The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow tells the story of Ichabod Crane, who is a lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer, Baltus Van Tassel. As Crane leaves a party he attended at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head"...

Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town, leaving Katrina to marry Brom Bones, who was "to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of Ichabod was related". Although the nature of the Headless Horseman is left open to interpretation, the story implies that the Horseman was really Brom in disguise... (Summary by Wikipedia)

Frankenstein full audiobook online free:


Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by Mary Shelley. Mary Shelley started writing the story Frankenstein when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 19 years old.
As a young boy, the man Frankenstein becomes obsessed with studying outdated theories of science that focus on achieving natural wonders. Frankenstein plans to attend university at Ingolstadt Germany. But, a week before his planned departure, Frankenstein's mother dies ironically after curing his sister, Elizabeth, who became ill with scarlet fever. The whole family is aggrieved, and Frankenstein sees the death as his life's first misfortune. At university, Frankenstein excels at chemistry and other sciences and—in part through studying how life decays—discovers the secret to imbuing the inanimate with life. Frankenstein also becomes interested in galvanism, a technique discovered in the 1790s...

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: While the exact details of the monster's construction are left ambiguous, Frankenstein explains that he collected bones from charnel-houses, and "disturbed, with profane fingers, the tremendous secrets of the human frame." Frankenstein also says that the dissecting room and slaughter-house furnished many of his materials. Frankenstein explains that he had been forced to make the monster much larger than a normal man—he estimates it to be about eight feet tall—in part because of the difficulty in replicating the minute parts of the human body. After giving the monster life, Frankenstein is disgusted by and fearful of the monster's appearance. When the monster first comes to life, Victor says, "I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart” (Shelley, Volume One, VII). Frankenstein flees hoping to forget what he has created and attempts to live a normal life. Victor is negligent in every way towards the care of the monster. This creates a life experience for Frankenstein's monster that is painful and lonely. However, the monster is learning valuable life lessons about family and love...

The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde: Typical of the style of the English Decadents, the gothic atmosphere reveals Oscar Wilde's fascination with the macabre. Yet Oscar Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies with symbols of modern American consumerism. Oscar Wilde’s Gothic setting helps emphasize the contrast between cultures—setting modern Americans in what could arguably be a classic symbol of British history—and underscores the "modern" thinking of the house's mismatched residents, the Otises...

The family hears clanking chains, they witness re-appearing bloodstains "on the floor just by the fireplace", and they see strange apparitions in various forms... (Summary from Wikipedia)
