August Heat

W. F. Harvey

Title: August Heat 
Author: W. F. Harvey 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1910 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 35 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
August Heat by W. F. Harvey is a study in fate and foreboding — a story where coincidence feels like prophecy and the ordinary turns quietly terrifying. On a blistering summer afternoon, an artist sketches the image of a man destined for death. By chance, or by something darker, he meets that very man soon after — and together they face a future that may already be set in stone. 
Harvey’s understated masterpiece captures the dread of inevitability without a single ghost or monster. Its horror lies in what cannot be changed — the creeping sense that destiny is real, and that some meetings are written long before they occur. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the suffocating heat, the weight of coincidence, and the chill of realization that closes around both men. 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 resurrecting the masters of the macabre, August Heat stands as a haunting reminder that true terror needs no apparition — only time, silence, and the certainty of what must come.

Death in the Woods - From their...

Sherwood Anderson

Sherwood Anderson was born on 13th September 1876 in Camden, Ohio.
When his father’s business failed the family was forced to move on a regular basis before finally settling in Clyde, Ohio.
Anderson, one of 7 children, left school at 14 to take a number of jobs to help with the family finances. These were difficult years.
He moved to Chicago in search of opportunities before joining the Army for the US-Spanish War of 1898. He then entered Wittenberg Academy in Springfield, Ohio to complete his education before moving back to Chicago to take up a writing job.
In 1904 he married Cornelia Lane, her family had resources and Anderson was keen, with this family backing, to run a business.
The early years of their marriage produced 3 children but a nervous breakdown in 1907 and another in 1912, despite his success as a business entrepreneur, resulted in him abandoning his family and deciding that a literary career would be best for him.
A move back to Chicago resulted in a job in advertising, a divorce from Cornelia and marriage to Tennessee Mitchell.
That same year his first book ‘Windy McPherson’s Son’ was released and in 1919, his most famous book, ‘Winesburg, Ohio’, a collection of short stories about life in an Ohio town was released.
Anderson continued to write short stories, novels and non-fiction but his only true bestseller came with ‘Dark Laughter’. His influence on writers that followed, from Faulkner to Hemingway, was immense. He also married a further two times.
Sherwood Anderson died in in Colón, Panama, on the 8th March, 1941. He was 64. An autopsy revealed that a swallowed toothpick had resulted in peritonitis.
His headstone epitaph reads ‘Life, Not Death is the Great Adventure.’

3 Stories About - Social...

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Elizabeth...

There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
 
From their pens to your your ears.
