    Title: Pigeons from Hell 
    Author: Robert E. Howard 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1938 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series: Timeless Terrors 
    Number: 105 
    Description: 
    Pigeons from Hell is widely regarded as one of the most chilling works of Southern Gothic horror ever written. The story follows two travelers who seek shelter for the night in a decaying plantation mansion deep in the oppressive backwoods of Georgia. What seems like a refuge from the heat quickly becomes a place of mounting dread as strange noises echo through the abandoned halls and the relentless fluttering of pigeons fills the darkened attic above. 
    Before morning comes, terror strikes — one man is found dead, his face frozen in a mask of unimaginable horror. As authorities investigate the grim scene, whispers emerge of a terrible family history tied to the crumbling estate: cruelty, madness, and dark folk traditions rooted in the region’s past. 
    Blending folklore, mystery, and supernatural horror, Robert E. Howard crafts an atmosphere thick with tension and unease. The sweltering Southern landscape, the haunted ruin of the plantation house, and the restless wings of the pigeons all combine to create a story where the past refuses to remain buried. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings new life to Howard’s most famous horror tale, capturing the creeping dread and nightmarish intensity that have made Pigeons from Hell a cornerstone of classic weird fiction.

    After many years of wondering about what he'd seen on the fateful day he joined Armstrong Research, Jesse McDermitt now has the means to return to the shipwreck he only glimpsed for a second during a harrowing ascent from the darkest depths of the Florida Straits. 
    That glimpse cost his friend an eye and nearly took both their lives. 
    Retired from Armstrong Research, but with his curiosity unsatisfied, Jesse plans to return to the dark depths in the Gulf Stream to learn whatever he can about the ship and her crew. The secretive Armstrong base on North Bimini is nearby and when Jesse and friends visit, he receives a warning... and a request. 
    As always, Jesse takes the warning to heart, but he is much more intrigued by the request to head up a team of the world's most elite operatives with but a single goal—to depose one of the corrupt leaders of a sovereign nation. Permanently. 
    The doomed ship has lain at the bottom of the ocean for over two hundred years, and it's been more than eight years since Jesse first spotted it. Training for the suggested mission won’t start for another month. 
    What kind of ship was it, lying there in the deep, dark trench? Who were her crew? How did they die? Is the ship truly cursed? 
    Down there in the darkness, more than a hundred fathoms beneath the waves, nobody can hear you scream.
