Children of the Cliff is a compelling anthology that captures the nuances of youthful discovery and adventure, bridging the realms of fantasy and reality. This collection weaves together diverse narratives and poetic forms to explore the innocence and curiosity inherent in childhood. Each piece stands out for its imaginative storytelling and rich imagery, evoking the spirit of adventure and the awe of natural landscapes that children often experience. As the collection traverses through various literary styles, from lyrical poetry to evocative short stories, it offers a mosaic of young voices and their unique interpretations of life on the enigmatic periphery represented by the 'cliff.' Authored by Grace Willard Edick and Belle Wiley, this anthology draws from a wellspring of both authors' insights into childhood and nature's interplay. Edick and Wiley craft each tale and poem with careful attention to the subtleties of their themes, underscoring a collective contribution that resonates with the broader traditions of children's literature. Their collaborative effort reflects the cultural and literary movements that surround children'Äôs experiences, deftly balancing imaginative freedom with moral underpinnings. This multi-faceted approach enriches the reader's perspective, aligning with both historical and modern understandings of childhood exploration. Readers are invited to delve into Children of the Cliff for an enlightening literary journey through the eyes of youth. The anthology offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with a spectrum of voices and styles, each contributing to a dialogue on the symmetry between innocence and exploration. Ideal for both casual readers and scholars, this collection serves as a testament to the profound educational value of understanding diverse childhood experiences, inviting reflection on the timeless wonder that the 'cliff' symbolizes.

    Title: The Imp of the Perverse 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1845 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 44 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Imp of the Perverse by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling exploration of the human compulsion toward self-destruction — that sinister whisper urging us to do precisely what we know we must not. Told in Poe’s hypnotic, confessional style, the story begins as a philosophical essay on impulse and perversity, then descends into the fevered confession of a murderer undone by his own mind. 
    This tale reveals Poe at his most psychologically incisive, dissecting guilt, pride, and the dark delight of defiance. Beneath its gothic calm lies a truth as disturbing now as in 1845 — that the greatest horror may be found not in the supernatural, but in the secret architecture of the human soul. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes Poe’s morbid eloquence and the relentless pull of conscience that drives his doomed narrator to madness. 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 masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Imp of the Perversestands as one of Poe’s most haunting studies of inner torment — a reminder that sometimes, the truest demon wears our own face.

    Collected here are six tales that span nearly two thousand years, from a Roman citizen writing a satire of the ‘historical’ literature of his time in 182 AD to Edgar Allan Poe exploring the idea of a scientific ascent to the moon in 1835. Humanity changed vastly across that time, and yet the moon never lost its allure, its promise of mystery and magic. By the late nineteenth century, it was clear that the moon’s surface was barren, and a wave of moon-based stories inaugurated the expansion into space of fiction. 
    Before we breached the atmosphere and sent men to our planet’s satellite, humanity spent countless millennia gazing up at the moon and wondering what might be there, telling stories by firelight of the mystery and magic of our constant and changing night-time companion.

    Oliver and his daughter, Katie, are looking forward to visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. Ever since Katie's mother passed away, the holidays haven't been the same, but Oliver is determined to give his daughter a magical Christmas, complete with the woods, roaring fires and jolly snowmen. Little does he know, they aren't alone in this wintry wilderness. 
     
    While Oliver and Katie make their way along the icy roads, Dan and his girlfriend, Nadia, are experiencing a journey of their own out in the woods. The hike might seem like a romantic adventure to Nadia, but it's something far more important to Dan. He's on a quest to find the evil spirits hiding in this frozen landscape so he can become the hero who slayed the monsters. The voice in his head is insistent on the importance of his mission. But when Dan can't find any monsters to kill, it's everyone else who will need to be afraid of him and the darkness lurking within.
