Title: The Thing on the Roof Author: Robert E. Howard Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1932 Public Domain: No Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 90 Description: The Thing on the Roof is a ferocious example of Robert E. Howard’s dark, visceral approach to horror—where cosmic dread collides with raw physical menace. Set in a decaying urban landscape, the story follows a group of scholars and doctors whose intellectual curiosity draws them into contact with something ancient, unnatural, and violently alive. Howard wastes no time establishing a sense of impending doom. The horror here is immediate and predatory, embodied in a malformed survivor of a forgotten age whose very existence defies natural order. As the creature moves closer, tension escalates through tight pacing, claustrophobic settings, and the growing realization that knowledge alone offers no protection against primal terror. Unlike more philosophical Gothic tales, The Thing on the Roof leans into savage inevitability. Civilization, reason, and scholarship crumble in the face of something older and stronger—an echo of humanity’s insignificance in a hostile universe. Howard’s prose is muscular and relentless, delivering fear through motion, confrontation, and the sheer physicality of the threat. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance amplifies the story’s breathless momentum and brutal atmosphere. The Thing on the Roof stands as a landmark of early twentieth-century horror—where degeneration, ancient survival, and cosmic indifference converge, and the past returns not as memory, but as a killing force.Ver libro
Hector Hugh Munro, more familiarly known by his pen-name ‘Saki’ was born in what was then Akyab in British Burma on 18th December 1870. His father was an Inspector General for the Indian Imperial Police, and his mother the daughter of a Rear Admiral. When he was 2 his mother died and he and his siblings were sent back to England to be raised by their grandmother and paternal maiden aunts in a strict, puritanical household near Barnstaple, Devon. Educated by governesses Saki used many of these women as character models for his later writing. At 17 his father retried and returned to England and then embarked on a series of European travels with Saki and his siblings. After a short stint working in Burma with the Indian Imperial Police Saki decided to move to London to make a living as a writer. Initially he wrote as a journalist for a number of newspapers and magazines before attempting an historical study, ‘The Rise of the Russian Empire’, whose real value lay in directing him to writing short stories instead, the first of which, ‘Dogged’, he published in 1899. From here it was a short stab of the pen to writing political satire before in 1902 he became the foreign correspondent for The Morning Post, first in the Balkans, then Russia, Paris and back to London in 1908, where 'the agreeable life of a man of letters with a brilliant reputation awaited him.' Collections of his short stories full of witty, mischievous and often macabre stories that satirized Edwardian society and two novels now appeared in the years up to the Great War. At its’ outbreak he was 43 but managed to join as an ordinary trooper. More than once he returned to the battlefield when officially too sick or injured. On 14th November 1916 Hector Hugh Munro was sheltering in crater during the Battle of the Ancre, when he was shot and killed by a German sniper. According to several sources, his last words were "Put that bloody cigarette out!"Ver libro
