01 The Soft Whisper of the Dead

Length: 4h 20m

Multiple award winner Charles L. Grant has written a vampire novel set in the author’s distressing little town of Oxrun Station. It is a region to be found on the same maps as Lovecraft’s Arkham and King’s Castle Rock.

The Soft Whisper of the Dead is the first of the Oxrun tales to be placed in other than a contemporary setting. The first in a trilogy of historical horror novels, it is the account of the evil Count Braslov’s attempt to subjugate the Oxrun population to his vampiric will.

This first novel of a fast-paced trilogy is fraught with gas-light atmosphere, plucky women, a befuddled constabulary and is filled with the excitement of the classic vampire tale. Great fun!

The Dark Cry of the Moon is a classic werewolf tale for fans of the old Universal and Hammer horror films. The emphasis is on character and atmosphere, not on gore. It is the second volume in Grant’s acclaimed “historical horror” trilogy.

For all of you who, like the author, yearn for something blatantly old-fashioned, here is an opportunity to climb back into the past, and experience the thrill of the classic tale of The Mummy—the jackal-headed god…ancient Egypt…mummies…eternal.…
