Stories From The Shadows - Volume 2

Embrace the darkness

Read by Richard Mitchley, Laurel Lefkow, Mark Rice-Oxley(Unabridged: 12hrs 47mins)

Featuring stories by Algernon Blackwood, Samuel Blas, Christopher Blayre, Marjorie Bowen, Mary Elizabeth Braddon & many more

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.

But where do these ideas and stories come from? A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form? An inspiration from a Muse? A suggestion from an everyday event?

Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work. They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
