  Title: Silence: A Fable 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1839 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 65 
  Description: 
  Silence: A Fable is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most haunting and introspective works — a meditation on isolation, the human soul, and the subtle terrors that dwell in stillness itself. The story follows a lone traveler who encounters an otherworldly figure in a desolate, silent landscape. Through cryptic dialogue and atmospheric detail, Poe explores themes of mortality, existential dread, and the ineffable forces that govern life and death. 
  The horror in Silence: A Fable arises not from action or gore, but from the oppressive quiet that permeates every scene — a silence so profound it becomes almost a tangible presence. Shadows, echoes, and the interplay between light and dark create an atmosphere of uncanny tension, reminding readers that human perception is fragile and limited. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the ethereal dread, reflective melancholy, and enigmatic beauty of Poe’s prose. While the text itself is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classics of horror, Silence: A Fable is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most terrifying forces are not seen or heard — but felt, in the spaces between. 🕯️

  Title: The Doom That Came to Sarnath

  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1920

  Description: 
  The Doom That Came to Sarnath by H. P. Lovecraft is a chilling mythic chronicle of pride, cruelty, and inevitable cosmic retribution. Written in Lovecraft’s richly archaic style, the tale unfolds like a forbidden legend whispered down through forgotten ages. 
  In the land of Mnar, beside a still and mist-shrouded lake, the proud city of Sarnath rose in splendor after conquering the ancient, alien city of Ib. The beings of Ib—strange, green, and mute—were utterly destroyed, their memory mocked and their idol carried away as a trophy. For centuries, Sarnath prospered, its alabaster walls gleaming and its feasts growing ever more decadent. 
  Yet on the eve of a grand celebration marking the thousandth year of Ib’s fall, unease begins to creep across the revelers’ hearts. The stolen idol inspires dread. Whispers echo through torchlit halls. And as the appointed hour approaches, an ancient doom—long foretold—draws near from the dark waters of the lake. 
  Lovecraft crafts a tale not of sudden violence, but of mounting inevitability: a civilization blind to its own arrogance, haunted by forces older than mankind. Rich with dreamlike imagery and mythic cadence, The Doom That Came to Sarnath stands as an early and powerful expression of cosmic horror—where time is vast, memory is long, and vengeance may sleep for centuries before it wakes. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s solemn grandeur, creeping dread, and apocalyptic finality—a legend of forgotten gods, drowned cities, and the terrible price of pride.

  It is the autumn of 1852 and the British warship Spartan, commanded by James Rutherford, continues her mission for the East India Company, to destroy a criminal consortium led by the Scorpion, a Chinese criminal named Liang Ziu, who controls an alliance of ruthless pirates, complicit local rulers and corrupt western traders. 
  Attack is followed by counter-attack, including an attempt on Rutherford’s own life, with treachery, extending to the higher echelons of the company, an additional threat, as the hunt for the Scorpion and his allies ranges across the Far Eastern Seas. 
  Martin Hicks lives in Fraserburgh in Scotland and began writing after a career in education. “The Trail of the Scorpion,” his fourteenth book, is the sequel to “An Independent Command” and the second episode of the “Spartan” story. He is currently at work on a further title in the series.
