Last week, we learned more about our protagonist, Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, as he worked through what happened to him between 1908 and 1913. Piecing it all together from his dreams and accounts of others who seem to have gone through the same thing, it seems too incredible to be true - could some...thing really have taken over his body during that time?

| The Shadow Out of Time - Part 2 (of 4) | 19 févr. 2025 | 00:47:58 | |
Last week, we were introduced to our protagonist, Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, who cannot remember what happened to him between 1908 and 1913. During that time, it appears he was overtaken by another personality. He has dreams of being a prisoner in an alien land. Nathaniel also discovered that he is not the only person who has experienced these feelings and dreams. What could it all mean?

| The Shadow Out of Time - Part 1 (of 4) | 12 févr. 2025 | 00:36:00 | |
We revisit one of our favorite authors, H.P. Lovecraft. In this story, Lovecraft delves into themes of psychological horror and the fragility of sanity. Influenced by the film Berkeley Square, Lovecraft believed that writing this novella helped him solve the conceptual problems of time travel portrayed in Berkeley Square.

| The Ugly Duckling | 05 févr. 2025 | 00:24:17 | |
This week we have an original fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen: The Ugly Duckling. Was it inspired by the bullying Hans Christian Andersen faced as a child, or by his discovery that he was the illegitimate son of Prince Christian Frederick? Whatever the inspiration, it's a tale that still resonates today.

This week, we're starting a classic science fiction novel, "The First Men in the Moon" by H.G. Wells. It's not as well-known as Wells' other works, but it's equally important. This book seems to be inspired by Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" and is believed to contain the first depiction of 'the alien hive mind'. Many science fiction stories have been influenced by and paid homage to this tale.
