Here's our top 5 episodes - Category: Halloween, sapphic, gothic Sink your teeth into this gothic novella about friendship, temptation and bloodlust. Published in 1872 and written by Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carilla is the first book of its kind featuring a female vampire and themes of sapphic romance. It predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by over 20 years, but remains the lesser-known story, despite being adapted into a few screen versions in recent years.

Here's our top 5 episodes - Category: whimsical, classic, comical If comedic whimsy is your thing, look no further than one of the most beloved classics of all time, written by the Spanish writer Miguel De Cervantes. This novel, published in 1605, tells the story of Don Quixote, an ailing yet energetic man determined to live out his final years as a Knight Errant, much like the tales of the heroes of yore found in his library. Adapted into films, plays and musicals, Don Quixote makes for an easy read and relaxing listen for both younger and older audiences alike.

Here's our top 5 episodes - Category: spooky, Halloween, mystery Always a spooky favourite, Sleepy Hollow has made spines shiver since the American writer, Washington Irving, wrote it in 1820. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a harmless and romantic schoolteacher in the town of Sleepy Hollow, Massachusetts, who has a terrifying run-in with one of their most feared local spectres, the legendary Headless Horseman. A very well-known short story, Sleepy Hollow, has gone on to be adapted into many stage, film and animated productions, and is still an inspiration today.

Here's our top 5 episodes - Category: cosy, classic, heart-warming An episode from our exciting Guest Reader series, Voice Actor Sarah McPhee, reads us the first chapter of this timeless tale. Anne Shirley is a 9-year-old orphan, adopted by brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who take her to live at their farm, Green Gables. The chapters that follow take us through the years of Anne's life, from finding her feet and making friends as a child, to leaving home as a teenager. Sarah masterfully reads us the first chapter and takes us through her connection to the story, and who knows? Maybe we'll continue the book as a series.
