    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Six months after surviving the Nocturne case, Elena Méndez thought the horror was behind her. Then comes the letter, sealed in black wax, naming her the sole heir to Blackwood Manor — a forgotten estate in Hollow Creek where memories linger like rot and the past whispers through the walls. 
    What begins as a legal formality quickly unravels into a nightmare. Lamps burn with thick, red oil. A well in the garden sings with voices that are not human. Diaries, letters, and forgotten rituals reveal a family legacy soaked in blood: every generation of the Blackwood line must feed “The Guest,” an ancient entity bound by a pact — in exchange for prosperity, power… and silence. 
    As Elena descends into the house’s secrets, she uncovers the truth of her lineage, the madness of her ancestors, and the price of surviving what lives beneath the floorboards. Told through atmospheric chapters and interludes drawn from 19th-century journals, medical reports, and recorded confessions, Never Turn Off the Light is a slow-burning gothic horror novel that blends psychological dread with occult mythology. 
    Fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Mexican Gothic, and The Silent Companions will find themselves right at home — if “home” is a place with blood-soaked walls and a mirror that smiles before you do. 
    The Blackwood house doesn’t want to be inhabited. It wants to be fed.

    Jules Verne (1828-1905) was the first author to popularize the literary genre of science fiction. Written in 1898 and part of the author's famous series Voyages Extraordinaires, The Mighty Orinoco tells the story of a young man's search for his father along the then-uncharted Orinoco River of Venezuela. The text contains all the ingredients of a classic Verne scientific-adventure tale: exploration and discovery, humor and drama, dastardly villains and intrepid heroes, and a host of near-fatal encounters with crocodiles, jungle fever, Indians and outlaws — all set in a wonderfully exotic locale. The Mighty Orinoco also includes a unique twist that will appeal to feminists — readers will need to discover it for themselves. This Wesleyan edition features notes, and a critical introduction by renowned Verne scholar Walter James Miller.CONTRIBUTORS: Walter James Miller, Stanford Luce, Arthur B. Evans.
