Sinopse

'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.

    On the night of the Hungry Ghost Moon, when spirits can briefly return to the living world, Jodi Wu and her best friend sneak into Portland’s Chinese Garden and Ghost Museum. Kneeling before the pond where Jodi’s toddler drowned one year before, they leave food offerings and burn joss paper—and Jodi prays that Ella’s ghost will return for the night. 
     
    To distract Jodi from her grief, the two friends tell each other ghost stories as they explore the museum. They stop at the main display, a centuries-old pair of lotus slippers belonging to a woman whose toes were broken and bound during childhood. While reading the woman’s story, Jodi hears her daughter’s voice. 
     
    As Jodi desperately searches the garden, it becomes apparent that Ella isn’t the only ghost they’ve awakened. Something ancient with a slow, shuffling step lurks in the shadows…

    Michael Holland is a grim reaper working the worst beat in the worst town. Michael’s best friend is a pot-smoking tooth fairy, his boss is the angel of death, his psychiatrist can read his mind, and he counts bogeymen, demons, and clones as his acquaintances.His nine-to-five is a succession of stupidity, clearing up the remains of the latest Darwin Award winner or dealing with the detritus of some apocalyptic clerical error, and it only seems to be getting worse. Michael is as equally disillusioned with death as he was with life, but at least life made more sense.In Forever After, Michael starts to question whether his immortality is really worth having. He sees clueless souls cross over every day, and battling confused succubi, tormented psychopaths, evil henchmen, and even a demon who thinks he’s Santa Claus is getting boring. Is there something more exciting for this grim reaper to do in this sad little town? This darkly humorous novel is set in a fantasy world that exists parallel to ours—a world where anything is possible, very little makes sense, and nothing is as it seems.

    Title: The Feast in the Abbey 
    Author: Robert Bloch 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1935 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series: Timeless Terrors 
    Number: 111 
    Description: 
    The Feast in the Abbey is a grim and atmospheric tale of monastic corruption, forbidden rites, and creeping supernatural dread. 
    Set in a remote medieval abbey shrouded in secrecy, the story follows a devout monk who begins to suspect that something profoundly unholy festers beneath the pious rituals of his brethren. Whispers echo through candlelit corridors, forbidden books circulate in shadow, and strange preparations are made for a feast unlike any sanctioned by the Church. 
    As the night of the gathering approaches, sacred vows give way to blasphemous ceremony. What begins as uneasy suspicion grows into mounting horror when the narrator discovers the true nature of the abbey’s hidden devotion — an allegiance not to heaven, but to darker, older powers that hunger for tribute. 
    Bloch’s prose drips with gothic atmosphere: crumbling stone cloisters, guttering tapers, echoing chants, and the suffocating weight of spiritual decay. Beneath the medieval setting lies a deeper theme — the terror of corrupted faith and the peril of secret knowledge guarded behind holy walls. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the oppressive atmosphere and mounting dread of Bloch’s dark vision. The Feast in the Abbey remains a haunting excursion into cloistered horror, where sanctity masks sacrilege and the feast is prepared not for man alone.

    Title: The Tell-Tale Heart 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1843 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 2 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is a cornerstone of Gothic horror and psychological suspense. First published in 1843, this chilling short story explores the depths of madness, obsession, and guilt. A nameless narrator insists upon his sanity even as he recounts the murder of an old man whose “vulture eye” torments him — only to be undone by the relentless sound of a phantom heartbeat beneath the floorboards. 
    This recording is narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, capturing Poe’s feverish intensity and the claustrophobic descent into insanity. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Listeners should prepare for a haunting, unforgettable experience — a tale that continues to define horror through its mastery of paranoia, tension, and the terrifying fragility of the human mind.
