Ms Found in a Bottle

Edgar Allan Poe

“MS. Found in a Bottle” by Edgar Allan Poe is a haunting tale of maritime terror, mystery, and the unknown. First published in 1833, this classic short story follows a doomed narrator who survives a violent storm only to find himself aboard a ghostly ship crewed by silent, ancient sailors. As the vessel drifts deeper into a strange and otherworldly sea, the narrator records his final observations in a manuscript cast into the ocean. Combining gothic atmosphere, psychological tension, and eerie supernatural elements, Poe’s chilling story remains one of the earliest masterpieces of speculative horror and dark adventure literature. Perfect for readers who enjoy classic gothic fiction, nautical mysteries, and the unsettling imagination of one of America’s greatest literary pioneers.

Before the Slipper: The Prince -...

Freya Collins

Before the Slipper
Book One of the Ever After, Unbound Series
By Freya Collins
Ella was never waiting to be rescued.
Long before the glass slipper became legend, she was the daughter of a royal advisor—a woman raised to understand power, law, and the quiet machinery of kingdoms. But after her father’s death, Ella finds herself trapped in a household balanced on appearances, burdened by debts the crown ignored and a future shrinking by the day.
Then the king announces a three-night ball to choose his queen.
Edmund remembers the girl who once challenged magistrates at ten years old and saw people where others saw spectacle. Ella remembers the boy who listened. When they meet again beneath the chandeliers of the palace they both once called home, what begins is not a fairy tale rescue, but a reckoning.
As hidden petitions surface and old loyalties are tested, Ella and Edmund must decide whether love can survive inside the systems that failed them—or whether they are strong enough to remake those systems together.
Elegant, emotionally rich, and deeply human, Before the Slipper reimagines Cinderella as a story about recognition, partnership, and the quiet courage of people who keep their promises.
Perfect for listeners who love:literary fairy tale retellingsslow-burn romanceemotionally intelligent characterspolitical and court intriguegrounded fantasy with mature emotional depth

From Savagery

Alejandra Banca

Electric, defiant, and singing with melancholia, Alejandra Banca's devastating debut throws its arms around a displaced generation of young Venezuelan migrants, reveling in the clamor and beauty of their day-by-day survival. 
 
 
 
Below the rooftops of Barcelona's historic avenues, in the shadow of the Sagrada Família and its fleet of construction cranes, thrums a vital pulse: meal-delivery bikers, sex workers, strung out artists, anti-capitalist squatters, undocumented shopgirls, fledgling drug dealers, and a thousand more lives that cross and knit together at the lowest level of Spain's urban tumult. The young expats of these stories careen through crowded streets, night clubs, and dating apps with a devil-may-care abandon that belies their precarious circumstances. Tragedy will erupt and then ebb in an instant, receding in the rearview like a roadside collision and haunting those that push on. Running on fumes and paltry tips, Banca's beleaguered characters race along a knife's edge and find unexpected solace in moments of shared vulnerability; a knowing thread that unites these strangers in a strange land. 
 
 
 
In this English PEN Award-winning translation by Katie Brown, From Savagery announces Alejandra Banca as a resplendent and masterful new voice in Latin American literature—one that will take listeners by storm.

The Final Inoculation - Surreal...

C.M. Kosemen

'An astonishing merging of scientific acumen and imagination…' Adrian Tchaikovsky, praise for All Tomorrows 
The Final Inoculation gathers together surreal short fiction and original artwork inspired by the myths, creatures and landscapes of the Mediterranean world.
Across these strange and dreamlike tales, giant spiders haunt ancient islands, prophetic creatures roam mountain ranges, and forgotten civilisations linger beneath the surface of everyday life. Blending speculative fiction, folklore and biological surrealism, C. M. Kosemen creates bizarre worlds that feel both ancient and eerily possible.
Written over the past decade and presented alongside Kosemen's vivid paintings and illustrations, these stories emerge from the same imaginative universe that made All Tomorrows an international cult phenomenon. Part weird fiction, part illustrated art book, The Final Inoculation is a striking exploration of dreams, mythology and the hidden strangeness of the natural world.
