3 Horror Stories - About Necromancy Audiobook

"There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears."

Atmospheric Horror Stories

"Horror stories are designed from the onset to create a story that will suddenly go very wrong and create a sheer horror and hell not only for the characters in the story but by extension ourselves. In this carefully crafted volume, our authors use their talents to create an atmosphere that might start with tingling tension but builds and builds until we can trust nothing but the certainty of the next few words and the wrath they will bring.1 - Atmospheric Horror Stories - An Introduction2 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving3 - Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by M R James4 - For the Blood is the Life by F Marion Crawford5 - The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain6 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce7 - Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley8 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood9 - The Prediction by Mary Diana Dods writing as David Lyndsey10 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman11 - Caterpillars by E F Benson12 - Smee by A M Burrage13 - Count Magnus by M R James14 - The Crimson Weaver by R Murray Gilchrist15 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman16 - The Villa Désirée by May Sinclair17 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood18 - The Open Door - Part 1 by Margaret Oliphant19 - The Open Door - Part 2 by Margaret Oliphant20 - The Ghost at the Rath by Rosa Mulholland21 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach22 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach"

The Foundations of Fiction - Gothic Horror

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The mere placing of these two words together creates a picture and a feeling that dark times are coming. Something evil, perhaps unfathomable, will be launched upon us by an author’s imagination that is sure to bring consequences that may only unsettle but equally may go much, much further than anyone, at first, imagined. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Gothic Horror - An Introduction2 - The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens4 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving5 - Olalla by Robert Louis Stevenson6 - The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin7 - The Dream by Mary Shelley8 - Green Tea by Sheridan Le Fanu9 - The Lifted Veil by George Eliot10 - Count Magnus by M R James11 - The Sand-Man by E T A Hoffman12 - The Striding Place by Gertrude Atherton13 - Thurnley Abbey by Perceval Landon14 - The Yellow Sign by Robert W Chambers15 - The Three Sisters by W W Jacobs16 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman17 - The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe18 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce19 - Wake Not the Dead by Ernst Raupach"

[Spanish] - Deja a los Muertos en Paz

"Deja a los muertos en paz (Laß die Toten ruhn) (1823), también traducido como No despertéis a los muertos es un cuento de vampiros escrito por el autor alemán Ernst Raupach En este extraordinario relato, el personaje central resulta ser una vampira, Brunilda, difunta esposa de Walter, quien, en su afán por recuperarla, llega al extremo de pedir la intervención de un hechicero para resucitarla. En este cuento, el vampirismo de Brunilda se explica cuando el hechicero, al resucitarla, utiliza, en el ritual, sangre humana. No cabe duda de que el vampirismo femenino es, en el campo literario, quizá, anterior al vampirismo masculino. Sea como fuere, el tema del vampirismo se ha mantenido en el interés popular y difícilmente será dejado en el olvido. Tanto películas como series televisivas se conforman en prueba fehaciente de ello."

The Top 10 Short Stories - European Gothic

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume our authors present tales of dark, macabre, and disturbing deeds. From the pens of Nikolai Gogol, Miguel de Cervantes, Mor Jokai, E T A Hoffman and many others come carefully crafted literary journeys designed to disrupt reality, jangle nerves and feed upon our souls. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - European Gothic -An Introduction 2 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 3 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol 4 - The Force of Blood by Miguel de Cervantes 5 - Olalla - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson 6 - Olalla - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson 7 - The Ghost at the Wrath by Rosa Mulholland 8 - The Sand-Man - Part 1 by E T A Hoffman 9 - The Sand-Man - Part 2 by E T A Hoffman 10 - The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain 11 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda Broughton 12 - Green Tea - Part 1 by Sheridan Le Fanu 13 - Green Tea - Part 2 by Sheridan Le Fanu 14 - The Bundle of Letters by Moritz Jokai 15 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach 16 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach"

Wake Not the Dead

"Ernst Benjamin Salomo Raupach was born on 21st May 1784 at Straupitz in Silesia, a son of the village pastor. After attending the gymnasium at Liegnitz, he studied theology at the university of Halle. This led to a tutorship in St Petersburg in 1804 and occasionally some preaching in the German Lutheran church. He was also hard at work writing his first dramatic tragedies and in 1817 he gained a professorship in German literature and history.In 1822, after anti-German outbreaks in Russia, he left for Italy and thence to Berlin, where he would remain for the rest of his life. In his career he wrote some 80 plays and other works which greatly influenced life and Culture in the Prussian capital across tragedies, comedies and historical dramas. His seminal early prose vampire story ‘Wake Not the Dead’ was originally published in 1823 in Minerva Magazine. When translated into English it was for many decades wrongly attributed to Johann Ludwig Tieck.Ernst Raupach died in Berlin on 18th March 1852. He was 67."
