"Edward Alexander Crowley was born on 12th October 1875 to wealthy parents in Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire.He was educated at Malvern College, Tonbridge School, Eastbourne College and finally Trinity College, Cambridge where he focused on his passions of mountaineering and poetry and published several volumes.Life for Crowley was to abandon his parents’ Christian faith and instead to inject himself into Western esotericism. In 1898, he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and was trained in ceremonial magic before studying both Hindu and Buddhist practices in India.On his Egyptian honeymoon in 1904 he claimed contact with an entity―Aiwass―who gave him the sacred Book of the Law which served as the basis for the Thelema religion where he identified as its prophet. During the Great War, which he spent in the United States, he claimed to be working for British Intelligence but by the 1920s he had decamped to pursue a libertine lifestyle in Sicily, and in the ensuing scandals was evicted by the Italian Government.He divided the following two decades between France, Germany, and England, and the continuing promotion of Thelema.During his life he gained widespread notoriety for his drug use, his bisexuality, and his alarming views on society. In short, polite society frowned on his ways, his thoughts and his influence but to many others his stance had much of value. Even after death he was a darling for the 60’s counterculture but his influence has since waned. His literary works were both prolific and covered many topics. In the early part of his career he published many poetry books, even plays, before his darker and more forceful works came to dominate his output.Aleister Crowley died on 1st December 1947 at Hastings in England. He was 72"

The Shadow of a Shade
"Tom Hood was born on the 19th January 1835 at Lake House, Leytonstone just outside of London, the son of the famed poet Thomas Hood.Hood was educated at University College School and Louth Grammar School before attending Pembroke College, Oxford, in 1853 to study for a career in the Church. Despite passing all of his exams he never graduated.Hood began writing at Oxford and first published soon after his arrival there. Much of his work is humourous or for children (which his sister co-authored) but he also wrote novels, two books on English verse composition and short stories as well as many pieces for magazines and periodicals. Hood was also a talented artist and illustrated several of his father's comic verses.In 1860 he began a five-year stint for the War Office before leaving to edit the weekly ‘Fun Magazine’. Many of his wide range of friends including W S Gilbert and Ambrose Bierce contributed to this very popular weekly magazine.Tom Hood died suddenly at his cottage at Peckham Rye, Surrey on the 20th November 1874. He was 39."

The Shadow on the Blind
"Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent. Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men. In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne. After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire. She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness.During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883. She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge.Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life. Louisa Baldwin died in 1925."
Louisa Baldwin (Author), Robert Maskell (Narrator)
"Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on the 30th August 1797 in Somers Town, London.Her mother, the famous feminist philosopher, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft died when Mary was only 11 days old and she was raised by her father, the philosopher, novelist, journalist, and perpetually in debt, William Godwin.Though Mary received little formal education her father taught her a broad range of subjects and added to her bright and curious personality she easily absorbed a good and broad education.In July 1814, after conducting a secret affair with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who had earlier promised to pay off yet another round of her father’s business debts, the pair eloped to France. Within two months, penniless and pregnant they returned to England.Her husbands’ affairs caused her frequent heartbreak but despite all the travails, including the loss of her own child, Shelley’s recent inheritance gave them the opportunity to journey again to Europe.It was here that ‘Frankenstein’ was born and established Mary’s own name in literature.Her life hereafter was plagued with loss; the death of two further children and then her husband in a boating accident. Her writing continued through novels, travel pieces and biographies. Her short stories, some based in Europe, tackle difficult situations and genres as well the obstacles that women were burdened with in society. Her editorship of her late husband’s poetry was also widely praised. Mary’s radical politics continued to guide her journey throughout her life but, by 1840, illness had begun to haunt her years, depriving her of energy and vigour. Mary Shelley died on the 1st February 1851, at Chester Square, London of a suspected brain tumour. She was 53."

"Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was born on the 1st April 1875 in Greenwich, London. Leaving school at 12 because of truancy, by the age of fifteen he had experience; selling newspapers, as a worker in a rubber factory, as a shoe shop assistant, as a milk delivery boy and as a ship’s cook. By 1894 he was engaged but broke it off to join the Infantry being posted to South Africa. He also changed his name to Edgar Wallace which he took from Lew Wallace, the author of Ben-Hur. In Cape Town in 1898 he met Rudyard Kipling and was inspired to begin writing. His first collection of ballads, The Mission that Failed! was enough of a success that in 1899 he paid his way out of the armed forces in order to turn to writing full time. By 1904 he had completed his first thriller, The Four Just Men. Since nobody would publish it he resorted to setting up his own publishing company which he called Tallis Press. In 1911 his Congolese stories were published in a collection called Sanders of the River, which became a bestseller. He also started his own racing papers, Bibury’s and R. E. Walton’s Weekly, eventually buying his own racehorses and losing thousands gambling. A life of exceptionally high income was also mirrored with exceptionally large spending and debts. Wallace now began to take his career as a fiction writer more seriously, signing with Hodder and Stoughton in 1921. He was marketed as the ‘King of Thrillers’ and they gave him the trademark image of a trilby, a cigarette holder and a yellow Rolls Royce. He was truly prolific, capable not only of producing a 70,000 word novel in three days but of doing three novels in a row in such a manner. It was in, estimating that by 1928 one in four books being read was written by Wallace, for alongside his famous thrillers he wrote variously in other genres, including science fiction, non-fiction accounts of WWI which amounted to ten volumes and screen plays. Eventually he would reach the remarkable total of 170 novels, 18 stage plays and 957 short stories.Wallace became chairman of the Press Club which to this day holds an annual Edgar Wallace Award, rewarding ‘excellence in writing’. Diagnosed with diabetes his health deteriorated and he soon entered a coma and died of his condition and double pneumonia on the 7th of February 1932 in North Maple Drive, Beverly Hills. He was buried near his home in England at Chalklands, Bourne End, in Buckinghamshire."

The Professor's Mummy
"Ferguson Wright Hume was born in Powick, Worcestershire on the 8th July 1859.When he was three the family emigrated to Dunedin in New Zealand. Here he started his education at the Otago Boys' High School before studying law at the University of Otago. Hume was admitted to the New Zealand bar in 1885. He moved to become a barrister’s clerk to Melbourne and once there also began writing plays. The local theatres were not interested in his works, and it was only after one was stolen and presented as being by someone else that his stock rose at all. Hume now moved in a different direction and wrote a novel based on those that were proving popular in Melbourne at that time. The result ‘The Mystery of a Hansom Cab’ with its vivid descriptions of poor urban life was initially self-published and became a great success, albeit that was only after he had sold the copyright for a mere £50. This Victorian age detective novel pre-dated Sherlock Holmes but is said to have inspired Conan Doyle. Shortly thereafter Hume returned to England and began a writing career that would eventually exceed over 130 novels as well as short story collections, plays, song lyrics and even book reviews for the plethora of literary journals of the day. Most of his output was detective stories, thrillers and mysteries.Hume was known to be deeply religious as well as intensely private and avoided almost all publicity, except in later life, when he lectured at debating societies and young people’s clubs. He travelled regularly to Europe and primarily to Italy, France and Switzerland. Fergus Hume died on the 12th July 1932 at Thundersley in Essex. He was 73 and was buried in an unmarked grave."

Wonder Of Women - The Darker Sex
"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 - The Darker Sex - An Introduction2 - The Lifted Veil - Part 1 by George Eliot3 - The Lifted Veil - Part 2 by George Eliot4 - John Charrington's Wedding by Edith Nesbit5 - Luz by Elinor Mordaunt6 - Lena Wrace by May Sinclair7 - Tamar by Lady Eleanor Smith8 - Sylvia by Bessie Kyffin Taylor9 - The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell10 - In the Mist by Mary E Penn11 - In the Séance Room by Lettice Galbraith12 - Behind the Curtain by Gertrude Barrows Bennett writing as Francis Stevens13 - Behind the Wall by Violet Jacob14 - Under The Electrics by Clotilde Graves writing as Richard Dehan15 - The Face in the Glass by Mary Elizabeth Braddon16 - The Strange Looking Man by Fanny Kemble Johnson17 - The Three Kisses by Violet Quirk18 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell19 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps20 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron21 - In Dark New England Days by Sarah Orne Jewett"

"Ethel Lina White was born on the 2nd April 1876 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in Wales.Her family were wealthy due to her father’s invention of a waterproofing material used, initially, for the London Underground.Ethel started writing when she was only a child and published essays and poems in children’s papers. She was also a talented artist.As an adult she began to write short stories and, some years later, she started writing novels. At the time she was working for the Ministry of Pensions in London but resigned in order to accept an advance of ten pounds and begin a career as a novelist. It was this determination that helped her become one of the best-known crime writers in the English-speaking world during the 1930’s and 40’s.Perhaps her best-known books are the ‘The Lady Vanishes’ and ‘The Spiral Staircase’ both of which were originally entitled differently but were republished with new names after being filmed. Whilst today she lacks attention, in her day she was as popular and as highly regarded as Agatha Christie.Ethel Lina White died in London on the 13th of August 1944 of ovarian cancer. She was 68.In her will she made a bizarre condition in order for her sister to receive her estate of £5737. It read: "I give and bequeath unto Annis Dora White all that I possess on condition she pays a qualified surgeon to plunge a knife into my heart after death." In life she had a fear of being buried alive."

