  Description: 
  The Rats in the Walls by H. P. Lovecraft is a nightmarish descent into ancestral horror and madness. First published in 1924, this tale follows a man who restores his family’s ancestral estate — only to uncover a terrifying secret lurking beneath its crumbling walls. 
  As he explores the ruins, strange noises echo through the corridors: the relentless scurrying of unseen rats. What begins as superstition soon reveals itself as a chilling connection to unspeakable horrors from the past. Lovecraft weaves themes of inherited guilt, cosmic dread, and the fragility of sanity into one of his most unforgettable stories. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie atmosphere and rising terror that defines Lovecraft’s vision. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a dedicated series bringing classic horror back to life — stories from the great masters of the macabre, narrated afresh to haunt a new generation. 
  Listeners should be prepared for creeping suspense, ancestral curses, and the inescapable pull of madness echoing through the dark.

  Dronethology Two

  I hope that you will enjoy these 21 short stories featuring ideas about drones and the new innovations that we may see in the coming days. 
  Each one of these little sketches of concepts to come came in to my little mind, ususally in the wee hours while sitting on a very comfy-overstuffed chair in the dark. 
  I have these little micro flashlights (rechargeable) that fit on my fingers to shine the light on my clipboard as I frantically try to jot the idea down before I forget it and my mind returns to thinking about more important things, like what is in my refrigerator. 
  After I jot down the idea, I go type it out on the computer and maybe flesh a little more out and then edit and re-edit and edit again. And then when I read it aloud, I find scores more errors! And I wonder why I ever wanted to become a writer! 
  And the fights with my printer are legendary. My neighbors don't often talk to me when I am out checking the mail or whatnot, as they have, no doubt, heard me fighting and cussing at my computer through my open window. I must apologize for that,but you must understand I don't have muses or spektors, but instead, only and aging printer that only works when it wants to and I find it a semi evil entity. 
  But, back to writing, which is a passion and a need to get the stories out of my head before I forget them. They are like puzzles to me that only I can solve because most of the time I have no idea where they are going. 
  Anyway, I hope that you will, or have enjoyed these stories and will eagerly look for others...as I certainly will be. 
  Thank You for your time,

  Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was born on 28th August 1814 in Dublin into a literary family with Huguenot, Irish and English roots.   
  For a time he and his siblings were tutored but Le Fanu would often immerse himself in the books of his father’s library. 
  In 1833 Le Fanu began his Law studies at Trinity College, Dublin and graduated in 1839. Although called to the bar he instead began a career in journalism.   
  He was also writing. His first fiction story ‘The Ghost and the Bonesetter’ was published in 1838.  In 1843 came the novella ‘Spalatro: From the Notes of Fra Giacomo’, a hero with a particular necrophiliac passion for an undead blood-drinking beauty, a forerunner to his later female vampire ‘Carmilla’.  
  In 1844 Le Fanu married Susanna Bennett with whom he had 4 children. The following year his first novel ‘The C'ock and Anchor’ was published. Works now flowed from his pen and with a rapid increase in family finances they moved, in 1851, to Merrion Square, Dublin, where he remained until his death.  
  In 1858 Susanna died and Le Fanu became reclusive. It was during this period that he produced some of his best work.  Working only by candlelight he wrote through the night, burnishing his reputation as a major figure of 19th Century supernaturalism with many classics including; ‘Green Tea’, ‘Mr Justice Harbottle’, and ‘In a Glass Darkly’.  
  Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu died in Merrion Square in his native Dublin on February 7th, 1873, at the age of 58.

  On a blustery January breeze, a new girl sweeps into the neighborhood, breathing life - and a bit of magic - into the cottage she christens Elderberry Croft. 
  The folks at The Coach House Trailer Park can't help but fall under Willow Goodhope's spell. She charms them all with her whimsical nature and outrageous laugh. But there's something about her, a secret sadness that hovers at the corners of her irrepressible smile. And it has everyone talking. 
  Doc catches her burning letters out under the moonlight. Joe glimpses the whispering shadows clinging to the girl's coattails. Eddie and Donny compete to see who can make her smile first, and Patti can't ignore that her husband is sitting up straighter and taking notice of the young beauty. Kathy is doing everyone in the park a favor by keeping a close eye on the wild woman next door. 
  Through her binoculars. 
  And what she sees doesn't sit well with any of them. 
  "I meant to savor Elderberry Croft - I really did - but I couldn't help myself and gobbled it up in one sitting. Brimming with beautifully flawed characters who will make you sigh, smile, laugh, cry, and hurt over their very real struggles, Becky Doughty's Elderberry Croft is a must read." ~ Tamara Leigh, USA Today Bestselling Author
