In what many refer to as one of the first and greatest science fiction thrillers, a mysterious stranger wanders into an inn, wrapped head-to-toe in bandages. What lies beneath the bandages is something even more mysterious. As Wells tackles issues of identity, deception, and the deterioration of the human mind, listeners will be drawn into the story of the mysterious man, whose own mistakes end up whisking him into a whirlwind of deceit, terror, and even murder. In the end, the question will be asked: when your sense of self and identity vanish, who will you become?

Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah who is mystically transported to another Earth where time moves differently than ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by many evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterranean excavations have unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law. More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul, the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth that he might wage war against the universe’s creator.

Written at the start of the Great War, when his son Borys was at the Western Front, The Shadow-Line is Conrad's supreme effort to open man's eyes to the meaning of war through the stimulus of art. In many ways an autobiographical narrative, this masterpiece of his final period relates the story of a young and inexperienced sea captain whose first command finds him with a ship becalmed in tropical seas and a crew smitten with fever.

From the renowned author Jack London comes two classic adventure stories about primitivism, nature, and early 20th-century life. Seen through the eyes of two dogs, their stories are distinct yet share similarities, and they have cemented London as a literary genius and writer. Including complex themes such as morality and redemption, Jack London’s classic works have stood the test of time and remain central examples of literary fiction, a must-hear for anyone interested in the brilliant works of the past.

Resumen del Editor
The Island of Dr. Moreau is the definitive novel of human horror by H. G. Wells (The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man), the English author hailed as "The Father of Sci-Fi". When a shipwreck survivor is brought to the remote island compound of once-eminent physiologist Dr. Moreau, he will discover that the disgraced surgeon is now creating a hybrid race of human/animal beings. The novel deals with a number of philosophical themes, including pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity and the grisly extremes of science’s interference with nature. Are we not men?
The Island of Dr. Moreau - which Wells himself described as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy" - is a classic of early science fiction and remains one of the author’s best-known novels. Its popular film adaptations throughout the 20th century have included memorable performances by Charles Laughton (1933), Burt Lancaster (1977), and Marlon Brando (1996) as the mad doctor.
This special Severin edition of The Island of Dr. Moreau is narrated by Richard Stanley, the acclaimed South African writer/director of Hardware, Dust Devil, and Color Out of Space. In the mid-90s, Stanley’s pursuit of a modern epic adaptation of Wells’ novel met an unprecedented storm of disasters that included monstrous egos, production chaos, temporary insanity, and witchcraft, all of which was chronicled in the award-winning Severin Films documentary Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau.

Edgar Allan Poe, the master of terror, wrote some of literature's most entertaining and influential short stories, works that invented or anticipated modern detective novels, science fiction, and the horror genre. Tales of Terror collects nine of Poe's best-loved stories, all performed in chilling, highly dramatic readings by Jack Foreman. This collection includes such classics as "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Fall of the House of Usher", and what many consider his masterpiece, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue."

This chilling collection includes 20 works, each prefaced by Lovecraft's own opinions and insights in each author’s work.

In what many refer to as one of the first and greatest science fiction thrillers, a mysterious stranger wanders into an inn, wrapped head-to-toe in bandages. What lies beneath the bandages is something even more mysterious. As Wells tackles issues of identity, deception, and the deterioration of the human mind, listeners will be drawn into the story of the mysterious man, whose own mistakes end up whisking him into a whirlwind of deceit, terror, and even murder. In the end, the question will be asked: when your sense of self and identity vanish, who will you become?
