    THE LURKING FEAR by H.P. LOVECRAFT

    1/18/2026 | 51 mins.
    A wealthy bachelor goes on a demon-hunting expedition to a deserted mansion in the Catskills and finds more than he bargained for. This spine-chilling tale from H.P. Lovecraft will keep you on the edge of your seat.
     The investigator focuses on the abandoned Martense mansion, a 17th-century Dutch estate rumored to be haunted. After his bodyguards vanish in the night and a fellow investigator has his face hideously "gnawed" away, the narrator realizes they are facing a physical, predatory threat rather than a ghost. Subterranean Discovery: Suspecting the long-lost Martense family is involved, the narrator digs into a family grave and falls into a vast network of tunnels. He discovers that the mansion and mountain are honeycombed with burrows.

    A COSMOPOLITE IN A CAFE by O.HENRY

    1/16/2026 | 16 mins.
    From THE FOUR MILLION by O. Henry
    O. Henry's "A Cosmopolite in a Café" tells of the narrator meeting E. Rushmore Coglan, a man who claims to be a true "citizen of the world," free from hometown ties. Coglan boasts of world travels, dismissing regional pride and judging people individually. However, when a stranger insults Coglan's hometown of Mattawamkeag, Maine, Coglan fiercely defends it, revealing his profound local loyalty and leading to a fight, thereby exposing his hypocrisy and proving the narrator's theory that true cosmopolites are rare.

    A DESCENT INTO THE MAELSTROM by EDGAR ALLAN POE

    1/11/2026 | 49 mins.
    In Scandinavia, there is a phenomenon known as the Moskstraumen or Moskenstraumen, a system of tidal whirlpools found in the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county (in Norway) between the Norwegian Sea and the Vestfjorden. This Moskstraumen was the inspiration for Poe's tale. Poe learnt about the maelstrom from several sources, which included an 1834 story in Fraser's Magazine titled 'The Maelstrom: A Fragment'.
    'A Descent into the Maelstrom' is a classic example of Poe's incorporation of real-life, non-fiction accounts of phenomena into fiction. The story provides us with something that real life almost certainly never could: what would it be like to be caught up in such a powerful force as the Maelstrom and yet live to tell the tale? Much like people who claim to have had near-death experiences in which they have seen the 'other side', the white-haired man experienced, and survived, something that nobody else had.
    Many of Edgar Allan Poe's tales focus on protagonists who find themselves in trouble because of their own behaviour: so the murderer in 'The Tell-Tale Heart' is driven mad by his own guilt (or, depending on how you read that ambiguous story, by the supernatural beating of his victim's heart beneath the floorboards), while the cat-killer in 'The Black Cat' also brings his subsequent haunting and bad luck upon his own head through his cruelty to his pet.
