All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies.

November 12, 1944. This house holds on to souls for a lifetime. I thought I had given it to my husband when I vowed to love him until the end of time. I lied. Nothing could have prepared me for the day my phantom appeared outside my window. He was terrifying, yet hypnotizing, and I couldn’t deny my intrigue. I never intended to fall into a whirlwind romance with my stalker. Especially because he’s so much more than that. A criminal. A mobster. The man who offers me solace from the monster in Parsons Manor. There are many that haunt these halls, yet it’s only my husband I fear.

El encargado jefe de las tres dinamos que zumbaban y rechinaban en Camberwell para mantener en marcha el ferrocarril eléctrico procedía del condado de York, y se llamaba James Holroyd. Era un electricista práctico, pero aficionado al whisky, un bruto pelirrojo y pesado con una dentadura irregular.

Between 1895 and 1898, H. G. Wells wrote five science fiction novels, which have become among the most celebrated examples of the genre. The first of these was The Time Machine, in which Wells explores not only the fascinating subject of time travel but also the potential dangers to human autonomy by the advance of civilization. Well's world-weary Time Traveller, who is the main narrator, is one of his most quirky and appealing characters.

Hablando de precios de aves, he visto un avestruz que costó trescientas libras —dijo el taxidermista, recordando un viaje de su juventud—. ¡Trescientas libras! Me miró por encima de las gafas. Otro en cambio no lo querían ni por cuatro libras. No, no se trataba de nada extraordinario. Eran avestruces vulgares y corrientes. Algo descoloridas además a causa de la dieta. Y no había tampoco ninguna restricción especial de la demanda. Cualquiera hubiera pensado que cinco avestruces comprados a un indio habrían salido baratos.

He aquí algunos de los secretos de la taxidermia. Me los contó un taxidermista en estado de euforia, entre el primero y el cuarto whisky, cuando se ha dejado de ser cauteloso y todavía no se está borracho. Estábamos sentados en su guarida, exactamente en la biblioteca, que era a la vez sala de estar y comedor. Una cortina de cuentas la separaba, por lo que al sentido de la vista se refiere, del maloliente rincón donde ejercía su oficio.

La canoa estaba acercándose ahora a tierra firme. La bahía se abría, y un intervalo en el blanco oleaje del arrecife indicaba el lugar por donde el pequeño río desembocaba en el mar. La zona de verde más espesa y profunda del bosque virgen delataba su curso bajando desde la distante ladera montañosa. Aquí el bosque casi llegaba hasta la playa. A lo lejos se levantaban las montañas de textura oscura y semejantes a nubes, como si fueran olas repentinamente heladas.

"Les Oulhamr fuyaient dans la nuit épouvantable. Fous de souffrance et de fatigue, tout leur semblait vain devant la calamité suprême : le Feu était mort. Ils l'élevaient dans trois cages, depuis l'origine de la horde ; quatre femmes et deux guerriers le nourrissaient nuit et jour. (...) Sa face puissante éloignait le lion noir et le lion jaune, l'ours des cavernes et l'ours gris, le mammouth, le tigre et le léopard ; ses dents rouges protégeaient l'homme contre le vaste monde."
