Title: Wolfshead Series Name: Timeless Terrors Series Entry: 118 Author: Robert E. Howard Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1924 Public Domain: Yes Description: Wolfshead is a dark and visceral tale of lycanthropic horror set in the wild borderlands of French colonial Africa. The story follows De Montour, a brooding and capable adventurer living on the fringes of civilization. Haunted by a terrible affliction, he carries a curse that sets him apart from other men — one that emerges beneath the full moon in a transformation both savage and uncontrollable. When a ruthless Arab slaver named Saheem seeks vengeance against him, De Montour’s hidden nature becomes the fulcrum upon which survival balances. As tensions rise and the African night closes in, primal violence and supernatural terror intertwine. Howard blends relentless action with gothic horror, crafting a story where the beast within proves both a curse and a weapon. First published in Weird Tales in 1924, Wolfshead was Robert E. Howard’s first professional sale, marking the beginning of the career of one of the most influential pulp writers of the twentieth century. In this early yet powerful tale, listeners will recognize Howard’s signature intensity — vivid atmosphere, raw physicality, and the thin line between civilization and savagery. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s ferocity, brooding tension, and supernatural dread, bringing Howard’s early masterpiece vividly to life.Mostra libro

🎬 Experience the atmospheric visual edition of this tale by searching “Jonathan Dunne Horror” on YouTube. *Contains themes of obsession and self-destruction* Title: The Spider Series Name: Timeless Terrors Series Entry: 148 Author: Hanns Heinz Ewers Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1908 Public Domain: Yes Description: The Spider by Hanns Heinz Ewers is a chilling psychological horror tale that slowly tightens into obsession, paranoia, and doom. In a gloomy Parisian boarding house overshadowed by a series of unexplained suicides, a young medical student volunteers to investigate the mystery. The deaths all occurred in the same room, under eerily similar circumstances, and no rational explanation has ever been found. Determined to uncover the truth, the student takes up residence there and begins carefully documenting his experiences. With mounting dread, Ewers transforms an apparently simple mystery into something hypnotic and nightmarish. Rather than relying on overt violence, The Spider builds terror through psychological disintegration, fatal attraction, and the creeping sense of an unseen malign influence at work. The result is one of the most disturbing and unforgettable works of early twentieth-century weird fiction — a story where isolation itself becomes a trap, and a single glance through a window may lead inexorably toward destruction.Mostra libro

Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London. Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as ‘Orlando’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’ and ‘To the Lighthouse’ and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer. Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns. Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present. She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father’s death two years later brought a complete mental collapse and she was briefly institutionalised. Somehow she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of “stream of consciousness”. Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many way to this day. Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased. Until, on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself. Her body was not recovered until the 18th April. She was 59. She left behind a note which read in part “Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do”.Mostra libro
