Sinopsis

In "Horror Classics - Boxed Set: 30+ Occult & Supernatural Novels and Stories," William Hope Hodgson curates an impressive anthology of chilling tales that traverse the realms of the occult and the supernatural. His distinctive literary style, characterized by an evocative use of atmosphere and a deft handling of psychological horror, immerses readers in a world where the boundaries between reality and the otherworldly blur. This collection showcases Hodgson's mastery of crafting unsettling narratives, drawing from the early 20th-century literary contexts of gothic horror and weird fiction, where existential dread intertwines with human experience in stark landscapes and eerie settings. William Hope Hodgson, often overshadowed in the pantheon of horror writers, was influenced by his own experiences at sea and his fascination with the unknown, which permeate his work. His unique perspective as a war veteran further enriches his narratives, imbuing them with layers of fear derived both from external threats and internal struggles. Hodgson's exploration of these themes illustrates a deeper reflection on humanity's confrontation with its own limitations and the unfathomable forces that may lie beyond comprehension. This anthology is a treasure trove for enthusiasts of the supernatural and scholars alike, offering a compelling exploration of fear, existentialism, and the human psyche. Readers who appreciate the rich legacy of horror literature will find this boxed set not only a collection of stories but an opportunity to engage with the profound questions of life, death, and what may lurk beyond the veil of our understanding.

    New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins is back with a thrilling new gothic suspense set in a Gulf Coast beach motel where hurricane season can be murder. This program features multicast narration."The narrators provide outstanding performances, creating such believable characters that listeners might wonder if the story is based in fact." —Library Journal on The HeiressSt. Medard’s Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that’s survived every one of those storms, and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984.When Geneva Corliss, the current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard’s Bay on the map, she’s less interested in solving a whodunnit than in how a successful true crime book might help the struggling inn’s bottom line. But to her surprise, August Fletcher doesn’t come to St. Medard’s Bay alone. With him is none other than Lo Bailey herself. Lo says she’s returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all, but the closer Geneva gets to both Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores.As the summer heats up and another monster storm begins twisting its way towards St. Medard’s Bay, Geneva learns that some people can be just as destructive—and as deadly—as any hurricane, and that the truth of what happened to Landon Fitzroy may not be the only secret Lo is keeping.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press

    Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith was born in Birkenhead, Merseyside in England on the 7th August 1902 into a privileged family steeped in titles and politics. 
     
    Part of her education was at Miss Douglas's school at Queen's Gate.  Here she met and befriended several other young women that the British tabloid press would later call the ‘Bright Young Things’, a group of bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London. 
     
    Smith's paternal great-grandmother, was said to have been a Gypsy, and this sparked an early and life-long interest with the Romani people, she even went so far as to learn to read and speak the language, which she called ‘musical and broken.’ 
     
    Her life was full of adventure and mishaps.  A mistaken encounter with a man she thought could help her into the film business turned out to threats of marriage and death from a man wanted for the murder of his father.  She was even arrested twice.  Once for listing her career as a journalist and another, in Rome, for walking around in a sleeveless dress. 
     
    Smith began her career writing society gossip columns for various newspapers but later received an offer to write for the newly-formed Great Carmo Circus, with which she travelled for several years and was the source material for many of her books. 
     
    Her first novel, ‘Red Wagon’, was published when she was 28 and it was an immediate bestseller.  A prolific writer several of her works were also adapted for films. 
     
    Smith also wrote ghost stories and others flavoured with evil.  Her support for the Conservative party may be forgiven but her attributed quote to be a ‘warm adherent of General Franco’ less so. 
     
    Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith died on the 20th October 1945 in Westminster after a long illness. She was 43.
