Othello

William Shakespeare

"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."

Experience the most intimate and devastating of William Shakespeare's great tragedies. Othello, a heroic Moorish general in the service of Venice, has won the heart of the beautiful and virtuous Desdemona. But their happiness is short-lived, as Othello's ensign, the brilliant and sociopathic Iago, begins to weave a web of lies designed to destroy the General's life.

Through subtle whispers and the calculated use of a misplaced handkerchief, Iago poisons Othello's mind with unfounded suspicions of Desdemona's infidelity. The play is a terrifying masterclass in psychological manipulation, showing how easily noble love can be transformed into murderous rage.

This definitive edition presents the original text of a work that remains shockingly modern in its exploration of race, domesticity, and the nature of evil. A cornerstone of the Elizabethan theatre, Othello features Shakespeare's most complex villain and a tragic hero whose fall is as inevitable as it is heartbreaking.

The experiment is over — but its consequences have only begun. 
In the uneasy quiet that follows Dr. Raymond’s forbidden triumph, something is terribly wrong. The veil was lifted, and though it has fallen back into place, the human mind was never meant to endure what lay beyond it. What remains is not revelation, but ruin. 
As whispers of the event linger in drawing rooms and private conversations, we begin to understand the true cost of forbidden knowledge. The horror is no longer a distant glimpse of another world — it has taken root in this one. Subtle, insidious, and impossible to explain, its presence unsettles all who come near it. 
Narrated by Jonathan Dunne, Amazon bestselling horror author, this is Timeless Terrors No. 109, continuing Arthur Machen’s haunting masterpiece — where the veil, once lifted, can never fully be restored.
