursued by a shadowy figure. To his horror, Ichabod realizes that the figure has no head on his shoulders, but instead holds his head in front of him on the saddle. Ichabod races to safety at the other side of the bridge, only to turn around and see the horseman’s head hurled directly at him. 
     
    Was Ichabod Crane a victim of the Headless Horseman? Or was it a prank by one of the villagers competing for Ichabod’s love interest? His fate remains the speculation of the settlers in the story, and continues to intrigue audiences to this day. Since Washington Irving first published the story in 1819, this classic legend has been retold in many forms, including TV, music, and theatre. Fans of the Sleepy Hollow film adaptation by Tim Burton will enjoy listening to this production of the original, unabridged text that inspired it all.

    Set against a freezing January morning, The Catnapping follows a gripping true-to-life adventure of courage, hope, and the unbreakable bond between two devoted feline siblings. 
    When Sammy leaves his sister Jazzy safely tucked inside their beloved Catillac to fetch fresh mouse livers from the flea market, a sudden break-in changes everything. A burglar smashes the window, steals the car, and speeds away with Jazzy trapped inside. Alone, terrified, and carried deep into the shadows of a dangerous chop shop, Jazzy must summon every ounce of bravery just to survive. 
    Back at the market, Sammy refuses to stand by. With the help of Officer Fuzz, a determined cab driver named Big Cat, and a growing circle of caring people, he launches an urgent search across the city. As hours turn into days, the story unfolds through parallel perspectives: Jazzy navigating fear, noise, and uncertainty inside the warehouse, and Sammy fighting against time, weather, and despair to bring her home. 
    Inspired by real events, The Catnapping blends suspense, heart, and gentle humor while celebrating community spirit, resilience, and the powerful love that lives between animals and the families who protect them. This audiobook invites listeners of all ages to experience a high-stakes rescue story that proves that even in the coldest moments, hope can prevail.

    The Abominations of Yondo - A...

    The Abominations of Yondo is one of Clark Ashton Smith’s earliest and most haunting tales, first published in 1926. It tells the story of a man exiled into the desolate desert of Yondo, a realm of grotesque landscapes and unspeakable horrors. As he wanders through twisted forests, decaying idols, and monstrous beings, the narrator’s fear builds toward madness, revealing a world that feels ancient, alien, and indifferent to human existence. More prose poem than traditional narrative, it captures the essence of Smith’s imagination—lush, decadent, and steeped in both beauty and dread. The story laid the groundwork for his later cosmic fantasies set in realms like Zothique and Hyperborea, where decay and divinity coexist under dying suns. 
    Clark Ashton Smith (1893–1961) was an American writer, poet, and artist whose work helped define the golden age of weird fiction. Born in Auburn, California, Smith was largely self-educated, developing a vast vocabulary and a fascination with the macabre. Encouraged by H. P. Lovecraft and a contributor to Weird Tales, Smith created vividly imagined worlds filled with doomed civilizations, decadent sorcerers, and monstrous gods. His stories—such as The City of the Singing Flame and The Dark Eidolon—combined rich, lyrical language with a sense of cosmic fatalism that rivaled Lovecraft’s. Beyond fiction, he was an accomplished poet and sculptor, blending sensuality and strangeness across art forms. Though less known in his lifetime, Smith’s influence has only grown, his ornate visions continuing to inspire generations of fantasy and science fiction writers.
