  Title: The Black Cat 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1843 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 12 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe is a dark tale of guilt, madness, and the supernatural. First published in 1843 in The Saturday Evening Post, it tells the story of a man whose descent into alcoholism and cruelty leads to shocking acts of violence, culminating in a horrifying confrontation with a seemingly malevolent feline. 
  Told through the first-person perspective of the increasingly unreliable narrator, the story explores themes of conscience, obsession, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked human depravity. Poe’s mastery of psychological horror and gothic atmosphere makes this a timeless classic. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, brings to life the creeping tension, psychological dread, and macabre details that define Poe’s work. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Listeners should be prepared for a disturbing meditation on guilt, horror, and the dark impulses that lurk within the human psyche.

You’ll meet Princess Ara as a seal pup and young Seamus defending his dreams of becoming a fisherman.

  Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where, two centuries before, an alchemist had engaged in experiments.[note She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation for her companions, particularly for her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. In 1816 Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, Brian Aldiss has argued for regarding it as the first true science-fiction story. In contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, Aldiss states, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. The novel has had a considerable influence on literature and on popular culture; it has spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays.Since the publication of the novel, the name "Frankenstein" has often been used, erroneously, to refer to the monster, rather than to his creator/father.

  Here there be gods and monsters—forged from flesh and stone and vengeance—emerging from the icy abyss of deep space, ascending from dark oceans, and prowling strange cities to enter worlds of chaos and wonder, where scientific rigor and human endeavor is tested to the limits. These are cosmic realms and watery domains where old offerings no longer appease the ancient Gods or the new and hungry idols. Deities and beasts. Life and death. Love and hate. Science and magic. And smiling monsters in human skin. 
   
   
   
  Premee Mohamed's debut collection of contemporary cosmic horror and dark fantasy heralds the arrival of a new and vibrant voice on the cutting edge of modern speculative fiction.
