  The Metamorphosis

  The Metamorphosis** is a powerful narrative that revolves around the harrowing tale of a young man named Gregor Samsa, who, after a night filled with restless dreams, awakens to find himself inexplicably transformed into a grotesque, beetle-like creature. This sudden and horrifying change casts him into a punishingly lonely existence, forcing him to confront the shame and disgrace he brings upon his family. In his new form, Gregor feels like a stranger in his own home, epitomizing the experience of alienation that many feel in their lives.  
  The story opens with a vivid description of Gregor’s shocking transformation. As he lies in bed, his back now covered in a hard, armor-like shell, he struggles to comprehend his new reality. Lifting his head slightly, he gazes down at his grotesque body – a vast, domed belly segmented and rigid, almost as if it were made from a thick, impenetrable material. The bed quilt, once a comforting presence, now teeters precariously atop him, threatening to slip away and expose the full extent of his bizarre predicament. His legs, thin and weak in comparison to the mass of his body, flail aimlessly before him, a pitiful sight that reinforces his helplessness. This striking imagery frames a profound exploration of human emotions: inadequacy, guilt, and the suffocating sense of isolation that can consume one’s existence.

  Title: The Tree 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1921 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 33 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Tree by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting parable of art, envy, and the quiet vengeance of nature — a story where beauty and death grow from the same root. Set in ancient Greece, it tells of two sculptors, Musides and Kalos, whose friendship and creative genius draw the admiration of all who know them. Yet when jealousy, death, and strange growths intertwine, the boundaries between art and decay dissolve into something both poetic and terrible. 
  Lovecraft’s tale departs from his usual cosmic scale to reveal horror in the natural and the human — a mythic meditation on pride, mortality, and the price of creative rivalry. Beneath its serene surface lies a creeping inevitability, where the living and the dead are bound by the same relentless cycle. 
  Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the story’s classical rhythm and tragic atmosphere — the stillness of marble, the whisper of leaves, and the final, inescapable judgment of the earth itself. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the great voices of the uncanny, The Tree stands as a tale of eerie beauty and timeless punishment — where the roots of envy reach far deeper than the grave. 
  Prepare for a story carved in stone and shadow, where art becomes epitaph and the living are outlasted by what they create.

  "The Golem" by Gustav Meyrink is a mesmerizing novel that blends Gothic elements with mysticism, set in the mysterious backdrop of Prague's Jewish ghetto at the beginning of the 20th century. 
  The main protagonist, Athanasius Pernath, a gem engraver, receives a mysterious book for restoration one day. This event becomes the catalyst for a series of extraordinary occurrences that force him to confront his own demons and the enigma of his identity. As the story unfolds, reality intertwines with dreams, present with past, and mystical Jewish legends become entangled with the dark reality of Prague's ghetto. 
  At the heart of the narrative lies the legend of the Golem - an artificial man created from clay by a medieval rabbi, who according to urban legends returns to Prague's streets every 33 years. However, in Meyrink's novel, the Golem becomes more than just a folkloric figure - it transforms into a symbol of the deeply rooted fears and desires of the ghetto's inhabitants.

  When Francine's estranged sister, Madeleine, returns to the manor after years away, she brings with her a story that threatens everything Francine has always believed.

  As moving and poignant as it is chilling, Her Little Flowers is a story of grief and enduring love—and of the haunting regrets only forgiveness can dispel.

  Winner of Spain's Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 2023 
   
   
   
  Summer ends, the season changes, and Coro, an artist frightened off by what her own paintings may represent, gets in her car and drives for hours in the middle of the night until she chances upon Betania, an isolated house existing in a world of its own. It's an unfamiliar place inhabited exclusively by women who, strangely, all seem to know her. 
   
   
   
  Like adherents of an ancient cult, the women of Betania all dress the same, carry out strange rites and celebrations, and live alongside goats and innumerable dogs against a landscape dominated by an immense, imposing mountain that seems to block out the sunlight. Theirs is a hierarchical, closed, and restless universe where—as the other women tell her and despite her attempts to escape the area—Coro may finally discover what it means to be part of something. 
   
   
   
  A "Hotel California" of the human heart, Pilar Adon's Of Beasts and Fowl is a novel about the things that we do without knowing why, but that have an explanation that perhaps we will some day come to understand.
