The Willows

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Widely hailed as one of the greatest supernatural tales ever written, The Willows by Algernon Blackwood is a haunting and atmospheric masterpiece of weird fiction that lingers long after the final word. Two friends on a leisurely canoe trip down the Danube River find themselves drawn into a remote and desolate stretch of marshland dominated by strange, whispering willow trees. As they camp along the banks, a growing sense of unease takes hold. The natural world seems unnaturally alive—and hostile. Unseen forces stir in the darkness, reality begins to blur, and the travelers slowly come to realize they are not alone. Blending psychological tension with cosmic horror, Blackwood crafts an eerie and immersive experience that captures nature not as a peaceful refuge, but as an ancient and unknowable power. The Willows explores themes of insignificance, fear of the unknown, and the thin boundary between reality and madness. A favorite of H.P. Lovecraft, who called it “the finest supernatural tale in English literature,” The Willows is essential listening for fans of classic horror, the uncanny, and stories that creep quietly into the soul. Let yourself drift into Blackwood’s world—just beware what watches from the trees."

The Wendigo

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Deep in the uncharted forests of the Canadian wilderness, something ancient and unspeakable stirs. In The Wendigo, Algernon Blackwood crafts a harrowing tale of psychological terror, primal fear, and the supernatural presence that haunts the remote north. When a group of men set out on a moose-hunting expedition in the vast Canadian backwoods, they expect rugged conditions and a test of survival—but not the eerie dread that slowly begins to surround them. As their seasoned guide begins to act strangely and whispers of an old Native legend surface, the men realize they are not alone. According to lore, the Wendigo is a creature born of starvation and madness—an elemental spirit that feeds on the souls of the lost and the desperate. As the isolation deepens and reality begins to bend, the line between legend and nightmare dissolves. With his signature atmospheric style and psychological depth, Blackwood transforms a tale of wilderness adventure into one of the most enduring and unsettling stories in horror literature. The Wendigo is a chilling experience that will resonate with fans of cosmic horror, folklore, and slow-building suspense. Perfect for listeners who enjoy stories that blur the boundaries between man, nature, and the unknowable."

[German] - Die schwarze Serie, Folge 28: Der Wendigo

"Es sollte ein herbstlicher Jagdausflug in die kanadischen Wälder werden. Doch die Elche machen sich rar, und so teilen sich Dr. Cathcart und sein Jagdführer Hank Davies sowie Lennox Simpson, Dr. Cathcarts Neffe, und dessen Jagdbegleiter Joseph Defago in zwei Gruppen auf, um die großen Geweihträger endlich aufzuspüren. Doch sie sind nicht allein in den tiefen Wäldern, die jenseits der zivilisierten Welt liegen. Es ist der Wendigo, der umgeht, so sagt man. Eine uralte Sagengestalt, die, wenn man sie erst einmal gesehen hat, ihre Opfer nicht mehr loslässt, und mit ihnen davonfliegt in die dunkle Nacht ..."

The Foundations of Fiction - Psychological Horror

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The mind is perhaps our greatest resource. When our heads are working well, feeling positive, the world seems a much easier place to navigate. But in this volume our authors ponder a different question for us. A horror story of the mind that cleverly opens us up to dread and despair that evil can saunter through, causing agony and mayhem as it takes us into the shadows. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Psychological Horror - An Introduction2 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Picture In The House by H P Lovecraft4 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman5 - The Devil In Manuscript by Nathaniel Hawthorne6 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe7 - Was It An Illusion.

"Horror stories are designed from the onset to create a story that will suddenly go very wrong and create a sheer horror and hell not only for the characters in the story but by extension ourselves. In this carefully crafted volume, our authors use their talents to create an atmosphere that might start with tingling tension but builds and builds until we can trust nothing but the certainty of the next few words and the wrath they will bring.1 - Atmospheric Horror Stories - An Introduction2 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving3 - Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by M R James4 - For the Blood is the Life by F Marion Crawford5 - The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain6 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce7 - Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley8 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood9 - The Prediction by Mary Diana Dods writing as David Lyndsey10 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman11 - Caterpillars by E F Benson12 - Smee by A M Burrage13 - Count Magnus by M R James14 - The Crimson Weaver by R Murray Gilchrist15 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman16 - The Villa Désirée by May Sinclair17 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood18 - The Open Door - Part 1 by Margaret Oliphant19 - The Open Door - Part 2 by Margaret Oliphant20 - The Ghost at the Rath by Rosa Mulholland21 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach22 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach"

Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The dark forces of history have a way of settling in houses, usually large and rambling, but also small and nestled in a city, and from there all sorts of uneasy happenings begin. Authors have very playful imaginations, as well as some very disturbing ideas as they escalate the interactions between people and the growing source of terror that is with us and around us."
