Description:
Silence: A Fable is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most haunting and introspective works — a meditation on isolation, the human soul, and the subtle terrors that dwell in stillness itself. The story follows a lone traveler who encounters an otherworldly figure in a desolate, silent landscape. Through cryptic dialogue and atmospheric detail, Poe explores themes of mortality, existential dread, and the ineffable forces that govern life and death.
The horror in Silence: A Fable arises not from action or gore, but from the oppressive quiet that permeates every scene — a silence so profound it becomes almost a tangible presence. Shadows, echoes, and the interplay between light and dark create an atmosphere of uncanny tension, reminding readers that human perception is fragile and limited.
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the ethereal dread, reflective melancholy, and enigmatic beauty of Poe’s prose. While the text itself is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classics of horror, Silence: A Fable is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most terrifying forces are not seen or heard — but felt, in the spaces between. 🕯️