3 Stories About - Ghosts of Murdered People
"There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears."

Stories About Curses
"All words have a value, they have a truth. Even misinforming us is part of their job. But they are only words, sticks and stones etc etc.But in this volume our authors explore the use of curses. These strings of words might seem harmless enough if you don’t believe they can have any ill effect. Little by little, though, sometimes they do. Our brains connect curse with that action, that happening and now we might be seeing them as cause and effect. Perhaps that curse really does have some power, some potency, and if that is so maybe that curse is malevolent and its true purpose is not to wish us good. 1 - Stories about Curses - An Introduction2 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy3 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey4 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling5 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs6 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad7 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard8 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav9 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman10 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt11 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit12 - The Weird of the Walfords by Louisa Baldwin13 - Casting the Runes by M R James"

19th Century English Love Stories Not by Jane Austen
"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 - 19th Century English Love Stories Not by Jane Austen - An Introduction2 - The Lagoon by Joseph Conrad3 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley4 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit5 - The Sexton's Hero by Elizabeth Gaskell6 - Diary of a Plain Girl by Amy Levy7 - Modern Melodrama by Hugo Crackanthorpe8 - Suggestion by Mrs Ernest Leverson9 - The Last House in C Street by Mrs Craik10 - The Story of Salome by Amelia Edwards"

The Foundations of Fiction - Dystopian
"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. We all fear the world will end badly. Even worse that we might be caught up in it. In this volume our authors summon up stories which illustrate and flavour our thinking and imaginings on just how a society would reach that precipice, how it would ultimately be.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Dystopian - An Introduction2 - A Dream of Armageddon by H G Wells3 - The Park of Kings by Alexander Kuprin4 - Into the Sun by Robert Duncan Milne5 - The Cloud-Men by Owen Oliver6 - The Republic of the Southern Cross by Valery Bryusov7 - The End of the World by Simon Newcomb8 - The World's Last Cataclysm by Robert Duncan Milne9 - Within An Ace of the End of the World by Robert Barr10 - Christmas Formula by Stella Benson11 - The Repairer of Reputations by Robert W Chambers"

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. A crime is committed and the forces of good and the law go to work on deducing and apprehending a culprit. However, when those detectives have some rather special skills that involve the paranormal, stories become something more. Logic becomes elastic as the forces of good come into contact with malevolent and dark forces that harbour evil and ill-will. However, with the aid of the paranormal, the Occult Detective will be getting to the truth in ways that only they were born too.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Paranormal Detective - An Introduction2 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson3 - Mark of the Beast By Rudyard Kipling4 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writing as Dion Fortune5 - John Silence, Physician Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood6 - The Man With No Face by Gertrude Minnie Robins7 - The Dead Hand by L T Meade and Robert Eustace8 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny9 - Ineligible by Aleister Crowley10 - An Expiation by Arabella Kenealy11 - Green Tea by Sheridan Le Fanu12 - The Story of the Green House, Wallington by Allen Upward13 - The House of the Black Evil by Eric Purves14 - The Story of 'The Spaniards', Hammersmith by Kate and Hesketh Pritchard15 - The Murder in an Omnibus by Harold Begbie"

Lessons from Literature - Stories Dealing with Death and Loss
"Being curious, learning from all of our experiences, is one of our most pleasing traits as human beings. In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents.In this volume our literary friends offer their talents and stories to help us deal, and perhaps reconcile, our feelings of loss with the reality that the world moves on and we must too, however painful that process may seem and even become. 01 - Lessons From Literature - Stories Dealing with Death and Loss - An Introduction2 - Where Love Is, God Is by Leo Tolstoy3 - A Dead Woman’s Secret by Guy de Maupassant4 - Mary Postgate by Rudyard Kipling5 - The Altar of the Dead by Henry James6 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley7 - Misery by Anton Chekhov8 - War by Luigi Pirandello9 - The Casualty List by Winifred Holtby10 - The Border Line by D H Lawrence11 - A Complete Recovery by Barry Pain12 - An Unexpected Reunion by Johann Hebel13 - Them Others by Stacy Aumonier14 - After the Funeral by Mary Butts15 - The Dark Cottage by Mary Cholmondeley16 - The Furnished Room by O Henry17 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield18 - The Striding Place by Gertrude Atherton19 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps20 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev21 - The Vendetta by Guy de Maupassant22 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky23 - The Man Who Hated God by Winifred Holtby"
