Again Sanders

Edgar Wallace

Synopsis

Set along the mysterious rivers and deep forests of colonial Africa, Again Sanders follows the experiences of Commissioner Sanders as he governs the vast and often dangerous territories under British rule. With wit and firmness, Sanders enforces order among the diverse tribes, navigating intricate local customs and dispensing justice from the deck of his little white steamer.
 
As rebellions brew, secret societies rise, and supernatural fears surface among the native peoples, Sanders must rely on his unique understanding of both European governance and tribal traditions to maintain peace—often through unconventional methods.
 
A vivid portrait of colonial rule, adventure, and human nature in Africa emerges through a series of compelling stories.

The Descendent

H. P. Lovecraft

More classic horror narrations on Jonathan's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JonathanDunneHorrorAudiobooks
Title: The Descendant
Author: H. P. Lovecraft
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1938
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 78
Description:
The Descendant is one of H. P. Lovecraft’s most haunting tales — a masterful exploration of ancestral dread, forbidden knowledge, and the encroachment of cosmic terror into the familiar world. The story follows Lord Northam, a reclusive heir to an ancient lineage, as he confronts the legacy of an ancestor whose dealings with unknowable powers have cursed the family for generations. Reality blurs with nightmare, and the familiar becomes a conduit for the unimaginable, creating a pervasive atmosphere of existential unease.
Told with Lovecraft’s trademark blending of psychological tension and cosmic horror, the story examines how knowledge of the incomprehensible can unravel the human mind, and how the past can exert an inexorable influence over the present. Its horror is subtle, relentless, and ineffable, relying on suggestion, mood, and the terror of what lies beyond perception rather than overt spectacle.
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the creeping, oppressive dread that defines Lovecraft’s fiction, immersing listeners in the unnerving legacy of a family shadowed by forces beyond human understanding.
Part of Descendent by H. P. Lovecraft, The Descendant stands as a chilling reminder that some presences — like the weight of forbidden knowledge or the echoes of ancient ancestors — are inescapable and eternally unsettling.

3 Stories About - Life &...

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Bret Harte,...

There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
