  Title: Polaris 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1920 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 43 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  Polaris by H. P. Lovecraft is a dreamlike descent into obsession, identity, and cosmic futility. Set beneath the eerie shimmer of the North Star, it unfolds as both a tale of ancient war and a fevered vision of a soul caught between two worlds — the waking and the eternal. 
  The narrator, haunted by dreams of a lost city beneath the Arctic light, becomes convinced he is the reincarnation of a watchman doomed to fail in his sacred duty. As memory, madness, and destiny blur, Polaris becomes a meditation on guilt and the insignificance of man beneath the indifferent stars. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Lovecraft’s hypnotic rhythm and the slow unravelling of sanity that defines his early cosmic vision — the sense that truth may be glimpsed only in dreams, and that awakening brings no escape. 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, Polaris endures as an early glimpse of Lovecraft’s cosmic dread — a haunting reminder that even the stars above may whisper our doom.

  The Dunwich Horror — Part 9 of 10

  Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s descent into cosmic nightmare: The Dunwich Horror. 
  The devastation left in the wake of the unseen horror deepens. Across the battered hills of Dunwich, homes lie in ruin, fields are torn apart, and the air itself feels wrong — twisted by the passage of something that should not exist. The invisible behemoth roams beyond human reach, and fear has become an inescapable presence in the countryside. 
  In the aftermath, hope flickers for the first time. A small band of scholars prepares to confront what cannot be seen, armed not with weapons, but with forbidden knowledge and desperate incantations. Yet even this fragile resistance feels terrifyingly inadequate against a force born beyond the stars. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this chapter carries the story toward its turning point — where human defiance stands face to face with an indifferent and ancient terror that was never meant to be fought. 
  This is Part 9 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the end begins to take shape.

  Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother’s matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn’t need to be for long—she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother’s last disastrous fix-up. It’s really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head. Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he’s more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he’s 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him. Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they’ve always been there, and he’ll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself. Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone.
