  Title: The Man of the Crowd 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1840 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series: Timeless Terrors 
  Number: 98 
  Description: 
  The Man of the Crowd is a haunting exploration of urban isolation, obsession, and the inscrutable depths of the human soul. The story follows an unnamed narrator convalescing in a London coffeehouse, who becomes fixated on a mysterious old man glimpsed through the window. Compelled by an inexplicable fascination, he follows the stranger through the teeming streets of the city—through markets, alleys, theaters, and slums—only to discover that the man cannot endure solitude and seems condemned to wander endlessly among the masses. 
  Unlike tales driven by overt horror, The Man of the Crowd derives its unease from psychological pursuit and existential mystery. Poe masterfully portrays the modern city as both spectacle and labyrinth—a place where anonymity conceals hidden truths and where proximity does not equal connection. The old man remains unreadable, a living cipher who embodies what the narrator calls “the type and the genius of deep crime,” yet whose secret is never revealed. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Poe’s atmosphere of restless movement and mounting obsession, drawing listeners into a nocturnal journey through shadowed streets and crowded thoroughfares. The Man of the Crowd endures as a foundational work of psychological fiction—where the greatest mystery lies not in what is seen, but in what can never be fully known.

  XOLO - A Novel of Canine Horror

  "Hardcore horror fans should find this blood-splattered novel highly satisfying: Stephen King's Cujo meets Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds." -Paul Goat Allen, BlueInk Review 
  Derek Rains, a nature-loving real estate developer in Colorado, has just adopted a Xolo (also known as a Mexican hairless dog, revered by the Aztecs as the guardians of the underworld). But when the Xolo bites his young son, Derek is forced to abandon the dangerous dog in the woods, where it is picked up by members of a dog-fighting ring. 
  Horrified to see humans forcing dogs to kill each other, the Xolo taps into the ancient powers of its species to convince the other dogs to band together and kill the humans. Now free and wanting revenge on the humans who hurt and abandoned them, the dogs begin killing humans who imprison dogs, growing their ranks in the process. 
  With the killings spreading across the county, the local sheriff’s suspicions fall on Derek, whose dog was the only vicious animal in the county before these attacks. Derek refuses to believe that his animal could be responsible for so much carnage, but when his young son almost becomes the xolo’s next victim, Derek must face up to the facts and put an end to the carnage. 
  XOLO is a fast-paced but literary creature horror novel with a mixture of ferocious action, cinematic atmosphere, Lovecraftian undertones, and well-developed characters, which is the first in a planned trilogy.
