  Twenty years ago, Barney the Dinosaur told the nation's children they were special. We're still paying the price.   From "one of the funniest writers in America" comes a collection of stories culled from the front lines of the millennial culture wars (Jimmy So, Daily Beast). Rife with failing rock bands, student loans, and participation trophies, Spoiled Brats is about a generation of narcissists -- and the well-meaning boomers who made them that way.  A hardworking immigrant is preserved for a century in pickle brine. A helicopter mom strives to educate her demon son. And a family of hamsters struggles to survive in a private-school homeroom. Surreal, shrewd, and surprisingly warm, these stories are as resonant as they are hilarious.

  Thirteen tales of terror—from the macabre and morbid to unexplainable stories of the occult—from such authors as Harry Houdini, H. P. Lovecraft, and others.    First hitting newsstands in 1923, Weird Tales magazine quickly became a literary monster in discovering and publishing the best horror, sci-fi and fantasy writers of its day.   The pulp magazine was one of the earliest publications, if not the first, to feature strange tales of occultism and alien invasions that simply didn’t fit into any other magazine at that time.   The stories struck a chord with those early audiences, and as a result, Weird Tales created a subgenre as “weird” could be attached itself to various genres.   Marquee names like master magician Harry Houdini and cosmic horror creator H. P. Lovecraft graced the magazine’s pages during those early years with several debut stories, alongside authors who were already giants in their own right—Otis Adelbert Kline, Seabury Quinn, and Greye La Spina. Maybe lesser known, but no less influential, writers like Frank Belknap Long Jr., Mary S. Brown, Lyllian Huntley Harris, Hasan Vokine, Arthur J. Burks, and H. Warner Munn turned out disturbing yarns that have stood the test of time only to be resurrected nearly a century later.   This collection features those early authors across thirteen spooky stories from the impactful years of 1923 to 1925 that are best enjoyed at the witching hour.   Reading ritual aside, you’ve been warned.

  Title: Who Knows? 
  Series Name: Timeless Terrors 
  Series Entry: 128 
  Author: Guy de Maupassant 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1890

  Description: 
  Who Knows? is a chilling psychological tale by Guy de Maupassant, the French master of realism and the uncanny. First published in 1890, this disturbing short story explores the fragile boundary between reason and madness in a world that may not be as stable—or as controllable—as we believe. 
  The story follows a cultivated and rational gentleman living alone in a quiet country house. His life is orderly, peaceful, and governed by logic—until one night he witnesses something impossible. Without warning or explanation, the furniture in his home begins to move on its own. Chairs slide across the floor, objects vanish, and his possessions seem animated by an unseen will. What begins as bewilderment slowly curdles into dread. 
  As the phenomenon escalates, the narrator struggles to maintain his sanity. Is he the victim of an elaborate trick? A descent into madness? Or has he glimpsed a hidden reality in which inanimate objects possess their own mysterious existence? Maupassant masterfully sustains ambiguity, leaving both narrator and reader trapped in uncertainty. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the mounting paranoia, subtle irony, and creeping existential dread that make Who Knows? a timeless study in quiet horror—where the greatest fear lies not in what is seen, but in what cannot be explained.

  Title: Rats 
  Author: M. R. James 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1929 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 63 
  Description: 
  Rats is one of M. R. James’ most quietly terrifying tales — a masterclass in suggestion, atmosphere, and the dread of what lurks just out of view. Set in a decaying, isolated inn on the Suffolk coast, the story follows a solitary traveler who becomes curious about a locked upstairs room that the landlord insists is overrun by rats. The noises behind the walls, the heavy scuffling overhead, and the strange behavior of the innkeeper all point to something unnatural hiding in the shadows. 
  But when the narrator forces the door and enters the forbidden chamber, he discovers that what lies beneath the bedclothes is not a rat — nor anything that should still exist. James builds fear through restraint and implication, letting horror emerge from small details: a shifting weight, a half-seen shape, a dreadful suggestion of something once human. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings out the creeping tension and cold, scholarly terror that define M. R. James’ work. While the text itself is firmly in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest ghost stories ever written, Rats is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most frightening creatures are not the ones we expect — and that some doors should never be opened. 🕯️
