    Title: The Imp of the Perverse 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1845 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 44 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Imp of the Perverse by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling exploration of the human compulsion toward self-destruction — that sinister whisper urging us to do precisely what we know we must not. Told in Poe’s hypnotic, confessional style, the story begins as a philosophical essay on impulse and perversity, then descends into the fevered confession of a murderer undone by his own mind. 
    This tale reveals Poe at his most psychologically incisive, dissecting guilt, pride, and the dark delight of defiance. Beneath its gothic calm lies a truth as disturbing now as in 1845 — that the greatest horror may be found not in the supernatural, but in the secret architecture of the human soul. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes Poe’s morbid eloquence and the relentless pull of conscience that drives his doomed narrator to madness. 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, The Imp of the Perversestands as one of Poe’s most haunting studies of inner torment — a reminder that sometimes, the truest demon wears our own face.

    After unwittingly inserting himself in the middle of a sting operation, Hunter Reeves finds himself sworn in as the newest agent of The Order, an international detective and crime-fighting organization - and under the supervision, of all things, a vampire named Kai. Hunter has precious little time to adjust to his new life, complicated by the fact he and Kai are quickly falling for one another. 
    But a series of fateful choices leads Kai to make a crucial decision that will affect their lives (and afterlives). Can Hunter cope with a rapidly changing world he finds himself pledged to protect? 
    "Reawakening is an engaging tale that thrives on the strength of its characters and the tension of its plot. McPherson's writing is immersive, with moments of humor and humanity that offset the darker themes. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with a strong emotional core—fans of urban fantasy, romance, and action-packed thrillers alike." -Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan

    An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television series featuring stories by Whitley Strieber, R. L. Stine, Laura Lippman, and others.When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as “science fiction,” the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style. The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television.This anthology is an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and introduced by Carol Serling, it includes brand-new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hamner and Harlan Ellison, all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.
