Sinopse

D. K. Broster's "Mr. Rowl" is a compelling exploration of the human psyche set against the backdrop of the early 20th century. Through a unique narrative style that seamlessly interweaves psychological depth with a rich, atmospheric setting, Broster delves into themes of illicit desire, social constraints, and moral ambiguity. The novella's carefully crafted prose is marked by vivid descriptions and incisive dialogue, embodying a blend of realism and subtle gothic elements that reflect the tumultuous societal changes of the time. Broster, a Scottish author renowned for her contributions to the genre of psychological fiction, crafted "Mr. Rowl" during a period of personal and societal upheaval. Her interest in human emotions, intuition, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals is clearly reflected in the novella's characters and their struggles. Drawing from her own experiences and the broader literary currents of her time, Broster's narrative mirrors the complex landscapes of human relationships and the unspoken tensions that often underpin them. Readers seeking a profound examination of character and context will find "Mr. Rowl" particularly resonant. Broster's keen insight into the human condition, coupled with her engaging prose, makes this work an essential addition to the study of early 20th-century literature. This novella appeals not only to fans of literary fiction but also to anyone interested in the complexities of desire and morality.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media, narrated by Matthew Schmitz, with full sound production by the Russian Comic Book Geek. 
    Deep in the sweltering jungles of South America, two explorers — Falmer and Thone — stumble upon a forgotten ruin, hidden beneath centuries of tangled growth and silence. Within its shadowed chambers lies an ancient tomb, undisturbed, its secrets sealed in stone and time. 
    But something lingers in the sepulchre. 
    Something old. Something alive. Something that does not sleep. 
    As one of the men becomes obsessed with a strange, unidentifiable seed found within the tomb, the boundary between plant and predator, dream and nightmare, begins to rot and dissolve. What blooms from ancient soil may not be content to remain buried. 
    A lush, unsettling blend of botanical horror and lost-world myth, The Seed from the Sepulchre is Clark Ashton Smith at his most vivid and uncanny — a tale of beauty, dread, and the terrible persistence of life.

    Title: Let Loose 
    Author: Mary Cholmondeley 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1890 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 39 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    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.
