  A Dickens Christmas - The...

  Charles Dickens created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. After the success of A Christmas Carol in 1843 Dickens continued the series throughout the 1840s, maintaining what he called "the Carol philosophy" to "strike a sledgehammer blow" for the poor, uneducated, and repressed. In typical fashion he drove his message home with a mixture of humor and good cheer. Although subsequent Christmas books sold well at the time of their initial release, they have not enjoyed the staying power of A Christmas Carol. The Christmas books, particularly The Chimes, the Cricket, and the Carol, were the centerpiece of Dickens' public reading tours in the 1850s and 60s with A Christmas Carol far and away the most popular with audiences. Dickens discontinued the Christmas books after The Haunted Man, devoting his time to the publication of weekly magazines, Household Words (1850-1858) and All the Year Round (1859-1867), in which he included annual Christmas stories. Henceforth Dickens was forever linked with the celebration of Christmas. We present them here as a special Icon classic five audiobook collection.

  A violent accident leaves Thomas Dunbar in the care of a peculiar, brilliant, and oddly evasive scientist named Lawrence. As Dunbar recovers, he becomes entangled in the strange hum of unseen machines, secret experiments, and a life-or-death emergency that reveals he now possesses a strength no ordinary man should have. Something happened in that laboratory—something Lawrence never intended. And Dunbar soon realizes that the truth behind his new abilities may be far more dangerous than the accident that brought him there. 
  Francis Stevens, writing here under the name G. M. Barrows, was one of the most influential early voices in American speculative fiction. Often called “the woman who invented dark fantasy,” she shaped the genre long before it had a name, blending scientific imagination with eerie atmospheres and psychological tension. Her work appeared in the top magazines of the era, where readers were captivated by her originality, her bold ideas, and her ability to blend science, mystery, and the uncanny into something wholly new. The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar showcases her talent for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary—and the extraordinary into something unforgettable.
