Summary

The American early twentieth century novelist Grace Livingston Hill was immensely popular during her lifetime, writing over 100 books and numerous short stories. Many of her tales were written during a time of great uncertainty, in a world plagued with war and the troubles of the great Depression. Her protagonists were often young female ingénues, strong Christian women or those that have erred and now seek redemption. She wrote about a variety of subjects and almost always with a romance worked into the narrative. This eBook presents Hill’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Title: The Beast in the Cave 
Author: H.P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1918 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 22 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Beast in the Cave by H.P. Lovecraft is an early yet striking example of the author’s mastery of atmosphere and psychological horror. Set deep within the winding passages of Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave, the story follows a man who becomes hopelessly lost in total darkness. As his torch burns out and his sense of direction fails, the oppressive silence gives way to the sound of something moving — something that should not exist in such depths. 
With mounting dread, the narrator’s fear transforms into primal terror as he realizes he is not alone in the cavern’s endless blackness. What begins as a struggle against isolation turns into a confrontation with a horror born of darkness itself. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s claustrophobic tension and chilling final revelation. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting classic horror — works from masters of the macabre, retold in haunting new performances for a modern audience. 
Listeners should prepare for a descent into pitch-black terror, where every sound could signal the approach of something unspeakable lurking in the dark.

    Title: The Open Window 
Author: Saki (H. H. Munro) 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1914 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 30 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Open Window by Saki is a masterful blend of subtle wit and unsettling irony — a tale where polite conversation becomes a stage for deception and the supernatural lingers just out of sight. When the nervous Mr. Nuttel visits a country home for rest and recovery, his young hostess, Vera, entertains him with a chilling story of loss, ghosts, and an open window that never closes. 
Deceptively light in tone, Saki’s story conceals a dark brilliance — a study in manipulation, imagination, and the thin line between truth and terror. The quiet domestic setting becomes the perfect trap for the reader’s expectations, as the tale turns from social comedy to ghostly suspense with unnerving precision. 
Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Saki’s sharp dialogue, dry tension, and sudden twist of fear. 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 reviving the classic and uncanny, The Open Window stands as a timeless parable of storytelling itself — where every tale may open onto something far more chilling than it seems. 
Prepare for a story that begins with civility and ends with a shiver — a moment when laughter and fear share the same breath.

Individuals careen from university buildings to dimly lit parlour rooms, through strange shops and endless storms. Crowded with moments of stunning beauty, the stories in this collection showcase Schulz's darkly modern sensibility, and his status as one of the great transformers of the ordinary into the fantastical.
