Title: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Unabridged) Author: Washington Irving Narrator: Phil Chenevert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 24 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Horror Publisher's Summary: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving is a gothic story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories titled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England. 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' was first published in 1819. Along with Irving's companion piece 'Rip Van Winkle', 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. In 1949, the second film adaptation was produced by Walt Disney as one of two segments in the package film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Plot: The story is set in 1790 in the countryside around the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town (historical Tarrytown, New York), in a secluded glen known as Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow is renowned for its ghosts and the haunting atmosphere that pervades the imaginations of its inhabitants and visitors. Some residents say this town was bewitched during the early days of the Dutch settlement, while others claim that the mysterious atmosphere was caused by an old Native American chief, the 'wizard of his tribe ... before the country was discovered by Master Hendrik Hudson.' Residents of the town are seemingly subjected to various supernatural and mysterious occurrences. They are subjected to trance-like visions and frequented by strange sights, music, and voices 'in the air.' The inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow are fascinated by the 'local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions' on account of the mysterious occurrences and haunting atmosphere. The most infamous spectre in the Hollow, and the 'commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air,' is the Headless Horseman. He is supposedly the restless ghost of a Hessian trooper whose head had been shot off by a stray cannonball during 'some nameless battle' of the Revolution, and who 'rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head'.

Title: Beowulf (Unabridged) Author: Unknown Narrator: Jim Mowatt, Kirsten Ferreri, Peter Yearsley, Cynthia Lyons, Karen Savage, Kara Shallenberg, Denny Sayers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 58 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Horror Publisher's Summary: Beowulf by Unknown Audiobook is an Old English epic poem in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature. The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025 Summary: The protagonist Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, king of the Danes, whose great hall, Heorot, is plagued by the monster Grendel. Beowulf kills Grendel with his bare hands, then kills Grendel's mother with a giant's sword that he found in her lair. Later in his life, Beowulf becomes king of the Geats, and finds his realm terrorized by a dragon, some of whose treasure had been stolen from his hoard in a burial mound. He attacks the dragon with the help of his thegns or servants, but they do not succeed. Beowulf decides to follow the dragon to its lair at Earnanæs, but only his young Swedish relative Wiglaf, whose name means 'remnant of valour',[a] dares to join him. Beowulf finally slays the dragon, but is mortally wounded in the struggle. He is cremated and a burial mound by the sea is erected in his honour. Beowulf is considered an epic poem in that the main character is a hero who travels great distances to prove his strength at impossible odds against supernatural demons and beasts. The poem begins in medias res or simply, 'in the middle of things', a characteristic of the epics of antiquity. Although the poem begins with Beowulf's arrival, Grendel's attacks have been ongoing. An elaborate history of characters and their lineages is spoken of, as well as their interactions with each other, debts owed and repaid, and deeds of valour. The warriors form a brotherhood linked by loyalty to their lord. The poem begins and ends with funerals: at the beginning of the poem for Scyld Scefing and at the end for Beowulf.

Title: Green Tea (Unabridged) Author: Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Narrator: Hosmer Angel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 14 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Horror Publisher's Summary: Green Tea by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Audiobook - Based on the psychological complexities of human mind, the work is pervaded by a mysterious aura. A drink opens the inner eye of the protagonist. What follows is a mind-boggling tale of eeriness and reality. | 'Green Tea', a haunting narrative of a man plagued by a demonic monkey. Engrossing! 'Green Tea' was published in the collection In a Glass Darkly, a group of tales connected as narratives reported by a German physician, Dr. Hesselius, who is interested in exploring the relationship between the unconscious and the supernatural. As in much gothic fiction, the narrative is even more indirect, for it is introduced by Dr. Hesselius's secretary, who is ostensibly reproducing the doctor's letters after she had translated them. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (28 August 1814 - 7 February 1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales, mystery novels, and horror fiction. He was a leading ghost story writer of his time, central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as 'absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories'. Three of his best-known works are the locked-room mystery Uncle Silas, the lesbian vampire novella Carmilla, and the historical novel The House by the Churchyard.

Bombs detonated in every major city across England, releasing the little known ‘Non Compos Mentis Virus,’ and with it destroying seventy-five percent of the population.
