Synopsis

Ten short stories set in the grill room of the Milan Hotel in London.
The first nine stories in this collection were “syndicated,” and published during the 1930s in British, American, Australian and other magazines. The tenth story was probably written specifically to complete this book collection, and was not published in a magazine until as late as 1967. A sequel, “The Milan Grill Room,” was published in 1940.
The two books star Louis, the disabled maître d’hôtel, and Charles Lyson, ex-intelligence agent and now freelance journalist.
Collection of stories: “The Mayor of Ballydaghan,” “Tragedy Dined With Lord Blunt,” “A Rough-House at Elstree,” “The Third Shot,” “The Hour of Reckoning,” “Murder at the Milan,” “Julie Joins the Force,” “The Three Strangers,” “Bunglers at the Game” and “The Flower of Death.”
Disponible depuis: 30/09/2022.

    These loosely connected stories are laced with the familiar and the uncanny, the real and the surreal, the ordinary and the fabulistic. A documentary filmmaker refuses to give up on finding his daughter who mysteriously disappears by the river. A small-time real estate agent recovers from a brief psychotic episode upon discovering his fiancée's affair. An actress struggles to grasp reality when the recordings of lucid dreams are used in movies instead of live performances. An eccentric teenager recounts his first romance from beyond the grave. 
     
     
     
    Spanning the boundaries of literary and speculative fiction, The Reincarnations revolves around multiple forms of Zenlike rebirth. Equal parts raw emotion and wild imagination, Nathan Elias's debut story collection ushers in an electrifying yet tender new voice in fiction.

    Title: An Inhabitant of Carcosa 
    Author: Ambrose Bierce 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1886 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 46 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    An Inhabitant of Carcosa by Ambrose Bierce is a haunting vision of death, memory, and cosmic revelation. In a desolate landscape shrouded in silence, a lost soul named Hoseib wanders among ancient ruins, struggling to recall who he is and how he came to be there. As he journeys through the remnants of a forgotten civilization, a terrible truth emerges — he walks through the ruins of his own world, long dead and buried. 
    Through its eerie stillness and philosophical depth, Bierce’s story anticipates the cosmic unease later explored by Chambers and Lovecraft. It is one of the earliest works to hint at a vast, indifferent universe — where death is not an ending, but an eternal realization. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the quiet terror and melancholy beauty of Bierce’s prose — the slow unveiling of mortality beneath a sky where even the stars seem mournful. 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 and uncanny, An Inhabitant of Carcosa endures as a cornerstone of early cosmic horror — a whisper from the grave reminding us that the dead may still walk among the ruins.
