  "Metamorphosis" is one of Franz Kafka's most renowned and influential works. It tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who awakens one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect-like creature. The narrative delves into the profound alienation, guilt, and absurdity experienced by Samsa, who becomes an outcast in his own home and a source of shame and revulsion to his family. Kafka's novella is a powerful exploration of human identity, the nature of existence, and societal reactions to the unfamiliar and grotesque.

  Description: 
  Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley is a tale of forbidden curiosity and ancestral dread — a Gothic masterpiece that fuses the haunted past with the peril of modern discovery. First published in the late Victorian era, it stands as one of the most unsettling explorations of the supernatural in English fiction. 
  When an architect is summoned to restore a decaying abbey, he unwittingly disturbs a tomb long sealed — and unleashes a terror bound by sacred warning. Cholmondeley’s story unfolds with elegant restraint and rising unease, revealing that the boundaries between the living and the dead are more fragile than reason admits. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the tale’s chilling atmosphere — the echoing corridors, the whisper of desecrated dust, and the growing certainty that some doors, once opened, can never again be closed. 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, Let Loose stands as a warning from the past — that reverence ignored and curiosity unchained can awaken horrors best left entombed.

  W B Yeats

  William Butler Yeats was born in Sandymount in County Dublin, Ireland on 13th June 1865. 
  His early years moved between Ireland and England. By his mid-teens he was writing but those works were described as ‘entirely Un-Irish’.  With Ernest Rhys he founded the Rhymers Club. Based at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street it’s best described as a drinking club for performing poets.  Yeats later cited them as ‘The Tragic Generation’.  By now Yeats was writing and publishing poetry and stories that were profoundly based in Irish folklore.   
  Yeats is perhaps best described as Ireland’s national poet in addition to being one of the major twentieth-century literary figures of the English tongue. He represents the ‘Romantic poet of modernism,’ with an extraordinary style created from the outward emphasis on the expression of emotions and the extensive use of symbolism, imagery and allusions.  
  In 1923 his fame was brought to an even wider audience when he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.  
  His personal life was driven by his many relationships in love and by his great interest in oriental mysticism and occultism.  Yeats also wrote prose and drama and, as an ardent Nationalist, established himself as a spokesman of the Irish cause and served as an Irish senator for two terms.  
  W B Yeats died at the Hôtel Idéal Séjour, in Menton, France, on 28th January 1939.  He was 73.
