Crypt G - The Castle Kept Its Secrets Too Well

J. K. Maddox

Sinossi

When an emotionally bruised historian is summoned to a forgotten castle buried in the Black Forest, he believes it's for a routine restoration project. What he finds is a ruin untouched by time—its rooms preserved, its furniture undisturbed, and its secrets sealed behind silence and shadows.

Drawn to the faded grandeur and eerie quiet, he begins reconstructing the estate’s lost legacy. Yet, as old journals resurface and strange symbols echo across the stone halls, he starts to doubt what he’s remembering—and what he’s forgetting. A woman’s lullaby echoes where no voice should remain. A spiral mark appears in places no hand has touched.

As the archivist pieces together the tragic fall of a reclusive family and their obsession with silence, the castle begins to rewrite his own memories. Why does he dream of rooms he hasn't entered? Who sent the invitation sealed in wax? And why does the name Marten always linger just out of reach?

In this atmospheric Gothic thriller of decayed beauty and haunted legacies, nothing is stable—not time, not memory, not even the truth. Some places were never meant to be archived.

What happens when you dig too deep into a past that remembers you back?

Strung

Per Jacobsen

Author Randall Morgan is on his way home after spending fourteen days in the secluded cabin where he always goes to write the endings of his books. However, when he arrives in his hometown, East Alin, he is greeted by a disturbing sight. 
At a traffic light near the city limits, someone has turned a lamppost into a makeshift gallows, and in it a man–dead and decomposing–hangs. 
The sight of the hanged man is terrifying in itself, but it soon dawns on Randall that there are other–and far greater–problems in the small town. Because while he is waiting in his car for the police to show up, several people pass by the crime scene - and not a single one of them reacts to the fact that a dead man is hanging in the middle of the street. 
Something has gone completely wrong in East Alin while Randall has been away.

The Premature Burial

Edgar Allan Poe

Title: The Premature Burial 
Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1844 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 37 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe is one of the author’s most chilling meditations on fear — not of the supernatural, but of the terrible possibilities of life and death themselves. Blending meticulous realism with mounting horror, Poe explores the paralyzing dread of being buried alive, a fate all too plausible in an age before medical certainty. 
As the narrator recounts true tales of premature interment and his own spiraling obsession with the grave, the story becomes both a psychological study and a reflection on humanity’s darkest anxieties. Poe’s prose traps the listener in a space between reason and terror — where the heart still beats beneath the coffin lid, and imagination becomes a tomb. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the suffocating tension and morbid fascination that make The Premature Burial one of Poe’s most enduring works of gothic dread. 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 Premature Burial stands as a timeless reminder that the truest horror lies not in monsters, but in the fragile boundary between consciousness and the grave.
