Summary

Dedicated with affection to all those (and there are many) who have given their love to someone and had to contend with their illness, even though they knew that they have no chance of winning; and to those who had to coexist with a love like this.

”Over twenty years ago a girl I loved like myself asked me to leave her forever because of her poor health, and not to contact her again. I agreed, with death in my heart, and intending it only as an act of love on her part towards me, to allow me to build a normal and happy family blessed with children. In 2013 Sara left this life. And on that occasion, together with the certainty that at this point what had happened could not be changed, and despite the fact that I found myself with two wonderful daughters, returned the doubt of having made, back then, the right choice.” A story of troubled and romanticized love, drawn from several short stories which, although independent of each other, follow in part the logical and chronological steps of the story. A tribute to my first love, savored and then lost, at a year from her death: a collection stories about her and inspired by her.

Title: The Shadow Over Innsmouth 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1936 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Part 3 of Number 56 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Shadow Over Innsmouth is Lovecraft’s classic tale of a decaying seaside town bound to an ancient horror from the deep. 
The story follows a traveler who visits the isolated port of Innsmouth, only to discover its inhabitants bear unsettling, amphibious traits — bulging eyes, flabby lips, and a strange, slinking gait. Through whispered rumors and a terrifying night on the run, he uncovers the truth: generations ago, the townsfolk struck a pact with the Deep Ones, an ancient ocean-dwelling race that offers wealth and longevity at a terrible cost. 
As the narrator flees through collapsing streets and foggy wharves, pursued by inhuman figures emerging from the sea, he confronts a revelation far more disturbing than the town itself — one that ties his own fate to Innsmouth’s monstrous legacy. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this public-domain classic is revived in a fresh, chilling performance. The Shadow Over Innsmouth remains a cornerstone of maritime horror and one of Lovecraft’s most enduring nightmares.

There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
 
From their pens to your your ears.

Title: The Dunwich Horror — Part 2 of 10 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1929 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 62 — Part 2 of 10 
Description: 
Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, featuring one of H. P. Lovecraft’s most infamous works of cosmic dread: The Dunwich Horror. 
In the remote Massachusetts village of Dunwich, something is terribly wrong. The Whateley family — feared, shunned, whispered about — has welcomed a child into the world… but Wilbur Whateley is no ordinary boy. He grows unnaturally fast, speaks strange languages, and seeks forbidden knowledge from the Necronomicon itself. 
Locked away in their decaying farmhouse, Wilbur and his occult-obsessed grandfather nurture a monstrous secret — a presence too large, too hungry, and too alien to remain hidden much longer. 
As livestock vanish, the hills tremble, and the air fills with unholy sounds, the truth becomes undeniable: 
an unseen horror is waiting to break free. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this fresh performance resurrects a groundbreaking tale of ancient gods, corrupted bloodlines, and the terrifying thinness of reality. 
This is Part 2 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare has only begun.
