A child's memory, a shadowed path, a glimpse of something that should not be. In A Vignette, M. R. James offers a final brushstroke of quiet terror—intimate, elusive, and disquietingly real. This short, unsettling piece lingers like a half-remembered dream, evoking the moment when the everyday slips into the uncanny. With masterful restraint and emotional undercurrent, James reminds us that the most chilling hauntings are those born in the mind—and never truly forgotten.Mostra libro

Title: The Shadow Over Innsmouth Author: H. P. Lovecraft Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1936 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Part 2 of Number 56 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: The Shadow Over Innsmouth is Lovecraft’s classic tale of a decaying seaside town bound to an ancient horror from the deep. The story follows a traveler who visits the isolated port of Innsmouth, only to discover its inhabitants bear unsettling, amphibious traits — bulging eyes, flabby lips, and a strange, slinking gait. Through whispered rumors and a terrifying night on the run, he uncovers the truth: generations ago, the townsfolk struck a pact with the Deep Ones, an ancient ocean-dwelling race that offers wealth and longevity at a terrible cost. As the narrator flees through collapsing streets and foggy wharves, pursued by inhuman figures emerging from the sea, he confronts a revelation far more disturbing than the town itself — one that ties his own fate to Innsmouth’s monstrous legacy. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this public-domain classic is revived in a fresh, chilling performance. The Shadow Over Innsmouth remains a cornerstone of maritime horror and one of Lovecraft’s most enduring nightmares.Mostra libro
Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume stories from the Masters of Horror take centre stage. Within the words from the pens of Edgar Allan Poe, E T A Hoffman, H G Wells, Guy de Maupassant and others lurk dark intentions of evil. As each story draws you in, so it is that uneasy, unsettling feelings begin to creep into our heads. It’s only a matter of time before things go decidedly from bad to much, much worse. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - Horror - The Men - An Introduction 2 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 3 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe 4 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 1 by H G Wells 5 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 2 by H G Wells 6 - Le Horla by Guy De Maupassant 7 - Olalla - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson 8 - Olalla - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson 9 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft 10 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft 11 - The Sand-Man - Part 1 by E T A Hoffman 12 - The Sand-Man - Part 2 by E T A Hoffman 13 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs 14 - For the Blood is the Life by F Marion Crawford 15 - The Novel of the White Powder by Arthur Machen 16 - The Repairer of Reputations - Part 1 by Robert W Chambers 17 - The Repairer of Reputations - Part 2 by Robert W ChambersMostra libro
STRINGS is an action-packed, existential sci-fi horror that challenges the very mythos of the cosmos. Beyond space and time, beyond the gods of reality, something was consuming it all. Daniel was lost; torn from his own reality and trapped in a violent universe of old gods, enigmas, and decay. The corporeality around him no longer followed the logic of time or physics, and the threat to his life was becoming more real with each breath. A mysterious condition, known only as The Syndrome, threatens the existence of four remaining deities. As his sanity unravels and dissolves like the rotting flesh of the nightmarish beast that hunted him, Daniel must fight to understand the truth of his significance to these gods. Only then may he find a way out of these convolutions of reality, before his own mind succumbs to madness.Mostra libro
