Wonder Of Women - Supernatural Stories Audiobook

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Supernatural - An Introduction2 - The Lifted Veil - Part 1 by George Eliot3 - The Lifted Veil - Part 2 by George Eliot4 - The Eyes by Edith Wharton5 - Dionea - Part 1 by Vernon Lee6 - Dionea - Part 2 by Vernon Lee7 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit8 - The Green Bowl by Sarah Orne Jewett9 - The Operation by Violet Hunt10 - Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley.wav11 - The First Evening by Catherine Crowe12 - A Wicked Voice - Part 1 by Vernon Lee13 - A Wicked Voice - Part 2 by Vernon Lee14 - Marsyas in Flanders by Vernon Lee15 - Hodge by Elinor Mordaunt16 - A Spirit Elopement by Clotilde Graves17 - The Night of No Weather by Violet Hunt18 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit19 - The Telegram by Violet Hunt20 - Amour Dure - Part 1 by Violet Paget writing as Vernon Lee21 - Amour Dure - Part 2 by Violet Paget writing as Vernon Lee"

Haunting American Gothic Stories Not by Edgar Allan Poe

"In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - Haunting American Gothic Stories Not by Edgar Allan Poe - An Introduction2 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 1 by Nathaniel Hawthorne3 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 2 by Nathaniel Hawthorne4 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft5 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft6 - The Eyes by Edith Wharton7 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving8 - The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne9 - The Yellow Sign by Robert W Chambers10 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman11 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman12 - The Striding Place by Gertrude Atherton13 - In Dark New England Days by Sarah Orne Jewett14 - The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving15 - The Devil In Manuscript By Nathaniel Hawthorne16 - Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne17 - The Romance of Certain Old Clothes by Henry James18 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce"
