Summary

He imagined atomic bombs before they existed—and foresaw a world forever changed.

The World Set Free is H. G. Wells' visionary tale of global upheaval and renewal, written over three decades before the first real nuclear weapons. In this startlingly prescient novel, Wells imagines a society shattered by atomic warfare—and a world forced to reinvent itself under the weight of its own technological power.

More than science fiction, this is political prophecy: a gripping story of war, peace, and the possibilities of a world reborn from destruction.

✔ Essential reading for fans of dystopian literature, futurism, and historical science fiction

    Title: The Music of Erich Zann 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1922 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 29 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Music of Erich Zann by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting exploration of madness, sound, and the fragile barrier between worlds. In a shadowed quarter of an ancient city, a student discovers a reclusive musician whose eerie, otherworldly compositions seem to keep at bay horrors unseen. What begins as fascination soon descends into terror, as the power behind Zann’s music and the darkness beyond his window are revealed. 
Through Lovecraft’s vivid and claustrophobic imagery, this tale captures the essence of his cosmic philosophy — that there are realms of existence beyond human perception, and that art itself can be both a shield and a summons. The result is one of Lovecraft’s most atmospheric and psychologically intense stories. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the story’s spectral tone and mounting dread — a symphony of terror rendered in voice. 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 great works of Gothic and cosmic horror, The Music of Erich Zann resonates as a chilling hymn to the unknowable — where melody becomes madness, and silence is more dreadful than sound. 
Prepare for a tale of haunting music, unseen worlds, and a final note that echoes beyond the limits of sanity.
