Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft.“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” This creepy horror story is one of the best written by Lovecraft in my opinion. What unknown being is lurking out there? What entity arrived in that meteor? Never described exactly, yet he manages to let your own imagination smell and taste it in this story.Featured on Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Earth's Enigmas by Charles G. D. Roberts.Most of the stories in this collection attempt to present one or another of those problems of life or nature to which, as it appears to many of us, there is no adequate solution within sight. Others are the almost literal transcript of dreams which seemed to me to have a coherency, completeness, and symbolic significance sufficiently marked to justify me in setting them down. The rest are scenes from that simple life of Canadian backwoods and tide-country with which my earlier years made me familiar.Featured on Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Flaw in the Crystal by May Sinclair.One of May Sinclair’s “uncanny” stories, this novella explores many of Sinclair’s most treasured themes: the bounds of marriage, the conflict between flesh and spirit, the complexity of human emotions in relation to other humans, the practical everyday implications of philosophical Idealism. In the story, when Agatha Verrall enters into an extra-marital affair with Rodney Lanyon, she struggles to keep the relationship on a spiritual plane without falling into the physical passion that she fears. To her astonishment, she discovers that she has an extraordinary paranormal ability to manipulate the psyches and even the physical states of the people around her. At first, she uses it in a way that seems harmless to her, coaxing the oblivious Rodney to visit her whenever she wants him.Featured on Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
