Sinopsis

Our 96th issue introduces some new contributors to the magazine—Smita Harish Jain (with an original mystery, thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Naomi Hirahara (with a riveting reprint mystery, courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Also on the mystery front, we have a pair of British classics: a Sexton Blake detective story by Hal Meredith and a novel by William Le Queux.
 
When it comes to fantasy and science fiction, we’ve achieved an appealing balance. Adrian Cole and Henry S. Whitehead deliver two distinctly different nautically-themed stories. Also featured is Robert E. Howard’s eerie tale, “The Dream Snake.” (The Whitehead and Howard pieces originated from Weird Tales, and Cole’s work could easily have found a home within its pages.) Complementing the mix are science fiction stories by Arthur Leo Zagat and Russ Winterbotham, both prolific during the Golden Age.
 
Here’s the complete lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“An Honorable Choice,” by Smita Harish Jain [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Case of the Taken Trophy,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Off the 405,” by Naomi Hirahara [Barb Goffman Presents short story]“The Empty Tin,” by Hal Meredith [short story, Sexton Blake series]The Gamblers, by William Le Queux [novel]

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 16 recordings of The Railway Train by Emily Dickinson. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 28, 2011.Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation.[3] Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.

    The Unnamable

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    "The Unnamable" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in September 1923, first published in the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first collected in Beyond the Wall of Sleep in 1943. 
    Carter, a weird fiction writer (likely Randolph Carter who features in some of Lovecraft's other tales such as "The Statement of Randolph Carter") meets with his close friend, Joel Manton, in a cemetery near an old, dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area. He contends that because such an entity cannot be perceived by the five senses, it becomes impossible to quantify and accurately describe, thus earning itself the term unnamable. 
    As the narration closes, this unnamable presence attacks both Carter and Manton. Both men survive and awaken later at St. Mary's hospital. They suffer from various lacerations, including scarring from a large horn-shaped object and bruises in the shape of hoof-prints on their backs.

    Title: The Squaw 
    Series Name: Timeless Terrors 
    Series Entry: 116 
    Author: Bram Stoker 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1893 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Description: 
    The Squaw is a chilling tale of cruelty, revenge, and relentless supernatural justice set against the haunting backdrop of medieval Germany. 
    The story follows an arrogant and thoughtless American tourist traveling through Nuremberg with his fiancée and their companion. What begins as a lighthearted journey through ancient castles and historic sites quickly darkens after a senseless act of brutality sparks consequences far beyond human reckoning. Within the looming shadows of the old fortress and its grim devices of punishment, an unseen force begins to close in — patient, watchful, and merciless. 
    In this unsettling narrative, Bram Stoker explores themes of karmic retribution, the abuse of innocence, and the thin boundary between coincidence and curse. As dread tightens its grip, the atmosphere grows heavy with inevitability, culminating in a finale both shocking and grimly poetic. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance heightens the mounting tension, gothic atmosphere, and grim sense of justice that make The Squaw a stark and unforgettable entry in Stoker’s dark fiction.

    Frankenstein - The Modern...

    Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would ‘curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.’ The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller. 
     
    Victor Frankenstein, driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel.
     
    Although first published in 1818, Shelley’s masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.
