    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
    "The Descendant" is a horror story fragment by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in 1927. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death. 
    The story begins with a narrator explaining that he is on his deathbed and feels the need to share a particular story before he dies. He tells of a quiet and slightly mad older man who lives in the Gray's Inn with his pet cat. The man is haggard and haunted, looking older than his years and terrified of church bells. A young man named Williams (the narrator) moves into the Inn and tries to befriend the old man and get him to share his knowledge. It is revealed that the man is Lord Northam of England. Williams' attempts are largely rebuked until one day, Williams acquires a copy of the Necronomicon, the book of the dead that captures the minds of so many intrigued by the dark arts...

    Title: The Signalman 
    Author: Charles Dickens 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1866 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 50 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Signalman is Charles Dickens’ taut and haunting meditation on fear, fate, and the limits of human perception. Set along a lonely railway cutting, the story follows a traveler who encounters a signalman tormented by a mysterious, foreboding apparition. Their conversation gradually reveals a chilling vision of impending tragedy, as the signalman struggles against forces beyond his comprehension. 
    Blending Gothic suspense with psychological tension, Dickens transforms a seemingly simple ghost story into a darkly reflective exploration of isolation, dread, and the uncanny ways in which warning signs are often ignored. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures both the quiet unease and mounting terror of Dickens’ narrative — a world where the ordinary and the supernatural intersect in subtle but unforgettable ways. 
    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 masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Signalman endures as one of Dickens’ most suspenseful and psychologically intense short stories — a tale of foreboding that lingers long after the final words.

    In a remote mountain village, debt-collector Durwood finds himself troubled by conflicting memories when he is tasked with claiming the old windmill property of the mysteriously vanished professor Rohr. This is a short story about certain kinds of 'ghosts', and the unsettling ways in which they can play a strange part in our past and future. 
    The story was written back in 2004 but never published. Now, twenty years later, it has been dusted off and polished to coincide with the release of S.M. Thygesen's new novel 'Burning Bright'. 'Haunting Infinity' is a distinct story, set in the 1950'ies, many years before the events of 'Burning Bright', but there is a connection in terms of the origin of some tech and a founding character, who will also be making a brief appearance at the end of the new novel.
