  The Dreams in the Witch House

  "The Dreams in the Witch House" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, part of the Cthulhu Mythos cycle. Written in January/February 1932, it was first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales. Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics and folklore at Miskatonic University, rents an attic room in the "Witch House", a house in Arkham, Massachusetts that is rumored to be cursed. The house once harboured Keziah Mason, an accused witch who disappeared mysteriously from a Salem jail in 1692. Gilman discovers that, for the better part of two centuries, many of the attic's occupants have died prematurely. The dimensions of Gilman's attic room are unusual and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry. Gilman theorizes that the structure can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another. Gilman begins experiencing bizarre dreams in which he seems to float without physical form through an otherworldly space of unearthly geometry and indescribable colors and sounds. Among the elements, both organic and inorganic, he perceives shapes that he innately recognizes as entities which appear and disappear instantaneously and at random. Several times, his dreaming-self encounters bizarre clusters of "iridescent, prolately spheroidal bubbles", as well as a rapidly changing polyhedral-figure, both of which appear sapient. Gilman also has nightly experiences involving Keziah and her rat-bodied, human-faced familiar, Brown Jenkin, which he believes are not dreams at all. In other dreams, Gilman is taken to a city of the "Elder Things" and even brings back evidence that he has actually been there—a miniature statue of an "Elder Thing" which he breaks off from a balustrade within the city. The statue is made of unknown materials and a strange kind of alloy...

  St Pete Academy of Real Magic:...

  If you have ever felt that reality is more flexible, more alive, and more responsive than most people admit, this book is for you. 
  In St. Pete Academy of Real Magic: The Welcome Lecture, I invite you into a fictional world set in St. Petersburg, Florida that may not be fiction at all. I speak to you as if you are one of the first eight students enrolled in a yearlong private academy where the central lesson is simple and radical: you are the creator of your reality. From that foundation, I explore what becomes possible when you stop seeing yourself as powerless and start looking at your life as something you are consciously shaping. 
  This is not a fantasy novel about wands, spells, and magical bloodlines. It is a grounded, provocative, and highly personal welcome lecture about real magic as I see it: telepathy, remote viewing, intuition, conscious creation, life after death, communication with those who have passed on, transforming your health, reshaping your finances, and learning to see meaning in everything you experience. I share the stories, examples, and worldview behind the Academy, including how I believe I manifested this very reality into existence. 
  I wrote this as fiction so you can enter it with curiosity, imagination, and freedom. You can read it as a story, as a thought experiment, or as something much more personal. Whether you are skeptical, open-minded, spiritually adventurous, or quietly convinced there is far more going on here than we are taught, this book is meant to stretch your sense of what is possible. 
  If you are ready to question the limits of ordinary life and step into a world where your thoughts, choices, and desires matter far more than you have been told, welcome to the St. Pete Academy of Real Magic.

  Rats

  Title: Rats 
  Author: M. R. James 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1929 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 63 
  Description: 
  Rats is one of M. R. James’ most quietly terrifying tales — a masterclass in suggestion, atmosphere, and the dread of what lurks just out of view. Set in a decaying, isolated inn on the Suffolk coast, the story follows a solitary traveler who becomes curious about a locked upstairs room that the landlord insists is overrun by rats. The noises behind the walls, the heavy scuffling overhead, and the strange behavior of the innkeeper all point to something unnatural hiding in the shadows. 
  But when the narrator forces the door and enters the forbidden chamber, he discovers that what lies beneath the bedclothes is not a rat — nor anything that should still exist. James builds fear through restraint and implication, letting horror emerge from small details: a shifting weight, a half-seen shape, a dreadful suggestion of something once human. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings out the creeping tension and cold, scholarly terror that define M. R. James’ work. While the text itself is firmly in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest ghost stories ever written, Rats is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most frightening creatures are not the ones we expect — and that some doors should never be opened. 🕯️
