Sinopse

In "Eris," Robert W. Chambers delves into the realms of myth and psychological tension to weave a tapestry that is as engaging as it is disquieting. The narrative combines elements of symbolism and rich, impressionistic prose, reflecting Chambers' fascination with the occult and the enigmatic nature of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century anxieties, the text harmoniously reflects the shifting literary context, embodying the decadent and modernist movements that question reality and consciousness while drawing on classical mythology to inform contemporary dilemmas. Chambers, an American writer known for pioneering the horror genre, often explored themes of beauty and melancholy. His extensive travels and deep interests in art and mythology significantly influenced his creations. "Eris," in particular, showcases Chambers' engagement with the philosophical complexities of conflict and desire, encapsulated through his personal experiences and observations of a world on the brink of transformation. His unique perspective illuminates the intricate dance between chaos and order, making it a significant text of its time. Readers seeking an exploration of existential themes intertwined with lyrical prose will find "Eris" a compelling and thought-provoking read. Chambers'Äô insight into human nature and the mystical elements he employs create a rich reading experience that resonates with anyone interested in the deeper questions of life and art.

    In My Own True Ghost Story, Rudyard Kipling delivers a hauntingly humorous tale set in the shadowy outposts of British India—where the rational mind meets the inexplicable. When a weary English traveler spends the night in a decrepit dâk-bungalow, the howling wind, flickering candles, and creaking walls seem to come alive. Then comes the unmistakable sound of a billiard game—played in a room far too small to hold a table, and by players who no longer exist. 
    Kipling’s mastery of tone—balancing wit, irony, and eerie suspense—makes this one of his most memorable supernatural stories. A blend of colonial realism and gothic unease, My Own True Ghost Story reminds us that even the most skeptical traveler may find himself haunted when logic and legend collide. 
    Narrated with crisp wit and quiet tension by Michael Lyons, this performance captures both the humor and horror of Kipling’s classic ghost tale.
