"All words have a value, they have a truth. Even misinforming us is part of their job. But they are only words, sticks and stones etc etc.But in this volume our authors explore the use of curses. These strings of words might seem harmless enough if you don’t believe they can have any ill effect. Little by little, though, sometimes they do. Our brains connect curse with that action, that happening and now we might be seeing them as cause and effect. Perhaps that curse really does have some power, some potency, and if that is so maybe that curse is malevolent and its true purpose is not to wish us good. 1 - Stories about Curses - An Introduction2 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy3 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey4 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling5 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs6 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad7 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard8 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav9 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman10 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt11 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit12 - The Weird of the Walfords by Louisa Baldwin13 - Casting the Runes by M R James"

Gothic Revenge Stories Not by Edgar Allan Poe

"In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - Gothic Revenge Stories Not by Edgar Allan Poe - An Introduction2 - The Music on the Hill by Saki3 - The Romance of Certain Old Clothes by Henry James4 - The Ash Tree by M R James5 - The Squaw by Bram Stoker6 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt7 - Captain Rogers by W W Jacobs8 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon9 - The Middle Toe of the Right Foot by Ambrose Bierce10 - The Beast With Five Fingers by W F Harvey11 - The Man in the Bottle by Gustav Meyrink12 - The Iron Shroud by William Mudford13 - The Miniature by J Y Ackerman"

Essence of Evil – Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More

"Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor. But in this volume our authors are rather more spiteful that we could at first imagine. Here they blight the lives of characters with Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I.1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More - An Introduction2 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling3 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad4 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft5 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France7 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman8 - Casting the Runes by M R James9 - Clairvoyance by D K Broster10 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage11 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach12 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach13 - The Dead Hand by Wilkie Collins14 - The Beast With Five Fingers by W F Harvey15 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy16 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey17 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs18 - The Hair by A J Alan19 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav20 - Blood - Part 1 by Hanns Heinz Ewers21 - Blood - Part 2 by Hanns Heinz Ewers22 - Beyond the Pale by H D Everett23 - The Operation by Violet Hunt24 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope25 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford26 - Lost Hearts by M R James27 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard28 - The Screaming Skull by F Marion Crawford29 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson30 - Witchcraft by Arthur Machen31 - A Witches Den by Helena Blavatsky32 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman33 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt34 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage35 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton36 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton37 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit38 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol39 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo40 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson41 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster42 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune43 - Marsyas In Flanders by Vernon Lee44 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 1 by Aleister Crowley45 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 2 by Aleister Crowley"

The Top 10 Short Stories - The 1860's - The Men

"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.This mid-century decade reveals a journey traversing continents and genres as authors explore and revel in the telling of tumultuous times of social upheaval as nations are divided by Civil War or expand with the brute force of Imperial Dreams. Our writers are here to document and narrate more about this fascinating decade.01 - The Top 10 - The 1860's - The Men - An Introduction02 - The Crocodile.
