  Title: The Sea Curse 
  Author: Robert E. Howard 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1928 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series: Timeless Terrors 
  Number: 99 
  Description: 
  The Sea Curse is a brooding tale of vengeance, doomed love, and the relentless power of fate, set against the harsh winds and restless tides of the North Sea. The story follows a fisherman whose youthful betrayal of a dark-eyed woman—ostracized by the village as a witch—returns to haunt him years later. When she vanishes into the sea after calling down a terrible curse, he dismisses her words as the ravings of a scorned heart. But the ocean remembers. 
  As time passes, prosperity and family dull his guilt—until the sea begins to claim what he loves most. One by one, tragedy strikes with uncanny precision, and whispers of witchcraft rise again among the wary villagers. Howard weaves folklore and fatalism into a stark maritime drama, where superstition and destiny intertwine and no man may outrun the tides of his own making. 
  Unlike tales of cosmic horror, The Sea Curse derives its dread from inevitability—the slow, tightening coil of retribution born from cruelty and pride. The sea itself becomes a silent, implacable force: vast, indifferent, and hungry. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Howard’s austere prose and gathering sense of doom, immersing listeners in a world of crashing surf, lonely shores, and ancestral fear.

  The House - From their pens to...

  W L George

  Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
  It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
  By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
  His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
  His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
  W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

  Edward Everett Hale’s The Man Without a Country is a poignant and patriotic short story that explores the devastating consequences of exile and the importance of national identity. The story follows Philip Nolan, a young army officer who, in a moment of reckless defiance, renounces his country during a treason trial. As punishment, he is sentenced to spend the rest of his life at sea, never again hearing mention of the United States. Over the years, Nolan comes to deeply regret his actions, realizing the true meaning of belonging and patriotism as he drifts from one ship to another, forever a man without a home. 
  Narrated by Burt Glendower, this audiobook brings to life Hale’s moving and thought-provoking tale, which remains a powerful meditation on loyalty, identity, and the profound connection between an individual and their homeland. Originally published in 1863, The Man Without a Country was written during the American Civil War, serving as a cautionary tale meant to inspire national unity and devotion.
