The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

This is a collection of the best leadership speeches, gave by the most outstanding leaders of our generation. 

In this edition, we hear, translated into modern English, 20-some tales, told in the voices of knight and merchant, wife and miller, squire and nun, and many more. Some are bawdy, some spiritual, some romantic, some mysterious, some chivalrous. Between the stories, the travelers converse, joke, and argue, revealing much about their individual outlooks upon life as well as what life was like in late 14th-century England.

With school over, he lands his dream job at Skateboard Kingdom and wastes no time getting in over his head.

With humour and heart, he recounts his bad-boy antics and the resilience and refuge that intense male friendships can provide.

In 1995, 12-year-old Sidney Parsons was savagely murdered by two boys his own age.

There is more to the Bible than we ever imagined. It conceals profound mysteries and hidden secrets previously reserved for the initiated. For millennia, the world has revered the words of this ancient book and countless legions have died defending it. Even today, in the 21st century, heated debates are fought every day over the truth which lies within. But there is much more to this archaic document than meets the eye. 

It's the most popular book of all time. It's packed with stories, fables, mythology, factual historical events, poetry, and prose, and of course revelation. It has been debated and fought over for centuries - it is, of course, the Bible and it holds sacred divine messages that we are only now beginning to decipher. The truth about Jesus and Mary and the shocking origins to the human race are explored with new insight into the Bible's secret codes.
