The Garden of Before

Ryan Leslie

Sinopse

"That's what happens here, Paul. Every power has its price. It always gets worse."
For Paul Prentice things have gotten much worse. His house was destroyed in the battle with the Koŝmaro. He's on thin ice at his job, where instead of working he loses himself in the Between's computer game, trying in vain to find explanations. His best friend Jay has transformed into a shadowy killer. Corinne and Supriya have vanished. And it appears his wife, Julie, has finally had enough and left him.
Alone and near ruin, Paul receives a familiar visitor with a dire message: they are all back in the Between. Hunted, captured, doomed. For Paul, still wearing the serĉilo's artifact on his wrist, escape was never an option. The game must be played until the end.
In the harrowing conclusion to The Between, Leslie once again invites readers into a mind-twisting world where the most terrifying monsters are the ones let loose inside of us.

The Third Drug - A dark tale of...

Edith Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was born on the 15th August 1858 in Kennington, then part of Surrey.   
Due to the health issues and tuberculosis of her sister Mary, Nesbit’s early life was one of constant changes of house both in England and on the continent. 
At age 17, Nesbit met Hubert Bland and they married three years later―whilst she was 7 months pregnant.  Bland also kept his affair with another woman going throughout their marriage and the two children of that relationship were raised by Nesbit as well as her own three with Bland. 
Together they were founder members of the Fabian Society in 1884 naming their son Fabian in its honour.  They also edited the Society's journal; ‘Today’.  Nesbit was an active lecturer and prolific writer on socialism during those years but gradually her work for them dwindled as her career as a children’s writer grew.  Her most famous success was ‘The Railway Children’ but she was also very prolific and greatly accomplished in poetry, short stories―especially her macabre ghost and supernatural stories―and novels for adults.  
In February 1917, some three years after the death of Bland she married Thomas ‘the Skipper’ Tucker in Woolwich, where he was a ship's engineer on the Woolwich Ferry. 
Edith Nesbit died from lung cancer on the 4th May 1924 at her house ‘The Long Boat’ at Jesson, St Mary's Bay, New Romney in Kent.  She was 65.

Pet Cemetery Road - Where the...

Ibnul Jaif Farabi

Ibnul Jaif Farabi thought he was buying a fresh start: a secluded property on a quiet country road, a place to heal after a devastating personal loss. The realtor failed to mention the small, overgrown pet cemetery tucked into the woods behind the house, or the peculiar clause in the deed requiring him to maintain it. He just wanted peace, but the soft, insistent scratching that begins beneath his bedroom floor the first night suggests the previous occupants have other plans.
 

 
As the nocturnal disturbances escalate from sounds to tangible signs—freshly turned earth on old graves, small bones arranged on his porch—Ibnul’s grip on reality begins to fray. His new neighbor, a charismatic veterinarian who runs the local animal shelter, offers comfort and assistance, but her knowledge of the property’s grim history seems too intimate. The community’s sympathetic smiles mask a collective secret, and Ibnul starts to suspect the cemetery isn’t just for pets, and the scratching isn’t a plea to be let in, but a warning to get out.
 

 
Haunted by visions of decaying creatures and whispered names he doesn’t recognize, Ibnul must dig into the town’s past. He will uncover a legacy of guilt buried deep beneath the innocent markers, where the line between grief and madness blurs. To survive, he must learn what truly lies in the dark soil of Pet Cemetery Road, and what price the land demands to finally stay silent.

While Drake does definitely drive me crazy with his pretentious airs, his womanizing ways and his jealousy, the idea of coming home to an empty house leaves me feeling . . . well, empty. Yes, it's true—I'm pretty fond of my ghostly Casanova. 
 
 
 
Meanwhile, whatever this entity is, it's getting stronger and more aggressive. It appears to be mimicking the attacks of the Axeman, a murderer who terrorized New Orleans over one hundred years earlier. 
 
 
 
And there's only so much Ryan can do to help me, considering he's corporeal. 
 
 
 
When forced to make a decision to protect Drake, I'll face a consequence that could put my blossoming relationship with Ryan on hold . . . forever.

In this harrowing anthology, listeners will explore five meticulously crafted descents into madness, betrayal, and unearthly dread.

Discover what dark entities lurk in the unexplored subterranean void of Blue John Gap, or how jealousy breeds unimaginable psychological cruelty in The Case of Lady Sannox. The stakes are nothing less than absolute sanity or survival.

Blending classic suspense, chilling atmospheric dread, and masterclass pacing, this iconic piece of Horror and Mystery seamlessly crosses from medical thrillers to dark fantasy.

Lord Dunsany

Title: The Guest 
Author: Lord Dunsany 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1912 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series: Timeless Terrors 
Number: 100 
Description: 
The Guest is an ethereal and unsettling tale of hospitality, supernatural visitation, and the fragile boundaries between the ordinary and the uncanny. The story follows a weary traveler who arrives at a remote manor seeking refuge, only to find himself welcomed by a host whose civility conceals an eerie otherworldliness. As night falls, subtle signs suggest that the guest may be part of a world far older and stranger than he realizes, where manners mask mysteries and appearances deceive. 
Dunsany’s prose combines lyrical beauty with a creeping sense of disquiet, crafting a story where suspense is built not on overt horror but on suggestion, ambiguity, and the unexpected intrusion of the fantastical into everyday life. The narrative evokes both wonder and unease, exploring themes of destiny, the unknown, and the delicate dance between courtesy and terror. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Dunsany’s haunting imagery and atmospheric tension to life, immersing listeners in a twilight world where one guest may change everything, and the line between reality and dream is perilously thin. The Guest endures as a masterwork of subtle fantasy and psychological suspense, where the most unsettling moments are those left unspoken.

originally written as separate poems for contests on allpoetry.com I tacked them together to make this epic the story in verse of the Life and death of Vivienne and the Reaper, Incidentally, the first part is told by the unnamed Jack Taylor who has a bigger part in the later version of Vivienne and the Reaper and appears in my Magicians series as the annoying orderly.
