Sinopsis

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.

    A father and his estranged daughter reconnect to try to understand a decades-old trauma in this haunting novel, part ghost story, part lyrical exploration of family, aging, and how we remember the past. 
     
     
     
    At age eleven, Helen disappeared in the wilderness of Mount Rainier National Park while camping with her father, Benjamin. She was gone for almost a week before being discovered and returned to her family. It is now twenty-five years later, and after more than two decades of estrangement, Helen and Benjamin reconnect at his home in Portland, Oregon, to try to understand what happened during the days she was gone. Meanwhile, Benjamin meets an odd pair, a woman and boy who seem driven to help him learn more about Helen's disappearance and send him on a journey that will lead to a murder house, uncanny possession, and a bone-filled body of water known as Sad Clown Lake, a lake "that could only be found by getting lost, that was never in the same place twice." 
     
     
     
    Passersthrough is a haunted, starkly lyrical exploration of family, memory, and the border between life and death.

    Title: The Oval Portrait 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1842 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 5 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Oval Portrait by Edgar Allan Poe is a haunting work of gothic fiction that explores the intersection of art, obsession, and mortality. First published in 1842 in Godey’s Lady’s Book, the story follows a weary traveler who discovers a mysterious, exquisitely detailed portrait of a young woman in a dark, abandoned chateau. 
    As he studies the painting, he learns the tragic story behind it: the artist’s obsessive devotion to capturing his wife’s likeness ultimately leads to her death. Poe’s tale is a chilling meditation on the cost of artistic obsession, the fragility of life, and the tension between beauty and reality. 
    This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, brings the story’s eerie atmosphere and subtle psychological horror to life. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Listeners should expect a brief but unsettling narrative that exemplifies Poe’s mastery of suspense, gothic imagery, and psychological depth.
