  Step into a world where the line between love and loss shimmers like morning mist. In You’d Look Better as a Ghost, a heartbroken artist retreats to a seaside town haunted by memories—until an enigmatic presence begins to appear in her sketches and dreams. As she unravels the mystery of this spectral muse, she discovers unexpected paths to healing, creativity, and self-renewal.
   
  Part ghost story, part emotional journey, this audiobook weaves atmospheric narration with evocative soundscapes: the hush of crashing waves, distant church bells, and the soft rustle of wind through coastal pines. Each chapter draws you deeper into the artist’s inner landscape, where grief transforms into inspiration, and solitude becomes the canvas for hope.

  The Fall of the House of Usher

  An unnamed narrator approaches the house of Usher on a “dull, dark, and soundless day.” This house—the estate of his boyhood friend, Roderick Usher—is gloomy and mysterious. The narrator observes that the house seems to have absorbed an evil and diseased atmosphere from the decaying trees and murky ponds around it. He notes that although the house is decaying in places—individual stones are disintegrating, for example—the structure itself is fairly solid. There is only a small crack from the roof to the ground in the front of the building. He has come to the house because his friend Roderick sent him a letter earnestly requesting his company. Roderick wrote that he was feeling physically and emotionally ill, so the narrator is rushing to his assistance. The narrator mentions that the Usher family, though an ancient clan, has never flourished. Only one member of the Usher family has survived from generation to generation, thereby forming a direct line of descent without any outside branches. The Usher family has become so identified with its estate that the peasantry confuses the inhabitants with their home. 
  The narrator decides to read to Roderick in order to pass the night away. He reads “Mad Trist” by Sir Launcelot Canning, a medieval romance. As he reads, he hears noises that correspond to the descriptions in the story. At first, he ignores these sounds as the vagaries of his imagination. Soon, however, they become more distinct and he can no longer ignore them. He also notices that Roderick has slumped over in his chair and is muttering to himself. The narrator approaches Roderick and listens to what he is saying. Roderick reveals that he has been hearing these sounds for days, and believes that they have buried Madeline alive and that she is trying to escape.

  Kay Norris, a successful single woman of thirty-nine, moves into the posh Carnegie Hill district of Manhattan's Upper East Side, into an apartment in a slender high rise, a ""sliver"" building.  
  A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building; a shocking secret is concealed within its brick and concrete. Sliver is a hypnotic story of obsession, suspense, and stunning surprises. It is a novel about ultimate power, and the temptations the use of that power brings.  
  With ice cold precision, Levin, the author of Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives, creates a mesmerizing story that culminates in a scene of electrifying suspense.

  A Short, Shuddery Tale 
  A story that shows how powerful a dream can be. Very chilling, especially if you don't like snakes. A short and sweet nightmare highlighting his fascination with dreams, reincarnation and other spiritualist/occult subjects. Howard's storytelling powers are just as good at capturing the helplessness of a horror victim as they are with narrating the exploits of swashbuckling heroes.

  "An extraordinary novel sure to enchant readers of Sarah Waters as well as those looking for a thrilling and transporting gothic tale." —Julia Fierro, author of The Gypsy Moth Summer
  This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
  
   
  
  The author of The Man Who Noticed Everything, an award-winning collection of short stories, presents his debut work of full-length fiction, "a witty and disturbing horror novel . . . as if Henry James had written an issue of Tales from the Crypt" (Bennett Sims, author of A Questionable Shape).
  
   
  
  Loosely based on the lives of spirit photographer William H. Mumler and his wife, Shadows in Summerland transports readers to 1859 Boston, where those who promise access to the otherworldly—mediums, spiritualists, and psychics—are celebrated. This embrace of illusion and intrigue provides the perfect hunting ground for con artists and charlatans—men like William Mumler.
  
   
  
  When William teams up with Hannah, a shy young girl who sees and manifests the dead, they are welcomed into the drawing rooms of the city's elite. But the couple's newfound fame and fortune draw grifters and rogues into their circle, including someone who will bring the afterlife closer to them than they could ever imagine.
  
   
  
  Spanning three decades, Shadows in Summerland "recalls an era no less gullible than the present one . . . Van Young's prose skillfully illuminates his gothic tale of greed, obsession, and murder" (Publishers Weekly).
  
   
  
  "A fabulous and weird addition to the contemporary fantastic." —Laird Barron, author of Black Mountain
