High in the mist-shrouded peaks of Germany’s Harz Mountains, legends whisper of a creature that stalks the snow—white as death, and twice as merciless. It comes when the moon is full… when the forest holds its breath… when man’s cruelty calls something darker from the wild. Tonight, we unravel one of the chilling gems of Gothic fiction.

This is ‘The White Wolf of the Harz Mountains’ by Captain Frederick Marryat. A short story originally published in his legendary novel The Phantom Ship, about the Flying Dutchman.

Seance

 Tonight, we travel back to the 19th century… to a quiet German town where curiosity takes a dark turn. In a courtyard stands an ancient instrument of death—a medieval iron maiden—its cruel jaws long closed. But when an innocent act leads to tragedy, those jaws may not stay shut for long. Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, spins a tale of horror not born from vampires… but from guilt, grief, and the merciless hunger of revenge. This is 'The Squaw' by Bram Stoker.
