  Title: The Upper Berth 
  Author: F. Marion Crawford 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1886 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 31 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford is one of the most chilling ghost stories ever set upon the sea — a tale of isolation, disbelief, and a horror that defies explanation. A seasoned traveler boards an Atlantic steamer and takes lodging in a cabin known for its peculiar reputation. When strange noises, cold drafts, and unexplainable presences begin to disturb the night, curiosity turns to terror — and the truth behind the “upper berth” is revealed in a climax of pure dread. 
  Crawford’s mastery lies in his restrained realism and his ability to build unbearable tension from the ordinary. What begins as a skeptical sailor’s anecdote becomes a haunting confrontation with something that refuses to stay beneath the waves. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the claustrophobic suspense and mounting fear of Crawford’s maritime masterpiece. 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 dark legends of classic horror, The Upper Berth remains a cornerstone of the ghost story tradition — a tale where disbelief drowns in the face of the uncanny. 
  Prepare for a voyage into the unknown — where the sea is not the only thing that stirs at night, and the upper berth waits for its next occupant.

  At the Mountains of Madness is a science fiction-horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931 and rejected that year by Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright on the grounds of its length. It was originally serialized in the February, March, and April 1936 issues of Astounding Stories. It has been reproduced in numerous collections. The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to the Antarctic continent in September 1930, and what was found there by a group of explorers led by the narrator, Dr. William Dyer of Miskatonic University. Throughout the story, Dyer details a series of previously untold events in the hope of deterring another group of explorers who wish to return to the continent.

  Blake Alexander stood peering out through a crack in a curtain at his son's house. He looked as nervous as he was. 
   "Why is super dork hiding in our house dork?" asked Blake's teenage grandson of his father Lance who he called dork. 
   "The men in black are chasing him," Lance said. 
   "Yeah right dork!" said Lance Jnr who didn't believe he was of an alien race let alone they were sorcerers and the fact the men in black were real was just ridiculous. 
   "He's meant to be the emperor of the solar system why doesn't he tell them to go away!" said Kristine, Lance's daughter sarcastically. 
   "I tried they don't recognize the empire," said Blake who was distracted, 
   "they're coming to the door where can I hide?"  
   There was a distant voice behind them. 
   "Dad hide here!" the voice said it was not Lance's voice but his other son's voice it emitted from a whirling dark vortex. 
   Blake jumped in it and it disappeared.
