    Title: The Call of Cthulhu 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1928 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 34 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft is the cornerstone of cosmic horror — a vast and terrifying revelation that humanity is but a fleeting whisper beneath the gaze of ancient, indifferent gods. Told through fragmented reports, journal entries, and the haunted memories of those who have glimpsed forbidden truths, it weaves a chilling investigation into the cult of Cthulhu — a monstrous being sleeping beneath the Pacific, whose awakening would end all that we know. 
    Lovecraft constructs his myth through suggestion and implication, blending mystery, anthropology, and existential terror into a narrative that expands horror beyond the human scale. This is not merely a story of monsters, but of meaning undone — where sanity erodes in the face of incomprehensible reality. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author  Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s investigative tension and creeping dread — the inexorable uncovering of truths too vast for the mind to hold. While the text itself 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, The Call of Cthulhu stands as Lovecraft’s defining vision — a tale of cosmic insignificance, ancient worship, and the terrible awakening of what should forever sleep. 
    Prepare for a descent into madness, mystery, and myth — where knowledge itself is the most dangerous horror of all.

    They arrive alive. They leave dead. 
    But first, they give me their confessions. 
    The theme of this book is: Killer Families. 
    WHO AM I? My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. 
    I am the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane. 
    Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers, and they know me as the Angel of Death. When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their story - the one they haven't told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. 
    If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. 
    The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing with me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take. 
    And now...they might just be playing with yours too. 
    Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions that relate to killer families:Patient 424 is a father who just wanted to protect his little girl.Patient 1001 is a pig farmer who never should have had children.Patient 523 wants you to believe he's the brother of a mob boss.Patient 983 would argue she should receive the Mother of the Year award. 
    Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and like to read books like The Bird Box, The Haunting and can't get enough stories about serial killers are going to enjoy reading the deathbed confessions from The Asylum. 
    WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. 
    But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers and such, so what do you expect?

Her previous collections include The Old Knowledge (Swan River Press 2010) and Damage (PS Publishing 2016).

    THE BRONZE STATUETTE: Hannah held the bronze statuette up to the light. It was small, fitting easily in her hand. She was pretty sure that it was the likeness of a classical god, and it was a fairly stan-dard representation, except for the eyes, the whites of which had been inlaid with ivory, while the pupils were little chips of verdigrised bronze.
