    Title: The Night Wire 
    Author: H. F. Arnold 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1926 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 47 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Night Wire by H. F. Arnold is one of the most haunting pieces of early 20th-century weird fiction — a story that fuses the hum of modern technology with a creeping, supernatural dread. 
    Inside a dim telegraph office in the dead of night, two wire operators receive a strange news report: a distant city consumed by fog and death. Yet as the dispatches continue, the events seem to unfold in real time — and ever closer to home. 
    With its claustrophobic atmosphere, its blend of realism and the uncanny, and its quiet descent into cosmic horror, The Night Wire stands as a forgotten classic of early radio-age terror — a perfect bridge between pulp mystery and Lovecraftian unease. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the dread of isolation, the crackle of the telegraph, and the mounting terror of a message that refuses to stop. 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 Night Wireendures as a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest voices come not from beyond the grave — but from the wire itself.
