  The timeless story of the beatific Dorian Gray, who never seems to age, and whose features never show the stains of life, no matter how debauched his existence becomes. What is is his secret? And what is the secret of a certain portrait that he keeps forever hidden, behind a curtain, in a locked room of his house, to which he has the only key? The only novel ever completed by Oscar Wilde, the Portrait of Dorian Gray was released in 1890 to rapturous outrage and censure, and has sold well (where permitted) ever since. 
  Narrated by Michael Ward.

  The Demon of the Grimsel Pass

  High in the Swiss Alps, beneath the pressure of the Rhône and Aletsch glaciers, something older than religion and colder than death has been held in silence for millennia. When a climate research team drills too deep into the ice at Grimsel Pass, they do not uncover a relic or a beast. They puncture a linguistic prison. Deep below the station lies a sealed chamber ringed by the preserved dead, and beneath waits the Namenfresser, the Name-Eater, an ancient logic that does not simply kill. It edits. It strips away the fences of identity and replaces the human world with an older, harsher draft. 
  At the center stands Dr. Eva Haldimann, a linguist brought to the pass to interpret whatever the drill might expose. What begins as a scientific anomaly becomes a metaphysical breach. The chief driller returns barefoot from the glacier speaking impossible words. Audio files begin behaving like executable code. Dead syntax infects speech, memory, and machine systems. Maps redraw themselves. Paths change. Men walk into terrain that no longer matches the world they thought they knew. As Eva pushes deeper into the old grammar beneath the mountain, she realizes the true horror of the pass: the entity below does not conquer by force alone. It recruits through interpretation, rewarding the exact kind of mind trained to admire pattern and precision. 
  What follows is alpine cosmic horror fused with philological terror, buried history, and catastrophic recursion. The Demon of the Grimsel Pass is a novel about language as contagion, memory as a defensive wall, and the nightmare of discovering that reality itself can be revised by something older than the human need for names. By the final movement, the struggle narrows to a sealed chamber beneath the glacier, where Beat Gasser and Eva confront the surviving logic of the breach and learn that containment will demand more than survival. It will demand sacrifice at the level of identity itself.

  MORI - The Lost Ones Volume 1

  In this hallucinatory, emotionally charged work of weird fiction, a self-destructive man who came to Los Angeles to disappear is drawn into a search for missing people—by a voice only he can hear. 
  The journal Miles "Mori" Morhart left behind in a Los Angeles hotel room appears at first to be the wry, world-weary record of a man who walked away from his family because he believes they're better off without him, content to end his drunken days alone in the astrologic haze of Hollywood. 
  But the journal soon becomes something far stranger. A voice calls out to Mori from "across the Cosmic Gulf"—a man on the other side, searching for the wife and daughter he has lost. And Mori, who knows better than to answer disembodied voices, answers anyway. 
  The search pulls Mori out of his isolation, toward the woman next door he can't stop thinking about and her small circle of friends, whose lives have also been shadowed by missing loved ones. Together, they're drawn into a dark and strange Los Angeles: psychedelic visions, occult rituals, true-crime dead ends, and urban legends that don't stay legends. 
  The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that the disappearances are connected, and the closer they get to the truth, the more it threatens to pull them under too. 
  This is weird fiction with a broken heart: darkly humorous, genre-blurring, and quietly devastating. A story about whether grace can still reach someone who has stopped believing they deserve it. 
  For readers who love:Haruki Murakami and Mark Z. DanielewskiMind-bending, reality-warping storiesWeird, occult, true-crime Los AngelesThemes of addiction, regret, and redemptionDark humor wrapped around genuine heartbreak

  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 Vernon Lee, Edith Wharton, Margaret Oliphant, Mary Butts 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.
