Synopsis

'A beautifully told and deeply troubling story that confirms Devlin's place at the forefront of Weird fiction.'

– Ginger Nuts of Horror

Rob is a Crescent kid. Born and raised in the sheltered circle of grey semis, built to house the employees of The City Works and their families. Under the eye of the reclusive Mr Olhouser, the residents of The Crescent go about their work, their lessons and their law, accompanied by the never-ending sound of The Works machinery deep under the ground. When Lee Wrexler moves into The Crescent, he brings with him something dangerous from the outside. Not just a reputation for trouble, but an outside perspective that will show Rob that the home he always thought he had a measure of is a stranger and far more unsettling place than he could have imagined… Malcolm Devlin's Engines Beneath Us is a powerful and unsettling novella of how the individual spirit is crushed by the pressure to conform, from a contemporary master of weird fiction.

Cath Barton's melancholic novella Between The Virgin and the Sea is set in an unnamed city which has fallen off the map of the world, and is accessible now only by sea.
Violence has broken out in the city and the people, fearing that the church is involved, pray instead at roadside shrines.
The story tells the events of a day at the end of which the white statue of the Virgin which stands on a hill overlooking the city may ― or may not ― come to life to restore peace to its people. Central to the story and living in the barrios is a boy called Tag, the things of which he dreams and the maps he draws.
Set in a surreal and changing city, in which pizza delivery is carried out by donkey, and nothing may be what it seems, Between the Virgin and the Sea explores themes of childhood and coming of age.
A captivating blend of magical realism, tender comedy, and literary experimentation, Between the Virgin and the Sea is a captivating portrait of urban life quite unlike any other.

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.
