Death's Door

Michael Slade

Editorial: Open Road Media Mystery & Thriller

Sinopsis

“A Grade A thriller . . . twisted, near-omnipotent villains, brutal violence, sharp plot twists, solid (and enthralling) historical research.” —The Vancouver Sun Canadian Mountie Robert DeClercq and his Special X team are facing down a stolen mummy with a trail of corpses in its wake. The question is: Is this the work of one killer? Or is it some sort of diabolical conspiracy? DeClercq’s investigation leads him to a local porn king who specializes in snuff videos and a fresh trail of mutilated female bodies being dumped around the Gulf Islands. But just when DeClercq narrows in on the criminality behind these abominable murders, an old enemy returns. Not only is Mephisto determined to destroy DeClercq once and for all, but this megalomaniac won’t stop until he puts all of humanity at the brink of Death’s Door. . . . “There are psycho thrillers and there are psycho thrillers, and the ones to watch are those by Michael Slade. This high-powered mystery stars a psycho so heinous that you might want to take a deep breath before starting this baffling case. [Death’s Door is] a story to be read with caution.” —Ottawa Citizen “There isn’t a precedent for the barbaric brilliance of a Slade novel. With its well-researched, candid ventures into the most deranged of sick psyches, Death’s Door is a witches’ brew of intense intellectualism, police procedure, and white-knuckle, wince-inducing gore.” —Rue Morgue “Slade has finely honed his skills . . . You’ll be up all night reading it and, before you finally sleep, you’ll check under the bed.” —The Vancouver Sun

Title: At the Mountains of Madness — Part 2 of 12
Author: H. P. Lovecraft
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1936
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 84 — Part 2 of 12
Description:
Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 83, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s landmark work of cosmic horror, At the Mountains of Madness.
In Part Two, the Miskatonic University expedition is fully underway as the Antarctic base is established and scientific operations begin in earnest. The narrative details the expedition’s organization, personnel, and methods, grounding the story in realism while quietly building a sense of unease.
As drilling and exploration commence, the team uncovers fossil evidence embedded deep within the ancient ice—findings that defy accepted scientific timelines and suggest forms of life far older and more complex than previously imagined. Though the discoveries are greeted with professional excitement, subtle inconsistencies and disturbing implications begin to emerge.
Lovecraft intensifies the atmosphere through careful description and restraint, allowing the Antarctic landscape itself—vast, silent, and hostile—to loom as an oppressive presence. What appears to be a triumph of human curiosity slowly becomes a prelude to something far more unsettling.
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the methodical pacing and growing dread that define Lovecraft’s most ambitious tale.
This is Part 2 of a 12-part complete audiobook series. Stay tuned—the secrets beneath the ice are only beginning to reveal themselves.
