Summary

Join an occult detective who uses a unique blend of ancient ritual and modern technology to investigate the supernatural. Armed with his "electric pentacle" and camera, the protagonist faces ab-human entities that threaten to breach the barrier between worlds. The stories combine the atmosphere of the gothic ghost story with a proto-scientific approach to the paranormal, creating a distinct subgenre of weird fiction. It is a suspenseful collection that treats the haunting of the dark as a problem to be solved with courage and voltage.
Available since: 01/29/2026.

    E. Nesbit’s The Mass for the Dead is a haunting tale of love, guilt, and the supernatural — a gothic romance where the boundaries between devotion and damnation blur in the flicker of candlelight. 
    When Jasper learns that the woman he loves is to marry another man — a wealthy Spaniard named Benoliel — his sleepless night turns into a waking nightmare. In the still hours before dawn, he hears a strange and beautiful music: a funeral mass for the dead. But when his beloved Kate confesses she too heard the same ethereal requiem, their destinies become entwined in a chilling mystery that stretches beyond the veil of life and death. 
    Driven by love, haunted by fate, and shadowed by the sins of pride and greed, The Mass for the Dead captures the eerie elegance of Victorian gothic fiction — where faith becomes fear and every vow carries a ghostly echo. 
    Narrated by Christopher Mireider, this dramatized performance brings E. Nesbit’s rarely heard masterpiece to life with haunting clarity and emotional depth. 
    Perfect for fans of Crimson Peak, The Turn of the Screw, and Wuthering Heights.

    "Between the phantasms of nightmare and the realities of the objective world, a monstrous and unthinkable relationship was crystallising…"
    
    A brilliant college student rents the attic room in an old house known as the Witch House because of the strange lights seen within it at night. As his studies spiral into feverish obsession, bizarre dreams, strange night-time noises and terrifying nightmares become waking visions that threaten not only his sanity, but the very fabric of human existence.
    
    Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.
