At a Winter's Fire

At a Winter's Fire by Bernard Edward Joseph Capes invites listeners into a brooding, late‑Victorian collection where wintry landscapes and uncanny encounters kindle uncanny wonder. First published in 1899, these short stories blend fantasy, gothic atmosphere, and literary finesse—from Alpine chill in "The Moon Stricken" to intimate domestic hauntings—each tale shaped by Capes’s elegant prose and a keen eye for psychological suspense. Across this curated anthology you'll find eerie folklore, moral ambiguity, and subtle supernatural thrills rather than blunt shocks: ghostly presences, vanishing houses, and men whose secrets thaw in the cold light of fate. The stories reflect fin‑de‑siècle tastes for mood, character, and the uncanny, originally appearing in the period's leading magazines and now reanimated for modern ears. Ideal for fans of classic fantasy, Victorian ghost stories, and short literary fiction, this audiobook offers atmospheric narration that heightens Capes’s descriptive power and haunting vignettes. Listen to At a Winter's Fire when you crave richly textured storytelling, slow‑burn chills, and timeless tales that linger long after the embers have died.
