"Author Montague Rhodes James, known as M.R. James, who lived from 1862–1936, was a most distinguished medievalist, biblical scholar and antiquarian who served as Provost of King’s College, Cambridge and of Eton College in England. Despite his formidable intellectual and administrative achievements, he is best known today, as he was in his lifetime, as the author of some 30 examples of the most frightening, learned and humorous ghost stories ever written. Lost Hearts tells the story of Stephen Elliott, an orphan aged 11 years and of an inquiring frame of mind, who is sent to stay with his much older cousin, the scholarly Mr. Abney, at a remote country mansion, Aswarby Hall, in Lincolnshire. Things get strange when Stephen is repeatedly troubled by visions of a young gypsy girl and a traveling Italian boy with their hearts missing. And then weirder upon discovering Mr. Abney is an alchemist obsessed with making himself immortal. The tale is read by Oscar nominated and Emmy Award Winning Special Makeup FX Artist Edward E. French."
"Howard Phillips Lovecraft, born August 20, 1890, began composing rudimentary horror tales by the age of 8. He’s best remembered for cooking up his very own genre, Cosmic Horror, featuring monsters so powerful and terrifying that just seeing them will likely drive you insane. He was 31 at the time of his first publication in a professional magazine. By age 34, he was a regular contributor to newly founded Weird Tales magazine. In 1926, and over the next nine months he produced some of his most celebrated tales including The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness and Shadow out of Time. Never able to support himself from earnings as an author, Lovecraft saw commercial success increasingly elude him, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. An inheritance was completely spent by the time he died in poverty at the age of 46 on March 15, 1937. Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated Makeup FX Artist (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and two-time Emmy Award Winner for makeup creations seen in TV’s “House,” “Mad TV” and the “Westworld” Netflix reboot."
"The whimsical tale of a witch and an enchanted scarecrow come to life from the otherwise serious author Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 - May 19, 1864), whose themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity. He is best known for The House of the seven Gables and The Scarlet Letter, a story of a proud adulteress sentenced by her stern Puritan judges to wear a scarlet A on her breast, published in 1850. His published works include a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. He died in his sleep in Plymouth, New Hampshire, and four days later he was buried in Concord’s Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, with Longfellow and Emerson among his mourners. Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominee and multiple Emmy Award winner for Special Effects Makeup. Credits at IMDB.com"
"Author Ambrose Bierce (June 24, 1842 – c. 1914) was a prolific and versatile writer regarded as one of the most influential journalists in the United States and as a pioneering writer of realist fiction. His horror writing is ranked alongside Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft. He may well be the greatest satirist America has ever produced. His book The Devil's Dictionary was named one of 'The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature' by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. His story 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' has been described as 'one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature' and his war stories influenced Stephen Crane, Ernest Hemingway, and others. In 1913, Bierce told reporters that he was travelling to Mexico to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution. He disappeared and was never seen again.

"Writer, poet, critic, and editor Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19, 1809 and became a literary sensation in 1845 with the publication of his poem 'The Raven,' considered a great American literary work and one of the best of Poe's career. His creative talents led to the beginning of different literary genres, earning him the nickname 'Father of the Detective Story' among other distinctions. He produced thrilling tales, such as “The Cask of Amontillado,' and poems such as 'Ulalume' and 'The Bells.' On October 3, 1849 Poe was found in Baltimore in great distress. His actual cause of death has been the subject of endless speculation. He was taken to Washington College Hospital where he died on October 7. His last words were 'Lord, help my poor soul.'

"Author Algernon Henry Blackwood, born March 14 March 1869, was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. He was also a journalist and an extremely popular storyteller on radio and television (he appeared on the first British television program ever), and a secret agent during the First World War. His work inspired writers as diverse as Henry Miller and Carlos Casteneda. His supernatural fiction includes such weird masterpieces as The Willows and The Wendigo. Blackwood was born a high Victorian and died a television star on December 10, 1951. Alas, recordings of the broadcasts with which he entranced a rapt nation seem lost to perpetuity. The stories themselves, thankfully, are not.

"Author Abraham 'Bram' Stoker, born on November 8, 1847 was an Irish civil servant prolific writer, critic, journalist and theatre producer. He was a sickly child and spent a lot of time in bed. Growing up, his mother told him a lot of horror stories which may have influenced his later writings. He is of course most famous for creating one of the most memorable monsters in literary history. The gothic masterpiece, Dracula, was published by Archibald Constable in 1897. The book has continued to grip the public's imagination ever since, and it has never been out of print since its publication. The evil Count has inspired the creation of hundreds of film, theatrical and literary adaptations. Stoker crossed the rainbow bridge on April 20, 1912. Narrator Edward E.

"Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927) was an English writer and humorist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat. Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat, and several other novels. Owing to bad investments in the local mining industry, Jerome’s family fell into poverty and debt collectors visited often, an experience Jerome described vividly in his autobiography My Life and Times (1926).The young Jerome wished to go into politics or be a man of letters, but the death of his father when the younger Jerome was age 13 and of his mother when he was age 15 forced him to quit his studies and find work to support himself. He was employed at the London and Northwestern Railway, initially collecting coal that fell along the railway, and remained there for four years. Narrator Edward E.

"Arthur Machen, born March 3, 1863, in Caerleon, Monmouthshire, Wales, The United Kingdom, was a leading author of the 1890s. He is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. 'The Great God Pan,' published in 1894 made him famous and controversial in his lifetime. Machen's story was widely denounced for its sexual and horrific content and subsequently sold well, going into a second edition. His other fiction, novels and short stories written between the late 1880s and the 1930s, frequently sound notes of the fantastic and the surreal. Machen was a man who was at war with the stifling scientific materialism which was the dominant world-view of his time, and this is echoed in his non-fiction works, which include literary criticism, cultural history, and spiritual polemic, all of which justify his memory as 'the apostle of wonder'. He passed from the world of shadows on December 15, 1947. Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated Hollywood Makeup Effects Artist (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and Emmy Award Winner for The Westworld reboot, Mad TV and Fox TV’s House.

"Charles John Huffam Dickens (February 7, 1812 – June 9, 1870) enjoyed a wider popularity during his lifetime than had any previous author. A Christmas Carol was conceived and written in a few weeks in late 1843. His many volumes include such works as David Copperfield, Bleak House, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and Our Mutual Friend. His popularity has never ceased. The most abundantly comic of English authors, he was much more than a great entertainer. The range, compassion, and intelligence of his apprehension of his society and its shortcomings enriched his novels and made him both one of the great forces in 19th-century literature and an influential spokesman of the conscience of his age.

French is an Oscar nominated Special Effects Makeup Artist (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and Emmy winner for MAD TV, Westworld (TV Pilot) and Fox TV’s “House.” Contact Email: edwardfrench06@hotmail.com."
