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 Call of Cthulhu 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1928 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 34 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft is the cornerstone of cosmic horror — a vast and terrifying revelation that humanity is but a fleeting whisper beneath the gaze of ancient, indifferent gods. Told through fragmented reports, journal entries, and the haunted memories of those who have glimpsed forbidden truths, it weaves a chilling investigation into the cult of Cthulhu — a monstrous being sleeping beneath the Pacific, whose awakening would end all that we know. 
    Lovecraft constructs his myth through suggestion and implication, blending mystery, anthropology, and existential terror into a narrative that expands horror beyond the human scale. This is not merely a story of monsters, but of meaning undone — where sanity erodes in the face of incomprehensible reality. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author  Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s investigative tension and creeping dread — the inexorable uncovering of truths too vast for the mind to hold. 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 devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, The Call of Cthulhu stands as Lovecraft’s defining vision — a tale of cosmic insignificance, ancient worship, and the terrible awakening of what should forever sleep. 
    Prepare for a descent into madness, mystery, and myth — where knowledge itself is the most dangerous horror of all.

    The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, the draft was completed on January 22, 1927 and it remained unrevised and unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.
