Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R.James Vol.1| Full Audiobook with subtitles

Montague Rhodes James librivox was a medieval scholar; Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of supernatural forces. The details of horror are almost never explicit, the stories relying on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasise the awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions. “Ghost Stories of an Antiquary” was written as two collections, presented here as two volumes in a single work. There is a short author’s preface before the first story in each volume. (Summary by Peter Yearsley) Ghost Stories of an Antiquary M. R.

The Clue by Carolyn Wells | Audio book with subtitles

https://youtube.com/watch?v=-IjB4MZQOss

The Clue by Carolyn WELLS. Read by Roger Melin. Once Carolyn Wells began, or re-invented her writing career, ‘The Clue’ was her initial book which strayed from children’s writings into mysteries and detective stories. It is also when we are introduced to her most famous of detectives, Fleming Stone. On the eve of her wedding day, Madeleine Van Norman, a beautiful young lady who is soon to come into her family fortune is found dead, apparently stabbed with an ominous blood-stained letter opener found nearby. There is nobody within the household who is not considered a suspect by the police, but how could a killer have slipped through the doors of Madeleine’s locked bedroom? It must have been suicide, as a note was found lying on a table near her body. Or was it? An intriguing mystery ensues which hinges on the discovery of a single, all-important clue. – Summary by Roger Melin Genre(s): Detective Fiction Chapters: 0:26 | Chapter 1.
