  Title: The Music of Erich Zann 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1922 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 29 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Music of Erich Zann by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting exploration of madness, sound, and the fragile barrier between worlds. In a shadowed quarter of an ancient city, a student discovers a reclusive musician whose eerie, otherworldly compositions seem to keep at bay horrors unseen. What begins as fascination soon descends into terror, as the power behind Zann’s music and the darkness beyond his window are revealed. 
  Through Lovecraft’s vivid and claustrophobic imagery, this tale captures the essence of his cosmic philosophy — that there are realms of existence beyond human perception, and that art itself can be both a shield and a summons. The result is one of Lovecraft’s most atmospheric and psychologically intense stories. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the story’s spectral tone and mounting dread — a symphony of terror rendered in voice. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the great works of Gothic and cosmic horror, The Music of Erich Zann resonates as a chilling hymn to the unknowable — where melody becomes madness, and silence is more dreadful than sound. 
  Prepare for a tale of haunting music, unseen worlds, and a final note that echoes beyond the limits of sanity.

  Mary Frances Butts was born on 13th December 1890 in Poole, Dorset. 
  Her early years were spent at Salterns, an 18th-century house overlooking Poole Harbour.  Sadly in 1905 her father died, and she was sent for boarding at St Leonard's school for girls in St Andrews. 
  Her mother remarried and, from 1909, Mary studied at Westfield College in London, and here, first became aware of her bisexual feelings.  She was sent down for organising a trip to Epsom races and only completed her degree in 1914 when she graduated from the London School of Economics.  By then Mary had become an admirer of the occultist Aleister Crowley and she was given a co-authorship credit on his ‘Magick (Book 4)’. 
  In 1916, she began the diary which would now detail her future life and be a constant reference point for her observations and her absorbing experiences. 
  During World War I, she was doing social work for the London County Council in Hackney Wick, and involved in a lesbian relationship.  Life changed after meeting the modernist poet, John Rodker and they married in 1918. 
  In 1921 she spent 3 months at Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema in Sicily; she found the practices dreadful and also acquired a drug habit.  Mary now spent time writing in Dorset, including her celebrated book of short stories ‘Speed the Plough’ which saw fully develop her unique Modernist prose style. 
  Europe now beckoned and several years were spent in Paris befriending many artists and writing further extraordinary stories.   
  She was continually sought after by literary magazines and also published several short story collections as books. Although a Modernist writer she worked in other genres but is essentially only known for her short stories.  Mary was deeply committed to nature conservation and wrote several pamphlets attacking the growing pollution of the countryside. 
  In 1927, she divorced and the following year her novel ‘Armed with Madness’ was published.  A further marriage followed in 1930 and time was spent attempting to settle in London and Newcastle before setting up home on the western tip of Cornwall.  By 1934 the marriage had failed. 
  Mary Butts died on 5th March 1937, at the West Cornwall Hospital, Penzance, after an operation for a perforated gastric ulcer. She was 46.

  "True courage is not the absence of fear, but the determination to act despite it."
  
  In the winter of 1854 Tolstoy, then an officer in the Russian army, arranged to be transferred to the besieged town of Sevastopol in Crimea. The three Sevastopol Sketches draw upon his real life experiences during the siege to create a profound commentary on the realities of war, illustrating both the physical challenges and the emotional struggles faced by those engaged in conflict, soldiers and civilians alike.
  
  Through a combination of vivid imagery, personal experiences, and philosophical reflection, Tolstoy challenged his audience to confront the harsh realities of conflict and the moral implications that arise from it. These works played a crucial role in shaping Tolstoy's career, solidifying his reputation as a significant writer and a serious commentator on social issues.
  Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.
