Sinopse

The author of this book, May Sinclair, was an innovator of modern fiction. She lived in the late Victorian era, and her stories were quite untypical of the time. She is considered a precursor to Virginia Woolf. The specific trait of the Uncanny Stories (1923) by Sinclair is a combination of the traditional ghost story with the discoveries of Freud and Einstein. The stories shock, enthrall, delight, and unsettle.

    Irvin S. Cobb’s Darkness is a gripping and eerie tale that explores fear, isolation, and the unsettling power of the unknown. Set in an environment where shadows seem to move and silence holds an eerie weight, the story follows a protagonist confronted with inexplicable horrors lurking just beyond the light. As tension builds and paranoia takes hold, Darkness weaves a masterful narrative that plays on psychological terror and atmospheric suspense. 
    Narrated by Roger Arnold, this audiobook brings Cobb’s chilling prose to life, immersing listeners in a world where every creak, whisper, and flicker of light could mean impending doom. Blending classic horror elements with psychological dread, Darkness stands as a timeless short story in early American horror literature, delivering a haunting experience that lingers long after the final words. 
    Originally published in the early 20th century, Irvin S. Cobb’s foray into dark fiction showcases his remarkable ability to create tension, proving why his works remain a fascinating part of literary history.

    The basis for Hitchcock's 1927 movie by the same name, as well as a more recent major motion picture from 2009, this award-winning audio of Marie Belloc Lowndes' classic thriller still packs a wallop. 
    An elderly couple living in Victorian London struggle against despair as their small resources dwindle. When an eccentric and mysterious gentleman answers their advertisement for a lodger, they celebrate. But as women begin dying at the hands of “The Avenger” on the foggy streets of London, they start to suspect something too horrific for words. Could the timing just be mere coincidence? 
    While neither mentions their suspicions to the other, they each suffer horribly from dread when their beautiful young niece comes to stay with them and is terribly curious about their new lodger.
