Summary

A camera captures more than light—it remembers. A prophet speaks truth through signal interference. A body blooms with secrets it was never meant to hold.
 
In this chilling and cerebral collection, seven twist-laden tales unravel the limits of trust, sanity, and technology. A filmmaker discovers her footage is watching her back. A family heirloom turns a reading of the will into something more grotesque than legal. Behind encrypted walls and digital ghosts, minds fracture and reassemble in horrifying new ways.
 
A grieving hacker awakens something ancient in the code. A prophet’s words twist through tangled networks. A virus of silence grows inside a woman—organic, unspoken, fatal. In another tale, blood isn’t just thicker than water—it’s smarter than the people who carry it.
 
Every character in this volume is one decision away from unraveling the veil between what they think is true and what actually breathes beneath it. Inheritances are traps, voices are weapons, and silence is never empty.
 
What happens when the system you rely on—your mind, your faith, your family—refuses to obey the rules?

He has an ability to create a unique reading experience with great scares and memorable characters. I knew the moment I finished reading Every House Is Haunted that Ian was someone I wanted to work with.” — Sam Raimi, Director of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness“...the 22 stories in Rogers’s debut collection demonstrate the author’s talent for finding the terrifying in the seemingly ordinary... This work of classic horror in the style of Shirley Jackson, Richard Matheson, and early Stephen King should attract fans of a more refined kind of horror.” — Library Journal“...Rogers offers some real gems. Every House Is Haunted is a harbinger of great things to come.” — San Francisco Book Review

    Title: The Horla 
    Author: Guy de Maupassant 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1887 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 64 
    Description: 
    The Horla is one of Guy de Maupassant’s most unsettling tales — a study of madness, obsession, and the invisible forces that may govern our lives. Told in the form of a diary, the story follows an unnamed narrator whose calm, orderly life gradually unravels as he becomes convinced that an unseen, supernatural being is haunting him — controlling his thoughts, his desires, and even his will to live. 
    Maupassant blends psychological horror with the uncanny, crafting a story where fear grows not from gore, but from the creeping realization that the human mind may be powerless against what it cannot perceive. The ordinary becomes sinister: windows seem to watch, the air feels heavy with presence, and the night is filled with a silent, inescapable dread. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the mounting terror and disorientation of Maupassant’s masterpiece. While the text itself is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classics of horror, The Horla is a chilling reminder that some fears are real — and some presences are beyond comprehension. 🕯️
