More classic horror narrations on Jonathan's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JonathanDunneHorrorAudiobooks Title: The White Ship Author: H. P. Lovecraft Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1919 Public Domain: Yes Series: Timeless Terrors Number: 102 Description: The White Ship is a haunting and dream-laden voyage into realms beyond mortal reckoning, where longing becomes both compass and curse. Set upon a lonely headland overlooking an ancient sea, the tale follows Basil Elton, a solitary lighthouse keeper who is summoned by a mysterious white vessel to sail toward lands of impossible beauty and perilous promise. Each shore he visits offers visions of wonder, knowledge, and transcendence—yet beneath their splendor lies a growing sense of cosmic inevitability and loss. In this early masterwork, H. P. Lovecraft crafts a lyrical meditation on aspiration, illusion, and the fragile boundary between dream and waking ruin. The prose drifts with hypnotic elegance, yet carries an undercurrent of dread, as each paradise reveals itself to be but another veil before ultimate disillusionment. Themes of yearning, forbidden wisdom, and the indifferent vastness of the cosmos echo throughout the voyage, culminating in a revelation as stark and unforgiving as the sea itself. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s ethereal beauty and creeping melancholy, drawing listeners into a reverie where hope and hubris sail hand in hand. The White Ship endures as a timeless exploration of the human hunger for transcendence—and the devastating cost of pursuing realms never meant for mortal souls.Mostra libro
They arrive alive. They always leave dead. But first, they give me their confessions. Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and like to read books like The Bird Box and The Haunting are going to enjoy reading the deathbed confessions from The Asylum. My name is Jack Steen and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers and they know me as the Angel of Death. When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their story, the one that hasn't been read about in the news, sensationalized by media or cataloged in a ridiculous number of academic papers. I want the real story - the one they haven't told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. But only if they play nice and tell me their confessions. The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take. And now...they might just be playing with yours too. Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions: Patient 1024 has an interesting 'appetite'. Patient 974 is the Ken to his Barbie, and he would do anything to keep her happy. Patient 871 is a Nanny, but not one you want watching your kids. Patient 1203 is the sweetest, broken soul you'll ever meet but her confession is a hard read.Mostra libro

The Sun has gone out and the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, nearly eight miles high – the Last Redoubt, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of Energy, known as the "air clog", powered from a subterranean energy source called the "Earth Current". For millennia, vast living shapes—the Watchers—have waited in the darkness near the pyramid. It is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.To leave the protection of the Circle means almost certain death, or worse an ultimate destruction of the soul. As the story commences, the narrator establishes mind contact with an inhabitant of another, forgotten Lesser Redoubt. First one expedition sets off to succor the inhabitants of the Lesser Redoubt, whose own Earth Current has been exhausted, only to meet with disaster. After that the narrator sets off alone into the darkness to find the girl he has made contact with, knowing now that she is the reincarnation of his past love.H. P. Lovecraft describes the novel as "one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written". Clark Ashton Smith wrote of it that "In all literature, there are few works so sheerly remarkable, so purely creative, as The Night Land. - Summary by WikipediaMostra libro
