  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. 
   
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
   
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  Ascend the creaking stairs of an old manor, each step stirring echoes of long-buried tragedies and whispered regrets.
  
   
  Meet the tormented voices trapped in the attic’s shadows—lost children’s giggles that curdle into sobs, soft lullabies warped by grief.
  
   
  Piece together fragmented memories hidden in faded journals, torn photographs, and the faint scent of forgotten lavender.
  
   
  Feel the attic’s floorboards shift beneath you as unseen hands guide you toward a truth more chilling than the cold night air.
  
  
   
  Narrated with a tense, spectral cadence and woven with subtle sound design—from distant scratching in the walls to sudden, breath-stealing silences—Specters in the Attic invites you to confront the spirits that refuse to rest. Press play…and dare to listen when the boards creak above you.

  From the internationally bestselling author of The Porcelain Moon comes a haunting Gothic novel set in 1911 China. Two young women living in a crumbling, once-grand Shanghai mansion face danger as secrets of their pasts come to light, even as the mansion’s own secret threatens the present. 
  Shanghai, 1911. Lisan Liu is elated when she is hired as secretary to wealthy American Caroline Stanton, the new mistress of Lennox Manor on the outskirts of Shanghai’s International Settlement. However, the Manor has a dark past due to a previous owner’s suicide, and soon Lisan’s childhood nightmares resurface with more intensity and meld with haunted visions of a woman in red. Adding to her unease is the young gardener, Yao, who both entices and disturbs her. 
  Newly married Caroline looks forward to life in China with her husband, Thomas, away from the shadows of another earlier tragedy. But an unwelcome guest, Andrew Grey, attends her party and claims to know secrets she can’t afford to have exposed. At the same party, the notorious princess Masako Kyo approaches Lisan with questions about the young woman’s family that the orphaned Lisan can’t answer. 
  As Caroline struggles with Grey’s extortion and Thomas’s mysterious illness, Lisan’s future is upended when she learns the truth about her past, and why her identity has been hidden all these years. All the while, strange incidents accelerate, driving Lisan to doubt her sanity as Lennox Manor seems unwilling to release her until she fulfills demands from beyond the grave.

  My Darling Dreadful Thing takes listeners on a haunting journey into the heart of a family’s dark legacy. Sophie, a young woman who has inherited an old, mysterious mansion, finds herself caught between the echoes of the past and her own burgeoning understanding of her family’s deeply troubled history. As she explores the mansion, she uncovers unsettling secrets—whispers of magic, tragedy, and the struggle for control over forces far beyond her understanding. 
  The mansion, its creaking walls and shadowy corridors, becomes a character of its own, holding both the beauty of memories and the weight of unresolved trauma. Sophie’s discovery of The Book of Witching, an ancient family heirloom, unleashes powerful forces, revealing the intricate connections between her ancestors and the dark magic that binds them. 
  As Sophie delves deeper into the mysteries of the house and her lineage, she confronts the terrifying reality that her fate is inextricably linked to the spirits of the past. With suspense and supernatural forces at play, Sophie must confront not only the haunting presence within the mansion but the darkness that resides within herself. 
  Gripping, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, My Darling Dreadful Thing is a compelling tale of family, magic, and the price of knowledge. This audiobook will keep listeners on the edge of their seats, as Sophie uncovers the truth that may either set her free or claim her soul.

  Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

  Are the ghosts real, or is the governess descending into madness? The terror lies in the uncertainty.
  
  Step into the chilling atmosphere of Bly, a secluded country estate where a young, earnest governess is charged with caring for two unnervingly beautiful, orphaned children. But their innocence is shadowed by the presence of two malevolent figures: the ghosts of a former valet and a deceased governess. Henry James masterfully crafts a ghost story that is also a profound work of psychological horror. Feel the mounting suspense and claustrophobia as the governess fights to protect her charges from the unseen evil, all while her own sanity hangs in the balance. This novella is the ultimate literary maze, famous for its ambiguity—a classic that has launched a thousand academic and critical debates.
  
  A foundational text in Gothic literature and a chilling examination of perception, repressed desire, and the corruption of innocence, The Turn of the Screw is literary horror at its finest.
  
  You must decide what is real. Click "Buy Now" and confront the unforgettable terror of this timeless masterpiece.
