Summary

Ashleigh and her little family of misfits are on the run, searching for a new home where they can rest and finally get clean. The police hot on their heels, they flee to the abandoned asylum at the top of the mountain, thinking it’s the perfect starting point for their long road to recovery. They’re ready for this. They long for their new life. The asylum is in disrepair with no running water or electricity. It does provide shelter, but maybe they are not alone in seeking it. If only they’d considered that the darkness they had run to might be even more shadowed than the one they were running from.

    One hot summer night, best friends Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline hold a séance. It's all fun and games at first, but their tipsy laughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through their prayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends and chanting in Nahuatl, the language of their Aztec ancestors. 
     
     
     
    Over the next few weeks, shy, modest Fernanda starts acting strangely—smearing herself in black makeup, shredding her hands on rose thorns, sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest is convinced it's a demon, but Lourdes begins to suspect it's something else—something far more ancient and powerful. 
     
     
     
    As Father Moreno's obsession with Fernanda grows, Lourdes enlists the help of her "bruja Craft crew" and a professor, Dr. Camacho, to understand what is happening to her friend in this unholy tale of possession-gone-right.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz.
     
    In “The Green Meadow,” an isolated narrator awakens in a strange, alien landscape between a sinister green forest and a distant, luminous meadow across blue water, with only fragments of memory and an overwhelming sense of cosmic dread. As the piece of land beneath him breaks away and drifts across the sea, he senses that the forest harbors hostile, sentient forces, while the radiant meadow exerts a terrible fascination and eerie promise of safety. Drawn toward it by an unseen current and the sound of an immense waterfall, he hears chanting from within the meadow and gradually realizes that both the place and his own condition are part of a horrifying transformation beyond ordinary life and death. At the moment he finally understands the nature of the beings in the meadow and the fate awaiting him, the revelation becomes too dreadful to describe, and the surviving text breaks off as he faces an eternal, inescapable existence.

    The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling psychological horror tale told through the confession of a condemned man on the eve of his execution. Insisting upon his sanity, the narrator recounts how a once gentle and compassionate life gradually unraveled under the grip of alcoholism, paranoia, and moral decay. What begins as a peaceful household shared with his devoted wife and beloved pets, most notably a black cat named Pluto, slowly descends into a haunting narrative of guilt, obsession, and self-destruction. 
    As the narrator’s temperament darkens, his actions become increasingly erratic, and his relationship with the mysterious black cat takes on a sinister tone. When a second cat appears under strange circumstances, the line between superstition and psychological torment begins to blur. Is the animal a supernatural omen, or a manifestation of a guilty conscience? Poe masterfully leaves the answer uncertain, allowing tension to build through atmosphere and inner turmoil rather than overt spectacle. 
    Exploring themes of addiction, conscience, and the fragility of the human mind, The Black Cat remains one of Poe’s most powerful studies of psychological collapse. This audiobook brings to life the mounting dread, unreliable narration, and Gothic intensity that have made the story a lasting classic of dark literature.
