    Title: Morella 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe

    Original Publication: April 1835 (in the Southern Literary Messenger) 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 52 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    In Morella, Edgar Allan Poe delivers a chilling study of identity and the uncanny. The narrator’s wife, the brilliant and enigmatic Morella, immerses herself in metaphysical philosophy, her deepening knowledge unsettling her husband as her presence grows increasingly oppressive. When she dies in childbirth, he believes her influence has ended—until their daughter begins to mirror Morella with unsettling precision. 
    As the child matures into her mother’s likeness, the narrator’s dread intensifies. At her baptism, he names her “Morella,” prompting the girl to cry, “I am here!” before she dies. In the family tomb, he discovers that the original Morella’s body has vanished, leaving only the terrifying suggestion of a soul returned. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the tale’s quiet tension and philosophical darkness, bringing Poe’s fusion of the supernatural and psychological terror into sharp focus. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    As the fifty-second entry in Timeless Terrors, Morella remains one of Poe’s most haunting meditations on death, identity, and the chilling possibility that the self may never truly fade.

    Curious Case of Benjamin Button...

    F. Scott Fitzgerald created the novella "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" as a short story, originally published in Collier's magazine in 1922.  It tells the tale of Benjamin, son of Roger Button, who was born as an old man and who, over the course of his life, miraculously ages backwards. Beginning life as an octogenarian in his crib, Benjamin grows "older" while his body, conversely, appears younger and younger with each passing birthday. The story takes us through Benjamin's entire life; his difficult adolescence, his marriage, life as a soldier and father and, ultimately, his inevitable descent into infanthood.  At once hilarious, frightening and satiric, Fitzgerald's wonderful story has been adapted for both the stage and screen and is presented here in its original, unabridged format.
