  🎬 Experience the atmospheric visual edition of this tale by searching "Jonathan Dunne Horror" on YouTube. 
  Number: 120 
  Title: Pickman’s Model 
  Series Name: Timeless Terrors 
  Series Entry: 120 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1927 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Description: 
  Pickman’s Model is a chilling descent into artistic obsession and unspeakable revelation set in the shadowed streets and ancient alleyways of Boston. 
  The story follows Thurber, a reserved and cultivated gentleman, who recounts his unsettling acquaintance with Richard Upton Pickman — a painter of notorious reputation. Unlike other artists who dabble in the grotesque, Pickman’s work possesses a horrifying vitality. His canvases do not merely suggest monstrosity; they convince. Critics recoil, galleries refuse him, yet his paintings evoke a dreadful question: how does he render such nightmarish beings with such anatomical precision and terrible authenticity? 
  Compelled by fascination and unease, Thurber accepts an invitation to visit Pickman’s secret studio hidden within the decaying North End. There, amid crumbling brick corridors and subterranean vaults older than the city itself, art and reality begin to blur. As Pickman unveils his most disturbing works, Thurber confronts the possibility that the painter’s models are not products of imagination at all — but studies from life. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s mounting tension, refined unease, and final shattering disclosure — bringing Lovecraft’s grim vision vividly and hauntingly to life.

  One O'Clock - From their pens to...

  Lady Eleanor Smith

  Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith was born in Birkenhead, Merseyside in England on the 7th August 1902 into a privileged family steeped in titles and politics. 
  Part of her education was at Miss Douglas's school at Queen's Gate.  Here she met and befriended several other young women that the British tabloid press would later call the ‘Bright Young Things’, a group of bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London. 
  Smith's paternal great-grandmother, was said to have been a Gypsy, and this sparked an early and life-long interest with the Romani people, she even went so far as to learn to read and speak the language, which she called ‘musical and broken.’ 
  Her life was full of adventure and mishaps.  A mistaken encounter with a man she thought could help her into the film business turned out to be threats of marriage and death from a man wanted for the murder of his father.  She was even arrested twice.  Once for listing her career as a journalist and another, in Rome, for walking around in a sleeveless dress. 
  Smith began her career writing society gossip columns for various newspapers but later received an offer to write for the newly-formed Great Carmo Circus, with which she travelled for several years and was the source material for many of her books. 
  Her first novel, ‘Red Wagon’, was published when she was 28 and it was an immediate bestseller.  A prolific writer several of her works were also adapted for films. 
  Smith also wrote ghost stories and others flavoured with evil.  Her support for the Conservative party may be forgiven but her attributed quote to be a ‘warm adherent of General Franco’ less so. 
  Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith died on the 20th October 1945 in Westminster after a long illness.  She was 43.

  Paradise Lost

  John Milton

  Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by the Puritan English poet John Milton between 1658 and 1663, and published in 1667. This is a period of English history which encompasses the end of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
  Perhaps reflecting some of his country's turmoil during Milton's life, Paradise Lost deals with revolution in Heaven by Satan and his followers against God, their defeat and banishment to Hell, and their subsequent plotting of revenge, leading ultimately to Satan beguiling Eve in Paradise to taste the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge against the explicit command of God. Milton's vivid and poetic description of these events is both dramatic and compelling. The work gained swift acceptance and has always remained a popular and important part of English literature.
  Originally published in ten books, a second edition was published in 1674 arranged into twelve books, the form in which it appears here.

  The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel written by French author Alexandre Dumas (père) completed in 1844. It is one of the author's most popular works, along with The Three Musketeers. Like many of his novels, it was expanded from plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean during the historical events of 1815–1839: the era of the Bourbon Restoration through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France. It begins on the day that Napoleon left his first island of exile, Elba, beginning the Hundred Days period when Napoleon returned to power. The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book, an adventure story centrally concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness.Before he can marry his fiancée Mercédès, Edmond Dantès, a French nineteen-year-old first mate of the Pharaon, is falsely accused of treason, arrested, and imprisoned without trial in the Château d'If, a grim island fortress off Marseille. A fellow prisoner, Abbé Faria, correctly deduces that romantic rival Fernand Mondego, envious crewmate Danglars, and double-dealing magistrate De Villefort are responsible. Over the course of their long imprisonment, Faria educates Dantès and tells him of a cache of treasure he found. After Faria dies, Dantès escapes and finds the treasure. As the powerful and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, he enters the fashionable Parisian world of the 1830s to avenge himself.
