  Howard Philips Lovecraft was an American writer world-famous for his horror fiction works. He was interested in influence of things of non-human nature on human beings. In his stories the reality that we know is merely a thin insecure cover, and what is hidden below may definitely drive you insane. This is a story of three robbers planning to obtain the treasure of a weird and lonely old but rich man. What remains unknown to them is that the man inspires the whole town with awe. And it’s not his oddly set and colored stones in the yard and talking to glass bottles, what something invisible but perceptible behind this. The three friends hatch out a plan and begin to fulfill it. The story lets its readers dive into the atmosphere of a classic Lovecraftian horror and gives them creeps.A SmartTouch Media production.

  Sketches by Boz Volume 2

  The ‘sketches’ in this volume are more the substance and length of short stories illustrating the development of the tools of the Masters trade: farce, parody, irony, black humour and wonderful one liners which unerringly hit the mark. The ensuing narrative, however, brings the listener bumpily back to earth with a reminder of the mean and often tragic lives that were being endured in the busy, uncaring  metropolis. The stories are in the following order and entitled: The Dancing Academy, Shabby Genteel People,The Prisoners Van, The Boarding House, Mr Minns and his Cousin, Sentiment, The Tuggses’ at Ramsgate, Horatio Sparkins, The Black Veil, The Steam Excursion, The Great Winglebury Duel, Mrs Joseph Porter, A Passage in the life of Mr Watkins Tottle, The Bloomsbury Christening, The Drunkards Death. National Press Reviewers had this to say of the first volume of ‘Sketches by Boz’. ‘I couldn’t wish for a better reader. It’s been one of the highlights of my listening’. The Publishing News. ‘A brilliant reading in tune with Dickens’ own vibrancy and humanity’ The Observer. ‘This is social history with a soul’. The Guardian.

  Northanger Abbey

  Jane Austen

  Jane Austen's first novel—published posthumously in 1818—tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.
