Beschreibung

Above the Crati Valley in Calabria, Southern Italy, lies a small hilltop village where life revolves around a lively bar, a wood-fired pizza oven, and the people who gather there.
 
Into this world steps Johnny, an English expat who has lived among the locals long enough to be considered one of their own. Through laughter, misunderstandings, and more than a few glasses of wine, Johnny and his best friend Mario share the stories of the bar, the unforgettable characters who pass through its doors, and the escapades that unfold within.
 
Some are surreal, some wonderfully ordinary, but all carry the warmth, mischief, and humanity of village life. Told with gentle humour and deep affection, John Broughtons's BAR TALES celebrate friendship, community, and the quirks of small-town life.

    'The Undying Man' is a slight unfinished piece, drawing its inspiration from Shelley's 'Frankenstein' about the creation of life and the fear of death. It is interesting to speculate where Lawrence would have gone with the story but the sound of broken glass is the most likely ending.

    Title: The Diary of a Madman 
    Author: Guy de Maupassant 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1885 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 14 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Diary of a Madman by Guy de Maupassant is a chilling study of psychological horror and the fragility of sanity. First published in 1885, it presents the private writings of a respected judge whose outward civility hides a dark descent into obsession and cruelty. 
    Told through the intimate form of diary entries, the story reveals the gradual unraveling of a mind — a voice both rational and terrifyingly unhinged. Maupassant strips away the veneer of normalcy to expose the horrors lurking within the human psyche. 
    This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie intimacy and creeping dread that defines Maupassant’s tale. 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 an unsettling exploration of madness, hidden violence, and the shadows that dwell in ordinary men.

    The Adventures of Captain Hatteras

    A letter from a sea captain, signed only with cryptic initials, directs an experienced sailor to built and outfit a ship, and to assemble a crew to sail on a dangerous adventure. The voyage starts towards a northerly destination with, as far as anyone knows, no captain aboard. After some time at sea, the captain finally appears and announces his identity, and his plan to sail to the North Pole. The crew faces dangers and hardship as they fight their way through the icy seas, while the captain drives them with single-minded focus to find a passage ever farther north.   
    In his usual style, Verne includes lots of history and scientific explanations in the story. The Adventures of Captain Hatteras was first published in 1864 under the title Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras. At the time, the polar regions hadn't been fully explored; with the story set in 1861, it would be nearly fifty years before an explorer reached the pole.
