  Description: 
  The Damned Thing by Ambrose Bierce is a chilling tale of the unseen and the unknown. First published in 1893 in Tales from New York Town Topics, it presents the strange account of a man’s violent death and the mysterious force believed to be responsible. 
  Told through a coroner’s inquest, the story unfolds in stark fragments—testimony, diary entries, and grim observation—revealing hints of an invisible creature that moves through the natural world, stalking its prey. Bierce masterfully blends psychological dread with cosmic horror, leaving readers to confront the terrifying possibility of forces beyond human perception. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie tension and stark fatalism that defines Bierce’s writing. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Listeners should be prepared for a haunting meditation on mortality, fear, and the unseen horrors that may lurk just beyond the reach of human senses.

  A groundbreaking voice in contemporary Latin American literature, María Fernanda Ampuero's writing is "raw and savage" as she confronts machismo, inequity, and violence in this acclaimed short story collection (Vistazo). 
   
   
   
  An undocumented woman answers a job posting only to find herself held hostage, a group of outcasts obsess over boys drowned while surfing, and an unhappy couple finds themselves trapped in a terrifying maze. With scalpel-like precision, Ampuero considers the price paid by those on the margins so that the elite might lounge comfortably, considering themselves safe in their homes. 
   
   
   
  Simultaneously terrifying and exquisite, Human Sacrifices is "tropical gothic" at its finest—decay and oppression underlie our humid and hostile world, where working-class women and children are consistently the weakest links in a capitalist economy. Against this backdrop of corrosion and rot, these twelve stories contemplate the nature of exploitation and abuse, illuminating the realities of those society consumes for its own pitiless ends. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  In The Crystal Egg, H.G. Wells delivers a chilling, contemplative tale of obsession and cosmic mystery.
