  "Ex Oblivione" is a prose poem by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in late 1920 or early 1921 and first published in The United Amateur in March 1921, under the pseudonym Ward Phillips.It is written in first person and tells of the dreams of a presumably dying man. In his dreams, the man is walking through a valley and encounters a vine-covered wall with a locked bronze gate therein. He longs to know what lies beyond the gate. Then one night, the man dreams of the dream-city Zakarion, in which he finds a yellowed papyrus written by wise dream-sages who exist only within the dream world. The papyrus tells of the gate, with varying accounts of what lies beyond: some of the dream-sages tell of immense wonders, while others tell of horror and disappointment. Despite this lack of unanimity, the man still wishes to see for himself, even knowing that whichever of these is true, there will be no return. Thus he reads further into the papyrus and learns of a drug which will unlock the gate. The next night he swallows the drug and returns to the gate which is now ajar, but upon entering, he discovers that indeed both accounts within the papyrus are in a sense true: beyond is the wonderment of forever being free from the pain of the real world and the happy surprise that nothing lies beyond the gate but the infinite void that is death.

  A baby will never be born at Blackwater. 
   
  There is much that heavily pregnant Grace still doesn’t know about her new husband King’s background. So, when word comes that King’s father is dying, Grace is eager to accompany him to his childhood home, Blackwater, located in a remote part of Tasmania. 
   
  Things go badly from the start. The house is in terrible repair, King’s dying father yells at Grace to leave and King’s twin sister, Ruth, seems disturbed by Grace’s presence. After his father’s death, King convinces Grace they must stay and help Ruth settle the estate, but as time stretches on he grows strange and distant. When Grace learns about Blackwater’s dark history, she begins to fear that it is the house itself exerting an evil influence on her husband. 
   
  Feeling increasingly isolated, and with the birth of her child looming, Grace knows she must uncover the secrets of Blackwater if she hopes to free her family from its grip. 
   
  ‘A riveting story that twists present with a horrifying past. Blackwater is Australian Gothic at its finest.’ ANNA SNOEKSTRA 
   
  ‘A compelling, atmospheric and immensely satisfying novel containing echoes of Stephen King and Daphne du Maurier.’ CHRIS WOMERSLEY

  Title: The Pit and the Pendulum 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1842 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 32 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe is a harrowing descent into psychological and physical torment — a masterpiece of suspense that explores the extremities of fear and the indomitable will to survive. Set during the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, a condemned man awakens in a pitch-black chamber where terror comes not from the unseen alone, but from the cruel machinery of death itself. 
  Through meticulous pacing and sensory detail, Poe transforms the simple elements of darkness, time, and confinement into instruments of unbearable dread. The swinging blade, the narrowing walls, and the unseen abyss below merge into a nightmare of pure existential terror. 
  Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Poe’s rhythm of panic and revelation — the tightening pulse of a man struggling against both despair and death. 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 classic voices of the macabre, The Pit and the Pendulumendures as one of literature’s most visceral portrayals of horror — a story where every heartbeat echoes the pendulum’s swing, and every breath might be the last. 
  Prepare for a journey into darkness, dread, and the thin line between reason and madness — a tale that proves the greatest terror is to be conscious while facing the inevitable.

  The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde. A shorter novella-length version was published in the July 1890 American periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine issue. The novel-length version was published in April 1891. 
  The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray painted by Basil Hallward, a friend of Dorian's and an artist infatuated with Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton and is soon enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: beauty and sensual fulfillment are the only things worth pursuing. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian desires to sell his soul to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. 
  The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and visually records every one of Dorian's sins.
