Sinopse

Rum, a sailing ship, and a dare…   …What could go wrong?   Edgar Allan Poe’s only complete novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first adventure stories set in and around the Antarctic, which at the time was a place of mystery and the unknown.   Pym takes us on an adventure across the seas to uncharted southern lands that are fraught with danger. With shipwrecks, murder, mutiny, and, yes, cannibalism, this tale has it all. First published in 1838, midway between Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Poe’s Pym echoes one and presages the other while delving even deeper into the darkness of men’s souls.   This new edition, with a new Foreword by New York Times best-selling author and Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, brings the classic tale back to life. Not for the faint of heart, Poe’s novel, which inspired H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, and many others, reflects the wonder and dangers of exploring the unknown.

    The Apparition of Mrs. Veal is a pamphlet published in 1706, often attributed to Daniel Defoe, and is considered one of the first modern ghost stories.

    On September 8, 1705, Mrs. Bargrave is surprised when Mrs. Veal knocks on her door at noon, dressed in a riding habit. The two women engage in a heartfelt conversation where Mrs. Veal expresses a desire to reconnect before embarking on a journey. She discusses their shared past, including books they read together about death and friendship, and asks Mrs. Bargrave to write a letter to her brother regarding her possessions, including a purse of gold.Despite Mrs. Bargrave's initial joy at the reunion, she becomes increasingly unsettled by the peculiar nature of their conversation and Mrs. Veal's refusal to touch anything due to her discomfort. After an hour and three-quarters of conversation, Mrs. Veal hastily departs, leaving Mrs. Bargrave bewildered.

    Title: A Ghost 
    Author: Guy de Maupassant 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1887 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 51 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    In A Ghost, Guy de Maupassant delivers a story of quiet horror and spectral melancholy, blending realism with the uncanny precision that made him one of the masters of psychological terror. The tale begins with a gentleman recounting a seemingly ordinary visit to a friend’s old Norman chateau — only to find himself drawn into a midnight encounter that defies reason and chills the soul. 
    Maupassant’s prose, spare yet deeply atmospheric, evokes a world where memory, longing, and the supernatural converge. The ghost that manifests is not merely an apparition, but a haunting embodiment of loss, loneliness, and the fragile boundary between the living and the dead. 
    Narrated by bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this new performance captures the hypnotic tension and eerie elegance of Maupassant’s vision. Every word lingers like a whisper in an empty room, every pause weighted with dread. 
    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, A Ghost stands as a haunting reflection on mortality and the unseen forces that linger just beyond perception — a tale that proves the simplest stories can cast the deepest shadows.
