In that extraordinary time between childhood and adulthood are those years that most parents dread; The Teenage Years. Hormones rage, personalities can become belligerent, lives are lived in partial secrecy as their brains undergo re-wiring and their bodies shoot out in all sorts of places. How then to find stories they can engage with? There's an easy answer. The same way we as adults engage. Great stories told by great authors. In this volume we can tick both boxes with the bonus that the stories are actually about them. Our classic authors including Marjorie Bowen, Gustav Meyrink, Kenneth Grahame, Thomas Hardy and many others bring all facets of this genre into needle-sharp focus. 01 - Scary Stories for Teenagers - An Introduction 02 - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson 03 - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson 04 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving 05 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 06 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 07 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe 08 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood 09 - The Cats of Ulthar by H P Lovecraft 10 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs 11 - Gabriel-Ernest by Saki 12 - The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce 13 - The Room in the Tower by E F Benson 14 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav 15 - August Heat by W F Harvey 16 - The Vampyre.

The Foundations of Fiction - Werewolves

The Complete Short Stories

H.H. Munro (Saki) is one of the undisputed masters of the short story. In this complete compendium, the full gamut of his subjects and themes are experienced. His stories are imbued with humorous satire, biting irony and often the macabre, all of which have one target: the stupidities and hypocrisies of Edwardian upper-class society.

Mitternachtsstories von Saki, H.G. Wells, W.F. Harvey, Dickens, Yeats - Nur für starke Nerven, Folge

Von 1973 bis 1990 strahlte Sender Freies Berlin (SFB) die beliebte Hörfunksendung 'Nur für starke Nerven' (ab 1987 unter dem Namen 'Die Mitternachtsstory') aus. Der Schauspieler Friedrich Schoenfelder las darin Grusel- und Kriminalgeschichten für Erwachsene zur guten Nacht vor. Bezeichnenderweise schlug er selbst 1972 der Unterhaltungsabteilung des SFB vor, eine Sendereihe zu starten, in der von ihm redaktionell ausgewählte Gruselgeschichten zu Gehör kommen sollten. Namhafte Autoren, von denen Geschichten zum Vortrag kamen, waren Ray Bradbury, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, E. A. Poe oder auch zeitgenössische deutschsprachige AutorInnen. Die Sendereihe umfasste mehr als 500 Folgen. Friedrich Schoenfelder konnte in mehr als 140 TV- und Kinofilmen, in mehr als 50 Hörspielen und als Synchronsprecher seine schauspielerische Leistung als distinguierter Gentleman aber auch als Charakterdarsteller unter Beweis stellen. In dieser Folge liest Friedrich Schoenfelder die Geschichten 'Augusthitze' und 'Nacht über dem Moor' von W. F. Harvey, 'Schicksal' von Saki, 'Der schöne Anzug' von H.G. Wells, 'Der Bahnwärter' von Charles Dickens und 'Der Fluch der Feuer und Schatten' von William Butler Yeats.

Selected Short Stories by Saki

Here are 12 specially selected tales by one of the masters of this miniature art, Saki (H.H Munro). They range from the comic deception of 'The Schartz Metterklume Method' to 'The Cobweb', a subtle meditation on life, change and death. Also included is Munro's short essay 'Birds on the Western Front', a poignant description of some of Nature's response to the devastation of war: written in the very place where Munro would tragically lose his life to a sniper's bullet in 1916. Beautifully narrated by Simon Hester, with specially composed music.

Classic Short Stories - Volume 1

Stories are one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements. Whether written down or spoken they have an ability to capture our imagination and thoughts, and take us on incredible journeys in the space of a phrase and the turn of a page.Within a few words of text or speech, new worlds and characters form, propelling a narrative to a conclusion with intricate ease. Finely crafted, perfectly formed these Miniature Masterpieces, at first thought, seem remarkably easy to conjure up. But ask any writer and they will tell you that distilling the essence of narrative and characters into a short story is one of the hardest acts of their literary craft. Many attempt, but few achieve.

Animal Terror - A Short Story Volume. Volume 1

The human race prides itself on being the most organised of animals. We manage the fate of all other species. All other animals bow to our control or suffer. In diminishing numbers we allow some to live in the wild but in increasing numbers we domesticate them and whether they become part of the family, a best friend or wonderfully decorative accessory we take their compliance for granted. Such a shame then when these creatures take umbrage and prepare their revenge on us they do so in ways designed to show that when the tables turn 'mercy' is just a word that we humans plead for, expect, but, of course, is always denied.

Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft, Saki (Author), Ghizela Rowe, Patrick Barlow, Richard Mitchley (Narrator)
