The Electric Executioner

Adolphe de Castro, H. P. Lovecraft

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
A certain man embarks on a business trip to Mexico. In the train, he finds himself alone in a compartment with someone who turns out to be a dangerous maniac. 
Another story being revised for Adolphe de Castro (the previous one being The Last Test). Lovecraft agreed to take it on solely because Castro paid upfront for the revisions. The writer struggled with this text, which held no promise, so for entertainment, he decided to mix horror and a bit of humor for the initiated (something he usually avoided and believed should not be done). Even the grotesque behavior of the madman on the train is spiced up with quotes from a certain German Lovecraft once traveled with to Washington.

The Transition of Juan Romero

H. P. Lovecraft

Title: The Transition of Juan Romero 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1944 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 54 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Transition of Juan Romero is a stark tale of subterranean dread from H. P. Lovecraft’s earliest period — a story of inexplicable terror lurking deep beneath the earth. 
Set in a remote Nevada mining camp, the narrative follows a miner who witnesses a fellow worker, Juan Romero, drawn by an unseen force into the depths of an abandoned shaft. As the ground shakes and the darkness seems to breathe, something ancient stirs below — something that should never have been awakened. 
With its bleak desert atmosphere, claustrophobic mine shafts, and hints of cosmic forces at work beneath the soil, this story bridges Lovecraft’s early horror with the cosmic themes that would later define his mythos. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings the tension, isolation, and subterranean terror to life. While the text 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 masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Transition of Juan Romero remains a chilling reminder that some depths are better left unexplored.
