Summary

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.

    Step into the brooding expanse of Nightfall on the Moor, an audiobook that carries you into a twilight world where every whisper of wind and rustle in the heather hides a secret. In this haunting journey, you’ll:
    
     
    Traverse windswept moorland as dusk descends, the air thick with swirling mist and the distant cry of unseen creatures.
    
     
    Uncover an age-old legend of a mournful figure said to wander the peat bogs at the edge of night—its silhouette flickering like a dying flame.
    
     
    Follow a solitary traveler driven by dreams of lost love, racing across boggy paths and crumbling stone walls to confront the truth buried beneath the heather.
    
     
    Feel the pulse of tension with every creak of decaying gates, soft drip of dew from gnarled branches, and the crackling of distant firelight beckoning from an abandoned bothy.
    
     
    Piece together fragments of a forgotten diary, half-erased carvings on standing stones, and whispers carried on the wind—each clue drawing you deeper into the moor’s ancient heart.
    
    
     
    Narrated with a low, atmospheric cadence and woven with immersive soundscapes—from the howl of gusting winds to the soft murmur of hidden streams—Nightfall on the Moor envelops you in a world where dusk never truly lifts. Press play…and let the moor claim you under its shrouded sky.

    The new home promises safety, and the quiet neighborhood whispers peace. An innocent family moves into their dream home, unaware they’ve stepped into the hunting ground of something ancient and merciless. Something dark that knows their secrets and waits to destroy them one by one.  
    This is no ordinary haunted house story. This is a psychological, paranormal horror told from the demonic perspective, through the destruction of its human victims. Inside these walls, it has been waiting, not just to terrorize, but to manipulate, corrupt and destroy. All while unmaking everything you believe is safe. Through the Eyes of Evil is a terrifying supernatural thriller that breaks every rule of traditional storytelling. Instead of hearing from the victim, this story drags you into the mind of the predator itself. If you think you know how haunting stories go, prepare to be proven wrong.  
    If you’re searching for psychological thrillers with paranormal twists, haunted house horror, cerebral supernatural suspense, this book delivers. Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, The Exorcist, and The Amityville Horror.   
    For readers who crave fear that lingers, this is horror at its most unforgettable.
