  Title: The Imp of the Perverse 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1845 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 44 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Imp of the Perverse by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling exploration of the human compulsion toward self-destruction — that sinister whisper urging us to do precisely what we know we must not. Told in Poe’s hypnotic, confessional style, the story begins as a philosophical essay on impulse and perversity, then descends into the fevered confession of a murderer undone by his own mind. 
  This tale reveals Poe at his most psychologically incisive, dissecting guilt, pride, and the dark delight of defiance. Beneath its gothic calm lies a truth as disturbing now as in 1845 — that the greatest horror may be found not in the supernatural, but in the secret architecture of the human soul. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes Poe’s morbid eloquence and the relentless pull of conscience that drives his doomed narrator to madness. 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 Imp of the Perversestands as one of Poe’s most haunting studies of inner torment — a reminder that sometimes, the truest demon wears our own face.

  Francine Thwaite has lived all her fifty-five years in her family's ancestral home, a rambling Elizabethan manor in England's Lake District. No other living soul resides there, but Francine isn't alone. There are ghosts in Thwaite Manor, harmless and familiar.

  When Francine's estranged sister, Madeleine, returns to the manor after years away, she brings with her a story that threatens everything Francine has always believed. It is a tale of cruelty and desperation, of terror and unbearable heartache. And as Francine learns more about the darkness in her family's past—and the role she may have played in it—she realizes that confronting the truth may mean losing what she holds most dear. 
   
   
    
  As moving and poignant as it is chilling, Her Little Flowers is a story of grief and enduring love—and of the haunting regrets only forgiveness can dispel.

  When Marion Hawthorne arrives at the remote Ravenscroft estate to catalog her late aunt’s belongings, she expects dust and antiques—never whispered secrets or restless spirits. Yet the moment Marion steps into the manor’s shadowed halls, she senses an unseen presence guiding her toward a hidden ritual known as “the flitting.” As she uncovers cryptic journals and deciphers an ancient lullaby, Marion confronts memories of a vanished childhood friend and the legacy of grief that binds the living to the dead. With every creaking floorboard and flicker of candlelight, Marion’s pragmatic quest transforms into a mission of liberation: to compose a counter‐melody that will guide trapped souls home. Narrated with haunting atmosphere and emotional depth, The Flitting immerses listeners in a tale where gothic suspense and purposeful action converge. Each spectral encounter and small triumph—charting archives by candlelight, gathering villagers to revive a long‐forgotten song, facing down a haunted mirror in a subterranean crypt—illuminates how focused courage and collaborative resolve can turn fear into meaningful progress. By weaving family lore, investigative rigor, and musical ritual into one tapestry, this audiobook inspires listeners to face their own hidden pasts, embrace uncertainty, and transform haunting mysteries into catalysts for growth.
