    Title: The Moonlit Road 
    Author: Ambrose Bierce 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1907 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 67 
    Description: 
    The Moonlit Road is one of Ambrose Bierce’s most chilling and psychologically complex tales — a masterclass in suspense, moral horror, and the haunting distortions of memory. Told through three interwoven perspectives, the story follows a quiet country road bathed in moonlight, where a seemingly ordinary walk conceals a brutal crime. A husband recounts the events with detached calm, a grieving mother seeks desperately for the truth, and finally, the dead themselves reveal what the living refuse to see. Each perspective deepens the unease, exposing guilt, cruelty, and the inescapable consequences of self-deception. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Bierce’s razor-sharp insight, dark irony, and moral complexity to life. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest ghost and horror stories ever written, The Moonlit Road is a stark reminder that the truth may linger long after death has spoken. 🕯️

    Nora Lange's debut novel, Us Fools, was praised as the "Great American Novel" by Molly Young in the New York Times, and "a razor-sharp critique of American capitalism" by Michael Schaub at NPR. Now, she turns her eye toward the daily exercise of getting by.In "Heart Beats," Carol and David arrive late to a Boston dinner party for a night of "messy socializing" with other couples, including a former cult-leader turned financial-advisor and a woman who learned of a "kinky sort of game" while riding public transit. In "Island of Phaetons," an expatriate living in Istanbul is called away from her daily life with "the husband" and "the friend who wanted more than friendship" to visit her mother, who notoriously makes bad decisions, and who has just arrived in Greece "with news" for her daughter, a tantalizing invitation that has her daughter immediately on a plane. In "Dog Star," two figurines live out their dreams before succumbing to the truth that they have been assembled inside of a snow globe and will never go anywhere. In the title story, a new mother in Los Angeles navigates a job, a long-distance relationship with her husband, and her visiting mother, while hoping to find relief in daytime app sex.Day Care is a biting reflection on economic precarity, love, and peeing your pants.

    Written in the first four months of the war in Ukraine, fuelled by anger towards mindless violence, Němec's stories tackle the present moment and confront what really matters at times of abundant destruction.
    
    A Czech man in Ukraine in search of his alter ego. A gang of homeless kids driven from a cellar by tenants using it as a shelter from the war. A German couple who 'rented a womb' in Ukraine, whose child is now stuck in Kyiv. A teenager partnered with a Valkyrie for the distribution of lavash in besieged Mariupol delays his flight until it is too late. A Russian academic mounting a protest in the center of Moscow dressed in a costume from Swan Lake. They may not be soldiers at the front, but for the characters in these stories, life will never again be as it was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In this collection of short stories-two set in Ukraine, two in the West, and one in Russia-Czech author Jan Němec has produced a work of remarkable immediacy.
