Five Victorian Gothic Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 255min

Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915), little known now, but a renowned writer in her time, gives us five tales of the "weird" as she might herself have said. Here we have five of her better known stories, peopled with jilted lovers, blood thirsty old ladies, and grand, old houses whose restless ancestors refuse to abandon them! The five tales: "The Cold Embrace", "The Shadow in the Corner", "At Chrighton Abbey", "Good Lady Ducayne", and "Eveline's Visitant". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deborah Greenfield.

Classic Tales of Horror: Eveline's Visitant , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min

It was at a masked ball at the Palais Royal that my fatal quarrel with my first cousin André de Brissac began. The quarrel was about a woman. The women who followed the footsteps of Philip of Orleans were the causes of many such disputes; and there was scarcely one fair head in all that glittering throng which might not have seemed bedabbled with blood. ungekürzt.

The Visitant: A Venetian Ghost Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min

After she nearly ruins her family with a terrible misstep, Elena Spira is sent to Venice to escape disgrace and to atone by caring for the ailing Samuel Farber. But the crumbling and decaying Ca' Basilio palazzo, where Samuel is ensconced, holds tragic secrets, and little does Elena know how profoundly they will impact her. Soon she begins to sense that she is being watched by something. And when Samuel begins to have hallucinations that make him violent and unpredictable, she can't deny she's in mortal danger. Then impoverished nobleman Nero Basilio, Samuel's closest friend and the owner of the palazzo, arrives. Elena finds herself entangled with both men in a world where the past seeps into the present and nothing is as it seems. As Elena struggles to discover the haunting truth before it destroys her, a dark force seems to hold Samuel and the Basilio in thrall - is it madness, or something more sinister? ungekürzt.

The Raven: Dramatic Reading of the Gothic Classic plus Special Commentary, Hörbuch, Digital, 19min

In this wholly original reading/performance of the immortal Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poem, actor/performer Bill Mills goes beyond the stereotypical rhythmic rendition, intoned in a sepulchral voice, and instead presents Poe's words as the increasingly deranged dialogue of a man with a visitant he comes to see as an omen. It is an omen that neither in this life or the next shall he possess the one woman he loves beyond all reason. Produced in honor of the anniversary of the death of this legendary author and poet, the performance is enhanced with evocative music and sound effects and is preceded by an introductory tribute and Poe mini-biography written by producer and performer Bill Mills. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Mills. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/rebb/000026/pf_rebb_000026_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Le temple des muses (Illustrée) (eBook, ePUB)

J’ai connu, en Haute-Egypte, un merveilleux jardin tout rempli de fleurs et embaumé des parfums les plus suaves. Des jardiniers diligents l’entretiennent depuis des années dans un ordre parfait, bien que le maître ne vienne jamais occuper la petite maison charmante qui se trouve au centre de ce paradis. On se borne à le montrer aux touristes et à le leur faire admirer. Ceux-ci partent souvent avec un sentiment d’envie à l’égard du propriétaire, qu’une peine de c&oelig;ur a banni depuis longtemps de ce jardin de rêve. Moi-même, en le visitant, je n’ai pu m’empêcher de penser à notre beau Musée du Cinquantenaire, délaissé par ses vrais propriétaires et que parcourent surtout les étrangers qui, après une trop brève visite, ne peuvent manquer de s’étonner de ce que les Belges possèdent un semblable trésor archéologique et artistique.
