The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.

Constable Jackson Forge intends to make the world safer, or at least the streets of Victorian London. But that's Kit Turner's domain, a swindler who runs a crew that acquires money the old-fashioned way - conning the rich to give to the poor. When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man, and the only way to do that is by enlisting Kit's help. If Jackson doesn't find the cabby, he'll be fired. If Kit doesn't help Jackson, he’ll arrest her for thievery. Yet neither of them realize those are the least of their problems.

not my usual genre
this was definitely a different and surprisingly enjoyable read. I usually go for more of a murder mystery based book but I'm glad I was able to experience this one.

Fun and Amusing Story
This is a quick story about Professor Thistlequick and his experiment, that he now needs more seeds for. I found it fun and basicly lighthearted, even though you do have a villain. Narrator does a delightful job with this story.

Hop into this head first
Spring-heeled Jack is one of my favorite cryptid/mystery man from my childhood. I read accounts of him, the Mad Gasser, and other odd entities, so when I saw this title, I had to get it. It's a wild ride for an all too brief but amazing tale. A little less than an hour and a half just wasn't enough for me, so I'm gonna see if I can't find more stuff by Hannibal Hills. The narration was great.
