In His Steps

Charles M. Sheldon

What would Jesus do? When several members of an ordinary American church are challenged to not take a single action without fist asking that crucial question, they discover the power of God to transform their own lives—and their world. Charles M. Sheldon’s provocative novel, originally published in 1896 and enthusiastically rediscovered by today’s believers, testifies dramatically to the value of Christian witness in all of life.

Charles M. Sheldon (1857–1946) is best remembered for his 1896 masterwork In His Steps, the multi-million copy best-selling Christian novel that continues to challenge readers today. But he was more than a best-selling author. At the turn of the twentieth century, Sheldon was perhaps the best-known clergyman in America, a preacher whose avid support of social reforms grew out of his understanding of the Christian’s responsibility to his fellowman.

The Picture of Dorian Gray - A...

Oscar Wilde

What would you give to remain flawless forever? One young man gave his soul. 
In the decadent heart of Victorian London, the exquisitely beautiful Dorian Gray sits for his portrait. Enchanted by his own perfection and corrupted by the cynical, pleasure-seeking Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian makes a desperate, chilling vow: he will remain forever young, while the painted canvas bears the burden of his age and his inevitable moral decay. 
Freed from the physical consequences of his actions, Dorian plunges into a life of unchecked hedonism, secret sins, and tragic romance. Yet, locked away in his attic, the portrait begins to warp, reflecting the horrific, rotting truth of his soul. As the bodies pile up and the paranoia mounts, Dorian must ultimately face the terrifying reality of his bargain. 
Why you will love this audiobook: A crowning achievement of Philosophical Fiction, this mesmerizing classic explores the corrupting nature of vanity, the pursuit of beauty, and the ultimate price of hedonism. Blending lush gothic horror with razor-sharp societal critique, it remains a timeless exploration of humanitys darkest desires. 
About the Author: Oscar Wilde was a legendary nineteenth century Irish poet and playwright known for his biting wit, flamboyant style, and triumphs on the London stage. Though highly celebrated for his comedic plays, this solitary novel cemented his legacy as a profound, if controversial, literary genius.

Middlemarch (Book 1: Miss Brooke)

George Eliot

Middlemarch (Book 1: Miss Brooke), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels.

The Music of Erich Zann

HP Lovecraft

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.
