The Apparition of Mrs. Veal is a pamphlet published in 1706, often attributed to Daniel Defoe, and is considered one of the first modern ghost stories. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of Mrs. Bargrave, a resident of Canterbury, who receives an unexpected visit from her deceased friend, Mrs. Veal, the day after her death. On September 8, 1705, Mrs. Bargrave is surprised when Mrs. Veal knocks on her door at noon, dressed in a riding habit. The two women engage in a heartfelt conversation where Mrs. Veal expresses a desire to reconnect before embarking on a journey. She discusses their shared past, including books they read together about death and friendship, and asks Mrs. Bargrave to write a letter to her brother regarding her possessions, including a purse of gold.Despite Mrs. Bargrave's initial joy at the reunion, she becomes increasingly unsettled by the peculiar nature of their conversation and Mrs. Veal's refusal to touch anything due to her discomfort.

Title: Polaris Author: H. P. Lovecraft Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1920 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 43 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: Polaris by H. P. Lovecraft is a dreamlike descent into obsession, identity, and cosmic futility. Set beneath the eerie shimmer of the North Star, it unfolds as both a tale of ancient war and a fevered vision of a soul caught between two worlds — the waking and the eternal. The narrator, haunted by dreams of a lost city beneath the Arctic light, becomes convinced he is the reincarnation of a watchman doomed to fail in his sacred duty. As memory, madness, and destiny blur, Polaris becomes a meditation on guilt and the insignificance of man beneath the indifferent stars. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Lovecraft’s hypnotic rhythm and the slow unravelling of sanity that defines his early cosmic vision — the sense that truth may be glimpsed only in dreams, and that awakening brings no escape. 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, Polaris endures as an early glimpse of Lovecraft’s cosmic dread — a haunting reminder that even the stars above may whisper our doom.Ver libro
