    Title: The Yellow Wallpaper 
    Author: Charlotte Perkins Gilman 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1892 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 4 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a groundbreaking work of psychological horror and early feminist literature. First published in 1892 in The New England Magazine, it tells the story of a woman suffering from postpartum depression who is confined to a room by her physician husband under the guise of a “rest cure.” 
    As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room’s grotesque yellow wallpaper, her mind unravels in a chilling descent into madness. Gilman’s story is both a critique of the oppressive medical and social attitudes of her time and a powerful exploration of mental health, autonomy, and the dangers of silencing women. 
    This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the story’s creeping dread and psychological intensity. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Listeners should expect an unsettling, claustrophobic tale that remains one of the most influential and enduring pieces of American gothic literature.

    Author Randall Morgan is on his way home after spending fourteen days in the secluded cabin where he always goes to write the endings of his books. However, when he arrives in his hometown, East Alin, he is greeted by a disturbing sight. 
    At a traffic light near the city limits, someone has turned a lamppost into a makeshift gallows, and in it a man–dead and decomposing–hangs. 
    The sight of the hanged man is terrifying in itself, but it soon dawns on Randall that there are other–and far greater–problems in the small town. Because while he is waiting in his car for the police to show up, several people pass by the crime scene - and not a single one of them reacts to the fact that a dead man is hanging in the middle of the street. 
    Something has gone completely wrong in East Alin while Randall has been away.
