Synopsis

The ghost of the young woman in Elizabethan dress first appeared to me in the library of the big house that so recently had belonged to my parents. At first I thought it was my mother come back to the home she and my father had made for each other and where they lived happily for so many years. But there could be no reason for the ghost of my mother to wear a period costume. It might have been more appropriate for her to wear the short skirt and bobbed hair of the 1920’s when she was, though no flapper, a liberated lady of her era.

    "The Terrible Old Man" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written on January 28, 1920, and first published in the Tryout, an amateur press publication, in July 1921. It's notable as the first story to make use of Lovecraft's imaginary New England setting, introducing the fictional town of Kingsport. The Terrible Old Man is a strange elderly man "so old that no one can remember when he was young, and so taciturn that few know his real name". He lives alone in an ancient house on Water Street in the town of Kingsport. The Terrible Old Man reappears in the story "The Strange High House in the Mist" in a more benevolent role.

    There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. 
    It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote. But thanks to a team of scientists George Washington has been brought from the past to regain the presidency. Written by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg, A Third Term tells the story of how hard Candidate Washington has to fight to win in these corrupt times. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, the Father of Our Country requires considerable rehabilitation to challenge the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” Fortunately a wily campaign manager and a sexy personal trainer are there by his side.

    THE ENCHANTED GROVE OF LUMINA 
    Book 3 of 6 The Veil of Eternis – Titania & Oberon restore Balance. 
    Following on from Book 2– The Shadow of Noctis this story is summarized as follows: 
    In the mystical grove of Lumina, guardian Lyra discovers the Veil—a barrier between life and death—is breaking, threatening both realms. Guided by Eldrin, an ancient tree spirit, and Kael, a former Veil guardian, Lyra learns the Veil’s fragility stems from a betrayer’s past attempt to control eternity. Venturing into the surreal realm of Eternis, Lyra confronts the betrayer’s spirit, who reveals a primordial entity of chaos exploiting the Veil’s weakness. With the help of fairy rulers Titania and Oberon, Lyra combines the Essences of Lumina and Eternis to restore the Veil, though it creates a new, fluid balance between life and death. The betrayer’s spirit finds peace, and Lyra, Finn, and Kael become guardians of the renewed grove. A starlit sapling grows, symbolizing hope and unity, as Titania and Oberon’s laughter echoes, celebrating the harmony of light and darkness. 
    This is the third of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, harp, violin, glockenspiel in a classical but uplifting form. The closing music ends the tale on a more restrained note and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments but more dreamy and ethereal effect. 
    The story itself runs to about 15 minutes is is narrated in my own voice. 
    I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook.
