The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Never more so than in this collection of 30 weird and macabre tales.

A collection of strange and often grisly tales by some of the world's greatest writers, ranging from mildly unsettling to hair-raising.

Výprava sestávající ze čtyř univerzitních profesorů, týmu studentů a mechaniků míří do dosud neprobádaných končin Antarktidy. Jejich cílem je získat v horských pásmech hlubinné vzorky prastarých hornin. Pak se však část skupiny odpojí a vydá se letecky prozkoumat oblast, kam ještě lidská noha nevkročila. V opadající sněhové bouři se před nimi zjeví obrovské sopečné pohoří, svou výškou dalece přesahující Himaláje. Pohled zblízka prozrazuje přítomnost řady jeskynních otvorů, z nichž některé mají nezvykle pravidelný tvar; úbočí horských titánů se řítí dolů v dokonalých kolmicích.

Na opuštěném ostrově kdesi v Pacifiku "šílený vědec" doktor Moreau provádí ďábelské genetické pokusy na zvířatech, které díky svým vědomostem dokáže měnit v poloviční lidi. Mladý námořník Andrew Braddock, se snaží s doktorovou schovankou Marií pomoci ubožákům uprchnout. Téma je vysoce aktuální i v dnešní době genetického inženýrství a klonování. Varuje před nejasnou hranicí mezi etickým vědeckým zkoumáním a vědou, která může nové poznatky zneužít nebo se vědcům zcela vymknout z kontroly.

This triumphant final volume of Spinechillers begins with Doug Bradley's personal guide to the writers and the history of the stories. M. R. James' classic "Number 13" starts off this volume with a mystery about a disappearing and reappearing hotel room, can you guess the room number? Story two is the tale of a cat that can not only talk, but spills secrets that should have been truly left behind. Next, we present one of the most famous stories by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu".

"Mentre avanzavo mi convinsi sempre più che, in quella parte del mondo, fatta eccezione per qualche sbandato come me, lo sterminio dell'umanità era ormai compiuto". "La guerra dei mondi" ("The War of the Worlds") è uno dei primi romanzi del genere fantascientifico ed è anche l'opera più famosa di Wells.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. The zenith of Empire is bookended by two catastrophic wars that slaughter vast swathes of humanity. And yet authors manage to record and create fragile libraries of humanity, its talents, its dreams and increasingly its nightmares.

The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting. In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining.

Whilst faith can be practiced anywhere religious faith is usually at a church or temple. The stories in this volume are centered both in houses of worship and with those with a strong association to its calling. Of course, short story authors have a determined belief in their undoubted talents to make us look at this subject from different angles. In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

"Temo di non riuscire a descrivervi le singolari sensazioni che si hanno viaggiando nel tempo: sono eccessivamente spiacevoli. Sembra di essere sulle montagne russe: si ha cioè la sensazione di precipitare inevitabilmente con la testa all'ingiù! Provavo, inoltre, l'orribile presentimento di una imminente catastrofe."

Ghosts, ghouls, witches, and other unearthly creatures promise to chill the blood and raise the hair of even the most courageous listener. Volume Two in this series presents more classic horror to enjoy beyond the spooky season. Brought to you by the slightly unhinged Utah Audiobook Narrators.
