More classic horror narrations on Jonathan's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JonathanDunneHorrorAudiobooks Title: Three and One Are One Author: Ambrose Bierce Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1908 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 88 Description: Three and One Are One is a chilling example of Ambrose Bierce’s bleak, cerebral approach to supernatural horror—where logic, identity, and reality fracture under unseen pressure. Told with Bierce’s signature restraint and irony, the story unfolds as a quiet domestic mystery that gradually reveals something profoundly unnatural at its core. Rather than relying on spectacle, Bierce builds terror through implication and intellectual unease. The narrative presents a seemingly impossible condition—three individuals bound by a single, unsettling truth—forcing the listener to confront contradictions that reason cannot resolve. The horror lies not in what is shown, but in what must be accepted. Central to Three and One Are One is Bierce’s fascination with fractured identity, unreliable perception, and the thin boundary between rational explanation and supernatural inevitability. The story suggests that reality itself may be subject to rules we only dimly understand, and that some truths, once perceived, cannot be unseen. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance emphasizes Bierce’s dry precision, mounting dread, and philosophical menace. Three and One Are One remains a striking example of late nineteenth-century weird fiction—where terror emerges from paradox, and certainty dissolves into something far more disturbing.Ver livro
Amy Levy was born in London, England in 1861, the second of seven in a fairly wealthy Anglo-Jewish family. The children read and participated in secular literary activities and became firmly integrated into Victorian life. Her education was at Brighton High School, Brighton, before studies at Newnham College, Cambridge; she was the first Jewish student when she arrived in 1879, but left after four terms. Amy’s writing career began early; her poem ‘Ida Grey’ appeared when she was only fourteen. Her acclaimed short stories ‘Cohen of Trinity’ and ‘Wise in Their Generation,’ were published by Oscar Wilde in his magazine ‘Women's World’. Her poetic writings reveal feminist concerns; ‘Xantippe and Other Verses’, from 1881 includes a poem in the voice of Socrates's wife. ‘A Minor Poet and Other Verse’ from 1884 comprises of dramatic monologues and lyric poems. In 1886, Amy began a series of essays on Jewish culture and literature for the Jewish Chronicle, including ‘The Ghetto at Florence’, ‘The Jew in Fiction’, ‘Jewish Humour’ and ‘Jewish Children’. That same year while travelling in Florence she met the writer Vernon Lee. It is generally assumed they fell in love and this inspired the poem ‘To Vernon Lee’. Her first novel ‘Romance of a Shop’, written in 1888 is based on four sisters who experience the pleasures and hardships of running a London business during the 1880s. This was followed by Reuben Sachs (also 1888) and concerned with Jewish identity and mores in the England of her time and was somewhat controversial. Her final book of poems, ‘A London Plane-Tree’ from 1889, shows the beginnings of the influence of French symbolism. Despite many friendships and an active life, Amy suffered for many years with serious depressions and this, together with her growing deafness, led her to commit suicide by inhaling carbon monoxide on September 10th, 1889. She was 27.Ver livro
