Sinopsis

The big man at the window, as though fascinated by the flood of light within the room, remained for a long time staring. Finally he turned, and instantly he grappled with the smaller shadow behind him.
"It is I!" whispered the Cheyenne hastily. "It is Standing Antelope. Take your hand from my throat, Thunder Moon!"
He was free, and the two slipped silently through the garden, through the hedges, and back into the adjoining woods where they had left their four horses.
"I, also, have seen," said the boy.
"What?" asked the other.
"I have seen the reason that brought you from the Suhtai and made you travel all these moons into the land of the white men. I have seen his face!"
"You have seen him? Then who is he, Standing Antelope?"

See You Next Winter - A festive...

Holly June Smith

The follow up to the best-selling Can I Tell You Something? 
Kayla 
Ryan Richmond and I have spent every Christmas since we were kids in the same snowy Alpine village. As we grew, so did our chemistry. 
On our eighteenth winter, we made a ‘festive friends-with-benefits’ pact: take advantage of our limited time together, then wave goodbye with no strings attached. 
Those two weeks were the highlight of my year. Until, without warning, Ryan stopped coming here for the holidays. It broke my heart, and I’m determined not to waste another winter pining over him. 
Ryan 
The best things about Christmas are snow, skiing, and sneaking around with Kayla McInnes. 
My oldest friend is funny, adventurous, and gorgeous. She's everything I'd want in a partner, if only she didn’t live half a world away. 
We always agreed a long-distance relationship was pointless, but saying goodbye got harder and harder. I thought if I stopped visiting, I’d get over her. But I was wrong. 
I can’t stay away anymore. And I’m hoping this year we can make winter last forever.

Title: Caterpillars
Series Name: Timeless Terrors

Author: E. F. Benson
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1912
Public Domain: Yes
Description:
Caterpillars is a deeply unsettling tale of creeping horror and psychological torment set amid the sun-drenched hills of the Italian countryside.
The story follows a sensitive Englishman recovering from illness at a secluded villa overlooking the Mediterranean. Seeking rest and restoration, he instead finds himself haunted by a recurring nightmare of monstrous, writhing caterpillars — pale, bloated creatures with human-like eyes and an appalling sense of intelligence. Though at first he dismisses these visions as fevered dreams, their relentless return — accompanied by a mounting sense of physical and spiritual violation — begins to erode his reason.
As the oppressive heat thickens and his isolation deepens, the boundary between dream and waking life grows perilously thin. Benson masterfully builds dread not through overt violence, but through anticipation — through the slow, crawling certainty that something loathsome and deliberate is drawing nearer. The horror lies in helplessness, in the intimate invasion of the self, and in the suggestion that unseen forces feed upon human vitality.
Unlike cosmic horror that gestures toward vast, indifferent universes, Caterpillars delivers something far more intimate and suffocating. The terror is close, tactile, and parasitic — a nightmare that clings and will not release.
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s mounting psychological tension, oppressive atmosphere, and final, lingering chill — bringing Benson’s quietly devastating vision to vivid and deeply disturbing life.
