  What would it be really like to have the power of invisibility? What could be achieved for good or ill by becoming the first unseen human being? H.G Wells plays out these questions in his classic story which begins with a light, comic touch but soon moves towards terror and tragedy. Wells makes it clear that the potential power that invisibility brings has to contend with the weaknesses of human nature.

  The Cats of Ulthar by H. P. Lovecraft is a darkly enchanting tale set in a mythical land where superstition and cosmic justice intertwine. First published in 1920, the story recounts the curious events in the town of Ulthar, where it is said that no man may kill a cat. 
  Through the eyes of a wandering traveler, we learn of the cruelty of an old couple who take pleasure in destroying cats, and of the strange vengeance that follows when a caravan of mysterious strangers arrives. The tale unfolds with Lovecraft’s unique blend of folklore and unease, weaving a fable that is at once cautionary and uncanny. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, conveys both the mythic cadence and the chilling undercurrent of Lovecraft’s prose. While the text itself is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.

  The Picture Of Dorian Gray

  Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray's relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps."
