    Denny: I would never pick up a chick at the bar I manage security at, but it’s my night off and I have nowhere else to go. So when a woman I’ve never seen before throws me eyes from across the dance floor, I have to at least buy her a drink. Could I really meet my angel in this place? 
    Vivi: This is my first child free weekend in over four years—my first chance to cut loose, drink, and dance my cares away—and although my friend is hell-bent on finding me a man, I refuse to believe the hot and broody bear of a man across the room could be interested in my mom bod.

    Title: Three and One Are One 
    Author: Ambrose Bierce 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1908 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 88 
    Description: 
    Three and One Are One is a chilling example of Ambrose Bierce’s bleak, cerebral approach to supernatural horror—where logic, identity, and reality fracture under unseen pressure. Told with Bierce’s signature restraint and irony, the story unfolds as a quiet domestic mystery that gradually reveals something profoundly unnatural at its core. 
    Rather than relying on spectacle, Bierce builds terror through implication and intellectual unease. The narrative presents a seemingly impossible condition—three individuals bound by a single, unsettling truth—forcing the listener to confront contradictions that reason cannot resolve. The horror lies not in what is shown, but in what must be accepted. 
    Central to Three and One Are One is Bierce’s fascination with fractured identity, unreliable perception, and the thin boundary between rational explanation and supernatural inevitability. The story suggests that reality itself may be subject to rules we only dimly understand, and that some truths, once perceived, cannot be unseen. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance emphasizes Bierce’s dry precision, mounting dread, and philosophical menace. Three and One Are One remains a striking example of late nineteenth-century weird fiction—where terror emerges from paradox, and certainty dissolves into something far more disturbing.

    The long-awaited return of a quintessentially American storyteller 
     
    "You're as likely to be hit twice by lightning on a Monday as see a wood chipper pull a man into its maw." 
     
    So begins North of Ordinary, John Rolfe Gardiner's virtuosic story collection of survivors getting by despite the odds in a shifting world. In this book, we meet a nervous young apprentice to a weathered tree climber; a dangerously obsessed student at a Southern Bible college; an attractive schemer trying to build an audience for her tiny radio station; an undercover, cross-dressing lawman whose friendship changes the life of a deaf child in a suburban cul-de-sac; and an elderly Black mason whose knowledge of the town's history harbors truths that shake his visitor's foundation. 
     
    Surprising, touching, and deeply humane, the ten stories of North of Ordinary offer an intimate, revelatory look at our fractured society and pull us together through the power of art.

    The expected joy that a few days in a different setting can, and most probably will, make is one of life’s most pleasant pleasures.  Usually.  But in this volume our classic authors including John Buchan, Edith Wharton, E M Delafield, M R James and a host of others really do seem to want to make some of those few days of indolent pleasure into something rather unpleasant.
