  Dostoyevsky was never shy to play with the issues of human mind in his work. A funny man's dream is one of his shorter pieces that, nevertheless, lacks none of the profundity or the mind-bending power of his larger works.

  Title: The Night Wire 
  Author: H. F. Arnold 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1926 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 47 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Night Wire by H. F. Arnold is one of the most haunting pieces of early 20th-century weird fiction — a story that fuses the hum of modern technology with a creeping, supernatural dread. 
  Inside a dim telegraph office in the dead of night, two wire operators receive a strange news report: a distant city consumed by fog and death. Yet as the dispatches continue, the events seem to unfold in real time — and ever closer to home. 
  With its claustrophobic atmosphere, its blend of realism and the uncanny, and its quiet descent into cosmic horror, The Night Wire stands as a forgotten classic of early radio-age terror — a perfect bridge between pulp mystery and Lovecraftian unease. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the dread of isolation, the crackle of the telegraph, and the mounting terror of a message that refuses to stop. 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 Night Wireendures as a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest voices come not from beyond the grave — but from the wire itself.

  The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour. The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime. He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest. The address on the package, roughly written and with a spelling correction, suggests to Holmes that the sender lacks education and is unfamiliar with Croydon. The knot in the string suggests to Holmes that they are looking for someone with sailing experience...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
