  Staffordshire, 1745: the Young Pretender's army is marching south, and a yeoman farmer's son with a good sword arm finds himself carrying dispatches he cannot read for a cause he has not chosen. Gough published it in 1917, when England was again counting its sons, and wrote the Forty-Five as an ordinary man's war rather than a romance of tartan.

  Step into the shadows with The Red Room by H. G. Wells—a chilling tale that proves fear does not need a face to be real. 
  In this haunting short story, a confident skeptic sets out to spend the night in a notoriously haunted chamber within an ancient castle. Armed with reason and a refusal to believe in the supernatural, he is certain that no ghost could ever shake his resolve. But as the darkness deepens and the silence grows heavier, something far more unsettling begins to stir—not in the room itself, but within the fragile corners of the human mind. 
  This immersive audiobook brings Wells’ psychological horror to life, drawing you into a suffocating atmosphere where flickering candlelight, creeping shadows, and the unseen presence of dread become impossible to ignore. With every passing moment, tension mounts, and the line between imagination and reality begins to blur. 
  The Red Room is not merely a ghost story—it is a masterful exploration of fear itself. Perfect for listeners who appreciate classic horror with a psychological edge, this timeless tale will linger long after the final word is spoken. 
  Turn down the lights… and listen, if you dare.

  The Misanthrope

  Molière Moliere

  Molière's timeless classic, The Misanthrope, is a brilliant exploration of human nature, social hypocrisy, and the conflicts between honesty and societal expectation. Written in the 17th century, this comedic masterpiece remains strikingly relevant today, revealing the eternal struggle of integrity in a world governed by pretense.
  
  At the heart of the play is Alceste, a man of unwavering honesty who despises the lies, flattery, and superficiality of high society. His refusal to compromise his principles earns him ridicule and isolation, yet his moral rigidity is contrasted with his passionate love for Célimène, a witty and charming woman whose playful flirtations and social maneuvering epitomize the very society Alceste despises.
  
  Through sharp wit, clever dialogue, and intricate social commentary, Molière exposes the contradictions and absurdities of human behavior. The play examines the tension between sincerity and politeness, love and reason, individuality and conformity. It challenges readers to question their own values, social interactions, and the compromises they make to fit into a world rife with pretense.
  
  Molière's The Misanthrope is more than just a comedy—it is a mirror reflecting the complexities of human relationships, a satire that cuts to the core of social conventions, and a timeless study of integrity, love, and the struggle to remain true to oneself in an often hypocritical society.
  
  Perfect for lovers of classic literature, drama, and social critique, this edition brings Molière's sharp insights and timeless humor to life, offering readers both entertainment and profound reflection.

  The Waxworks - From their pens...

  A M Burrage

  Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex on 1st July, 1889. His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16 AM Burrage had joined them.  The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market too.  The money was better and so was his writing. 
  From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment.  AM Burrage quickly became a master of the market publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. 
  By the start of the Great War Burrage was well established but in 1916 he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years documenting his experiences in the classic book War is War by Ex-Private X. 
  For the remainder of his life Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers.  In this volume we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written.  Succinct yet full of character each reveals a twist and a flavour that is unsettling…..sometimes menacing….always disturbing.
