Sinopse

In this “mind-bender” about a psychopath seeking revenge “the plot yanks you compulsively toward its solution, and the shocks make you jerk back in fright” (Toronto Star).   The Winter Olympics are coming to western Canada, but the mood is far from celebratory when a snowboarder is murdered on the slopes, his corpse mutilated. And he’s only the first athlete to suffer a grisly end. Soon, a raging winter storm and a deranged killer’s team of mercenaries has cut Whistler Mountain off from the rest of the world.   It’s a whodunit especially suited to the Special X team, which specializes in psychopathic behavior. Except an old enemy is targeting team commander Robert DeClercq. Bent on bloody revenge, Mephisto has elaborate plan that includes assassinating anyone connected with the Canadian Mountie. And that’s just the start of this megalomaniac’s horrific doomsday scheme . . .    Let the games begin!   “As always with Slade, a cracking good detective story.” —Anne Perry, New York Times–bestselling author of the Thomas Pitt series   “Red Snow is crisply written, sly and exciting. Michael Slade is a writer who clearly knows how to tell a story and make it real.” —Robert McCammon, New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song and the Matthew Corbett series   “Red snow indeed! This one is guaranteed to keep you awake with the lights burning.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)   “In the annals of dark fiction, Canada can claim one true champion in Michael Slade. . . . The plot yanks you compulsively toward its solution, and the shocks make you jerk back in fright.” —Toronto Star   “Very good twists, and a great villain. Mephisto, who seems to have attained a new level of insanity, is the kind of homicidal maniac you can’t take your eyes off. The writing is tight and compelling.” —Winnipeg Free Press

    Title: The Tree 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1921 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 33 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Tree by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting parable of art, envy, and the quiet vengeance of nature — a story where beauty and death grow from the same root. Set in ancient Greece, it tells of two sculptors, Musides and Kalos, whose friendship and creative genius draw the admiration of all who know them. Yet when jealousy, death, and strange growths intertwine, the boundaries between art and decay dissolve into something both poetic and terrible. 
    Lovecraft’s tale departs from his usual cosmic scale to reveal horror in the natural and the human — a mythic meditation on pride, mortality, and the price of creative rivalry. Beneath its serene surface lies a creeping inevitability, where the living and the dead are bound by the same relentless cycle. 
    Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the story’s classical rhythm and tragic atmosphere — the stillness of marble, the whisper of leaves, and the final, inescapable judgment of the earth itself. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the great voices of the uncanny, The Tree stands as a tale of eerie beauty and timeless punishment — where the roots of envy reach far deeper than the grave. 
    Prepare for a story carved in stone and shadow, where art becomes epitaph and the living are outlasted by what they create.
