Sinopsis

A mysterious 1940s’ portrait leads researcher Phineas Fox to uncover a devastating wartime secret in this chilling novel of suspense.

Phineas Fox finds it impossible to refuse when his sport-loving neighbour Toby begs for his help in finding out what’s happened to his cousin Arabella, who seems to have disappeared without trace. The only clue to her whereabouts is an obscure 1940s’ portrait left in her flat, a gift from her godfather, Stefan. The painting depicts the mysterious Christa Klein, Stefan’s sister - and an alleged murderess. 

Was Christa Klein really guilty of a monstrous crime? What exactly happened within brooding Wewelsburg Castle back in 1941? And what does it have to do with Arabella’s disappearance? As Phin delves further, he uncovers evidence of a lost piece of music and a devastating wartime secret: an atrocity whose repercussions reach to the present day.

    Settle in for an unsettling listen with this duo of two horror classics: Dracula by Bram Stoker and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. These two books are staples of the Gothic horror genre and are sure to excite, mystify, and maybe even spook listeners.Dracula -  While there have been many famous vampires in modern media, none are as well-known as Dracula, the modern introduction to the blood-drinking creatures of the night. In this epistolary horror novel, readers are introduced to Count Dracula as he attempts to move to England to find new prey and create new vampires. He is thwarted by Abraham Van Helsing, a doctor who sees Dracula’s victims and gathers hunters to fight against the growing team of vampires. With thematic elements of suspense and Gothic horror, and broad themes of colonialism, religion, sexuality, and the thin line between life and death, Dracula is a story for the ages.Frankenstein – Frankenstein is the classic story of a mad scientist’s experiments gone horribly wrong. When Victor Frankenstein decides to experiment with creating life from non-living matter, he inadvertently creates a creature that will reflect both the best and worst parts of humanity. Created from a hodge-podge of human remains, the Creature’s appearance is ghastly and horrific, and his lack of a soul makes him predisposed to violence and destruction. But he gains intelligence and reasoning skills, which he uses to demand better treatment from Victor, with threats of violence as his bargaining chip. Victor’s reluctance to help his creation live a fulfilled life leads to a horrific streak of murders and violence. Frankenstein is an important work that asks readers to consider human nature, ethical responsibility, and the intrinsic value of all life forms.

    "There you are Doctor, we were looking everywhere for you. We have another job for you," an orderly said. 
    "For heaven's sake don't beat around the bush!" Grumbled the Doctor. 
    "Another freshy for you!" said the orderly. 
    "Please refrain from referring to them as freshies call them a dead person!" hissed the doctor. 
    "Ok another dead person!" said the orderly. 
    "Take me to them," the doctor demanded. 
    "Doctor Death has come to do his job," announced the orderly to the nervous nurse inside the room with the body. 
    "I'm a coroner, not Doctor Death," said the Doctor entering the room. 
    "So sorry!" a reaper said walking out of the room. The doctor ran to the bedside of the dead person. 
    "Oh my god no," the doctor said weeping tears of blue electric fire which crystalized betraying his inhumanity to his colleagues. 
    "Blue Midnight is Doctor Death!" cried the orderly. 
    "Really, Sherlock how didn't you know!" said Blake crying, 
    "I was called here by my son because my wife was critical!" 
    "I just told him about his wife's death! Hey! That's your job telling people their relatives are dead!" the orderly moaned. 
    "I'll do you the same favor one day!" snarled Blake. 
    A man in a mask and a tux stood by a grave of his friend's dead wife. 
    "Angela Alexander you will live again!" The man said, "You will reincarnate in the past!" 
    "Argent. What are you doing lurking in the graveyard!" Angela's grieving widower snapped finding it an odd place to find fate. 
    "Oh hi, Mortimer what bring the king of the grim reapers here?" Argent said. 
    "My wife is buried here It gives me a right and reason to be here," said 
    the reaper Mortimer.
