Sinopse

This thriller from an author who “writes the kind of stuff of which nightmares are made” pits a madman intent on world domination against a Canadian Mountie (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).   Robert DeClercq has faced a lot of psychos as the head of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. But never one as evil as Mephisto, a megalomaniac intent on recovering a relic rumored to hold the secrets of Stonehenge—mysteries Mephisto hopes to exploit for his own diabolical ends.   Determined to make DeClercq a pawn in his plan to uncover the ancient treasure, Mephisto lures him in by abducting one of DeClercq’s own. Now DeClercq is in a race against time to save his friend and fellow cop from a slow and torturous death—and save the world from Mephisto’s sinister scheme to create a hell on Earth.   “The psycho to end all psychos. Mephisto makes Hannibal Lecter seem like an Oxford don with slightly unorthodox culinary tastes.” —The Vancouver Sun   “Burnt Bones is a very original thriller—nice and gory, with plenty of scenery-chewing scenes . . . that should appeal to anyone looking for a change from the usual stuff that litters bookstore shelves.” —The Chronicle Herald

    Title: The Yellow Wallpaper 
    Author: Charlotte Perkins Gilman 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1892 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 4 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a groundbreaking work of psychological horror and early feminist literature. First published in 1892 in The New England Magazine, it tells the story of a woman suffering from postpartum depression who is confined to a room by her physician husband under the guise of a “rest cure.” 
    As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room’s grotesque yellow wallpaper, her mind unravels in a chilling descent into madness. Gilman’s story is both a critique of the oppressive medical and social attitudes of her time and a powerful exploration of mental health, autonomy, and the dangers of silencing women. 
    This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the story’s creeping dread and psychological intensity. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Listeners should expect an unsettling, claustrophobic tale that remains one of the most influential and enduring pieces of American gothic literature.

    Antiques dealer and spiritual medium Elle Barclay is called to a stately Illinois mansion to appraise a figurine collection. What should be a simple assessment takes an unexpected turn when the residual energy of the deceased matriarch charges Elle with protecting the estate for Martin. 
    Martin who? 
    A violent pop-up storm brings a sailor to the front door seeking shelter. He claims to be Martin Foster, the heir who was lost in the Bermuda Triangle a hundred years ago. 
    Suddenly, the current owner of the estate speaks in a voice not his own—the voice of an angry spirit determined to ensure the transfer of the property to Martin—but Martin’s theoretical passage through time and space has taken a toll on his health. He may die before his identify can be verified. 
    Other souls who perished in the house return to reveal the mansion’s dark history of treachery and greed dating back to the Prohibition Era. Elle is running out of time to appease the vengeful spirits, putting the whole family at Horned Owl Hollow in danger.
