Bath, 1816. Josephine Casterleigh will nur eins: raus aus dem Schatten ihrer exzentrischen Mutter und rein ins Abenteuer. Ein Maskenball klingt nach der perfekten Gelegenheit. Doch als sie im Ballsaal über eine geheimnisvolle Inschrift und einen gutaussehenden Fremden stolpert, beginnt eine Nacht, die sie so schnell nicht vergessen wird, mit einer rasanten Kutschfahrt ins Ungewisse, einem Gentleman’s Club, der besser nicht existieren sollte, und Rätseln, die nur eine lösen kann: ausgerechnet Josephine mit ihrem nutzlos geglaubten Wissen über alte Kulturen.

Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic tales.

They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over 30 of Conan Doyle's best Gothic tales

The Ultimate Gothic Horror Collection is a fully indexed collection of classic gothic stories, read by four Audie-winning narrators. Included here are stories by Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sheridan Le Fanu, Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe.

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 are difficult to achieve elsewhere. The Gothic short story is one of the most enduring of genres. In this volume we explore works by classic authors from all corners of Europe as they explore and exploit narratives with their undeniable talents.

The "Archival Mystery" Beneath the moss-draped cedars of the Kitsap Peninsula, something is waking up. When archivist Amaya Freeman is called to a crumbling Scandia farmhouse, she expects to find dusty records of Norwegian pioneers. Instead, she discovers a hidden cedar chest containing the journals of Dr. Soren Nilsen—a man who vanished in 1947 while tracking a shadow he called Chief Kitsap’s "Red Medicine." From the historic docks of Poulsbo to the rugged Hoh River, Nilsen’s records reveal a terrifying truth: the earth isn’t just soil and stone; it is a sentient ledger.
