Sinopse

"Moby-Dick" is considered to be one of the Great American Novels and a treasure of world literature, one of the great epics in all of literature. The story tells the adventures of wandering sailor Ishmael, and his voyage on the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab has one purpose on this voyage: to seek out Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg, which now drives Ahab to take revenge...

    On Stewkey Blues: 'In his solid, grounded, entertaining collection of stories, DJ Taylor draws out the mythical qualities of East Anglia's terrain, urban or rural or somewhere marginal in between.' —Hilary Mantel
    Most of the people in Poppyland are watching their lives begin to blur at the margins. From small-hours taxi offices, out-of-season holiday estates and flyblown market stalls, they sit observing an environment that seems to be moving steadily out of kilter, struggling to find agency, making compromises with a world that threatens to undermine them, and sometimes – but only sometimes – taking a decisive step that will change their destinies.

    Title: The Alchemist 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1908 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 36 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Alchemist by H. P. Lovecraft is a tale of vengeance, decay, and the relentless hand of destiny. In a crumbling French château, generations of an ancient noble family are doomed to die before reaching their thirty-second year — victims, it seems, of a centuries-old curse. As the last heir wanders through the ruins of his lineage, he uncovers the truth behind the curse — and the grim figure who has carried it through time. 
    Written when Lovecraft was just seventeen, The Alchemist reveals the early foundations of his fascination with ancestral guilt and cosmic inevitability. The story’s gothic atmosphere, shadowed corridors, and sense of doomed inheritance foreshadow the cosmic horror that would later define his work. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Lovecraft’s blend of decay and dread — the echo of old oaths, the dust of forgotten laboratories, and the whisper of a fate that will not be denied. 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, The Alchemist endures as a reminder that even youth’s first nightmares can echo through eternity — and that some legacies are written not in ink, but in blood and time.
